Billionaire investor and philanthropist George Soros warned tonight in New York that the combination of Fox News, Glenn Beck, The Tea Party, and the ability of Americans to fantasize unrealistically about their political system might lead “this open society to be on the verge of some dictatorial democracy.”
Soros mentioned George Orwell’s novel, “1984″ as a possible precedent for the kind of fantasies being promulgated in our culture today. Orwell’s “1984″ satirized the Communist system of absolute control over society and politics that prevailed in the Soviet Union until 1990.
Soros was speaking extemporaneously in conversation with CNN newsman Fareed Zakaria at a International Crisis Center dinner that honored him at the Pierre Hotel.
Former President Bill Clinton, Lord Christopher Patten, Chancellor of Oxford University, hedge fund multibillionaire Paul Tudor Jones, all spoke eloquently about Soros contribution to global order.

take the opposite of what he says and believe it (like obamanation)...he can only dream about his desire to have us under him in a dictatorship... he doesn’t fool anyone.. he’s just a fool
Liberals, democrats and liars ALWAYS accuse you of what they are doing.
Where’s a good myocardial infarction when we need one? Heaven knows he’s old enough.
“Former President Bill Clinton, Lord Christopher Patten, Chancellor of Oxford University, hedge fund multibillionaire Paul Tudor Jones, all spoke eloquently about Soros contribution to global order.”
Fascists all!
I still think he will not get his way.
Call me a fool.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
This is a mindblower.
Shove it up your smelly Obama, Soros.
It really ticks you off that despite your bucks, Fox is eating your shorts.
There IS a danger—but it’s coming from Soros. Shame on Forbes for helping him.
George hates sunlite!
“You have got to see this” ping!
He won’t get it from me while I still breathe.
Fair amount of projection going on here.
That is exactly what he has always wanted
Glenn Talked about this on his show tonight. He even offered Forbes a yellow phone for a chat.
What’s wrong is right, what’s black is white and Soros’ speech will go down the memory hole.
Orwell should be required reading.
>>It really ticks you off that despite your bucks, Fox is eating your shorts.<<
Got got that right.
Billionaire against Billionaire.
I think he screwed over Murdock at one point or another.
Just taking his comment on it’s face it is insanity. And he seems to be saying we are fantasizing about the benefits of our current form of government. This guy is a real evil dude.
How Glenn Beck is going to bring about a dictatorship by criticizing George Soros is beyond any sane person to understand.
In other words. Let’s break the currency so I can get richer and control more (sounds like a DUmmie doesn’t it)?
