From The Question Fairy:
Soros' Money to Fund Inaugural Protestors?
In a tantalizing tidbit, the Washington Post glows about the coming inaugural protests. One protestor in particular caught the eye of the Question Fairy, causing said Fairy to ask - "Where have I heard that name before?"
That name - Shahid Buttar - is a little hard to forget. According to the Washington Post:
"This is a people's uprising," said Shahid Buttar, 30, a Washington lawyer involved in the D.C. Cluster Spokescouncil, a coordinating body for about 50 local and out-of-town protest groups.
Where had I seen that name before? Why, it was with the RUCKUS society - a society funded by George Soros himself.
As per "Project Censored":
Washington D.C. lawyer Shahid Buttar, a volunteer with the Ruckus Society and key organizer for the A31 civil disobedience, stated at that day’s press conference, “Throughout this week’s coverage of the resistance to the RNC, there has been a consistent depiction of this block of America as being organized by an all inclusive body of anarchists. There could be nothing further from the truth. This is an uprising, of the nonviolent variety, by the people of New York and their allies.”
And indeed, Mr. Soros himself rights checks to the Ruckus society, according to Front Page Magazine's Richard Poe:
In the age of Soros, mainstream Democrats have embraced the thuggish tactics of NPA and similar groups. The sudden emergence of street thugs as a force in U.S. politics calls to mind the elevation of similar groups overseas, where Soros often bankrolls street radicals with a zest for physical confrontation. Readers should note that NPA receives funding from the Tides Foundation -- an institution to which Soros contributes generously (more than $13 million between 1997 and 2003). (7)The notorious Ruckus Society also draws money from the Tides Foundation. Its rioters paralyzed Seattle during the World Trade Organization meeting there in 1999 and wreaked havoc during the 2000 Republican convention in Philadelphia. The Ruckus Society runs a network of training camps, which have been working furiously for months to prepare street activists for the 2004 election season.
It's pathetic enough that these people should continue in their dreary little jobs as protest lackeys so long after they have ceased to be effective. But to find out that George Soros still might be writing checks for the purpose of disrupting an already bygone election? That positively sad.
Soros' paid protestors need to get some Prozac - and they need to get a life. The election is over, and so is their relevance. May the flaccid impotence of their pitiful protests lead them to enlightement; or at least, may it lead them to get a real job and get over it. Soros' Money to Fund Inaugural Protestors?
Like I said earlier........ 250,000 Bush supporters could trample the whiners and make a little of their own Ruckus.
They wouldn't find them till they started cleaning up the streets.
"Dozens" of organizations, with overlapping memberships. The whole thing is phoney.
