The Left: The smear ad published against Gen. Petraeus has drawn attention to its sponsor, MoveOn.org. But the fingerprints of the group's chief financial backer, George Soros, were all over it. Who is this man and what is he up to?
o read Soros' own spun story, he's a Jewish survivor of Nazi-occupied Hungary who pulled himself up by his bootstraps, studied economics in England, became a U.S. citizen in 1961 and made a multibillion-dollar fortune as a financier who pioneered hedge funds.
Over the years, Soros has written books giving his philosophical take on global affairs and acquired a reputation as something of a "stateless statesman." He calls himself a philanthropist and has given away $5 billion of his now $8.5 billion fortune through his principal vehicle, the Open Society Institute. The institute, in turn, has passed cash on to far more radical groups, such as MoveOn.org.

Probably because deep down he actually admires Stalin and Hitler.
Surely this man has broken laws. Is there any reason not to investigate him?
I have to get to the bottom of this.
I can understand why power hungry wealthy public serpents like Corzine, John Edwards, Bloomberg would run as populist candidates.
They already have money and they lust for power and control. The easist way to get it is to promise people largesse from the public treasury.
But Soros I can’t figure out. He’s not running for office.
There is something else there that drives him maniacally day and night. What is it?
One consolation is his birth date. August 12th 1930.
That is nobodies fault.
A hatred of America, plain and simple.
Some have suggested that he’s probably made money off of illegal drugs.
My belief is that he wants the the deeply crooked Clintons back in power, so as to once again have access to top secret State Department and CIA financial data. This illegal insider information will make him more billions in currency trading fraud, as it did in the previous Clinton administration.
Soros was convicted by France for insider stock trading and fined heavily. Had he been convicted of this crime in the U.S., he would be a convicted felon.
I read somewhere he came to the US in 1956. Can he prove he is legal? Where does he get his money? Does he have a family? Do they play a role in America bashing? Why does he hate George Bush so much? Is he really a mover/shaker or does he operate as other crooks do? Why isn’t our govenment actually looking into the background of the obvious American hater? Why does he want to change America?
Madellein Albright quotes him.

I’m going to say this with all seriousness.
The left has been succesful in planting machine voting.
Pelosi was very smug about this in 2006.
Be very, very suspect about the results in any election won by the Left where voting machines are involved.
I’m just sayin’....
You’ve been warned.
He became a United States citizen in 1961.
Through Hsu's?
No reason not to, but a good reason why he has not been. ($$$)
Remember Theresa Hines Kerry’s house in Ketchum, Idaho? George Soros has the house next door. Protected from wildfires by private security this year. Any connection, you think?
Looks to me like our 8 yr Bush “honeymoon” is about to come to a screeching halt. Party’s over, gang. Roll up your sleeves and prepare for a long and bloody battle.
May I offer a slight change.... Soros has an ABSOLUTE hatred of America, plain and simple. I will rejoice on the day this utterly evil entity is gone from this Earth. There are few people are Earth as evil as Soros.
Very good question.
