With his penchant for governing from the shadows by means of pawns in high places, Soros resembles either the Emperor from the Star Wars saga or Blofeld from the James Bond moves.
Either way, we are in for a rough time.

Indications of a Soros involvement in Rush's woes. Turns out that Soros is an investor in Checkett's group. Was Soros always involved with Checkett, or did he come in after Checkett threw Limbaugh under the bus?
He’s like the borg!
Soros’s can’t get approved with his NAZI ties.
They are saying Rush is “divisive” as an investor. What about Soros?
What was Soros doing in on this deal? Isn’t he a convicted felon in France? Why isn’t he a convicted felon in the US?
Media runs cover for Liberals... Soros is an anti-semite by his own admission he stirs hate toward Jewish people... but nobody says a word....
Soros is a black hole of nihilism.
Good question. Was Rush set up?
It’s unbelieveable to me how this thing played out. Wasn’t it just a few days ago that news broke that Rush was part of a group seeking to buy the Rams? Then, within the past few days, the MSM dutifully reports false quotes from Rush about racial issues, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton weigh in, and all of a sudden, Rush is deemed unfit to own a football team.
The same NFL that has seen a growing criminal element among its players, and tolerates same, decides that expressed conservative political opinion is “verboten” among its ownership. Approx. 15% of NFL players, according to what I have read, have been or are in trouble with the law. That’s a huge percentage of players who have been arrested for everything from DUI to domestic violence to nightclub brawls/shootings to dog fighting. We are supposed to spend our money and buy tickets to watch these guys play, guys who are definitely not role models for anyone. Yet in the case of team owners, we want to set a very high standard that most people cannot meet, because they want owners who meet a certain standard of political opinion, or of not generating controversy, or some such pablum.
Exactly what are the new standards for NFL owners? Do you have to be liberal, and then everything else is forgiven? Were these standards enforced when all of the other current owners bought their teams?
Interesting comments on Hewitt’s show about libel laws being far stricter in Canada and UK........CNN could easily get sued in those countries for broadcasting lies that were widely known (by anyone with a serious claim to fact-checking) to be lies.
All the money and fame, but can't own his team. He grew up in the St. Louis area too.

I have no doubt this was a set up, but I have to wonder who was being set up. Could be Rush was not the original target and in the end was collateral damage. I just can’t see anyone taking on Rush with so obvious a set up.
Something obviously changed between the original contact on the golf course, the meeting at his house and last Friday. Sounds like someone got caught in the middle!
follow the money
Great time line and comments, Dilbert.
That is true, not a peep.
I always wondered if they drugged the cat?
Isn’t Soros Jewish?
Our owner here in Indianapolis was found to be involved in dealing and using illegal prescription drugs, and was one of the first to come out publicly against Rush. Add that to Ray Lewis who was implicated in a murder, Vick’s dog fighting and killing, half of the Bengals roster having prison numbers to go with their uni numbers, multiple cases of domestic and drug abuse and so much for glass houses.
