Was Rush Set Up? (Soros-NFL connection)
American Thinker Blogs ^ | Oct 15, 2009 | Thomas Lifson

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?

Good evening.

Imho, Mr. Limbaugh should purchase a brand new, top of the line technology, secure, etc. communications satellite, and put it into orbit. In the comings months, given our current government, it would be a better investment than the Rams.

BIG trouble for those who nixed Rush.

FOR EXAMPLE: RICO laws govern conspiracies by “organized individuals” to thwart interstate commerce.

Soros could be in trouble for “conspiring with NFL insiders” to thwart Rush’s ability to earn money from his investment.

I would like to see him spend some of his money on a top of the line private investigation company and turn them loose on these liberal scumbags.

Good points Liz, but who will prosecute? Holder’s DOJ?

It’s worse than just hatred. Ann Coulter said on Hannity that Soros pointed out the Jews to the Nazis during WWII. She said that Soros is on tape admitting this during an interview.

Wow, if Rush was set up, it is one of the bigger backfires of all time, at least as far as my life is concerned.

I have watched NFL football since I was about 10 years old--I'm in my 4th decade...but frankly, I don't give a damn about it after this high tech lynching.

I'm done buying their shirts, watching their games, NFL Sunday ticket (though I didn't buy it this year, I did buy it three years in a row; finances wouldn't permit this time 'round! But even once things do turn around, I'm not interested.)...

So I don't know how many people are really serious about leaving the game to its own perverted devices, but I am. They can recruit someone else with my income to buy into their crap.

I may even go so far as to ask about NFL sponsors and purposely not buy their stuff...probably not, 'cause I'm a NASCAR fan, too, and there probably is a lot of bleedover.

But the National Football League can cram it up sideways--this fan is gone.

And then Sean did his usual--okay, thank you. And cut her off. I was so embarrassed for Annie.

Dodgers bidder adds investor
Compiled from Times wires

© St. Petersburg Times, published March 4, 2003

LOS ANGELES — Former New York sports executive David Checketts has assembled part of the financing for his $620-million bid to buy the Dodgers, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The paper reported Monday that Checketts has gained a commitment from billionaire financier George Soros, who has agreed to put up less than $100-million in equity in what would be his first investment in a sports franchise.

The Los Angeles Times also said Checketts has lined up two banks and is seeking a third to secure financing of $300 million. The newspaper reported the banks are J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and FleetBoston Financial Corp.

They are saying Rush is “divisive” as an investor. What about Soros?

What about Al Davis?

This whole Rush/NFL thing is beyond the pale and a line needs to be drawn in the sand. This is unacceptable - period.

It was unfortunate that Sean cut Ann off - no follow up. Why not air the Soros interview where he admits to sending Jews to the gas chamber?

As far as Ann is concerned, I like her alot, but she needs to find herself another makeup artist and ditch those hideous false eyelashes.

This is not only a message to Rush, it is a message to us all. No matter how powerful you are, we can destroy what you like by smearing you with lies.

I have seen it cower people in Multicultural trainings. I have seen it in the schools and colleges. We all can be smeared.

That’s why I rarely watch his show...when a guest says something really good he’ll say—yeah. And then interrupt with one of his talking points. Or abruptly end the interview. Funny I noticed her makeup tonight, too.

I would not be surprised in the least. Rush needs to go for their throats and make them sorry financally and then demand very public apologies from everyone! Hopefully he’d end up with enough to outright buy the Steelers himself if they ever come up for sale. :)

My son was an absolute fanatic about pro football, but he said the same thing as you did. He said he is through with them.

Do you believe in evil? Here is a partial transcript from an interview done by Steve Kroft for CBS' 60 Minutes George Soros on December 20, 1998: Soros Helped The Nazis During Holocaust

His actions, past and present, sure give us reasons to wonder.

That was a very chilling exchange.

Soros is damaged goods. At the very least, a sociopath.
