New Yorker Hit Piece Demonizes Koch Brothers for Thought Crime of Supporting Conservative Causes

The Tea Parties are driving the liberals crazy. They charged that Tea Partiers were racists but that pretty much backfired on them when they were unable to collect on the $100,000 Breitbart prize offered for any video evidence of racial epithets that were supposedly hurled at congressmen on March 20 at the Capitol. Now it seems that they have gone back to the Nancy Pelosi charge of accusing the grassroots Tea Party of being an "astroturf" organization. And who is suposedly financing them? According to a New Yorker hit piece article written by Jane Mayer, much of the money is coming from businessmen brothers, Charles and David Koch.

Of course, any article complaining about businessmen contributing to conservative causes will have a big elephant in the room in the form of George Soros who pours hundreds of millions into the far left movement. And that elephant is so large that even Mayer can't ignore it. So what to do? Why, portray Soros as saintly. So start plucking your harps as you read the hilarious money quote Mayer employs to explain away this hypocritical matter by presenting the "benevolent" Soros floating upon his heavenly cloud:

Of course, Democrats give money, too. Their most prominent donor, the financier George Soros, runs a foundation, the Open Society Institute, that has spent as much as a hundred million dollars a year in America. Soros has also made generous private contributions to various Democratic campaigns, including Obama’s. But Michael Vachon, his spokesman, argued that Soros’s giving is transparent, and that “none of his contributions are in the service of his own economic interests.”

Donating big money to political causes is only permissible when performed by liberals like George Soros giving to leftwing causes according to the philosophy of Jane Mayer.

“none of his contributions are in the service of his own economic interests.”

If he is trying to bring about a stalinist paradise, he does not care about his economic interests unless it serves his goal.

"George Soros giving to leftwing causes according to the philosophy of Jane Mayer."

I know she has big-time competition, but I personally can't think of a more detestable "journalist" than Jane Mayer. She's a scourge - a one woman plague on humanity.

Here in Kansas, we have a show down between Soros and the Koch brothers.

Soros is backing Rajeev Goyle in the Kansas 4th Congressional District.

[skeeter]

Has there been a single piece of reportage in the MSM mentioning the name George Soros?

I've never seen or heard it.

I’m not taking the bait. Gladnick doesn’t get to define the debate with his kooky conspiracy theories. He’s a far left goosestepper who supports the world-wide left-wing fascist movement and its various satellite cults, which includes the ponderous and boring New York media. Seventy years ago he would’ve found excitement and meaning in his life by standing on a streetcorner and screaming “Seig Heil!”

[PJ-Comix]

???? Do you mind EXPLAINING your post?

[sergeantdave]

Sure...

I’m not accepting the scribbler’s premise that the Koch brothers are bankrolling conservative causes and I will not logically debate the issue; therefore, I’ll attack the hack and call him names, just like a liberal.

Better?

[PJ-Comix]

Um...perhaps you better check your reading skills. The “Gladnick” you mentioned is a writer who EXPOSED the fraud the New Yorker writer JANE MAYER was perpetrating. Before hurling charges, make sure you have the CORRECT target.

[PJ-Comix]

When you reply, please make sure your first word is “OOPS!”

[sergeantdave]

Oops! I owe the writer an apology and a cup of coffee.

[PJ-Comix]

Just the coffee is fine. Thanx.
