I think what many people don't understand, because it is so unusual, is for anyone to give money without strings, which is what Soros' Open Society Foundation does. If after the fact, the recipient organization does something that is against the principles of the open society foundation, they jerk the funding. The result is that Soros gets the blame for stuff that he himself would never approve of. He is the world's most important philanthropist, and the biggest contributor to groups opposing totalitarian movements around the world. Soros is my hero! I love this man.
