The Billionaire Matchmakers

What about the "blacks"? Should be some way to work them into your model of Good vs. Evil.

first of all that is a dickish comment. I expect better from you.

I have told some of the guys on this board to quite with the anti black comments at times. the only thing I thing you could correctly pin on me is being harsh on muslims who preach violence in mosques, being anti gay marriage but fine with gay rights otherwise, and being anti establishment, leftists and commies who are trying to ruin the U.S. and turn it over to the cronies.

but..

sometimes you have to see evil and point it out.
Soros is a despicable human being.

During an interview with “60 Minutes” reporter Steve Kroft, Soros was asked about his “happiest year”:

KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.

SOROS: Yes. Yes.

KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from your fellow Jews, friends and neighbors.

SOROS: Yes. That’s right. Yes.

KROFT: I mean, that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many, years. Was it difficult?

SOROS: No, not at all. Not at all, I rather enjoyed it.

KROFT: No feelings of guilt?

SOROS: No, only feelings of absolute power.

You're right, I have the wrong guy on that, apologies.

Your hit pieces are so full of crap. Interestingly, the Right Wing sources all somehow manage to miss the context of his comments, add a few identical fabrications and leave out exactly the same amount of explanatory information so that the information is accurately presented. These worthless web sites you frequent just quote one another in a circle jerk with no link to the original source. The literary equivalent of photoshop. Let me know when you find the actual source. Until then:

So now the so-inclined very rich can own democracy, too. As one of the characters in Scott Turow's recent novel, Identical, said "If rich people could spend without limit trying to decide elections, we were basically back to where we started, where the only voters were white men with property."

Not sure that's true, particularly with the Internet. There are also plenty of wealthy women and non-whites.

I think the point is that a select few have outsized influence on the democratic process. Which is a step backward.

I don't agree with that assessment on Cramer at all. Cramer has made a living off the pretense that his calls are pure gold, and he's been outed (not just by Stewart) as a fraud and an entertainer instead of the guru he paints himself as. I thought that interview and show was quite refreshing.

So you think it was just a coincidence that right after Cramer dared criticize King Obama, he was summoned for ritual humiliation? Didn't it occur to you that Stewart's show was kind of an odd place to interview Cramer? And why wait 8 years after Cramer made a fool of himself touting bubble stocks as the market crashed?

first of all that was from 60 minutes... if you wish to put in context go for it.
your large right wing conspiracy crap is not going to fly.

if you want want to argue soros is a good guy... explain how this guy escaped large centralized govt.... but now advocates for a international control of govt.

In short Soros is the banker cronies trader spokesmodel.

I think the point is that a select few have outsized influence on the democratic process. Which is a step backward.

I agree that it has reached the point where unlimited money is having an adverse impact on democracy. When a billion dollars is considered just a data point in a national office campaign - something is out of kilter. Soon a billion bucks will be a political funding rounding error.

This all goes towards demonstrating that Citizens United is one of the most detrimental court decisions in our nations recent history.

True, but consider to what Soros has devoted much of his philanthropic giving: Open Society

Glittering generalities like Open Society == LOL

Soro's money is used to trash republicans pretty muchly. Fake authorities are hired, history is rewritten, politicians are TRASHED INCESSANTLY by Soros money, that's pretty much what the left does.
