[Rowdyboy]

A new liberal group with major backing from leftist billionaire George Soros has declared its intention to raise $75 million to defeat President Bush and other conservatives next year...

1. More

<snip>

The group reports that it has $30 million so far in contributions or commitments, the biggest chunk from Soros. It reported receiving $8 million from labor groups and more from wealthy individuals including Peter Lewis, founder of Progressive Insurance; Anne Bartley, former president of the Rockefeller Family Fund; Patricia Bauman of the Bauman Family Foundation; and Rob McKay, head of the McKay Family Foundation.

Thank you Mr. Soros and friends, keep the cash coming. If any of the people listed here are reading this, there are several liberal/progressive websites who would greatly appreciate your support.

2. One potent thesis here, folks

> In the June 2003 American Prospect, Soros implied that the approach taken to the war on terrorism by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft and President Bush makes them "extremists." "The ultimate truth is beyond human reach...," said Soros. "Bush makes absolutely no allowance for the possibility that we may be wrong, and he has no tolerance for dissenting opinion. If you are not with us you are against us, he proclaims. Donald Rumsfeld berates our European allies who disagree with him on Iraq in no uncertain terms, and he has a visceral aversion to international cooperation, be it with NATO or UN peacekeepers in Afghanistan. And John Ashcroft accuses those who opposed the USA Patriot Act of giving aid and comfort to the enemy. These are the views of extremists, not adherents to an open society."

===============

So it is going to be about voter registration. There are other groups (ACLU?) promoting the voter registration theme also.

3. Great

I hope this is true - there have to be some liberals with
money who care about this country, just don't know where
they've been. This is really good news - thanks for the
post.

5. Gee, I wonder...

6. Soros realizes that U.S. economy is teetering on the brink and if it falls

off it takes everybody else with it. Well maybe not China, which is looking pretty unstoppable economically.

7. Too realize that the system is broken all you have to do is look

at the debt/ earnings ratio of the average citizen.

8. WRONG

We are a cliente state of China. They need our dollars. We are the greatest consumers of their cheap crap. Just wait until they start making cars and airplanes, folks. Trust me... they will.

14. Calling It "Human Events" Is So GOP Hypocrisy

UnHuman is more like it

[Minstrel Boy]

11. "leftist billionaire"?

That's a bit, well, rich. Soros is, in the best, old sense of the word, a conservative. He recognizes Bush as the radical he is.

[htuttle]

12. You're right, of course

But I sure as hell like the sound of that phrase: "leftist billionaire"...

18. please, no right wing narratives. soros is not a leftist

every time i hear him called one i cringe and worry that the narrative the right wing has used to smear this guy has stuck in the pubic consciousness.

let's just call him a "patriotic" billionaire..hehe.

19. Still..An enemy of my enemy is my

friend.

[MissMarple]

20. Not necessarily,

It might depend on how bad your enemy is and if you can live with his enemy's evils.

[kodi]

21. beannie that's not the point. using GOP imagry is

the more progressives use right wing imagry, the more we play into their hands by fighting them on a field of their choosing.

we have done this for decades now and have arrived at a point where they have set the agenda. we, not our enemies must choose the time and place for our battles.
