To those freepers that hate Soros and other progressives.

[alittlelark]

I actually do feel sorry for you. I have a few family members that would (sadly) agree w/you.

The Really sad thing is that they are 90% against the Koch/Corporatist agenda.... but they have been hoodwinked by $$$ grubbing ministers they love... they Love.... They LOVE.... those ministers are LOVED - especially by the Koch brothers.

Soros has not polluted, he escaped Nazi Germany, He recognizes FASCISM. He donates about 1/10 of what the parasitic Koch brothers do.

The Koch brothers are a poison.... Adam Smith would repudiate them.

1. meanwhile all the Koch family money

came from their daddy helping build gulags and power "re-education camps" for Stalin

[Hannah Bell]

10. no, all the koch family money didn't.

[Hannah Bell]

14. i think people are a little over-obsessed with the kochs. they're not the only player

in this game by a long shot.

gates, walton, various hedge funds, and a multitude of other corporations/foundations are doing exactly the same thing as the kochs.

31. I think this Koch obsession is silly. All of a sudden THEY'RE the bogeyman?

No one had heard of them a few months ago. Now they're destroying the country!

21. the truth really scares you...

[Hannah Bell]

27. no, the truth doesn't "scare" me, but it evidentally scares you.

bill gates has spent a lot more money than the kochs underming unionization in education.

the only reason he's not considered "scary" is that he's one of obama's funders.

the kochs aren't obama funders; therefore their identical attacks on workers are painted as ultra-heinous by dlc types.

in fact, both gates & the kochs are funding neo-liberal attacks on the working class -- on wages, on benefits, on job security, on pensions.

[Boswell]

22. and yes daddy Koch made his fortune

by working with Stalin no matter how many times you deny it, truth has a liberal bias

[Hannah Bell]

28. i didn't say they didn't work with stalin -- similar to many oil interests, including

the rockefellers.

i said they didn't make their fortune building concentration camps.

you wouldn't know liberal bias if it tackled you.

[RZM]

26. Not exactly

From what I know, the elder Koch was there developing the oil industry. That's the kind of thing the Soviets wanted Westerners for - tasks that required cutting edge technology and expertise. Western experts weren't needed for constructing the camp system.

[GOPGoindown]

2. Links?

Can anyone provide me some solid links on how much the Koch Bros vs. Soros spent on the last election? Or the dozens like the Kochs vs. Soros? Or the dozens like the Kochs vs. Unions?

[Hannah Bell]

3. soros, whatever his personal history, is a capitalist first & foremost, not a progressive.

he made his millions by currency speculation. he's a hedge fund operator & speculator. these activities are not "progressive". they're the same nature of activity that crashed the world economy & just as destructive.

there isn't much difference between soros & the kochs. they're both fantastically wealthy people who use their money to get their way.

[Canuckistanian]

4. Ì just want all that money he owes me

People are saying that Soros PAID all of us Liberals to say what we do.

Now, it's payback time.

[EC]

5. Soros' is a capitalist for democracy though.

He was the one that financed the Solidarity movement in Poland with Walesa. All over the world if he sees a chance to help he does.


Where as Koch's money goes to create the fascist form of government.

[Hannah Bell]

6. solidarity? i think you'd better look into it more. solidarity was not what it was alleged to be.

soros is not for "democracy". soros is anti-communist. not the same thing.

billionaires manipulating politics isn't democracy.

[emilyg]

8. Read up on Soros.

[Hannah Bell]

9. oops, wrong place.

[Boswell]

24. did you lose control of one of your alts?

[Hannah Bell]

29. no, i thought the poster was responding to my comment. but he wasn't

so i erased my comment.

unlike yourself, i don't have "alts".

[rhett o rick]

12. His money is tainted. nm

[emilyg]

7. Absolutely right.

[rhett o rick]

11. Well put Hannah. nm
