George Soros Donates $1 Million To Media Matters To Combat Fox News

video
» 161 comments

Well this is one way to respond to Glenn Beck. The New York Times just broke the story that very rich person George Soros is donating $1million to Media Matters “in an effort to more widely publicize the challenge Fox News poses to civil and informed discourse in our democracy.” Also because “recent evidence suggesting that the incendiary rhetoric of Fox News hosts may incite violence.” Recent evidence is presumably Media Matters recent campaign to prove that Glenn Beck is responsible for Byron Williams plan to attack workers at the American Civil Liberties Union and the Tides Foundation.

Here is the statement from George Soros:

Despite repeated assertions to the contrary by various Fox News commentators, I have not to date been a funder of Media Matters. However, in view of recent evidence suggesting that the incendiary rhetoric of Fox News hosts may incite violence, I have now decided to support the organization. Media Matters is one of the few groups that attempts to hold Fox News accountable for the false and misleading information they so often broadcast. I am supporting Media Matters in an effort to more widely publicize the challenge Fox News poses to civil and informed discourse in our democracy.

As the NYT (and frequently, Glenn Beck) points out Soros has long been rumored to be the money behind Media Matter even though officials there “regularly denied that they had ever taken money from Mr. Soros” something Soros again denies in his statement. However, Politico notes that Media Matters “has received funding from or formed partnerships with several groups that Soros funds. These include the Tides Foundation, Democracy Alliance, Moveon.org and the Center for American Progress.”

Judging from the tone of Soros’ statement and the fact that $1million does not go as far as it used to (nor will it presumably put much of a dent in Soros’ bank account) one imagines this is more of a symbolic gesture than anything else. A sample of what Soros is ‘challenging’ below. Also the statement from Media Matters founder David Brock.

Statement from Media Matters founder David Brock:

From the moment in early 2009 that Roger Ailes enlisted Glenn Beck to the Fox News Channel’s new agenda — a battle to overturn the 2008 election results that Ailes likened to the “The Alamo” — Fox has transformed itself into a 24-7 GOP attack machine, dividing Americans through fear-mongering and falsehoods and undermining the legitimacy of our government for partisan political ends. Worse still, in recent months, Fox has allowed Glenn Beck’s show to become a out-of-control vehicle for the potential incitement of domestic terrorism. No American should be quiet about these developments — the degradation of our media and the reckless endangerment of innocent lives. George Soros, a philanthropist of the highest integrity, unfortunately knows first-hand what it’s like to be grotesquely caricatured and flatly lied about on Fox. Media Matters is grateful that he has decided to lend his voice and support our goal of greater journalistic accuracy and accountability. We are especially pleased that in this moment of hidden right-wing billionaire money corrupting our democracy, Mr. Soros, upon deciding to support our efforts, quickly and transparently has made that support public.

    All those rich people are evil.

  • whytee

    George Soros, the perpetual boogeyman, is spending money on issues that go directly against his own financial best interest. Can you say that about Murdoch or the Koch brothers or any of the cadre of billionaires funding the right? No. Those billionaires are making a direct investment in their own future accumulation of more and more wealth. Soros, who unfortunately stands alone, is investing his money in what he– as a Hungarian refugee who became a US citizen in the ’60s–wants the US to avoid the horrors that he witnessed with the rise of fascism (i.e. the merging of corporations and the state) in Europe.

  • The Real Royal King

    A generous gift, a noble purpose. Greatly appreciated, Mr. Soros.

    and Glenn is going to lose, sponsors are everything in his world and Roger Ailes knows this.

    But wait! Soros is rich. Isn’t he evil? If he’d given the money to Fox, it would have been evil.

    Being rich isn’t a crime. It’s using your riches to oppress those who are not as rich and engineer ways of becoming richer by sacrificing the health and well-being of your community, country and world that’s the problem. As I mentioned above, Soros isn’t using his riches to enrich himself at a high cost to others like the Koch brothers, Murdoch etc.

    I don’t think Ailes cares about the sponsors. Fox operated at a loss for years. It’s his long-term usefulness to global mega monopolies that matter. I don’t think any kind of ad boycott hurts Beck or Fox in the long run.

    In July 2008, it was announced that New York State Theater in Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts would be renamed the David H. Koch Theater after he pledged $100 million over 10 years to renovate the theater.[6]

    David Koch, in 2006, made a $20 million gift to the American Museum of Natural History, creating the David H. Koch Dinosaur Wing.

    He made a contribution of $15 million to the National Museum of Natural History in 2009 to create the new David H. Koch Hall of Human Origins, which opened March 2010.

    He financed the construction of Deerfield Academy’s $35 million state-of-the-art Koch Center for mathematics, science and technology.

    Koch also sits on the Board of Directors of the Prostate Cancer Foundation and is the eponym of the David H. Koch Chair of the Prostate Cancer foundation.

    He contributed $100 million in 2007, to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to help fund the construction of a new 350,000 square foot building to be home of the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research.

    Koch may be egotistical in wanting things named after him, but he still gives the money.

    This is too funny and so hypocritical. When republicans/conservatives receive money from rich donators, liberals wail and moan about democracy is being bought. However, when Soros (who is a huge contributor to numerous liberal causes) gives money to a liberal partisan organization, there’s no hew and cry because afterall, he’s doing it for the greater good of the society. Bwahaaaaaaahaaaaaa.

    Glynnis, you’re so biased that when I read an article, I don’t even have to look for the author’s name, I just know it’s you. Don’t you think you should have gotten a comment from Fox on this story or at least let us know you tried to contact Fox News. I find it hard to take anything you write seriously.

    None of this is political. I’m sure Soros has philanthropy up the yin yang as well. Philanthropy is beautiful, no matter who is committing it. But what Koch is doing with his money in the political arena is not about philanthropy; it’s about business. Fewer regulations (meaning more pollution for you and me to absorb the costs for, rather than him), protecting low corporate tax rates and offshore tax shelters, protecting low capital gains taxes and fighting against the inheritance tax, which really only affects billionaires like him in substantive ways.

    What Soros spends his money on politically does exactly the OPPOSITE. He’s supporting an ideology that wants to raise his taxes, that wants to make it harder for him to use legal loopholes to offload his externalities on the people, and to make it harder for him to hide his money in offshore tax shelters. He’s advocating AGAINST his own financial best interest.

    Do you see the distinction?

    Soros has long been a US citizen, unlike the Chinese contributors to the Rove/Gillespie/C of C slush fund, and he has no pecuniary interest to advance, unlike the Koch brothers. Let’s make sure we are comparing things of the same sort.

    My guess is that Mediaite is getting some of that money, since they seem solely focused on:

    A) Promoting MSNBC and some CNN programs
    B) Attacking Fox, Republicans, conservatives and all critics of Democrats.

    Wait wait wait. Fox News is the ONLY network to give money directly to a political party, and now it’s given one and a quarter million to the GOP Governors association. So, that’s a different thing.

    But as far as billionaires, it’s amazing to me that there are dozens if not hundreds of billionaires funding various right wing/big business pursuits but there’s only ONE on the left and he’s totally the right’s all-purpose boogeyman. Literally, this is the one name the right always evokes to counter all of the billions being spent by big business to boost right wing causes and candidates that benefit them financially.

    Well at least Byron Williams thinks beck is

    I know that this is hard for you to understand, but just because Beck says something doesn’t make it true. Odds are pretty good that if Beck says something, it’s probably not true.

    Soros is not “evil.” Like Beck’s boss and the Koch brothers, Soros funds organizations that he supports. That doesn’t make him evil or spooky. Beck’s boss, on the other hand, supports Communists. That’s pretty spooky and if not evil, certainly not all-American.

    Secretly, Glynnis loves Beck. She just doesn’t really like an opposing voice to hehimselftheone getting so much attention.

    Both shoes are absurd. Not sure if you were trying to prove (again) that you’re not very bright, NORBIT, but people don’t “buy” principles.

    What Soros is buying is more exposure of the liars. The liberal media watchdogs scrutinize conservative media and find lie after lie after lie. The conservative media watchdogs scrutinize MSM and find bias.

    http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/09/bias-vs-truthiness-analyzing-media.html

    Want to know why Fox gets away with so many lies? Two reasons: 1) their audience is ignorant of the facts. 2) their audience wants to believe what the liars tell them. No doubts, no skepticism, no fact-checking.

    This won’t happen, but here’s two ideas: 1) people should watch one Fox show and one MSNBC show at least 1/wk to get their own balance. 2) people who watch MSM should subscribe to MRC (conservative media watchdogs) and people who watch Fox should subscribe to Media Matters for America (liberal media watchdogs). That way you’d get a bigger and better (more accurate) picture of reality.

    WAPO and AP have both changed their stories about what Christine O’Donnel said. Law professors are speaking out criticizing the stupidity of the media and even of the law school students who laughed at her. Rachel was wrong, mediaite was wrong, CNN was wrong, Shep was wrong….O’Donnel was right.

    Will mediaite “man up” and report a factual story about how the media is attempting to back track, how the law students should hand their head in shame, how the left wing lamestream media is STUPID?

    I doubt it.

    But those of us who know, know….those of us who don’t dont. Mediaite sits on the don’t side, until they headline that Christine was RIGHT, and Paling was RIGHT (re: 1883) and Ifil was an IDIOT.

    WAPO and AP have both changed their stories about what Christine O’Donnel said.

Rachel was wrong, mediaite was wrong, CNN was wrong, Shep was wrong….O’Donnel was right.

    Will mediaite “man up” and report a factual story about how the media is attempting to back track, how the law students should hand their head in shame, how the left wing lamestream media is STUPID?

    I doubt it.

    So when Soros donates to combat Fox, that’s not political.

    It is political. I’m not saying he doesn’t make political donations. I must not be making this clear somehow, but my point is that Soros is not throwing his money at politicians and political organizations that will bring him profits; he’s making donations to politicians and organizations with ideological aims that will ultimately HURT him financially. Do you see the difference? If I paid money to a politician because I knew he’d let me dump toxic waste in the nearby creek, I’d be like the Koch brothers et al. If I could make money dumping toxic waste in the nearby creek but gave money to an organization dedicated to stopping toxic waste dumping, I’d be like Soros.

  • libssuck

    you are all douchebags.. why is Fox to blame for everything? Beck has an opinion show, if you don’t like his opinion don’t watch but trying to silence him and deny him his first ammendment rights then shame on you. Beck generally offers no more than his take on the underground groups that supprt liberal causes, he always says do your own research don’t take his word for it but the Libs don’t hear him say that. He is now really talking up home schooling which I disagree with but I don’t think he should be denied to give his opinion. So other than Beck, Hannity, and O’Rielly which make up 3 of 24 hours of broadcasting each day who is so far right on Fox?? Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum?? Screw Liberals, screw George Soros and screw the horses they rode in on. Obama and his minions are trying to ruin this country and turn it into Europe and most of you are so stupid you don;t even realize it.

I see it on the left, but not quite as uniformly as on the right, which votes as a block since Obama took office, usually against legislation that would benefit the people, like ending tax giveaways to corporations that send their jobs overseas, which the GOP filibustered to a man.

    House and Senate Democrats have received approximately $1.02 million this cycle from such PACs, according to an analysis compiled for The Hill by the Center for Responsive Politics. House and Senate GOP leaders have taken almost $510,000 from PACs on the same list.

    To your first point, those sums are no where near the huge checks the Chamber and Karl Rove’s group are raking in. I’m sure the Dems would be much happier not to raise that money if it meant closing the floodgates on shadowy corporate money going into 501(c)6 groups.

    The Dems are being outspent in nearly every race thanks to this HUGE infusion of corporate cash.

    And regardless of how the Dems feel about it, foreign corporations funding US candidates and political groups is a federal crime, so if the appropriate federal agencies do their job and investigate, if there is wrongdoing, you will have supported something egregiously toxic to democracy and anathema since the founding of the country.

    Soros is a an old fool, and there’s nothing more pathetic than an old fool. He is also liar. He was involved in the founding of Media Matters, if not from money directly from him than forwarded from one of the many fronts he uses to distribute money. And note that all this comes after he stated he was giving up on donating for this election cycle. Double liar.

    You’re either against foreign manipulation of our elections or your not. I think anyone with a brain would be happy if a law enforcement agency investigated it.

Think Progress already published a long list of companies paying into the same 501(c)6 the Chamber uses to fund its attack ads, many of which specialize in outsourcing. http://thinkprogress.org/2010/10/13/chamber-foreign-funded-media/

    The Chamber has already come out in favor of off-shoring jobs, and lobbied to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars to make sure the bill ending tax giveaways to corporations that ship jobs overseas (while also rewarding corporations that moved the jobs back to the US) wouldn’t get any traction in Congress. And they succeeded. The bill was filibustered by the GOP voting as a block, with the help of a couple of ConservaDems.

    Ernst Soros Blofeld, the self-admitted Nazi collaborator, is scared. He’s dismayed that someone who has less money than he has so much influence. How could this be?? After all, he’s spent all that money!

    Soros is a an old fool, and there’s nothing more pathetic than an old fool. He is also liar. He was involved in the founding of Media Matters, if not from money directly from him than forwarded from one of the many fronts he uses to distribute money. And note that all this comes after he stated he was giving up on donating for this election cycle. Double liar.

    Watch your very own Neil Cavutto try and “frame” lies to Mr. Soros and watch Mr. Soros beat him with a stick:

    That’s cool. For years, the left has tried to shut down Limbaugh and other conservative talk radio hosts, have tried to demonize them and isolate them as fringe extremists. It didn’t work. For years, the left has tried to marginalize Fox, they just grab more of the market.

    I think it’s great that Soros wants to further the notion that he’s a fringe left activist. When whacked out, fringe liberals feel the need to “combat” Fox News, just about everyone can see it for what it is, and it just illustrates the state of panic by the lefties right now.

    There is no panic – globally Fox is being coming the joke that educated America has always known. Now to continue proving their propaganda ways and discrediting them into nothing more than what they are – a Propaganda Voice for the Corporate Citizen it represents. It’s a beautiful thing. No one believes Fox but those that work for their interests – like you!

It’s totally bizarre that his followers think that he’s looking out for their interests when he’s so clearly tied up with the fat cats of business.

    Rupert Murdoch and George Soros are both naturalized American citizens. However, Soros clearly hates this country, its heritage and history, and is determined to subvert its institutions. I am certain that Soros hates Murdoch with a passion, because even with all the hundreds of millions Soros has spent, Murdoch prevents him from achieving total victory. No wonder Soros gives even more to Media Matters, it is the anti-FOX. And now Soros buys National Public Radio for $1 million, which to him is like $1.00.

He is now really talking up home schooling which I disagree with but I don’t think he should be denied to give his opinion. So other than Beck, Hannity, and O’Rielly which make up 3 of 24 hours of broadcasting each day who is so far right on Fox?? Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum??

    “recent evidence suggesting that the incendiary rhetoric of Fox News hosts may incite violence.”

    WHAT EVIDENCE YOU LYING LUNATIC LIBTARD?

    Are you a shut in? How about the Death of Dr. Tiller vis-a-vis the hate mongering of Bill O’Reilly?

    How about the Beck hate mongering towards the Tides Foundation:

    Convicted felon Byron Williams loaded up his mother’s Toyota Tundra with guns, strapped on his body armor and headed to San Francisco late Saturday night with one thing in mind: to kill workers at the American Civil Liberties Union and an environmental foundation, prosecutors say.

    Williams, an anti-government zealot on parole for bank robbery, had hoped to “start a revolution” with the bloodshed at the ACLU and the Tides Foundation in San Francisco, authorities said.

    But before he made it to the city, Williams was stopped at early Sunday by California Highway Patrol officers for speeding and driving erratically on westbound Interstate 580 west of Grand Avenue in Oakland.

    Police say he then initiated a chaotic, 12-minute gunbattle with officers, firing a 9mm handgun, a .308-caliber rifle and a shotgun. He reloaded his weapons when he ran out of ammunition and stopped only after officers shot him in areas of his body not covered by his bullet-resistant vest, authorities said.

    On Tuesday, Williams, 45, of Groveland (Tuolumne County) appeared in an Oakland courtroom on charges that he tried to murder four CHP officers. Authorities described him as a heavily armed man determined not to return to prison. Bullets from the suspect’s rifle could penetrate ballistic body armor and vehicles, police said.

    ‘Start a revolution’
    After he was wounded and taken to Highland Hospital in Oakland, Williams told investigators “his intention was to start a revolution by traveling to San Francisco and killing people of importance at the Tides Foundation and the ACLU,” Oakland police Sgt. Michael Weisenberg wrote in a court affidavit.

    The foundation has funded environmental and social justice projects since 1976 and also provides philanthropic advice, according to its website. The ACLU of Northern California is based in San Francisco.

    “Obviously, we’re dismayed that this has happened, and we’re not really going to speculate about the investigation while it’s ongoing,” said Tod Hill, a Tides spokesman. “We’re taking appropriate safety measures.”

    ACLU officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

    Sheriff’s deputies brought Williams into Alameda County Superior Court in Oakland in a wheelchair Tuesday. His right hand was bandaged. He showed no emotion and kept his head down as he read his copy of the criminal complaint. Asked by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers if he wanted to be represented by the public defender, Williams said yes.

    Litany of charges
    The complaint accuses Williams of trying to kill CHP officers Vincent Herrick, Richard Coward, Ty Franklin and Todd Owen. In addition to the four charges of attempted murder of a peace officer, Williams was also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and possessing ammunition. He also faces enhancements for firing a gun and wearing body armor.

    The unemployed carpenter has two strikes – one for a 2001 bank robbery in Madera County and the other for a 1995 bank robbery in Washington state. That means he faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted of a third strike in connection with the shootout. He is being held without bail.

    The FBI joined Oakland police in investigating the incident because a notebook, titled “California,” was found in Williams’ car and removed by a bomb squad robot, investigators said. Authorities did not reveal its contents.

    What Soros is buying is more exposure of the liars. The liberal media watchdogs scrutinize conservative media and find lie after lie after lie. The conservative media watchdogs scrutinize MSM and find bias.

    http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/09/bias-vs-truthiness-analyzing-media.html

    Want to know why Fox gets away with so many lies? Two reasons: 1) their audience is ignorant of the facts. 2) their audience wants to believe what the liars tell them. No doubts, no skepticism, no fact-checking.

    This won’t happen, but here’s two ideas: 1) people should watch one Fox show and one MSNBC show at least 1/wk to get their own balance. 2) people who watch MSM should subscribe to MRC (conservative media watchdogs) and people who watch Fox should subscribe to Media Matters for America (liberal media watchdogs). That way you’d get a bigger and better (more accurate) picture of reality.

    You are of course right – and as if you needed any further verification the Republican’ts thumbs down says it all – they are complicit in their ignorance. Thank God for Science, history and facts – with the GOP the world would still be flat.

It has nothing to do with “real” audience or advertisers – though smart advertisers are learning they’ve aligned themselves with a decided fascist outlet in FNC as a propaganda network of hate and fear – and are now being addressed by a “not so dumb” 308 million Americans that DON’T watch the hate and fear network. Still, with health care kick backs, smear campaigns and lies to support the GOPs illegal activities – the “money” coming in at Fox has nothing to do with the propaganda – that is priceless.

    David Koch, in 2006, made a $20 million gift to the American Museum of Natural History, creating the David H. Koch Dinosaur Wing.

    He made a contribution of $15 million to the National Museum of Natural History in 2009 to create the new David H. Koch Hall of Human Origins, which opened March 2010.

    He financed the construction of Deerfield Academy’s $35 million state-of-the-art Koch Center for mathematics, science and technology.

    Koch also sits on the Board of Directors of the Prostate Cancer Foundation and is the eponym of the David H. Koch Chair of the Prostate Cancer foundation.

    He contributed $100 million in 2007, to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to help fund the construction of a new 350,000 square foot building to be home of the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research.

    Koch may be egotistical in wanting things named after him, but he still gives the money.

    And it would be great if he weren’t making it back via war profiteering in Iraq. Blood money. Buying “scientists” to discredit global warming and other Koch Industries issues of support.

    I’m glad that Soros admits that there is only one Conservative media outlet.

    One propaganda outlet – Fox Newz.

    Czars of distortion and propaganda that would bring a tear to Joseph Goebbels eye – thanks for remembering him Republicans! You honor him with your efforts.

    Glenn Beck is part of Republicorp!!!

    Come on, lefties. Koch also gives money to very good causes. What gets to you is that if a left winger makes a contribution to anything political, it’s a good thing. If a right winger makes a right wing donation, it’s bad.

    No, but trying to compare apples and oranges to make a non-sequiter political point is. Dope.

    Mr. Soros was 15 when the war ended (actually 14) – what is it with you Nuzi’s on the right that have him hanging out with your idols in Hitler’s Germany?

    I checked that out. I think it fits perfectly with the post I’m writing this evening about Beck’s ties to the Koch brothers. It’s totally bizarre that his followers think that he’s looking out for their interests when he’s so clearly tied up with the fat cats of business. Beck is not just a false prophet; he’s also a false populist.

    And a liar, a hypocrite and a charlatan.

    It’s incredible – but I have to think that alot of the post’ers here are “incomeathome.com” marketers for the GOP whom have been doing this for a while now (they own AOL boards) – you can pretty much tell who get’s there information from where by their “Fox” speak (Ailes/Luntz) whether it be Beck (Distorted Memories of History to fit the Republican Narrative of hate and fear to garner votes from those even LESS educated than himself), Hannity, constant attacks on America’s middle and lower class as lazy opportunists looking for handouts, to Limbaugh’s hate and fear mongering and recruiting of what used to be the KKK, to O’Reilly’s attempt to try and be the “Cronkite” of Propaganda for the nursing homes across America – softening the rhetoric farmed out by the extremists. I refuse to let ignorance be a reason America goes down – my conservative friends are starting to see the dangers of a Palidino, Palin, O’Donnell, Angle, Gingrich world. Not very pretty! Good luck!

    We’re fighting Republicorp for sure and the Becks/Limbaughs/Palins are getting paid a hefty price selling out America, let’s not let them win!!

    Ernst Soros Blofeld, the self-admitted Nazi collaborator, is scared. He’s dismayed that someone who has less money than he has so much influence. How could this be?? After all, he’s spent all that money!

    Soros is a an old fool, and there’s nothing more pathetic than an old fool. He is also liar. He was involved in the founding of Media Matters, if not from money directly from him than forwarded from one of the many fronts he uses to distribute money. And note that all this comes after he stated he was giving up on donating for this election cycle. Double liar.

    Born in 1930, your either a complete hate and fear mongering moron who hates America with these type of false Koch Brothers attacks (Teabagers) or from the nether regions of Glennbeckistan. What evidence of collaborating do you have for the 14 year old Soros? I on the other hand can show you photos of Republican and Hitler admirer Prescott Bush (George Bush Sr.’s Father):

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/sep/25/usa.secondworldwar

    Prescott Bush had a bit of trouble back in the 1940s. While American soldiers were fighting the Nazis in WWII, a few of the companies Prescott managed were seized under the Trading with the Enemy Act because they were fronts for Nazi Industrialist Fritz Thyssen, a financier of Hitler’s Third Reich.

    On September 11, 2001, George Bush, Sr. worked for The Carlyle Group. They invest in defense companies, medical laboratories, and the telecommunications industry. The Carlyle Group is one of the government’s biggest contractors. George Bush, Sr. and The Carlyle Group stand to make billions of dollars from the War on Terror. On September 11, The Carlyle Group was having a conference at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Washington, DC with members of the Bin Laden family, some of their investors.

    Here’s GW when he was in the National Guard, which he joined to get out of going to Vietnam. He was a pilot in Texas until his flight status was revoked for refusing to take medical exams. For at least eight months, he didn’t even show up for duty. Click here for full details

    Uncle Prescott Bush, Jr. This is GW’s Uncle Prescott, Jr. During the embargo on China, his company was the only US firm allowed to do business there, exporting communications satellites.
    He recently retired as the Chairman of the USA-China Chamber of Commerce, which might be one reason China isn’t part of the Axis of Evil. (more on China) etc., etc. Why are republicans supporting Nuzis?

    The operative term was “recent.”

    Every now and then there are kooks who go on rampages. They are both leftists and rightists. They are almost always the exception to ever rule. Take for instance the liberal who flew his airplane into the IRS building in Texas.

    Hey James, I ended up using that chart with permission. It worked perfectly with the new revelation that Glenn Beck is part of the conspiracy to have the rich folks, the uber-wealthy, buy this election.

    http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/10/becks-fake-populism-exposed-he-sides.html

    Make sure, people, that all undecided and independent voters become aware of this far right conspiracy to buy our government.

    James Gregory Backus says: “What evidence of collaborating do you have for the 14 year old Soros?”

    Actually, he admitted as much. His father told him that the Nazi would take care of him, and he did. How many 14 y/o kids would speak up against their father’s wishes?

    George Soros is a psychopath and you probably work for him. No one else is defending this “bent on destroying America” trash.
