George Soros: Putting His Mouth Where His Foot Is
By Matt Margolis | January 13, 2004
George Soros was on Wolf Blitzer Reports yesterday. George Soros has donated millions of dollars to various lefty-groups (such as MoveOn.org in a futile attempt to prevent President George W. Bush from being reelected.
One part of the interview was particularly interesting. Talking about MoveOn’s contest “Bush in 30 Seconds” and the heat they’re getting for the ads comparing Bush to Hitler. MoveOn has since distanced itself from the controversial ad. George Soros on the other hand was trying to change his own record of Bush/Nazi comparing:
SOROS: But, you know, I have also been accused of comparing Bush to a Nazi. And I did not do it. I would not do it, exactly because I have lived under a Nazi regime. So I know the difference. But how come that I’m accused of that?
BLITZER: Who accused you of that?
SOROS: The Republican national commission, or whatever, and a number of newspaper articles. And I — you know, I think I really — I’m upset about being accused of that. And I’m upset that I have to defend myself against this kind of accusation.
Soros shouldn’t be too upset. His own words show he in fact has made such a comparison. Let’s just take a look at Soros’s words back in November in a Washington Post article:
“America, under Bush, is a danger to the world,” Soros said. Then he smiled: “And I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is.”
Soros believes that a “supremacist ideology” guides this White House. He hears echoes in its rhetoric of his childhood in occupied Hungary. “When I hear Bush say, ‘You’re either with us or against us,’ it reminds me of the Germans.” It conjures up memories, he said, of Nazi slogans on the walls, Der Feind Hort mit(”The enemy is listening”). “My experiences under Nazi and Soviet rule have sensitized me,” he said …
Looks like Soros is not just putting his money where his mouth is, but he’s also putting his mouth where his foot is.

Hey bud. Thanks for all your support for Vietnam War Veterans. What about Veteran Former Senator John Cleland who is supporting John Kerry for president? As I am sure you know he lost two legs and an arm in Vietnam and was shown in commercials during his 2002 reelection campaign for the US Senate by Saxby Chambliss who dodged the draft in Vietnam, with Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein? Where is the outrage there?
Sincerely,
a Kerry supporter

Is that a joke? Kerry is a war hero. A distinguished soldier. Bush on the other hand…
