George Soros: Putting His Mouth Where His Foot Is
Tuesday, January 13th, 2004George 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.
Howard Dean Has People Skills
Sunday, January 11th, 2004Howard Dean: “I have people skills! I am good at dealing with people! Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?”
Racism in the Dean Camp
Sunday, January 11th, 2004Racism by Democrats is so often overlooked, ignored, or shrugged off by the media, civil rights groups, and liberals. Harry Belafonte called Secretary of State Colin Powell a “house slave” and accused National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice of ignoring the concerns of black people. “There’s an old saying in the days of slavery.” Belefonte said, “There are those slaves on the plantation and there were those slaves who lived in the big house. You got the privilege of living in the house to serve the master. Colin Powell was permitted to come into the house of the master.”
Today, Fox News reports that Steven Ybarra, a DNC official and regional coordinator of Latinos for Dean has made a racist statement about Latina Republican Senate candidate Rosario Marin, calling her a “house Mexican for the Republicans” for not being true to her race.
Ybarra made this attack in a mass e-mail to “political activists, community leaders and a number of journalists this week,” according to Fox.
Rosario Marin, former mayor of Huntington Park, California, and aid to former governor Pete Wilson, is currently seeking the GOP nomination to compete against California Senator Barbara Boxer. She was also the former U.S. treasurer under President Bush. In response to this racist attack against her, she released the following statement:
Marin has called on state Democratic leaders to “condemn Ybarra’s hateful and bigoted remark.”
In the typical Dean-like backtracking fashion, Ybarra responded by saying that Marin should be “proud of being called a house Mexican” in the same way he is “proud to be the house Mexican for the Democratic Party.”
If Ybarra really believed this, he would not have sent this attack out in a mass e-mail to activists, community leaders and journalists would he? This was politically motivated hate speech intended to harm Marin’s reputation.
“She is a symbol of what Latinos can do. He is not, and for him to degrade that, it hits many of us, including a liberal Democrat like myself, into thinking, ‘Hey, I am going to, in a sense, react and even begin to be supportive of her because of these statements,’” Guerra said.
Marin also received support from 25 Republican Latino leaders. Ybarra on the other hand stands by his own bigotry:
As far as I am concerned, she is a third level bureaucrat who was given a job by Bush so she could say that he had Mexicans working for him, and she’s running for Senate so Bush can target Latino voters.
This coming from a regional coordinator of Latinos for Dean!!! Their website says “We are a completely grassroots group composed of volunteers. We are Latinos, friends of Latinos, Spanish speakers and Dean supporters who want to make a difference in our communities.” Apparently, Ybarra believes Latinos can’t genuinely be conservative, Republican, or a supporter of Bush. It seems as though strong convictions are not as important as what Ybarra feels should be blind ethnic political loyalty.
This is a bigotry that must not be tolerated. You can contact Steven Ybarra, expressing your disapproval of his racist comments and demanding a public apology.
You may also want to contact Latinos For Dean National Coordinator Lorenzo Lebrija,
and/or the Dean Campaign and request action be taken against Ybarra.
UPDATE: Tomfoolery of the Highest Order has an interesting take on Ybarra’s comments and his varied statements to media about them.
UPDATE: Le Sabot Post-Moderne also has some things to say about it.
UPDATE: The Evangelical Outpost explains why Ybarra is wrong.
UPDATE: Matthew J Stinson offers tells us what he thinks Dean should do with Ybarra.
I Went To The Wrong Schools
Saturday, January 10th, 2004The 12-year-olds charged boys $5 to watch the lunch-hour show late last year.
I wonder how much money they made… The best part of the article was when it said the girls “apparently got the idea for the kiss after watching Britney Spears and Madonna kiss during last year’s MTV awards. ”
You gotta love it.
