George Soros, making the Koch brothers look like amatures

[PokerGuy]

I suspect the Koch brothers (secretly) fund political organizations more in a week than Soros does in a year.

Source? Or just typical leftie clap trap?

Righties get bent all out of shape about Soros

Funny, ironic. I bet for every 1 thread about soros left wing funding, there are at least 5 threads whining about Koch funding of various organization. It's not hard to see which side is more "bent out of shape".

Soros has an obsession with full disclosure and makes no effort to conceal what he does.

Riiiiiiiight, of course he does. Are you that naive?

I find it funny that an article that rails against the left media bias is written in one of the most biased contexts I've ever read. Might have well signed off with "this is the pot calling the kettle black". I also find it amusing that even the author, while ranting about the news source even says himself "The ProPublica stories are thoroughly researched by top-notch staffers who used to work at some of the biggest news outlets in the nation". So he admit that the articles are well researched and honest, but is upset that the topics are ones important to liberals. Sounds to me like he's mad at reality's liberal bias.

Also, while the comparison to the Koch brothers has some merits as they're both billionaires who contribute to causes that fit their political view points. There's a large difference here. Soros' money doesn't have attached to it requirements of performance that he agrees with. He doesn't donate and say "but I get final say in who you hire". The article posted on here just the other day proves that the money from the Koch brothers is money that has the condition of them specifically buying influence at FSU.

Thanks, but try again.

Saying the articles are well researched does nothing to change the fact that they are all written to support one side of the political spectrum. If a website wrote 100 well researched articles, and every single one of them was about exposing the incompetence of the obummer administration, would you consider that site "unbiased"? I think not. Well researched doesn't mean unbiased. Maybe if the articles covered topics not part of the liberal agenda it might be more balanced.

hahahahahaha, that's funny. You think if Soros funds your organization and you produce stuff he doesn't like he's going to keep funding you? Soros and the Koch brothers are exactly the same, except that Soros is on the wrong side of logic.

Um, the political right is the farthest thing from logically right this world has ever seen. There's a reason multiple studies have shown a correlation between higher education level and liberal leaning.

lol@theelitistloonyleft and their "We're smarter, we did studies to show it".

Yep, just like there's a reason for the left bent in academia: "those who can, do, those who can't, teach".

aaah, I see it didn't take long for the usual hypocrites to come out.

Funny that you choose to quote a man who was a ardent communist and eugenicist. Nice to see who you agree with.

A statement can be correct no matter the person making it. Just because I think that statement is accurate doesn't mean I agree with anything else the person said, but asking you understand that might be too much to ask given your poor reasoning skills.

Or it shows the logical mindset of the person who originated the quote as a nutcase. And that choosing to agree with the logic of the insane means you're insane too. Which, judging from your viewpoint, I think has been more than proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.

hahahaha Nice logic. So, if Osama Bin Laden said "2 + 2 = 4", by your logic you'd be insane because you chose to agree with the insane?

Perhaps, a logical person could say "yep, he's a vile terrorist, but that statement is correct and I agree with it". I know, much too logical

Yeah but it's true.

As you have so clearly have demonstrated.

OP title is the usual fail that we all expect from the author, but it got me wondering...

Are there any examples of Soros having "a relationship" with Governors like that of Koch and Walker in Wisconsin?

Has Soros used his money to acquire a position of control and authority like what just happened with the FSU Econ dept?

Whether they do it directly or through shill organizations or just by funding a set of loonies, it makes no difference, the end result is the same.

So, no proof then? Only your speculation.

 

[zinfamous]

How many phony shell corporations with ambiguous names and empty corporate goals has Soros set up to funnel his money through?

 

[First]

lol@you.

lol still true.

 

[thraashman]

You realize you're arguing with a person who thinks that agreeing with the hateful targeted ideological beliefs of a horrible individual is logically the same as admitting that a different horrible individual is capable of stating provable facts. There's no point in continuing a discussion with someone that has that deep of a mental disturbance.

Of course you do. Because the Kochs are evil and Soros is benevolent. You're as bad as those you hate.

The desire to set up false equivalency produces yet another non-answer from the usual suspects. Shocker!

Anyone else know? I see a distinct difference in both goals and conduct between Soros and the Brothers Koch, and am curious to hear more input concerning key issues like the ones I mentioned.

 

[WHAMPOM]

All the rage against the Koch brothers, and yet we hear nothing about Soros who makes them look like rank amateurs.

$27 million spent trying to defeat Bush? No big deal to the liberals I guess.

Million spent supporting 'progressive' news organizations? No media bias here.

George is free to spend his money where he wants, but the fact that so many liberals on here cry about the Koch brothers while ignoring Soros is pathetic.

BTW if you don't like the fact that this is from Foxnews then click the link and follow all the links in the articles that point to outside sources.

Amateurs Poofjohn, AMATEURS! FOR! GOD's! SAKE! Though I would take a misspelling of amatures for "armatures" (furiously spinning shafts)=(koch brothers) as a tongue in cheek but accurate mistake.

Maybe you should try to show him why he's wrong, instead of telling him what he believes and then disparaging him for it...

Or is the troll routine as far as you go?
