Ah, the old Soros is a Nazi collaborator bs.... Do you guys never get tired of spouting that sort of mindless stupidity? Soros saved his own life and many other lifes by pretending to not be jewish at the age of 13, I guess you would just march up to the gas chamber, right?
And slamming the guy just for being jewish is really acctual antisemitism, unlike criticism of Israel.
And the small crumb he has donated to charity is in reality 8 billion dollars... Ofcourse that is just crums compared to the charity the US war machine spends on "liberating" opressed people.
Soros was thirteen years old in March 1944 when Nazi Germany occupied Hungary. Soros took a job with the Jewish Council, which had been established during the Nazi occupation of Hungary to carry out Nazi and Hungarian government anti-Jewish measures.

One of your point is that Soros is a Jew from a Hungarian family, I don't see waht that has to do with anything, but it might just be me reading a bit to much into your post.
But, calling him a Nazi collaborator borders on stupidity no matter how you choose to twist and turn.
And again I'd like to point out that the crumbs he has donated to charity is well over 8 billion dollars.
If Soros or TOSf has backed up #occupywallstreet in any way that is positive in my eyes.

Seems like. Anyone else notice a proliferation of these sorts of dummy sites popping up in the last few days? Throwing the inquisitive types off the scent, as far as I can tell. You'd think they could afford more shill-bots.edit on 3-10-2011 by mistermonculous because: flurp.
ATS lost a BIG TIME investigator into the crap that is Sorros.
That really is a big reason why there has not been the same responses.
But, it is very plain to see that Sorros has his hands in many different pots, one being the down fall of the US markets.
He has proclaimed many time himself to bringing down Govts. It is very well known, and he is not at all bothered by it.

I can't really see that you have pointed to any "negatives" on Soros possible backing of #occupywallstreet, you have pointed to some, in your opinion, negatives of Soros' way of making buisness.
I am a suporter of #occupywallstreet, so obviously financial backing of any kind of this movement is positive in my eyes.
And yet again... How exactly is giving 8 billion dollars to charity just crumbs?
Bloomberg’s revelations that a subsidiary company owned by the radical rightwing billionaire brothers, Charles and David Koch, sold millions of dollars in refinery equipment to Iran has produced widespread outrage on the blogosphere, given that Koch-backed politicians of the Tea Bagger persuasion have been among the more vociferous hawks calling for war on Iran.
Those innocent of recent history are being overly breathless about this revelation. You want a billionaire trading illegally with Iran and a happy ending? How about numerous examples?
There is Iran-Contra, in which Ronald Reagan had his underlings steal T.O.W. missiles and missile launchers from the Pentagon warehouses, sell them illegally to Iran, take the black money paid by Ayatollah Khomeini to Reagan and launder it through Swiss accounts, and send it to right wing death squads in Nicaragua trying to overthrow the left leaning Sandinista government. The Right wing beatified Reagan and named an airport after him, and nobody ever brings up Iran-Contra any more. Rupert Murdoch made Oliver North, one of the conspirators who shredded the US constitution, a millionaire by putting him on television to tell us war fairy tales.
Bill Clinton had Eric Holder do the paperwork to pardon billionaire Marc Rich, who is alleged to have done illegal oil deals with Iran on behalf of Israel as part of the Iran-Contra scandal and then was accused of declining to pay millions in taxes to the US on his profits. (I don’t know. Do you have to pay taxes on money you make from dealing with a government on the State Department’s terrorism list? I mean, the money is sort of in the subjunctive mood and isn’t supposed to exist in the first place.)
Then, Dick Cheney did business with Iran when he was CEO of Halliburton in 1995-2000. All you have to do is set up an offshore subsidiary run by non-Americans, and you can do all the business you like with Iran. Cheney liked a lot of business with the ayatollahs.
The cries of hypocrisy miss the genius of these scams run on the American public. The companies that defy the spirit of the sanctions on countries like Iran gain valuable experience working on projects there. If the same companies can successfully lobby Washington to go to war against their client, then in Phase IV they will be awarded no-bid contracts on the grounds that no other company has their experience on the ground in the now-conquered country.
Nothing will come of it. Koch-backed politicians will go on rattling sabers at Iran even while they find ways to do business with it. They will go on denying global climate change, and denying that breathing gasoline fumes is bad for you. If they do get up a war on Iran, they’ll make money on that, too. This is because, as OccupyWallStreet.org points out, the system is set up for the 1 percent, not for the 99 percent (us). Your keyboard outrage will pass, and they will go on making billions, and go on making money from the enemy, whether before or after the war.

I'm talking about Yugoslavia, not Romania. Hmmmm, but that doesn't fit your view does it. Your view of Soros being the savior of all that is good and kind is flawed.
Your unrealistic view of those who pull the strings have your points out of focus friend. May I suggest that you look further into those whom you support.
Give me proof that Soros has done good for mankind, without lining his own pockets.

What org. did he donate too?
What was the cost percentage to run the org.
As we all know, when you donate money willy nilly, do you really know where it's going? Or do you just trust what they tell you.
Soros has many layers, just like the Koch Bros.
In my opinion, I have personally see him do more harm than good.
The article is revealing
The hypocrisy of MoveOn.org seizing control of a protest movement dubbed ‘Occupy Wall Street’ is staggering. MoveOn.org “endorsed Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic Party primaries, fundraised and organized for him, and has become perhaps the lead lobby organization for his policies,” reports SourceWatch.
The organization is also strongly supported by billionaire George Soros, with Soros having donated around $5 million dollars to the group in recent years.
[color=limegreen]So we have a Soros-backed organization which has aggressively lobbied for Obama, whose 2008 campaign was bankrolled by Wall Street (almost $2 million donated by Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase), whose 2012 run is being bankrolled by Wall Street, and whose cabinet is filled with Wall Street operatives, now announcing its involvement in protests against Wall Street.
Liberals really need to wake up and smell the coffee on this one.

Man I wish Boondock Saint was still here. There was no one better at connecting the dots back to Sorros.
I see these protestors as basically a chicken with its head cut off, running around with no direction.

Every president you vote for will have Wall Street connections...but after 8 horrible Bush years, a McCain/Palin combo would have been infinitely worse than Obama. Hell, it was BUSH who removed the last financial regulations ensuring the crash would happen for sure...re-watch his housing speech and you know why!
Lesser of 2 evils...and when the vote happened, people couldn't know for sure if Obama was a sock puppet too...whereas they could be 100% convinced of it when it comes to the Palin combo
