Why is it that there is one of these in every contested location where a liberal has any chance to win?

Inquiring minds want to know…. 😛

}}} Sometimes I think Soros is a Russian spy. Everything he does is harmful to the USA and would be perfectly in accord with what Russia would do in seeking to destabilize the USA.

Nahhhh. He just hates America. He’s in the Obama Camp of Elitist Eurotrash One World Government f***s, and history is thwarting his cadre in their efforts to finalize the process. Remember, Obama was fed America hatred in his mother’s milk. I suspect Soros is more the J.R. Ewing type of evil, though.

IMHO I don’t think it’s a big deal that Soros did not embrace his Jewish heritage. Many Jewish (and Catholic, Protestant, etc) folks are not religious and do not embrace their religious heritage.

What is of significance is that Soros engaged in activities that were particularly harmful to Jewish people. Kinda/sorta like he was expressing self hate by choosing targets that would help him assuage the hatred he had/has for his own Jewish heritage.

Some would call this a “self hating Jews;” a term, ironically, that more often than not is stated by Jewish people who are criticizing other Jewish people.

I want them to live in a suffering hellscape of rape, drugs, mutilation and murder.

Nothing is too bad for Portland in my opinion

I realize that ward bosses often hold back folders of ballots from boxes in purely favorable districts – it’s the part about enhancing those boxes that worries me.

at one point in the 70s and 80s his heart seem to be in the right place, working to undermine the Eastern Bloc’s system of control, some commentators, suggest the reaction to his breaking the pound, triggered this metamorphosis into a bond villain,

he thought he could buy many institutions that could challenge him, his subsequent actions in South East Asia, where he expanded the economic crisis

are also of note, but I think that was always in him, he thought he was smarter than anyone and the rules didn’t apply, in that way he resembles the latest incarnation of Le Chiffre in the Daniel Craig years, one might say the Open Society became more of a Clockwork Orange Society, trying to rearrange civilization,

Yes, and in addition – if memory serves me – Soros only was involved in that very limited “collaborative” activity, as a young teenager, on one or two occasions.

What he’s done as an adult is the problem, a big one.

Soros was a Budapester who grew up in an anti-Jewish family of Jewish ancestry, and basically his family conspired to set him up as the “good Christian” son of a war profiteer, black marketeer, and rather venal collaborator who did things like auction off stolen property and host parties for Major SS and Arrow Cross members during the siege. Soros himself apparently served as a minor errand boy doing things like sending out notices of confiscation and handling the stolen property (there’s a lot of controversy on if he sent out deportation or death notices but Soros and his Allies strenuously deny it and as far as I am aware we have no evidence to refute them).

Neo and I disagree on whether or not the actions we can pin to him make him a Nazi collaborator (I believe the term fits), but the minor level of the actions he did as well as his age means even I do not think they would be actionable, and it is telling even Hungary’s government under Orban – which justifiably hates him and is seeking to indict him – has not touched on the idea of prosecuting him for crimes of collaboration.

In any case I agree with Daniel Greenfield that he was old enough to know right from wrong and certainly could have done more including resistance work, but did not. But it is easy to judge after the fact and other survivors did far worse. In any case most of Soros’s actions have no such ambiguity or doubt, and have no excuse that he was trying to survive a genocide or keep his real identity hidden.

It’s also worth noting that Soros was about 14 when the Nazi coup replaced Horthy with the Arrow Cross, and not a year older when the war in Europe ended. The martyr Max Kolbe was 47. Moreover, Kolbe was already in a death camp, while Soros was undercover and connected to both his birth family and his (admittedly evil and corrupt) foster father, all of whom might have been endangered had he tried to make a dramatic gesture of defiance.

I agree that Soros is evil.

But he did NOT “cooperate with Nazi concentration camp guards to save his own sorry skin.”

I believe in telling the truth, even about evil. Soros’ actual history is something I have discussed many many times before. Here’s one of them, to refresh your memory. Please read the linked post very carefully.
