What is THIS crap?

[Danny]

A group of billionaire philanthropists are to donate tens of millions more dollars to develop progressive political ideas in the US in an effort to counter the conservative ascendancy.

---------------------------

The details of the San Francisco meeting are closely held. Mr Soros and his son Jonathan, the Sandlers and Mr Lewis asked aides to leave the room as they discussed the planned financial commitment.

Sounds secretive, underhanded, and conniving - just like they accuse the "conservatives" of being.

Wasn't soros involved with funding "air america"? He can keep spending his money all he wants but the problem is with his message, and the thinking american isn't buying it.

Why would it be secretive, underhanded?

So, Soros doesn't want people to know how much money he is putting up. Big deal.

Can't be any worse then Project For A New American Century.

Why would it be secretive, underhanded?Because he's a communist. :D

[01WhiteCobra]

Because he's a communist. :D

I use to like ol' George alot until he got mixed up in this. He should have just stuck to money.

Although, I don't think he was a communist since he and his family fled communist Hungary to England (socialist maybe!)
