Soros: Rupert Murdoch and Fox are Like Nazis, Tea Partiers are Being Deceived and Misled
George Soros on Sunday likened Fox News and Rupert Murdoch to Nazis while claiming that Tea Partiers are being deceived and misled by a force they can't understand.
Appearing on CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS," the financier of far-left propaganda outlets such as the Center for American Progress, Media Matters for America, and MoveOn.org was not shy about his distaste for conservatives (video follows with transcript and commentary):
FAREED ZAKARIA, HOST: George, I want you to look at a piece of video we have here.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
GLENN BECK, FOX NEWS HOST: The question is, do we have a shadow government? And, if we do, who are those intelligent minority that is -- that is guiding us through? And where are they guiding us to?
If you skip past all of the puppets and the strings, if you stop looking at the puppets themselves, you have to see who's behind the puppets. Who is choosing the puppets and the players? Who's the puppet master?
George Soros.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ZAKARIA: So, George, Glenn Beck has been on this kick that you are actually the mastermind who is trying to bring down the American government. How do you react when you see this kind of thing?
GEORGE SOROS: Well, I would be amused if -- if people saw the joke in it, because what he is doing, he is projecting what FOX, what Rupert Murdoch is doing, because he has a -- a media empire that is telling the people some falsehoods and this -- and leading the government in the wrong direction.
But, you know, by accusing me of doing that, it kind of makes it rather hard to see that it's really, he is working for the man who is doing it, which is FOX News.
Almost a schoolyard response - "That's what you are but what am I." I was half expecting Soros to next say, "I'm rubber, Beck's glue":
ZAKARIA: But it's very personal. I mean, he talks about you as a 14-year-old boy and he accuses you of -- of essentially helping to round Jews up -- you're Jewish yourself. You've lost --
SOROS: Yes.
ZAKARIA: You lost many, many people in the holocaust. How did you feel when you heard that?
SOROS: Well, look, FOX News makes a habit -- it has imported the methods of George Orwell, you know, newspeak, where you can tell the people falsehoods and deceive them. And you wouldn't believe that at an open society and a democracy these methods can succeed.
Fascinating coming from a man that is personally funding the leading liberal propaganda outlets in America. But it got worse, because Soros next violated Godwin's Law:
SOROS: But, actually, they did succeed. They succeeded in Germany where the Weimar Republic collapsed and you had a -- a Nazi regime follow it. So this is a very, very dangerous way of deceiving people, and I would like people to be aware that they are being deceived.
Now, I -- because I saw it as a child, I immediately react that way. But people in America, they are innocent. They -- they haven't had the experience. But having the experience now, and I hope they wake up and they realize that they are being deceived.
Rupert Murdoch is like a Nazi using his media outlet Fox News to "tell the people falsehoods and deceive them." And Zakaria sat there eating it up like a sheep.
Clearly enjoying the conservative bashing, the CNN host moved in another predictable direction asking his guest, "What do you think of this broader movement of the Tea Party, of -- of what's going on on the right?"
Honestly, what did Zakaria think Soros was going to say?
SOROS: Look, I think the people in the Tea Party are very decent people, hard-working. They've been hit by a force that -- that comes from somewhere which they can't fully understand, and -- and they are being misled. And they are misled by people who are using it for their selfish purposes, namely to remove regulations and -- and reduce taxation. So reduce taxation and regulation, and they are being used and deceived.
So the Tea Partiers are all idiots being misled into thinking loosened regulations and lower taxes are bad. Meanwhile, Soros funds organizations dishonestly trying to convince people that more regulations and higher taxes are good.
Not surprisingly, Zakaria missed both the hypocrisy and the irony.
I guess that makes him easily deceived and misled.

George ought to consider an interview with Glenn Beck
Submitted by TheHistorian on Sun, 02/20/2011 - 10:34pm.
Think he would have the guts to be one of Glenn's guests, to discuss the Weimar Republic, the rise of Naziism, and the social justice which the Jews received with his help?
And then throw in Media Matters, MoveOn.org, and a few other of George's funded operations. It would be delicious.
Or maybe George could discuss his roles in Petrobras securing funding for its deep water drilling from the US, and the shut down of mine operations in WVa.

If memory serves me correctly, Glen Beck has invited Soros on his show twice, allowing Soros a full hour to present his views. Obviously Soros is too cowardly to face the truth. Soros has no courage and definately no honor. He hides behind a slew of paid thugs and dishonesty in his attempts to impose his Socialist ideology upon the United States and others. He makes the belly of a snake too high for him to reach.

Soros attempts to deflect criticism away from his Communist beliefs and actions by painting FOX and Muddoch as NAZI's. He's counting on the ignorance of his leftists followers who don't know that NAZI translates to National Socialist Party. It might work well for those ignorant masses who follow him but not for us! Soros is the NAZI propaganda financier of all on the left including His Royal Ignorance, Barack Hussein Obama!

"The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully. And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry . But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." - Luke 12

And Soros, through his Open Society Foundation and his participation in the International Crisis Group, has actively funded the interests devoted to overturning the Government of Egypt. His Open Society group funded the opposition group that overthrew the President of Tunisia as well.
The International Crisis Group is a very odd collection of characters, which include Soros, Obama advisor Robert Malley (now resigned from the ICG, after it was revealed he was working with Hamas), Zbigniew Brzezinski, Samuel Berger, Bill Clinton’s national security adviser, Thomas Pickering, who made headlines in 2009 after meeting with Hamas leaders and calling for the U.S. to open ties to the Islamist group,

Slight mistake above. He isn't breaking godwin's law, he's following it. I believe the law is that every discussion will eventually end up with a Nazi comparision.
BTW, I don't consider Soros a collaborator. I don't blame anyone, certainkly not a Jew automatically marked for death, for co-operating there to save his life, unless he actually killed someone directly. There's a lot more blame to go around to the West for refusing to even allow the Jews to escape - our State Department "stood out" there.
Of course for EVERYTHING ELSE Soros did, I blame him plenty.

He should be kissing the ground in America wherever he walks-if he had any honor, that is. On second thought, if he ever had any honor, he would have died in a concentration camp with his family, instead of ratting them out to save his own skin.

That is all I have to say.
