The facts just don't bare it out. When Soros annual contributions average about 1.6 million and so far they've raised the virtually same amount (1.5) from the Betrayus ad alone, you wouldn't know that to hear the wacky right wingers talk, you know a few mouse clicks and a good google search will dispell the myth but some people only want to believe what they want to believe, some refer to them as tinfoil hat wearers or kool aid drinkers, I prefer the pyschological term though which is confirmation bias, this condition makes it sufferers incapable of listening to outside sources and the can only adhere to reports that confirm the bias no matter how inaccuarte they are. While George Soros may provide a good sum of money in the context of his annual giving it's paltry, he gives away about 450 million annually, contrast his donations (1.6mil) to Moveon's annual budget of about 40 million and the myth is easily dispelled, don't you just hate it when the lie you are living by gets crushed?

suthernlyts - much of this man's background involves fighting communism and promoting democracy in Eastern Europe. Since when are we as Americans opposed to one of the world's greatest champions of Democracy?
Yes Andy - he donated a great deal of money to getting rid of Bush. Were you as outraged when Scaife donated more to getting rid of CLinton?

Here is one question I demand the neo-cons reading this question answer.
If Soros is so far to the left, then why did his actions bring down the Soviet Union?
Did Ronald Reagan fund Solidarity in Poland? No!
Did Pope John Paul support the unions in Poland? No!
Where did the money that freed the Poles come from? George Soros.
If he wants to clean house here, let him! He hates communism as much as I do! I only hope he hates ignorant reactionaries as much as he hated the Russians.

Uhh, between Moveon and George Soros's other little group OSI, Open Society Institute, Soros spent over 74 million dollars last year promoting Democrats, illegal aliens, and terrorist friendly ruling. Plus OSI helped fund a little of Moveon's events. Soros is the money behind Moveon, and he's pretty good at hiding it.
edit: Actually, I got my information from Investors Business Daily. Thank you very much. But, my response is being ignored because it can't be countered, so I understand. If you can't fight it: ignore it, deny it, or insult it.

What does raising money for his leftist hate site have to do with the fact that he's not the primary backer? Read and do some studying about this monger and his background and realize just how much influence he has in your own party. Exactly what you people appose so much is what this man supports.
And if you don't think you're politicians are afraid of him, think again.

40 million could build better housing which is lost in every city for lower income people.

So listening to an organization that bashes a highly decorated Army commander or listening to your other liberally biased mainstream station making up fake stories is more credible?
Moveon.org has bought most of the democratic party, follow the money trail. There is a dem senator here in TX that has received more money from Moveon than any other source. He even received more from Moveon than Billary. So what are they trying to buy from him?

He absolutely funds leftist groups. move.org specifically? I don't know; it's irrelevant frankly. He has to spend all that money he stole from the Bank of England somewhere though.
