MEET A MARK RITCHIE CONTRIBUTOR: FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTOR TO ULTRA-PARTISAN LIBERAL GROUPS, GEORGE SOROS
By Michael B. Brodkorb | January 2, 2007
George Soros contributed $250.00 on September 2, 2006 to Mark Ritchie’s campaign.  Taking money from George Soros will make if incredibly difficult for Republicans to trust Ritchie.
WHO IS GEORGE SOROS?
“Soros pledged to raise $75 million to defeat President Bush in the 2004 Presidential election, and personally donated nearly a third of that amount to anti-Bush groups (see The Shadow Party). He gave $5 million to MoveOn.org, the group that produced political ads likening Bush to Adolf Hitler. He also contributed $10 million to a Democratic Party 2004 get-out-the-vote initiative called America Coming Together, whose directors include representatives from the AFL-CIO, the Sierra Club, the Service Employees International Union, and EMILY’s List. He further pledged $3 million to the Center for American Progress (CAP), a think-tank headed by former Clinton chief-of-staff John Podesta.” Source: Discover the Networks
Moveon.org Mega-donor George Soros called 9/11 attacks “Spectacular”:
Soros: 9/11 Terrorist Attacks “Could Not Have Been More Spectacular.” “Hijacking fully fueled airliners and using them as suicide bombs was an audacious idea, and its execution could not have been more spectacular.” (George Soros, “The Bubble Of American Supremacy,” The Atlantic Monthly, 12/1/03) Source: Republican National Committee
George Soros Claims War On Terror Is A “False Metaphor” That Cannot Be Won:
George Soros: “The war on terror is a false metaphor that has led to counterproductive and self-defeating policies.” (George Soros, Op-Ed, “A Self-Defeating War,” The Wall Street Journal, 8/15/06)
FLASHBACK: Soros’ Wild-Eyed Rhetoric From The Past:
Soros Said The United States Was “The Main Obstacle To A Stable And Just World.” (Susanna Schrobsdorff, “America The Dangerous?” Newsweek, 6/29/06)
Soros Called American Troops In Iraq “Perpetrators” And “Oppressors.” (“Soros: Bush War On Terrorism Claims Too Many Victims,” The Associated Press, 5/17/04)
Soros Said A “Supremacist Ideology” Guides Bush Administration, Which Reminds Him Of Nazis. (Laura Blumenfeld, “Soros’s Deep Pockets Vs. Bush,” The Washington Post, 11/11/03)
Soros Wrote That To Preserve “Our Global Open Society,” The World Needs “Some Global System Of Political Decision-Making” In Which “The Sovereignty Of States Must Be Subordinated To International Law And International Institutions.” (Matthew Rees, “Saving Capitalism From Soros,” The Ottawa Citizen, 12/9/98)
Soros Favors Making “Heroin And Certain Other Illicit Drugs Available On Prescription To Registered Drug Addicts.” (George Soros, Op-Ed, “A Look At … The Drug War Debate,” The Washington Post, 2/2/97)
Former Carter Cabinet Member Joseph Califano Called Soros “The Daddy Warbucks Of Drug Legalization.” (Joseph A. Califano Jr., Op-Ed, “Devious Efforts To Legalize Drugs,” The Washington Post, 12/4/96)
Other George Soros/MoveOn.org highlights:
New Ad Featured On MoveOn.org Website Accuses President Bush Of Using “Funds From Foreign Governments To Finance The Killing Of Innocent Civilians” And Of Having “Established Links With Known Terrorist Organizations.” (MoveOn.org’s “Bush In 30 Seconds” Website, http://www.bushin30seconds.com/150/view.html?ad_id=2194, Accessed 5/26/04) Source: Republican National Committee
One of the best ways to learn about Minnesota’s new Secretary of State, Mark Ritchie, is to examine the background of his camaign contributors. Over the next week, I’ll be posting information about the ultra-liberal, leftist, pro-Castro, anti-business, communist sympathizers who contributed to Mark Ritchie’s campaign. Check back tomorrow for another post on a Ritchie campaign contributor.

Actually George Soros and Michael Moore are the best things that ever happened to the Republican party.
Those two are so far over the top and so far off into some left wing fantasy land, that they help Republicans. I bet Tom Daschel wishes he didn’t hump Michael Moore’s leg now (actually it was a big man-hug, but same effect).

Let us not forget that after donating to Ritchie, Soros still had enough cash on hand to buy the local lefty “reporters” who republish his lunatic daily talking points memo at MiniMoni.

I’m often tempted to believe that the MiniMoni sock puppets are putting George’s desire to make mind altering narcotics available into practise.

So few zeros after the five… as a DFLer I feel spurned, spurned!

Gasp! A wealthy man puts his assets towards social and political causes! He’s supposed to put that money in a tax shelter in the Cayman Islands.
So, Michael, any of that sweet half million of Bob Perry’s money trickle down to you?

Tom,
You shouldn’t mention tax shelters and George Soros in the same breath – it causes me to laugh too much! George Soros, patron saint of the far left, is actually under indictment in France for, gasp, tax evasion! It’s funny how limousine liberals (actually he’s more of a Socialist) preach one thing and then practice something different when it comes to their own finances.
Soros also tried bankrupting the Pound Sterling and did severe damage to the economy of Great Britian in the 1980s. That’s not very nice, is it?
