The Soros-Media Matters-White House Connection
— Ace

Media MattersÂ’ founder David Brock, noted for his erratic and paranoid behavior, also heads SuperPAC American Bridge, which received a million dollar contribution from George Soros, and both organizations orchestrate attacks on religion while decrying conservatives in popular media.
So why are there howls in the media about the influence of contributors on the right, such as the Koch brothers, but not those on the left, when there appears to be collusion to manipulate news media, lie to the public, and subvert honest political debate?
Liberal activists tied to these subversive shadowy campaigns target individual bloggers, and may even be abusing social media to completely shut down accounts that dare to express a conservative opinion....
All the while, ObamaÂ’s communications head David Axelrod whines about SuperPACs destroying America:

Obama campaign senior strategist David Axelrod said Thursday that free-spending super PACs were hurting the fabric of democracy Â— and that President ObamaÂ’s administration would move to reform the campaign finance system in a possible second term.

If we had any kind of responsible mainstream press with a twinge of integrity, they would demand answers from the Obama re-election campaign. But there isnÂ’t.

As Sheldon Adelson said: George Soros has been doing this for ten years. Why the media hubbub when Adelson chooses to donate to a PAC?

And his PAC isn't creating sockpuppet accounts to silence dissent.

26 I was lazy and didn't contact my congress critters but I think the BK et al situation should have the IRS auditors attention rather than the demanding the DOJ investigate the swattings, especially when we have the DOJ that came up with FnF. Politcal groups do not have the same tax advantages.

And I'm thinking Velvet Revolution and the other farce are small potatoes. If Tides is supposed to be a charitable foundation rather than one of Sorasses PACs then what are they doing shoving money to a "charity" whose main activity is shutting done free speech critical to king Putt. Audit Streisands and Theresa Heinz-Kerry's foundations too.

It is called projection or mirror imaging.

The left think we are just like them only stupider. Therefore, it is obvious that we would do what they would do if they were in our shoes.

Unfortunately we have morals and believe in the laws. So many of the tactics they do use and would use are off limits to us. That is both our greatest weakness and our greatest strength.

105 Yes it is hot and steamy in Connect-icut. So what we do when we get home is we put our swimming trunks on and we go forth into the gardens and loll about in the sun and push a few leaves around and furrow our brow, as if concentrating, and if Wifey calls out, we say, "Gardening, Dear!" and Happiness Returns. At the moment, however, we are sitting on teh Back Porch listening to Furtwangler's version of the St Matthew Passion VERY LOUD. BTW, there is Captain Morgan involved.

None of this would be happening if we had an honest media. Not a conservative media, just an honest one. A South Park media would do. One that skewers both sides.

The Dems are so far out in left field that they wouldn't survive a week and would be forced to reform themselves and kick the communists out. Then we could go back to having a healthy 2 party system.

147 This time, POTUS is seeing some positive returns on his recent efforts to cultivate ties with younger entertainers, as a group of stars from the under-40 set (or favored by that demographic) are banding together for a June 29 fund-raiser in Los Angeles. The event will be spearheaded by a lineup of industry players Â– including directors David Fincher and Darren Aronofsky; actors Zach Braff, Ian Somerhalder, Zachary Quinto and Maria Bello; and musicians Pete Wentz, Kenna and Peter Frampton Â— according to the Hollywood Reporter. Author Neil Strauss, CAA agent (and Reese WitherspoonÂ’s husband) Jim Toth, and actresses Maggie Q and Connie Britton are also reportedly on the co-host list for the evening. A person with knowledge of the event confirmed to TheWrap that the fund-raiser was set for next Friday, but had no further details about the guest list, venue and the presidentÂ’s potential involvement. The celebrity-heavy party is backed by ObamaÂ’s Gen44 initiative, Â“the official under-40 fundraising program of Obama for America,Â” as the campaign site puts it.

I'm under 40 and none of those names mean anything to me at all (although I am familiar with Reese Witherspoon).

Ironically, as a female single parent I *am* in one of O's target demographics. Too bad for him I've *got* a dad ,and my late husband left us provided for, so I don't want or need his brand of paternalism. The fact that his policies are what endangers my chances of *remaining* relatively self-sufficient doesn't exactly indear him to me either.

180 Now, Reuters reports that top military brass have relieved the instructor of that course, Lt. Col Matthew A. Dooley, of his duties following a review of the course materials: Colonel David Lapan, a spokesman for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on Wednesday a review of the course found that Â“institutional failures and in oversight and judgmentÂ” led to the course being modified over time in a way Â“that portrayed Islam almost entirely in a negative way.Â” Â“The inquiry recommends the course be redesigned to include aspects of U.S. policy and reduce its reliance on external instruction,Â” Lapan said in a statement. It also recommended improving oversight of course curricula. Â“The elective courseÂ’s military instructor has been relieved of his instructor duties until his permanent change of station, which was previously planned for 2012,Â” Lapan said.[...]

Behold this breathtaking display of naked fascism from a KosKid:

"We shouldn't have to do a thing. President Obama should simply use such an event as an opportunity to declare that the reversal has made the state of Health Care in the United States a National Emergency and as such he is using the Emergency Powers of the Presidency to Nationalize the Delivery of Health Care in the Country under the Auspices of the Veterans Administration,

All existing hospitals, testing labs etc, etc and all private Doctors offices would immediately fall under the direction of the VA and Health CareServices would simply be provided free to all who required medical help until it was possible to work out a system which funded the care and paid the providers out a progressive system of taxation dedicated exclusively to the overall effort.

All existing insurance policies would no longer be in effect and no further payments to the insurance companies would be required of anyone,

The country for quite some time would in effect be under martial law and dissenters would be summarily dealt with in manners deemed appropriate to the circumstances

Get the drift.

Even the Supreme Court would be subject to Martial Rule.

In the end the Country will have National Health Care like the rest of the civilized world.

Costs will drop by as much 40% or more and Health Outcomes will improve dramatically.

In a few years everyone will be saying why didn't we do this back in 1948."

Go sell it somewhere else. Soros is a former Nazi collaborator, actively worked to bring down the British pound for his own gain, and is working to reduce individual liberties in the USA. Only idiot libertarians and idiot liberals (BIRM re: libs) believe they have anything in common other than their small overlap regarding disdain for religion and dislike of the war on drugs.

Dewpoint is a fairly reliable "comfort" measurement.

Under 60 feels fairly dry. 60-65 is when you start sweating. 65-70 is when you sweat out more than you take in. 70-75 is oppressive and when it feels like your brain is starting to cook.

As Jonah Goldberg has pointed out, there is no good definition for "fascism", so it gets hurled around willy-nilly. Benito Mussolini was the first fascist. He was originally an international socialist, but eventually decided that national and cultural divides would prevent a pan-national workers' party from coming into being, thus he developed Italian Socialism - a cultural or national socialism. When he did so, the international socialists, especially the Russians, branded him a right-wing reactionary, which is actually why that pejorative still hangs around today.

Fascism, Naziism, and other similar new names for the same old thing are still top-down command driven economic models where the citizen serves the state. Don't forget to remind your leftard pals of this fact at every opportunity.

267 @241.. the closer the dewpoint is to the temperature the more moisture there is in the air .. you can never have a dewpoint higher than the temperature of the air itself. Within 4 degrees, there is visible moisture, ie, fog, mist, rain. A dewpoint above I think 60 to 70 degrees is humid to huminoids ... Also, It's the relationship of temp to dewpoint; one to another. Humidity is relative. Wind also matters.

Also, once the temp gets above 105, it becomes very hard for the atmosphere to hold the humidity high without rain, jungle, or large water... also, high humidity /dewpoint, tends to smother the airs ability to go too high and it's ability to shoot up. You won't often find it 105 and a dewpoint above 70.. and as the temp goes up, the dewpoints lower by default because it's so freaking hot. ie, Vegas gets like 115 with a dewpoint of 30.

277 Erikw, i would say anyone that continues to harm and hasn't committed to reparations/repairing harm he has caused of those he has harmed ,he is a person that shouldn't be admired, yet he is, strange isn't it?

278 anyway, we could go into a theological discussion but it's really is the wrong type of forum.

281 Look, all y'all can blow me, 'k? Alabama, where we'll be staring at high 90s and worse before long, plus humidity. We gots rivers, and this big body of water a couple hours drive south o' here that some idjits let get messy a couple years back, and likes to toss nasty storms at us time to time, see?

So you up north complaining about the weather? Yeah, you wouldn't last a month anywhere from Texas through the Florida panhandle. (The rest of Florida can get bent.)

I wouldn't say he's admired so much as he's feared. The guy has more money than the GDPs of entire nations. I don't admire him or fear him, I just straight up loathe the piece of shit.

Posted by: ErikW at June 21, 2012 06:24 PM (IcwhU)

284 And Brother Cavill aint seen shit for weather like a Detroit Summer, 95 deg and 98 humidity along with dodgin bullets from the locals makes for quite a sportin time in Motown in the summer.

Posted by: willow at June 21, 2012 06:30 PM (TomZ9)

288 251 I think the heat index crap started in the early 80's... the wind chill goes back to the 70's I'm pretty sure as far as I remember them being beat into us in the weather reports.

Wind chill is somewhat appropriate and useful...the difference between -20 and -20 with wind is: one is tolerable for quite awhile, the other will claim exposed flesh very quickly.

Posted by: model_1066 at June 21, 2012 06:31 PM (PWwbk)

289 Agreed and that's why wind chill factor came out first. It has a purpose, but too, it is a factor in the cold. Wind and cold can kill. So can heat, but the heat index really is a guess. Temps are taken in shade, heat index doesn't account for wind the way wind chill does... it's just a feeling thing... humidity plus heat = miserable... oh and then add biting mosquitoes! heh

It's bad, but he's got a few advantages.

He can count on the MSM campaigning for him, and attacking Romney, for FREE.

He can (and has) thrown millions of "stimulus" dollars at swing states, Unions, ACORN, etc. as well as enact cute policy changes like the back-door DREAM Act.

Can't get too cocky about his low funds just yet.
