richard40,

Your first comment illustrates how you’ve been duped into believing in the false religion of libertarianism. Talk radio and Fox “News” constantly repeat the talking point that anyone who disagrees with their ideology, is a leftist. As my handle indicates, I’m an Independent. If it’s within your intellectual means, consider if it make sense for a leftist to criticize moveon.org or Soros in general? Since I have and you obviously didn’t consider that fact, perhaps you should take a movement to try and think for yourself. You don’t have to let talk radio, Fox “News”, or the Koch brothers think for you.

Concerning SA’s ownership of Fox, you obviously didn’t read the article that I linked to. It stated “The billionaire aristocrat’s office on Tuesday announced he upped his stake in the media and entertainment colossus to 5.46% of voting shares”. In case English is not your first language, voting shares in not the same thing as non-voting shares. You would have known that if you read the article. I suspect you didn’t because you were just relying on what someone else wrote. Are you noticing a pattern about yourself?
The motives about that particular Saudi Prince were not the point of my original post. I could point out that
the same profit motive is probably part of the reason various foreign individuals and organizations “donate” money to American universities. According to various sources, roughly 75% of all scientific discoveries in the world (that do not involve archeology or the arts) are made at U.S. research facilities. There is a financial incentive to support American universities and Fox “News”. My point was that questionable people are not just supporting those universities but also Fox “News”.

As I stated earlier, my point about the Koch brothers is that they financed and started the Tea Party. That being the case, you cannot say that the Tea Party is a grass roots movement.

What wingnuts like you don’t seem to understand, is that I represent a growing minority (25% by many estimates) that believes in better government, balanced budgets, better regulation, and more personal freedom. By your own comments, it’s never occurred to you to deviate from the talking points of Fox “News”; let alone think for yourself and form your own opinions. BTW, every REB administration in the history of the party has increased the size of government and the only administrations that have balanced budgets and reduced the size of government has been the DEMs. And while I support neither party, I do support the truth. If you ever learn to think for yourself, you might start to appreciate that.

On your comments about the Koch brothers and Soros, I’ve already stated that it is disingenuous to compare the two. Yes they are basically doing the same thing for their respective sides but the Koch brothers have their tentacles much deeper than Soros. Again, the comparison of Fox and MSNBC is appropriate.

If you fully understand the English language (and I have my doubts) you would know that one cannot be a dupe of something if he apposes that thing. Since I oppose Soros and the Koch brothers I can’t be a dupe of either.

Finally, I never stated that “anybody who disagrees with you must be a stupid dupe”. That was a lie on your part. What I have stated is that if you believe that the so-called Tea Party is a grass roots movement, then you have been duped. The proof of that is the undisputable fact that the Koch brothers financed and started the “Tea Party”. Q.E.D.
