Interesting article. Thanks. However, Levant is way off base.

Soros was 14 in 1944. He also worked against the Nazis. I don’t blame him for whatever he did to stay alive, and I don’t think it is fair for anyone else to do so either.

Being an atheist is not a crime, nor is believing in Fallibilism or whatever you like.

Speculation is a part of our market economy. If he had been wrong, he would have lost billions of dollars. Not saying I like it, but how can the right wing blame people for being capitalists? What he did is not illegal, and not even particularly unethical. To say he bankrupted England is completely wrong. His fund, the Quantum Fund, bet the currency would go down by selling short, and it did, making Quantum a lot of money. It wasn’t the British government who was buying those short orders – it was the market.

This article mentions that the president of Malaysia denounced Soros during the Asian crisis, blaming speculators for the crash. However, it neglects to say that in 2006 Mohammad publicly apologized to Soros, saying he was wrong to blame him.

After reading both your article and the Wikipedia article on Soros, I conclude that Soros has done a lot of good in his life. His speculation, especially on currency, has also created enemies. However, I think the majority of attacks on him from the right come because of his politics. Why are there are no mentions of his contributions to charity here? Neglecting that and only focusing on the negative side of a person leads to becoming biased and polarized about that person, thinking that he or she is not even a human. I find the fact that there are no less than 4 comments on Levant’s article advocating killing Soros to be very frightening and extreme. I don’t want to see people killed, and I don’t support anyone advocating that kind of violence.
