So where does/did this asshat get his money from that he apparently doesn't need?

I just got my check from George Soros, the Elders of Zion, and the Illuminati. 50,000 bucks just for wearing a red shirt.....whohoo!!!!

Unlike the Koch's....I think he actually earned it himself.

Soros lives in the head of the right. I love it.

The more he gives, the less credible these movements have become. Everyone knows they are completely astroturfed.

Manipulating currencies. He's legal, but about as crooked and unscrupulous as they come. He damn near crashed the English economy effing around with the bank of England. Ruined a LOT of lives and walked with somewhere around a billion bucks.

So, IOW's, he fits right in. Ends justify the means. Any means.

He's also a Nazi collaborator. Bad (and sick) man.

Soros was born in Budapest in the Kingdom of Hungary to a well-to-do non-observant Jewish family ... His father was a lawyer

In 1936 Soros's family changed their name from the Jewish Schwartz to Soros, as protective camouflage in increasingly anti-Semitic Hungary.

Soros was 13 years old in March 1944 when Nazi Germany occupied Hungary. Jewish children were barred from attending school by the Nazis, and Soros and the other schoolchildren were made to report to the Judenrat ("Jewish Council") which had been established during the occupation. Soros later described this time to writer Michael Lewis: "The Jewish Council asked the little kids to hand out the deportation notices. I was told to go to the Jewish Council. And there I was given these small slips of paper.... I took this piece of paper to my father. He instantly recognized it. This was a list of Hungarian Jewish lawyers. He said, "You deliver the slips of paper and tell the people that if they report they will be deported."

Soros the elder did not return to that job; his family purchased documents to say that they were Christians, thereby allowing them to survive the war.

Info wars?

George Soros was a victim of the Nazis. He does not like Russia, Serbian atrocities in Kosova/Bosnia....and far rightists like Le Pen, Orban, Pegida, etc.

Really, I suppose you'd call him a law breaker for not willingly going to Aushwitz?

I think Soros may be a bit of a boogie man.

Understatement of the year.

I'm going to be all over the place in this post because I take issue with a couple of things from both sides here:

This is a great headline that gets the reaction that Fox definitely wanted. I'm know mind reader, but it sort of confirms the biases of the people who think that he's pretty much real-time funding these protests. Getting randos out there and cutting them a check. By the conservative think tank's own analysis, this money was given between 2010 and 2014 to less than a quarter of the partners. Did he have a time machine at the time? At the end of the day, these groups have a common stance overall. Sure, he has ties to a number of the partners, but so does every other extremely rich person in the world.

http://www.mrc.org/special-reports/march...lionaire-0

Now there are a lot of valid criticisms toward this movement and its coverage. It's not a beautiful show of solidarity, equality, and open-mindedness. They alienated longstanding partners because they weren't pro-choice. There has been serious misbehavior that won't get pointed out because it is a left wing thing. If one conservative person got arrested, it would've been because of their "obvious evil tendencies".

This movement is one of the reasons that I could not in good consciousness call myself a progressive. It's a movement that's all about open-mindedness...as long as you fit their mold. No other suggestions are accepted.

But pointing out even the most loose Soros ties is getting a bit hackneyed don't you think? The OP's article is a show of Fox's laziness and lack of ability. They missed the meat of the report to misrepresent the findings. How does a $hitty organization like Newsbusters have a better report on the same information that Fox had?

You're right, it's just a coincidence that he bankrolls all of the regressive political movements in America.

Less than a 5th of the participating organizations. It's as played out as blaming the Kochs. I bet if we had a full list of the 100 organizations, we'd be yawning at how boring it is. I like how they spent some time highlighting the ACLU when they also have a good record of defending conservative causes and currently have an alliance with the Kochs regarding criminal justice reform.

Regressive? LOL. You guys want to bring us back to the 1950's. Soros believes in pluralism, cooperation, human rights and consensus. I get that there are people, like Putin, Bannon, Orban, Duterte, Le Pen, and Erdogan, who loathe freedom and human rights....but Soros is opposed to that.

Yes, regressive. Save your meaningless buzz words.
