Glad you jumped on that dishonest "shot himself" meme. When I read that my blood pressure went up a notch. |

The only time Kerry "shot himself" was when he opened his mouth.
Even here, Swift Boat Vets for Freedom, isn’t it Swift Vets and POWs for Truth. Truth or Freedom, a bit of a difference.
Besides, Kerry brought up the idea of kicking their asses from one end of the country to the other, just recently, practically inviting a response. |

The fact that you are defending the Swift Vets gives me pause to ask if you believe that this group represented an honest point view in a honest manner overall?
As for the article itself, there is not suggestion that this is illegal or should not be allowed, just intelligence that the other side is building up their warchests and preparing for battle, and pointing out specifics about the people who run this group, with information that would surely encourage anyone that loves America to right a check to the DNC ;)

Having read the book and then done detailed independent research, yes, in my opinion, their view was generally presented honestly. You’re welcome to hit the site’s search engine to read it.As for the article itself, there is not suggestion that this is illegal or should not be allowed, just intelligence that the other side is building up their warchests and preparing for battle, and pointing out specifics about the people who run this group, with information that would surely encourage anyone that loves America to right a check to the DNC ;) Nor was I commenting on whether he was suggesting it should be illegal or not allowed. I commented on his selective memory. |

Does he claim that Soros et al never funded such groups?
I don’t see where he shows a lack of recollection of Soros.
I am quite sure that if asked, he would indicate that Soros and others were funding efforts to save America from bad guys like the ones mentioned in this article.

There was a reason he said: "... and now this one person is providing $5 million in funding...".

Most rational folks who read Dave, particularly at Seeing the Forest, know that he is just a bit inclined towards conspiracy theories. This post (actually cross posted) shows his more moderate manufacturing selective outrage side. |

This IS unusual, certainly worth reporting, but not unique, and nowhere did the author assert or imply that it is unique.
There indeed was a reason for his "on person" comment, it reflects that which is unusual, not that it has never happened before.
I know you want for him to have said that this has never happened, but he just didn’t do that.
He merely pointed out something worthy of being pointed out, just as right wingers pointed out Soros’ contributions.
I assure you, I could find stories about Soros’ contribution that actually ARE inflammatory.

That’s quite a reach. Not as far as I’m concerned and thus the story.This IS unusual, certainly worth reporting, but not unique, and nowhere did the author assert or imply that it is unique. And I disagree, thus the story.
Look Cap, you can spend now until eternity trying to tell me what I should or shouldn’t "report" on or how I should or shouldn’t "report" on them, but it won’t change a thing. As I said before, I’m not a reporter. I write about things that interest me and I give my opinion about them. You’re welcome to comment. But if you think commentary like this is going to have any effect on what I choose or say, you’re mistaken. I assure you, I could find stories about Soros’ contribution that actually ARE inflammatory. Well you might want to start your own blog and do so. But the point of this story had nothing to do with inflammatory stories about Soros. |

On the subject of Soros (not exactly Off Topic but more of a "by the way"): most of my life I have heard collectivists make disparaging remarks about capitalists labelled "robber barons." Is Soros a robber baron? If not, why is he different? If he didn’t acquire his fortune through force or fraud, he is certainly using his wealth to advance the interests of Der Staat, the ultimate "robber baron." Just wondering. |

It wasn’t me that responded to a story about Perry with a reference to Soros in the second sentence.
It sounds a lot like, "they did it first".
Perry is pile of excrement that lowers the level of discourse in America, I do not believe that Soros is guilty of the same.
Both put a lot of money into politics, but that does mean that they are the same with the only difference being their ideology.

It sounds a lot like, "they did it first". Not at all. I don’t care if 500 people on both side give 5 million each to their favorite cause.
What I was commenting on is his selective memory concerning his use of "this one person", as if that was a first.
Again, what caught my eye was his emphasis of those words. He did it for some purpose. Now we can disagree as to what his purpose was, but it did have a purpose.Perry is pile of excrement that lowers the level of discourse in America, I do not believe that Soros is guilty of the same. Wow. Well, we’ll have to disagree on that as well.
