Phil Kent said there are 16,000 Liberal think tanks undermining America!
I've seen this creep before but I can't place where! He was on Hardball tonight. He said there are 16,000 Liberal Think tanks that are undermining Cmerica by contributing to radical muslim groups. When he was asked for examples he mentioned Ford Motor Company, George Soros, and OpenSociety (something). Sorry I didn't understand the third name attached to Open Society. Later of course he added the ACLU.

He was on because he was promoting a book, "FOUNDATIONS OF BETRAYAL, How the Liberal $uper-Rich Undermine America"

Now obviously this guy's a wingnut, but where did he even GET this idea? If they are so influential, why haven't I even heard the name Soros since the 04 election, and FORD????? I sure don't intend to waste any $$ on his junk, but I'd love to see a list of who he thinks these 16,000 Super-Rick Liberals are! We should find out and contact them, cause it sure seems like they've been hiding well!

19. It was Dobbs daily "Things in the World Not Directly Related to Immigration" segment.
He usual dedicates about 5 minutes of his hour show to that.

6. Maybe they're all still working on a response to the swift boaters'
If they are out there ,they damn sure aren't changing any public opinion or legislation. The " liberal rich" don't hold a candle to Conservative rich as far as money and power.

10. that would be SOROS, a group I have
dealt with on more than a few times. His group brought the tubes of the internets into eastern europe, into central europe, brought in western banking principles and principals, and did more to take former USSR states and give them a chance to pull their heads out of the water and see the light, more than any State Department memo, any Bushista statement of support for freedumb, and more than any condiricism.

every employee had a goal - to pass over knowledge, experience, and hunger to do more to the locals. His system worked, by my personal and experience-based account, in 14 countries to which I have traveled and seen the results.

fuck those who hate soros. He is a giant of a man who put his money and love of life where his pocketbook was.

18. I caught part of that shit at the gym. That Dobbs fucker has a keen sense of irony.
The interview with the guy claiming the Liberal Elite rules America was delayed briefly by news that Bush was invoking privilege to keep Rove from being subject to Congressional oversight. The Liberal Elite which dominates America somehow seems to struggle with putting any sort of checks upon an ultraconservative White House.

I was too nauseated to watch more, but did this asshole explain why we're still in Iraq, without universal health care, and have no plan to counter global warming? Pretty sorry fucking Liberal Elite, if you ask me.
