I mean, people have been repeating this nonsense based on shoddy journalism by Reuters a few days ago. Since then, Reuters has pulled the article from it's website, but people keep reposting asinine bullshit like this article from Paul Joseph Watson, editor of Prison Planet.com, and regular fill-in for Alex Jones.

No, Watson, it's not a trap. You're just a shill for the propertied classes.

Discuss.

Damn, I wish a rich-ass man like George Soros was secretly a Marxist and made it his agenda for the proletariat to take class power. I mean think about it, wouldn't that make it a lot easier for us?

I heard this bullshit from my mother the other day. Complete nonsense.

Perhaps you should show her the first link. Also, ask her why the original article claiming this BS is no longer available. I would also be interested in seeing the official Reuters retraction statement.

Well she's an hour drive away and doesn't listen to logic. She would say it is lefty propaganda.

With all the things right wing liars have said Soros finances, I should be rich myself just off money Soros must have sent me.

To which I say, "Dude, where's my Soros checks?"

Hell, if we had a fraction of the money we're said to have been sent by Soros, we wouldn't be so fucking proud of raising a quarter million bucks in a month to run absolutely fucking everything.

And I wouldn't live in a fucking hovel, choosing between textbooks and functioning plumbing :p

Also the Soros thing was already being circulated in... I think August is when it started on Wingnut Daily.

dint you guise no!?


George Soros is a puppet master and is secretly an anti-capitalist hedge fund manager who overthroas govmints and bankroals secretly-communist organisashuns?

[socialistjustin]

I heard this from some people we passed when we marched on Fremont. I wish it was true then maybe instead of handing out granola bars the organizers could hand out some Six Dollar Burger combos.

[Seth]

Yeah, Soros a Red, one of the most successful anti-communists ever.

This obsession with Soros stems from anti-semitism.

[Iraultzaile Ezkerreko]

Whenever someone makes a snide comment about the ISO charging dues, I say "Sorry, Bill Gates' check bounced." I mean seriously, the sheer amount of cognitive dissonance required to convince one's self that a billionaire Wall Street guy is a secret anti-capitalist is just inconceivable.

[Ocean Seal]

George Soros the first billionaire anti-capitalist :laugh:. Only in America would someone believe that...

[RED DAVE]

He does bankroll it.

Last night when I was down at OWS, I saw him personally passing out hundred dollar bills smeared with the blood of innocent capitalist children. He had a long tongue and was obviously a Raelian lizard (or a member of Kiss -- also headed by a Jew).
