10. He's a billionaire (or nearly), so are Scaife and Murdock
Why is money from Scaife and Murdock considered to be signs of impending Apocolypse, while money from Soros is praised as manna from heaven?

Again, if money is corrupting, then it is corrupting, from wherever the source.

Why are you also harping on this GOP meme?

I am offering what I believe to be valid criticism of the selective outrage by proponents of CFR over money from multi-millionaires, and that it depends on which side is being financed. Calling it a "meme", as if it had no other substance than having the lyrics of "Don't worry, be happy" running around in your brain, is insulting and condescending. Address the issue, please.

As I've been seeing it (and yes, I'm exagerating just a wee bit to make my point)
Uber-rich support of Democrats: Jesus is just around the corner. Sunlight and love for everyone! O8)
Uber-rich support of Republicans: Satan is just around the corner. Pitchforks in the a$$ for everyone! :evilgrin:

I am looking for some consistency here.

Later,
