In 5 words or less, what do you think of George Soros?

[Pimpadeaux 2,406]

His turds outsmart pathetic peefoam.

Three points: 

1. The only reply to my link about Soros’ heroic actions to help save Eastern Europe was that the article I linked came from his organization. That would be pertinent if the facts were wrong, but they’re actually very well documented and nobody is disputing them. He really was one of the main figures behind the end of Communism, which makes the argument that he is a leftist himself both stupid and ironic.

2. The main criticism against Soros’ policies seems to be his support of criminal justice reform. As usual, the conservative mantra is that any supposed “softening” of criminal justice encourages criminals and leads to more crime. The facts contradict this, and it’s actually a much more complicated question. But on this subject as  in so many others, facts are less important to conservatives than emotion. The emotional response is that we need to be “tough” with criminals. Unfortunately this lazy approach produces unequal and unjust outcomes. 

3. Any discussion of Soros inevitably leads to anti-Semitic tropes. Most of the folks who engage in this do so unaware. But the tropes are there: the wealthy powerful Jew moving in the shadows, the puppet master controlling events.

not going to research or run a fact check on your #1, but I'm sure it's full of holes.

as for your #2 & #3.  complete & utter BS along with your racial undertones on pretty much everything.

Regarding this point. This is of course the Jewish stereotype and its unfair and untrue. Most all Jews don't deserve it. It just so happens that in George Soros' case, the stereotype fits him to the T.  Not only does he imbibe the stereotype fit him with every nanogram of his phlegm-drenched soul, but he exceeds every other Jew going back to Abraham at it, including each-and-every Rothschild. I would never insinuate that Soros' evil scumball behavior reflects on any other Jews. He gets this label entirely on his own merits and - directly to your point- he doesn't get to use his Jewishness as a pass from criticism.

Here is a power abusing sh*tbag whose Jewish.

Jeffrey Epstein is a power abusing sh*tbag whose Jewish.

Harvey Weinstein is a power abusing sh*tbag whose Jewish.

Three dots. Do they connect? No! Not to me. I'm not going there. Too many outstanding Jews exist that don't deserve it. I'm  not taking what Soros or Epstein or Weinstein did and hold it against either of the other two. I sure as hell will not hold it against you or Jerry Seinfeld or Albert Einstein or David Lee Roth or the Three Stooges.

Here really truly is a wealthy powerful Jew moving in the shadows, a puppetmaster controlling events. We criticize him for this activity because he really does engage in this activity.

Soros is in the shadows? Tim actually said this after he linked to the Soros web page.
