That doesn't make him bad; it might make the system we live under in which money is speech bad, and Trump/Gorsuch who upholds it, bad. What he has done is support democratic movements in the region where he comes from. That's a good thing.

You just agreed with me. Let me reword this. He supported groups that are seditious.  Besides, external interference in the internal affairs of any nation state is just plain evil. That's why I despise such pricks like McStain. An you had a hissy fit over what was perhaps Russian interference in US internal affairs.

I don't agree with you. Supporting democratic movements by one's own people is not sedition; it's justice. These were not violent movements. They were not imposed by the US army. They were indigenous. Movements by the people deserve our non-violent support. Russian hacking is not a movement by the people.

Attacking Soros is attacking the wrong target, to a gross degree.

1. Are you sure? Soros = puppet master. Violent actors obviously don't have to have any government involvement.  I again refer you to the Weather Underground and the SLA I recall in not such a fond way.

This is not about violent actors. Those early 70s groups were extremely ineffective and not much of a threat, and rather pathetic and ludicrous (especially the SLA), and not supported by any puppet masters.

Quote:2. If you're OK with Soros because you like what he does, then I suppose it's OK for me to be OK with the Koch brothers because the stuff they support helps my IRA balance, right?

Not at all; your IRA balance is not an especially important national cause of reform and justice; sorry

Quote:3. Hat tip to Maryposa,  yeah, I can go with McSenile.  That explains lots of things.

McCain is a senile clock. That's better than a broken one, but still wrong most of the time.

1. Maybe we need an investigation into what all fatcats are up to.  I'd like that.
2. IRA:  I'm not the only one with an IRA.  I bet most Tauri are just as interested in making a buck as I am.  But of course we don't know this for sure and to what degree 'cause I'd have to pay you. Just think of it as helping a new minority class.
3. Senile clocks are you know old. That means there is a high probability of even more stuff going awry.  It's like old cars, bodies, cat, dogs, etc.
