"Normally, I'm willing to overlook the hypocrisy of the liberal elite." A quote from the America hating George {I am Hypocrite} Soros. "If Al Gore and his Hollywood cronies want to fly around on gas-guzzling, atmosphere-polluting private jets while railing against global climate change, I'm willing to overlook it."
More wisdom from Soros, if a Conservative was to do this, be sure Soros and his many anti- republican Organizations would be lambasting them. But since it is one of his personal pieces of property {the Whole Democratic Party} "I bought them they better do what I say" Soros
But the latest move by globe trotting, hyper-liberal billionaire George Soros borders on being too much. According to papers filed with the SEC, in the fourth quarter of 2006 Soros purchased Close to TWO Million Shares of Halliburton At A price of 31.30 a Share. That puts Soros' total investment in Halliburton at around $62.6 million, or about 2 percent of his total portfolio.
Soros, of course, is the dean of Democratic money giving. And Halliburton, of course, is the company that embodies everything the Democrats see as evil. Dick Cheney is its former chief, for goodness' sake. But Soros is also a man of contradictions. He supported Campaign reform until Defeating George Bush became an Obsession to him. To prove it, he sunk $24 million of his own "soft" money into the 2004 campaign, helping make that election one of the most divisive in modern history.
Soros' position in Halliburton is reported to be his first, which means he bought it with a full understanding of Halliburton's reputation. Soros may not see a problem with profiting from a company that has been accused of everything from sweetheart deals to cooking the books to serving U.S. troops lousy food in Iraq. The real question, however, is whether Moveon.org. or the Center for {gag}American progress, and other organizations that have benefited from Soros' charity will see a problem with accepting money earned off Halliburton shares? Hell no they will not have a problem accepting money from anyone.
