Re: "but the old coot is funding the EXACT opposite types of organizations!" He may have given a million here or a half million there to some political candidate (like John Kerry, for instance) that you don't care for... but that amount is just POCKET LINT to a multi-Billionaire. (And there is also a couple of Billionaires --- the Kochs, to name just two --- who throw their political donations around in opposite directions, so it all comes out in the wash.) But really Soros has BARELY even focused much of his money on the US. (No real need: the US is already a Democracy and has free markets.) Over the 30 years his charitable foundations have been handing money out to human rights groups, parliamentarians and legal training institutes, Democracy advocates and nascent stock exchanges and child nutrition programs and whatnot... I'll bet that fully 90% or MORE of the eight Billion dollars his foundations have handed out has all gone into the former Iron Curtain nations to make sure their transition away from Communism to Democracy and Free Markets is successful, because THAT is exactly the MAIN FOCUS he has long had. Re: "but the guy funds Anarchists organizations is Democratic Countries! How else do you explain that?" I don't explain it because I don't believe it is TRUE. (You will have to NAME at least one or two of those supposedly 'Anarchist' organizations to me before I will believe that. Sounds like bunk.)
