    Bully boy Hannity is on the beat, policing the media for libera bias

    "Sean Hannity is devoting his Friday show to a special on media bias. Not surprisingly, the special focuses on what Hannity sees as liberal media bias.

    The special is called "Behind The Bias: The History Of Liberal Media." In the promo, a narrator says, "Double standards? Groundless attacks? Blatant bias? Sean Hannity exposes the shocking truth.""

    Liberal internationalism, roughly. To paranoids, he's a satanic one-worlder.

    Remember the post-national, "deterritorialized" politics vy valorized in his Derridean harangue the other day? Soros supports arrangements somewhat along those lines.

    Not sure I would say that. Pound Sterling is an interesting notch on the belt.

    Soros is the resident wing-nut boogey-man, but hardly compares to a guy like Corsi

    George Soros has made his mark as an enormously successful speculator, wise enough to largely withdraw when still way ahead of the game. The bulk of his enormous winnings is now devoted to encouraging transitional and emerging nations to become 'open societies,' open not only in the sense of freedom of commerce but – more important – tolerant of new ideas and different modes of thinking and behavior.
    Soros supported causes...

    In an interview with The Washington Post on November 11, 2003, Soros said that removing President George W. Bush from office was the "central focus of my life" and "a matter of life and death." He said he would sacrifice his entire fortune to defeat President Bush, "if someone guaranteed it."[46] Soros gave $3 million to the Center for American Progress, $2.5 million to MoveOn.org, and $20 million[47] to America Coming Together. These groups worked to support Democrats in the 2004 election. On September 28, 2004 he dedicated more money to the campaign and kicked off his own multi-state tour with a speech: Why We Must Not Re-elect President Bush[48] delivered at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. The online transcript to this speech received many hits after Cheney accidentally referred to FactCheck.org as "factcheck.com" in the Vice Presidential debate, causing the owner of that domain to redirect all traffic to Soros's site.[49] Asked in 2006 about his statement in The Age of Fallibility that "the main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States", Soros responded that "it happens to coincide with the prevailing opinion in the world. And I think that's rather shocking for Americans to hear. The United States sets the agenda for the world. And the rest of the world has to respond to that agenda. By declaring a 'war on terror' after September 11, we set the wrong agenda for the world. [...] when you wage war, you inevitably create innocent victims."[50]

    Soros was not a large donor to US political causes until the 2004 presidential election, but according to the Center for Responsive Politics, during the 2003–2004 election cycle, Soros donated $23,581,000 to various 527 groups dedicated to defeating President Bush. A 527 group is a type of American tax-exempt organization named after a section of the United States tax code, 26 U.S.C. § 527.

    After Bush's re-election, Soros and other donors backed a new political fundraising group called Democracy Alliance, which supports progressive causes and the formation of a stronger progressive infrastructure in America.[51]

    In August 2009, Soros donated $35 million to the state of New York to be ear-marked for under-privileged children and given to parents who had benefit cards at the rate of $200 per child aged 3 through 17, with no limit as to the number of children that qualified. An additional $140 million was put into the fund by the state of New York from money they had received from the 2009 federal recovery act.[23]

    On October 26, 2010, Soros donated $1 million, the largest donation in the campaign, to the Drug Policy Alliance to fund Proposition 19, that would have legalized marijuana in the state of California if it had passed in the November 2, 2010 elections.[52]

    Supports legalizing pot, helping the poor, and defeating Bush...

    Not quite sure what you mean by that. I guess it would help to know your feelings on the Koch Bros.

    Dude knows how to invest.

    In late 2010 he invested in AMRN, a drug maker. They've gone from $3 to $16+ in 5 months.

    Wish I was more of a whale watcher, but it's not as fun.
