'''George Soros''' (born August 12, 1930 in [[Hungary]]) is an American businessman and one of the richest person in the world, his current networth is estimated to be at about $8.4 billion. George Soros' birth-name was '''György Schwartz''', he changed his family name in 1936 from Schwartz to Soros to avoid [[antisemitism]]. George Soros later said that he "grew up in a Jewish, anti-semitic home," and that his parents were "uncomfortable with their religious roots."<ref>{{cite|author=Slater, R. |title="Soros: The Unauthorized Biography", page 30 |publisher=McGraw-Hill |date= 09-30-2007}}</ref>

In 1947, George Soros emigrated from Hungary to England, where an event occurred that greatly influenced the development of George's personality and worldview. He broke his leg and was cared for by England's National Health Service, free of charge, while the Jewish relief agencies of that era did not offer him the help he believed they owed him. In that event was born Soros' favorable opinion of Democratic Socialism, and his negative view of many Jewish groups.

Soros' immediate family joined him in the West in the mid-'Fifties.

==Political Influence==
During the 2004 election, George Soros donated $23,581,000 to various 527 Groups dedicated to defeating President [[George W. Bush]]. Soros contributed $3 million to the [[Center for American Progress]] and $5 million to [[MoveOn.org]]. He was the founder of the [[Open Society Institute]].

In 2004 he stated that defeating Bush was "the central focus of my life," and "a matter of life and death."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A24179-2003Nov10?language=printer |title=Soros's Deep Pockets vs. Bush |accessdate=2007-09-30}}</ref>

==Halliburton==
Foreign Policy magazine editor Mike Boyer reports that SEC documents reveal that George Soros's Soros Fund Management LLC bought 1.9 million shares of [[Halliburton]] stock in the fourth quarter of 2006.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/node/3776 |title=Soros buys Halliburton |accessdate=2007-09-30}}</ref>

==Anti-Zionism Views==
According to Connie Bruck of The New Yorker, George Soros told her that "I don't deny the Jews their right to a national existence — but I don't want to be part of it." According to [[Joshua Muravchik]], Soros has publicly likened Israel to the Nazis. According to the Jerusalem Post, "Soros and his wealthy Jewish American friends have now decided to aim their fire directly at Israel . . . to form a political lobby that will weaken the influence of the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC."

== Liberal Views ==

George Soros has donated large sums of money towards legalizing the use of illegal drugs like marijuana and cocaine. He is a large supporter of the [[Tide Foundation]], a liberal smear group which financially supported and paid for the lawyer of a convinced terrorist.

Media Matters for America

2007-09-30T20:59:13Z

CO: adding information

'''Media Matters for America''' is an ultra-liberal organization with members in major media outlets which aims to highlight what it considers conservative misinformation in mass media organizations. Primarily, they target prominent conservative public figures, although Democrats and nonpersonalities are frequently criticized as well. They were instrumental in lobbying for the firing of [[Don Imus]] <ref>[http://www.aim.org/special_report/5390_0_8_0_C/ How Hillary's Hit Man Got Imus], Cliff Kincaid, April 17, 2007. </ref>, whom they considered a moderate who endorsed John Kerry for president in 2004.<ref>[http://hotair.com/archives/2007/04/17/video-tammy-bruce-exposes-far-left-outlets-hit-list-on-everyone-to-their-right/ Video: Tammy Bruce exposes far-left outlets’ hit list on everyone to their right,] ''FOX News'', April 17, 2007.</ref>

Media Matters since 2004 has monitored conservative media and attacked high-profile conservatives with provocative language and out-of-context [[quote mining]]. It is headed by [[David Brock]], a former conservative who claims he made up stories about such people as [[Anita Hill]], who charged Supreme Court Justice [[Clarence Thomas]] with sexual harassment during Thomas’s confirmation hearings. Brock developed a relationship in the 1990s with then-First Lady [[Hillary Clinton]]'s press aide, [[Neel Lattimore]], and came out of the closet, announcing he was a [[homosexual]] and joining the [[liberal]] cause. Brock later hired Lattimore at Media Matters as director of "special projects."

Brock is a self-proclaimed fabricator of lies who strong-armed sources that didn’t agree with him. <ref>[http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=20711 Media Matters: Defaming Journalists, Getting Sued], by Catherine Moy, ''Human Events'', 05/15/2007. </ref> While writing ''Blinded by the Right'' <ref>[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1058/is_23_119/ai_94639741/pg_1 Slime-master: inside the `vast right-wing conspiracy' - Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative] - Book Review, Christian Century, Nov 6, 2002 by Gary Dorrien.</ref>, Brock was hospitalized in a mental facility where he spent time in a "quiet room" and "had delusions, he thought people were trying to kill him," according to the Drudge Report. <ref>Moy, ''Human Events''. </ref>

Brock outlined his lies and conversion to liberalism in his 2002 book, ''Blinded By The Right.'' He launched Media Matters in 2004 after conferring with [[Hillary Clinton]].

“David Brock has invented a new form of political organization: a tax-exempt group that is subsidized by taxpayers while Brock gets to spew his hate/smears,” said Anthony “Andy” Martin, a journalist suing Brock & Media Matters for defamation.

[[Jamison Foser]] is described on the Media Matters website as having "served as Research Director at the [[Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee]] (DCCC) for the 2002 cycle" and is one of several staffers with connections to the faction of Democratic Party linked to the Clintons.

Glenn Thrush of ''Newsday'' has reported very close ties between Brock and the [[Hillary Clinton machine]], even noting that Hillary "advised Brock" on creating his organization. He added, "For her part, Clinton's extended family of contributors, consultants and friends has played a pivotal role in helping Media Matters grow from a $3.5 million start-up in 2004 to its current $8.5 million budget." <ref>[http://www.aim.org/aim_report/5541_0_4_0_C/ AIM Report: Hillary's Hit Man Strikes Again], Accuracy in Media, June 19, 2007.</ref>

For 2005 Media Matters of America showed assets of $6,344,165 and income of $8,489,663. The group has received money from extreme liberals like [[George Soros]], who help fund the group's smear campaign.
