The End Of The Romney Campaign, Courtesy Of George Soros

Posted by on January 30, 2012 at 12:09 pm. 1 Comments :

The Tea Party contingent of the right-wing Republican set has long regarded George Soros as the mastermind of every evil they imagine has been perpetrated in America for the last half century. It is full-on fixation that connects Soros to everything from the Holocaust to Global Warming. And, like most psychotic fixations, it has no basis in reality.

Consequently, what could be a more damning allegation against a Republican than that they are allied with Soros? It’s the knockout punch. It’s the death blow. It’s the Newtron bomb. And it’s what Mitt Romney is staring down this morning. In an interview in Davos, Switzerland, Soros finished Romney off with these words:

“Well, look, either you’ll have an extremist conservative, be it Gingrich or Santorum, in which case I think it will make a big difference which of the two comes in. If it’s between Obama and Romney, there isn’t all that much difference except for the crowd that they bring with them.”

That settles it. Romney is toast. How could he possibly survive such a wound?

But there must be more to this than what is observable on the surface. After all, if Soros is the evil genius the right believes him to be, then to what end would he make such a comment? He certainly knows how his opinions are magnified through his web of media minions. There can be only one possible answer. Soros is deliberately sabotaging Romney. He wants Gingrich to be the GOP nominee because he knows that Gingrich will not only lose the race for president, but he will also likely cause the loss of the GOP control of the House and much of their power in the states.

It’s a devious plot that has already taken in Gingrich, who quickly jumped on the story and is excitedly pushing this quote to the press. It will probably become a part of his stump speech, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it featured in his next TV ad. It’s just too juicy a plum to leave dangling.

The Soros Fixation is so toxic that it causes hallucinations in those infected. For instance, conservatives are convinced that Soros commands a media empire that blankets the planet despite the fact that he has zero interest in any prominent media enterprise. He may have donated large sums of money to Media Matters and NPR, but he has no editorial authority over them, and they are not exactly the equivalent of Time Warner or NBC News. That is starkly distinct from the influence of a mogul like Rupert Murdoch who is directly in charge of a worldwide criminal … I mean media conglomerate.

The depths of the Soros fixation are nearly immeasurable. Cliff Kincaid, the director of the right-wing Accuracy in Media actually argues that Soros is pursuing an acquisition of Fox News and that he is “getting his way.” Kincaid believes that it was Soros who pressured Fox to dump Glenn Beck, and he is now trying to launch an effort to force the network to rehire Beck. Says Kincaid…

“It’s time for Glenn Beck, now on Internet TV, to return to the cable channel so that he can continue his investigative journalism into the rapidly expanding influence of the Soros network of organizations.” […He continues…] “Fox is moving to the left and filling its ranks with the kind of shallow commentators we have come to associate with the little-watched cable channel MSNBC.”

That quixotic fantasy reveals just how severely the fixation has damaged some sufferers. When someone can seriously portray Beck as an “investigative journalist” and Fox as “moving to the left,” you know it’s time to increase the dosage. And the notion that any of the brass at Fox want Beck back is belied by the fact that, in their separation announcement, they said there would be specials and documentaries from Beck, but none have materialized.

The question is: Will the right be fooled by this attempt by Soros to deep-six Romney and, subsequently, Republican hopes for retaking the White House? And the answer is: Of course they will! Once the name Soros has entered their psyche they lose what little cognitive ability they had. For Romney to recover from the devastating impact of this blow will take superhuman strength (which Romney lacks) or buckets of cash (which Romney bathes in).

Either way it affirms the mental and strategic superiority of George Soros who is capable of upending his enemies anytime he wants. Other political players could learn from this example. Nancy Pelosi, for instance, could doom the career of any Republican she chooses by simply endorsing them. And if President Obama were to come out against raising taxes for the rich, there would be a GOP drafted bill to do just that on his desk by the next morning.

Battlefield America: GOP Confederate Allen West Declares Civil War

Allen West is representative from Florida’s 22 district with a unique vision of America. It’s a vision that permits only his interpretation of what constitutes American values. Stray from West’s dictatorial creed and you are not fit to be an American and must be banished. Never mind free speech and other Constitutional guarantees of liberty, it is West’s proclamation of patriotism that counts and nothing else. In that spirit West told his comrades at a Republican Party event (video below) that…

“This is a battlefield, that we must stand upon. We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let them know that Florida ain’t on the table. Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America.“

In that short paragraph West has expressed a perverted view of Constitutional liberties, denied the freedom of expression to elected representatives, and asserted what amounts to a declaration of civil war. This beacon of intolerance cannot grasp the the fact that his disparagement of his perceived political enemies in Washington, extends to the millions of Americans who voted for them. He might as well be telling half the nation to get the hell out of the nation.

West is serving his first term in the House, and maybe his last if his district has any sense. His brief time in public service follows a military career that ended in disgrace after he interrogated an Iraqi police officer (who was never found to have done anything wrong) by firing a bullet just past his head. Since becoming a congressman West has made an embarrassing spectacle of himself by hiring an aide who riled up a Tea Party rally by saying that “If ballots don’t work, bullets will.” And despite his collegial reference above to his “dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee,” he previously said this about her:

“You [Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz] are the most vile, unprofessional, and despicable member of the US House of Representatives.”

West also seems to have caught Nazi Tourette’s Syndrome from Glenn Beck. He can’t seem to stop using Nazi references almost every time he stands to speak. Here’s an example that Fox News was so impressed with they featured on their Fox Nation web site:

Fox Nation - Allen West Nazi

There many more examples at the link above. This is the character of Allen West. He is a disreputable purveyor of hate and an advocate of violence and suppression of free thought. The good news is that he is also a vulnerable incumbent who is likely to be a one-term congressman.
