PBS Commentator Bill Moyers: George Soros Has Been the ‘Victim’ of Glenn Beck and Fox News ‘Assassins’

Longtime PBS news commentator Bill Moyers said Friday that billionaire George Soros has “been the victim, of course, of Glenn Beck and the right-wing, the Fox News assassins.”

Moyers made his comments in a discussion with Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington, during which he praised Soros, whom Moyers also said is “deeply troubled by the Orwellian power of the right-wing in this country today.”

Transcript below, via Newsbusters:

BILL MOYERS: I’ll tell you somebody you could, you should go for, because he has given more thought to this than almost anyone I know: George Soros, believe it or not. George Soros, whatever you think about his wealth or his politics, George Soros was next to Vaclav Havel I think the most catalytic agent for helping to bring down the Communist government behind the Iron Curtain because he, he gave everybody who wanted one an equivalent of a Xerox machine, and so they could get the message out.

And he is deeply troubled by the Orwellian power of the right-wing in this country today. He talks about it. I was on his board for a several years, and I’m off now that I’m back on the air, but I was on his board, and he is deeply troubled. He is a great devotee of the open society, the society that does change because it listens to itself, and learns from its experience.

He’s been the victim, of course, of Glenn Beck and the right-wing, the Fox News assassins. So he’s thought a great deal about the Orwellian idea, and he said it has arrived in this country. It is here, part of the permanent, a permanent characteristic of American democracy which is therefore self-suicidally bent because of the power and force of propaganda. He’d be somebody I know would write you a really good piece for that.

    George Soros SHOULD be a victim of his financial crimes and his Subversive crimes against American Democracy! Soros’ is a convicted currency and market manipulator! WHY ISN’T HE IN PRISON?
    He is an avowed Communist AND a war criminal from the holocaust. In his own words killing makes him “feel like God”. He is an International terrorist!

      “Soros ”is deeply troubled by the Orwellian power of the right-wing in this country today”.

      This has to be perhaps the most ironic statement I have ever read. Certainly the most Orwellian.

      That’s because when the finger of God is on people sometimes they feel like a God themselves. Remember, it is written in the Bible that the Lord sends representatives who will be like God’s. And also remember that the Prophets say woe to those who say the Lord will not do good, and neither will he do evil.

      I still find it funny that people call Jesus ‘Good’, when even Jesus himself said “Me good? There is only one good, the Father in Heaven.” And no I’m not saying that Jesus is Satan, but Jesus didn’t purposely expose himself to the trials of Satan. In other words, people are not supposed to be trying to seek shelter and security from the taunts of Satan.

Very soon satan will be cast down to this earth and then all hell will break loose. Havent you ever read in the bible where satan is cast out of heaven and thrown down to the earth having great wrath because he knows his time is short. He will do whatever he can to turn people away from God. God puts people in power and removes them to do His will to bring about the last days, we are living in those days now! God’s will be done!!

You ask: To not lead you into temptation, and to deliver you from evil. Because getting exposed to temptation, and to be exposed to evil is exactly what most of you need.

      I wish someone was on the scene to confront Mr. Moyers about all of the left-wing radical organizations that Soros is backing.

      Soros is the real-deal boogie man…he makes all of the James Bond villains look like wimps. This guy has made a hobby out of financially and politically destroying countries for fun and profit. And, now he has set his sights on destroying this country as the crowning achievement of his despicable life.

      Here’s a link to the website, Discover the Connections. It lists a large chunk of the Marxist, socialist, communist and fascist organizations that this evil man supports.

      IF you are the Bible scholar you are claiming to be — how about adding Chapter and Verse and Context to the alleged Scripture you are quoting?

      Even satan is capable of quoting Scripture. However, he takes it out of context and twists it to fit his own vile agenda. ie: Matthew 4:1-11

      IF you are claiming on here, that you are speaking for God — You Might Want To Make Sure That You’re Getting It Right. Scripture has a lot to say about wolves-in-sheeps’-clothing and false teachers and false prophets; and what is said there isn’t good, for them anyway. You Might Want To Check It All Out!

He undermines economies and makes billions in the process betting on countries to fail economically. Soros has spent hundreds of millions of dollars establishing hundreds of interconnected non-profit social organizations (such as the Tides Foundation) in the US to destroy our Democratic Republic Free Market Capitalist system in favor of a Socialist system.

And they hate that he contributes to causes he believes in. The Communists think he should give all his money away to rich people who he disagrees with. I simply hate that the communists/socialists/Marxists/ fascists are so envious of the success of a true capitalists. It’s envy, and the realization of their own abject failure to succeed in an opportunity society. Shame on you for being poor or middle class, instead of being rich.

I think Glenns detractors far out weigh anything that GB has reported AS FACT about Soros. GB reported facts about Soros so how is anyone to claim victim status on Soros behalf. The MSM never cease to amaze, but the underlings will go along with what Moyers and others have said because they are the high prophet of Leftism the Official Religion of the Left.

      Moyers is a washed up wealthy, lib elitist who caters to the dying off PBS gentry who still abhor to cherry picked negative events, such as Vietnam involvement, Watergate and the McCarthy investigations. He and his shrinking followers turn a blind eye to the rate increase of the debt, Solyndra & rampant waste of stimulus monies, the Clinton scandals, and plethora of Soros-related big money dealings. Unfortunately, both parties rely on the mighty dollar to win elections & power. Multi millionaires, Moyers and Huffington- “dahhh-link” really need to stop referring the U.S. as “a democracy”. We are a Republic. The progressive in this skimpy audience is an example, self righteously complaining about Bush/ Cheney while turning a blind eye to real villains.

    George Soros “Open Society” is about the Collective and not about the individual, America is a Republic that uses a Democracy, therefore it allows individual thoughts and discussion, therefore according to George Soros it is suicidal to the Collective but not the individual.

    America’s founders were very careful in drafting the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence and explaining it in the Federalist Papers, they wanted to ensure that America was not taken over by those who had a Tyrant Dictator vision of ruling the people.

    This requires people to function as a group of Individuals and not as a Collective, the Collective is equal to the Nazi way of thinking, the weak must be removed, only those who can benefit the Collective are allowed to remain. The original founder of Planned Parenthood also believed this was best for society and she founded Planned Parenthood in hopes of weeding out those she thought were not worthy of benefiting society as a whole.

    These people do not believe that everyone is created equal and therefore must weed out anyone who does not meet the requirements of the Collective.

      Soros – Bretton Woods Conference

      George Soros is holding his international conference this weekend, April 8th to April 11th at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. Of the many who were invited none of the true US and World Financial Experts will be attending. Bretton Woods is the historic site of the 1944 conference, which established the post-World War II international financial system. Soros is spending $50 million dollars at Bretton Woods to bring together up to 200 academic, business and government policy leaders (some from outside the US) to introduce to his Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET). This meeting was not recognized by the original Bretton Woods Council. Soros’ goal in association with a concurrent meeting of the Tri-Lateral Commission, in DC this weekend, is to dismantle our economy, dismiss the head of our current banks and create a new global financial system sabotaging our US currency.

      The attendees at this conference include three members of the Rothschild family along with their primary banker, four members of the British parliament, Paul Volcker, Harry Reid, Mitt Romney, David Dewhurst, former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and some World Bank executives.

      Soros came to the aid of Ron Paul in the last debate when Paul attacked Santorums’s record.

      Paul said that “…somebody did make a survey and I think he came out as one of the top corrupt individuals because he took so much money from the lobbyists.”

      That “somebody” was CREW, a Soros-funded group that targets Republicans and conservatives.

      Santorum shot back: “Let’s talk about the corruption issue. The person who—the group that called me corrupt was a group called CREW. If you haven’t been sued by CREW, you’re not a conservative. CREW is this left-wing organization that puts out a list every election of the top Republicans who have tough races and calls them all corrupt because they take contributions from PACs. It’s a ridiculous charge. And you should know better than to cite George Soros-like organizations to say that they’re corrupt.”

The chances are pretty high that they come up with a scheme to suspend elections if obama’s #s are bad. They have come too far to give up now. Soros is old. He wants his glory. So does obama.

      There is something seriously wrong with obama. There is darkness in him. A darkness that actually scares me. Most politicians lie or bend the truth. But I have never seen anyone lie the way obama does. His lying has no effect on him. One could almost say that he believes his own bs. And yet, he is completely detached from his own words. At best he is a pathological liar. And I bet he laughs all the way about what he has gotten away with. If you pay close attention you can actually see it sometimes when he suppresses the joy of being able to say certain things and get away with it.

      Obama is an enemy to the US. I would not be surprised if it turns out that the US was taken in a bloodless coup. I do not believe obama is an American. No matter what anybody says. Conspiracy or not. There are too many signs. Did michelle not say Kenya is obamas homeland? I think many people just cannot go there. It is the biggest humiliation one could face.

      Isn’t Soros a part of the 1% and therefore evil by default. Poor thing! What a misunderstood leftist billionaire. He‘s only trying to crash our economy just as he has crashed other country’s economies. How DARE the evil right point this out. They need to keep their mouths shut. He doesn‘t deserve the treatment he’s getting.
