Ben Johnson over at FrontPage magazine has a very good article on what was earlier reported here of the hostile takeover of the Democratic Party by the MoveOn group.
One significant fact that I failed to mention the other day is the George Soros connection to MoveOn. It is actually Soros' money that MoveOn is referencing when saying "We bought it, we own it" to the DNC.
According to Johnson, The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer (no conservative, she) quotes an unidentified friend describing the billionaire leftist’s modus operandi: “Money is just a tool for him. It’s how he manipulates a lot of things in his life.” Soros spent $18 million in his attempt to buy this year’s presidential election. Now he’s setting his sights a little lower, but his desire to “manipulate” our democracy remains.
This is definitely an area we need to pay close attention to folks...as Johnson concludes:
When asked why he dedicated so much of his personal fortune into opposing President Bush, Soros said, “This is the most important election of my lifetime. These aren’t normal times. The ends justify every legal means possible.” Presumably, including buying a political party. Having already “bought” the party, Soros now wants the Democrats to pick someone who will allow him to act as its absentee owner. He wants to place the party formally under the control of the Shadow Party.
“I want my ideas to be heard,” Soros has pined. If MoveOn PAC successfully influences the party faithful in choosing the DNC chair, Soros’ ideas may find a new outlet. That may represent a great return on investment for George Soros, but it would be disastrous for Democrats…and America.
