[Must_B_Free]

Now the right wing conspiracy theories start up again. Fire up the black helicoptors and get the tin foil! We've got to protecto ourselves from a "Phantom George Soros"! Run for the hills!

[BlueEyedSon]

1. That man belongs in jail. DAMMIT! Isn't some of his behavior illegal?

[Cha]

2. I heard an o'LIEly nit in our store talking

about Soros and how bad he was one day..and I let him have it!

I said he's helping Dems and that can't be bad!

So this is one of Liarhead's big talking points..George Soros.

[fishface]

3. He meant a right wing Soros..

I thought he was pretty brave denouncing the ad. And Dick Morris even admitting he'd be scared to run it.

[jjmalonejr]

When even O'REILLY thinks this ad is a SHAMELESS hit piece...

...you know it's a piece of crap.

[fishface]

6. No one hear needed to hear it from him to know it.

Like he said, he's going to get a lot of hate mail from his own wingnuts..hehehehe

[Gold Metal Flake]

7. If he meant a right wing Soros, why didn't he say "a phantom Scaif"?

That asshole spins even when he pretends to not spin.

[fishface]

9. Well...he IS a Faux News employee...

[Gold Metal Flake]

5. Dang! There was a story on Yahoo a few minutes ago about

a Houston man funding the ads. Now it has disappeared! He was a developer, I believe.

Texan funds anti-Kerry vets
Houston Republican gave $100,000 to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth


07:30 PM CDT on Friday, July 23, 2004

By WAYNE SLATER / The Dallas Morning News


AUSTIN – Houston homebuilder Bob Perry, a major supporter of President Bush and the Republican Party, is the biggest financial backer of a veterans group seeking to discredit Democrat John Kerry's military service, according to federal records.

Mr. Perry gave $100,000 to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group that has been critical of Mr. Kerry's anti-war activities after he returned from Vietnam. That accounted for two-thirds of the organization's receipts to date.

Swift Boat Veterans for Truth also has hired a Dallas-area private investigator to gather information about Mr. Kerry's three Purple Hearts. Group members, including some who served with Mr. Kerry, argue he did not deserve the medals and is not fit to be president.

The Kerry campaign has accused Swift Boat Veterans of being a politically motivated group with ties to the Republican Party and the Bush administration. The Bush campaign says it is not associated with the group.

13. O'Reilly was denouncing the ad.

The freepers are pissed at him and some other FAUX News commentators for denouncing the ad.

You know the ad is bad when FAUX News commentators (except Hannity) are against it.

[Eric J in MN]

14. Instead of doing research and telling his viewers who really paid

for the ad, a lazy Bill O'Reilly just blames "a phantom George Soros."

[Must_B_Free]

16. I can;t wait til Scoob Doo meets the Phantom George Soros

Coin... Coin!!!

[AmandaRuth]

17. oh my gosh

if it is posted on yahoo who truly paid for the ad, would this not be a -- lie --- mr o really?

[UTUSN]

18. Effing O'LIELY Is in Pathological DENIAL

First of all, he PLAYED the ad (part of it? I came in while it was going). Thusly giving it FREE airplay. Then, when working-girl's-Toesucker MORRIS weakly attempted to say it was a BAD, DUMB ad just from its backfiring potential plus that the donors for the ad JUST MIGHT be traced back to the Shrub campaign, that the pattern of the SAME people donating to the SAME Shrub outlets is a CONNECTION---------O'LIELY kept interrupting. No, no, no connection, he said, it's OBVIOUS that the people donating to the swift boaters are people who SUPPORT Shrub!

Btw, they were running silent clips of the ad while the two operatives were talking. And O'LIELY said he would be GLAD to host the swift boaters and let them air their justifications. Why, what has stopped him so long?

[kskiska]

19. Dick Morris said he would never have run that ad

and that it was stupid – you don't attack a guy on his strong points. You concede the strong points and get him on something else. Said he would never even have allowed the ad to run. All it would take is a wink or remark at a cocktail party and their story would be blown wide open.
