Sixty, somethings are best not seen. Might work for those who want to loose some weight.
Meade showed up to point out the Trump 300 was posted by some Ayran Group. I would not know about that, but since it does not appear to have been posted by a dog man love group--I assume Meade is not involved.
I wondered about the obsession with filling in the faces of almost every adversary with (more-or-less) obscure Jews. And then I checked out who uploaded it.
Most "evil" results from incompetence alloyed with mental instability, cowardice, collective political laziness and greed, and is perpetuated by a several corrupt people and institutions. He has not fought for some "right" to pollute or to re-segregate schools, as some of your friends have done, or to buy off efforts to keep the major investment banks from running the working man's economy into the ground. The only remotely controversial things I'm aware of that he's done is to speculate on the stability of foreign currencies (such as these heroes didin their own country), and not promote conservative causes. Which doesn't really count as "evil" to most non-despots.
So I'm going to chalk up your need to direct your identification of all the evil in the world into the embodiment of his own person to this strange, recurring issue you seem to have with a certain tribe of people that seem to have been a convenient scapegoat historically. And I'm sure the uploader of the video, who goes by the name "Aryan Wisdom," would probably see it that way, too.
R&B: Why are you trying to tie criticism and general disrespect for an individual like George Soros with antisemitism?
Probably because an actual good reason is never given.
But "Aryan Wisdom" seems to have thought he was a good choice. What's your reason? I think I have an idea what "Aryan Wisdom's" reason is.
I already noted that his involvement in currency speculation seems controversial. But then where's the hatred for the boys who pulled off The Big Short?
If a country is destined to bring its economy down through turning its banks into a ridiculous Ponzi scheme, what "loyalty" do the people owe to what that country's doing?
Of course, this is all just further speculation in itself. Until you tell me what Soros has done - that's somehow "worse" than all the things you complained about your California senators doing - (or, I guess, just being) - then I can't know.
Why don't you just explain it. I realize the right-wing seems to have this fetish for him. I don't get it. I welcome you to be my translator for decoding these grievances. What's it all about?

I disagree with the goals of many of the organizations which he nurtures and keeps alive: link. We could probably discuss each one on its merits, but I'll let you single out one which you think invaluable. Who knows, maybe we'll agree on something!
That's nearly a hundred organizations! Billionaire philanthropists have a tendency to donate prodigiously, but how am I supposed to weed through which of these makes him "Mr. Evil"? None stood out immediately - or even really at all, although I did notice that the "Y" (YWCA) was on there. Is that really an evil organization, now? I remember the YMCA and YWCA were very prominent when I was growing up; didn't notice anything nefarious about them then or now.
Seriously, which of them is such a problem... let alone the marker to make of him the new Lucifer in the flesh? (Or whatever it is that Boehner called Ted Cruz...)
To be honest, I don't see a good one in the bunch. Odd that he'd support the YWCA and not the YMCA until you read that it's because the former wants unrestricted and free abortions.
If you can name a more generous and leftwing only "philanthropist" than Soros, I'll gladly brand him or her the "focus of evil."
BTW, isn't it odd that Soros would give money solely to leftwing organizations? I much prefer donors like Trump who seem more even handed. As you perhaps can tell from TOP, I've even begun criticizing exclusively rightwing donors like the Kochs.
You really are a strange person (to me), Chickie. So concerned about whether some rich dude's contributions are "right wing" or "left wing" instead of whether they are good or bad. Are you now of the belief that 28 day old embryos are people? Ok, I guess you can now credibly claim that you see the venerable Young Men's/Women's Christian Association as bad. What about the others? I mean, to qualify as "evil", I'd think that more than one activity of one philanthropists lists of hundreds of organizations should be really, really, very quite objectionable.
Koch, he/they are for some things that I think are decent and rational, like doing away with mandatory drug sentencing, mass incarceration, etc. Other things I think are abhorrent (pushing pollution, efforts to re-segregate NC schools). So I've said so.
But I never heard you rail against abortion. And with your comment above, you seem to be saying people can't be "right wing" or "left wing". But it's the media that assigns those labels, anyway. Why do you care who's what?
It's not a citizen's job to push for false political "balance" in politics, or in media, or for what other citizens believe and contribute to (no matter how rich or poor they are). That's the politicians' job. I've said that forever. We elect them and elections are a form of hiring. It's their job to figure out how to work together. Not ours.
So fall into the ideological referee role if you must. It sounds like a fool's errand to me, though.

Didn't I start out by calling Soros "evil"? Evil is bad. You seem overly concerned with the term evil -- I'm guessing because you construe it religiously.

Is it? How so? I've always known what I've stood for. At least, I think I have.
Have I ever told other people (or myself) that we must strive for a balance of political views, though?
I don't remember saying that. Perhaps I have. But it sounds more like what the phony media and journalists and GOPe and establishment Democrats do. Usually to embarrassing failure.

I'm using it entirely secularly.
Also, that's the complaint. Are you really saying that being too right-wing or left-wing is precisely how you define evil (or bad)? Or even just one way of doing it?
I think people who are stuck far at the edge of some political camp are usually stupid. But not usually evil, AFAIK.

But Soros, who does appear to be hopelessly stuck at one edge of politics, cannot credibly be stupid. Therefore he must be feigning stupidity which is evil. Perhaps he's like Zuckerberg whose every political agenda is solely designed to enrich himself.
This right wing v left wing obsession is tedious, myopic, and destructive. I had lunch in a trendy, left wing, town along the coast the other day. The food was good. WTF else matters. But people on both sides of the spectrum want to CONTROL everything, including where you travel or go for a fucking meal. We know this vapid woman who always rants about "Texas." She claims she drove 300 miles out of her way to avoid driving through Texas. I bit my tongue the first few times but then I spoke my piece. I am FED UP w/ this little minded horseshit from both sides. I have been to all but 3 states. There is good and bad in all. When I hear people badmouthing Texas or Massachusetts I won't to pimp slap the worthless weasels. BASTA! They're all snobs.

Oh for god's sake.
Therefore... the transit of mercury across the sun means that we will eat fish tomorrow.
Your mind really is filled with more slippery slopes than anyone can really go through.
I find that video funny. Sometimes comedy needs to not be overly one sided so fans and critics can laugh at the same thing. Meade contends merely posting that is associating with racists (the creator of the video was apparently "Aryan Wisdom"). I disagree. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
And Nick, I have plenty of friends who make Bernie Sanders seem downright conservative. They are still my friends.
People don't want to discuss the movie, Evi. It's tainted. Look at my stalemate up thread with R&B. A person can't even criticize George Soros without hinted at being anti-semitic. It's a sad PC state of things.

But, as they fought on land, Themistocles was winning the Battle of the Artemesium Strait and saving Greece.
Never a big fan of last stands myself. Sometimes they can't be avoided, but better to be the one who returns.
It cracks me (and Troop) up. I combined it with Hillary twerking (ed you might enjoy that).
The Hillary twerking one you have on your blog is classic.
Everyone should visit your joint to check it out.
No, no we shouldn't. The mere thought of such a thing nauseating.
I like the Star Wars parody better - but this one is good too.
I have a hard time thinking the One True Ted thought a Mambo Kings ticket would work.
Seems to me even the Cruzzers would reject that.

Raise your voice if you think George Soros has been great for America!
R&B: Why are you trying to tie criticism and general disrespect for an individual like George Soros with antisemitism?
I mean, I realize the Soros supports a lot of your pet causes like unrest in Ferguson, but come on!
