Winger tries to connect Media Matters to George Soros

August 06, 2010 12:16 pm ET by Ari Rabin-Havt

Wednesday afternoon as our building held an ice cream social in the lobby, a young man showed up at Media Matters office armed with a camera.

Positioning himself outside our office, he asked people leaving the building what it was like to work for George Soros.

I decided to go have a conversation with him: I would like to note, no matter how many times Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilly says it, George Soros has never made a contribution to Media Matters. However, if he would like to make a contribution, he can do so at MediaMatters.org.

There is nothing wrong with tracking -- Media Matters regularly sends trackers to conservative events. If you are going to track, perhaps it would be a good idea to come prepared with more than a single question based on a false premise.

And when you are confronted with your own questions, have a better answer than rubbing your nose and mumbling.


Rightardia thought the young conservative man might have a cocaine problem. 
The young man who is the conservative tracker is the likely product of the American fraternity system. These ivory fortresses on college campuses across the US produce unthinking dullards like this tracker.


The GOP likes progressive bogey men like George Soros and ACORN. The conservatives  stereotype progressive people and organizations to explain how thy lost the last election.


GEORGE SOROS is Chairman of Soros Fund Management, LLC and founder of The Open Society Institute.


The Open Society Institute works to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens. To achieve its mission, OSI seeks to shape public policies that assure greater fairness in political, legal, and economic systems and safeguard fundamental rights


Mr. Soros was born in Budapest in 1930. He survived the Nazi occupation and then fled communist Hungary for England, where he graduated from the London School of Economics.

He then settled in the United States, where he accumulated a large fortune through the investment advisory firm he founded and managed.

Rightardia always looks forward to seeing Mr. Soros when he visits our Manhattan facility.  He is a great man. 

We heard that Mr. Soros had a wonderful time at the Chelsea Clinton wedding. 

We will also ask him to consider making contributions to Media Matters, an organization we admire. 


Mr. Soros is the author of eleven books, including most recently The Soros Lectures at the Central European University.
