#1 Riddle me this...

Why doesn't the United States have a mechanism in place by those who become naturalized citizens are reexamined as to their actions in regard to the beliefs they espoused to become citizens in the first place?

If the sum of your actions since being granted citizenship are to subvert the constitution and government of the United States there should be a way to revoke that citizenship and expel the offender.

Disgusting.

#4 "...I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic..."

I think Mr. Soros has fallen well within this range of the Army oath of enlistment. He is a enemy.

#6 1. The Hamas position, of refusing to accept the quartet position, combined with the Saudi initiative in its current form, would start negotiations on a very unfavorable basis for Israel.
2. Interesting that Soros thinks no negotiation can stick that Hamas opposes, but doesnt seem to hold the same view vis a vis, say, Likud. Ultimately if Fatah makes peace, and Hamas THEN attempts to undermine Fatah, it will be up to the international community to back up Fatah.
3. Its not surprising that Soros is taking this position. The question will be, how much does this make him untouchable in Dem politics?

#9 "Respect" and "Hamass" don't belong in the same sentence.

Except in England, that is.

Billionaire's Comments on Aipac Are Scored

By ELI LAKE
Staff Reporter of the Sun
March 21, 2007

WASHINGTON Leading Democrats, including Senator Obama of Illinois, are distancing themselves from an essay published this week by one of their party's leading financiers that called for the Democratic Party to "liberate" itself from the influence of the pro-Israel lobby.

The article, by George Soros, published in the New York Review of Books, asserts that America should pressure Israel to negotiate with the Hamas-led unity government in the Palestinian territories regardless of whether Hamas recognizes the right of the Jewish state to exist. Mr. Soros goes on to say that one reason America has not embraced this policy is because of the influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Yesterday, Mr. Obama's presidential campaign issued a dissent from the Hungarian-born billionaire's assessment. " Mr. Soros is entitled to his opinions," a campaign spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, said. "But on this issue he and Senator Obama disagree. The U.S. and our allies are right to insist that Hamas a terrorist organization dedicated to Israel's destruction meet very basic conditions before being treated as a legitimate actor. AIPAC is one of many voices that share this view."

The Soros article puts Democrats in the awkward position of choosing between Mr. Soros, a major funder of their causes, and the pro- Israel lobby, whose members are also active in campaign fund-raising. Pressed by The New York Sun, some Democrats aired their differences with Mr. Soros.

Rep. Robert Wexler, a Democrat of Florida who sent out an e-mail to Jewish supporters in his home state last week vouching for Mr. Obama's pro- Israel bona fides, said he too rejected Mr. Soros's comments. " Senator Obama says until the Palestinian government fulfills all three of the quartet requirements, the United States should not and would not recognize the Palestinian government. Senator Obama is clear, Mr. Soros appears to have a different position," Mr. Wexler said. "I agree with Senator Obama and have felt that way for a long time."

#12 My guess = Hilary will press Obama to make a much stronger, much clearer disavowal of Soros. Not just the wimpy statement above.

Garsh, wouldn't that be caving in to the demands of those who wish to restart the Holocaust? Doesn't that violate a host of moral and ethical tenets all at once? Shouldn't Soros just go and piss the hell off?

#18 It looks like Mr. Soros is starting to force a real separation between himself and any Democratic candidate with real intentions of winning the presidency. About bloody time.
