Soros-funded group planting anti-Brown videos

Soros-funded group planting anti-Brown videos


Powerful national progressive interests fund the left-wing messaging operation in Massachusetts behind an anti-Scott Brown attack site, despite claims that the operation is merely a grassroots, local project.

Sponsors of ProgressMass include numerous members of the Democracy Alliance, the secretive network of wealthy Democratic donors assembled by billionaire George Soros in 2005. ...

ProgressMass focuses its attacks exclusively on Brown, creating anti-Brown videos that frequently appear on the homepage of the liberal Massachusetts blog Blue Mass Group, which feeds news items to the mainstream media in Massachusetts.

My problem is this: "despite claims that the operation is merely a grassroots, local project."

Which is it? A grassroots local project or massive out-of-state money? I don't care which, just present it as it really is.

Doesn't "Americans For Prosperity" claim to be grassroots?

My problem is that Soros has been very public about wanting to see the downfall of a capitalist America for decades and it's become very obvious over the past few years that anything he throws his money on is not in the best interest of our country.

What has that to do with my question? Don't redirect, answer the question.

I don't care if they are a Soros funded political group, just be truthful and say so.

It's not a redirect. I'm making my point, by asking rhetorical questions.

I have never seen anyone on the right criticize the fact that their "grassroots" groups (AFP, FreedomWorks, Crossroads GPS) are funded by the Koch brothers, Dick Armey and Karl Rove. Yet everyone on the right gets bent out of shape in world record time when they see the name George Soros.
