There Goes Any Respect I Had For Bill Moyers

PBS Commentator Bill Moyers: George Soros Has Been the ‘Victim’ of Glenn Beck and Fox News ‘Assassins’

January 13, 2012
Longtime PBS news commentator Bill Moyers said Friday that billionaire George Soros has "been the victim, of course, of Glenn Beck and the right-wing, the Fox News assassins."

Moyers made his comments in a discussion with Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington, during which he praised Soros, whom Moyers also said is "deeply troubled by the Orwellian power of the right-wing in this country today."

TRANSCRIPT:

BILL MOYERS: I’ll tell you somebody you could, you should go for, because he has given more thought to this than almost anyone I know: George Soros, believe it or not. George Soros, whatever you think about his wealth or his politics, George Soros was next to Vaclav Havel I think the most catalytic agent for helping to bring down the Communist government behind the Iron Curtain because he, he gave everybody who wanted one an equivalent of a Xerox machine, and so they could get the message out.

And he is deeply troubled by the Orwellian power of the right-wing in this country today. He talks about it. I was on his board for a several years, and I’m off now that I’m back on the air, but I was on his board, and he is deeply troubled. He is a great devotee of the open society, the society that does change because it listens to itself, and learns from its experience.

He's been the victim, of course, of Glenn Beck and the right-wing, the Fox News assassins. So he's thought a great deal about the Orwellian idea, and he said it has arrived in this country. It is here, part of the permanent, a permanent characteristic of American democracy which is therefore self-suicidally bent because of the power and force of propaganda. He’d be somebody I know would write you a really good piece for that.

Who had been a victim of whom?

 

When I hear about things like this it doesn't surprise me. Accusations fly all the time on these debates and "discussions" and Moyers is no exception. They all do it and that particular one is basically a slam on character. Let's see what they do when after everyone is accused by everyone else and the pointing of fingers is all over the board. What goes around really does come back around again over time. Nice job, Moyers. People really like that.

 

Yes, with all of his wealth and influence . . . I can tell Soros is suffering. *rolls eyes* What about all of the victims of our economy?
