Talk:George Soros/Archive 3

message: I'm surprised that recent highlighting of his investing in this controversial military contract company hasn't been placed into the article.  Meh. I haven't the time this week, sorry.  If I wrote a quick one-liner it would probably seem terribly biased.
:Why is that? A quick line or two does not have to be biased, if not written in a biased fashion.--Samiharris 23:42, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Another editor beat me to the punch and correctly removed an unfair reference to Soros's supposed participation in "atrocities" during World War II. It is essential that such libelous accusations not be permitted in the encyclopedia, in accordance with wiki policies on biographies of living persons, BLP. This all took place when Soros was a child and are grossly unfair.--Samiharris 17:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wartime accusations 

message: George Soros, Soros on Soros, Staying Ahead of the Curve (New York: John Wiley, 1995)
Does anyone have this book, so they can check the quote used.. "When you speculate in the financial markets you are free of most of the moral concerns that confront an ordinary businessman.."
All sources are one article by Heather Cotin and contain personal attacks " Soros has a schizophrenic craving for unlimited personal wealth". Cheers Dmanning 09:19, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Criticisms..first source

message: Seems like someone was feeling very political when they posted that Fox News constantly attacks Soros due to his dumping of millions of dollars to beat Bush.  I'm not a fan of FNC, but comon....thats just blantantly out of place.  Sources?  While true that Soros did put in millions in an attempt to stop a Bush re-election, this Fox News comment doesn't belong anywhere on this page, at least while it has no sources to prove a "constant" attack by FNC on Soros.  And even if sources were found to prove this, a more correct placing for it might be on FNC's Wiki page. Eryk13 13:34, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fox News statement 

message: If ABC runs a story on Mother Teresa, should it go on the ABC page?
Fox is alleging that George Soros is the mastermind behind a huge political apparatus to effect US elections. If true, is this a news story? Is his background inconsistent with building political organizations to control national governments? George Soros is not Mother Teresa.

replies: text: Goggling the phrase "Anyone who purchased a home during the housing boom" got me only ONE result -- sending me back to this page! There could be some nowhere-on-line source for this statement: he could have said it to Tibetan monks who recorded it on a stone tablet and buried it at the foot of Mount Everest, I suppose. But until somebody produces the tablet, this just looks like a smear. --Christofurio 15:08, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The quote is definitely a hoax and should be removed from the encyclopedia if that has not happened already.--Samiharris 15:32, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
