    Default Democrats Super Pac Receives $1 Million From George Soros

    Billionaire financier George Soros has donated $1 million to the left-leaning super PAC American Bridge, a source with the organization said Monday.

    The donation marks the first major foray into the 2012 presidential race for Soros, a high-profile supporter of President Barack Obama. In 2008 Soros helped the president raise a record amount of campaign cash.

    In a statement, American Bridge's founder David Brock said Soros' donation would help his organization influence the 2012 election.


    "American Bridge is committed to being a permanent part of the progressive community by providing strategic support to organizations across the country and working to influence elections in 2012 and beyond," Brock wrote. "Thanks to investments by progressive leaders like Mr. Soros we have been able to build a cutting edge organization that we will continue to build upon in order to keeping providing effective and efficient services to the progressive movement."


    Soros has been critical of Citizens United, the 2010 Supreme Court decision that made possible the creation of super PACs, which are allowed to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money on a candidate as long as they don't coordinate with campaigns. In February, told CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS" the new political organizations would "create an unequal playing field, which will further destroy the political system."


    He made the comments shortly after Obama's re-election team announced it would urge donors to contribute to a super PAC supportive of the president's candidacy called Priorities USA. Records filed with the Federal Election Commission in April show Soros has not yet contributed to Priorities USA.

    where are all the democrats/liberals who were ranting about superpacs being an extreme violation now?
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Here is the old false hypocrisy charge again. Look, SuperPacs are legal and the Republicans are going to continue funding the shit out of them. It isn't hypocrisy to say they should be illegal while using SuperPacs. The Democrats don't have to unilaterally disarm.

    there are half a dozen other issues that have been debated with one side or the other whining about it's illegality while simultaneously using it, but then i'd have to listen to bullshit calls of 'false equivalency', right darla?

    I don't know, I can't make sense of your statement. Are you making false equivalences?

    no, but you like to claim people do when they tear apart your positions on rights being absolute or not based purely on gender.
