A Penny Here, A Penny There

Financier George Soros is giving another $5 million to help oust President Bush from office. Soros has pledged to match every dollar given to MoveOn.Org with 50 cents of his own – up to $5 million. That brings his total contribution to defeating the President to over $15 million.

Overnight, Soros, 74, has become the major financial player of the left. He has elicited cries of foul play from the right. And with a tight nod, he pledged: "If necessary, I would give more money."

"America, under Bush, is a danger to the world," Soros said. Then he smiled: "And I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is."

Soros believes that a "supremacist ideology" guides this White House. He hears echoes in its rhetoric of his childhood in occupied Hungary. "When I hear Bush say, 'You're either with us or against us,' it reminds me of the Germans." It conjures up memories, he said, of Nazi slogans on the walls, Der Feind Hort mit ("The enemy is listening"). "My experiences under Nazi and Soviet rule have sensitized me," he said in a soft Hungarian accent.

MoveOn.Org is launching television commercials and voter registration drives aimed at electing a new President in 2004. Visit MoveOn.Org and learn more about how you can help.
