Billionaire financier George Soros blasted Fox News, Glenn Beck and Rupert Murdoch Sunday in a CNN interview, likening them to Nazis or the fictitious “Big Brother” of George Orwell for what he described as manipulation of the public. He also suggested that the tea party movement was deluded and should be pitied because they don’t "understand" the economic forces at work in the United States, according to CNN.

Last year, Soros donated $1 million to the liberal media analysis group Media Matters, which devotes much of its work to attacking Fox. For years, the group had denied being secretly funded by Soros, who stressed that this was his first ever donation to the group.

Soros took his shots on Sunday’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” on CNN, accusing Murdoch of using Fox News and his media empire to change the direction of government. He reacted to Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck’s assertion that there is a “shadow government” with puppets and puppet masters, and Soros is pulling the strings.

“Well, I would be amused if people saw the joke in it, because what he is doing, he is projecting what Fox — what Rupert Murdoch is doing, because he has a media empire that is telling the people some falsehoods and mis — and leading the government in the wrong direction,” Soros said. “But, you know, by accusing me of doing that, it’s kind of — it makes it rather hard to see that it’s really — he is working for the man who is doing it which is Fox News.”

“Fox News makes a habit — it has imported the methods of George Orwell, you know, newspeak, where you can tell the people falsehoods and deceive them,” Soros said. “...They succeeded in — in Germany, where the Weimar Republic collapsed and you had a Nazi regime follow it. So this is a very, very dangerous way of deceiving people. And I would like people to be aware that they are being deceived. Now, I — because I saw it as a child, I immediately react that way. But the people in America, they are innocent. They haven’t had the experience. They’re having the experience now. And I hope they wake up and they realize that they are being deceived.”

Zakaria asked Soros about his thoughts of the tea party.

“Look, I think the people in the tea party are very decent people, hard-working. They have been hit by a force that they — that comes from somewhere which they can’t fully understand,” Soros said. “And they are being misled. And they are misled by people who are using it for their selfish purposes, namely to remove regulations and reduce taxation. So reduce taxation and regulation and they are being used and deceived.”

George Soroa knows the Tea party is a party to reckon with on his plan to destroy the American economy, so he wants to try to get them on his evil, corrupt side. But, even though he has been able to buy Obama the Presidency and pull his strings it is not so easy to buy the American voters. Sorry, Soros, you may be rich but you are the biggest loser out there and you are not destroying this COuntry as you did five others or use your Nazi tactics on us and get away with it. We will destroy your Unions and throw your President out of office.

Rush has been saying that for years, whatever the progressives socialists are doing they accuse the Republicans of doing it first, because they know the people will find out.

What Soros and his ilk do not get is we of the TEA Party are in the lead. We do not follow anyone. We are individuals with the capacity for free thought. We are conservatives, who believe in and hold conservative values. Values first, party follows somewhere after that. Progressive regressives seem to think they must think for everyone else. That is not exactly the case. Someone needs to think for them, because they are incapable of rational linear thought. If they were capable, they would be rational linear thinking conservatives.

Maybe we could get one of the street corner physicians in Madison Wi. to diagnose this person. I think they share the same point of view.

He thinks we are all stupid as he tries to lead the sheep to the slaughter. He is a Nazi himself. A crazed little man that thinks he is God himself. May he see the fires of hell, soon old man.

Soros is an enemy of our country and an enemy to Western Civilization. Despite the billions of dollars he has earned in the Capitalist system, he aims to destroy Capitalism. He has given hundreds of millions of dollars to left wing groups in the USA and around the world. He is the Evil Emperor.

I'd rather follow the patriots than a cut throat looking to do harm to any one that he thinks he can control!

Its past time for his Cohort the Devil, to call his number!

Please don't talk like that, hate words are reserved for the Libs, we can't use them, along with a whole list of things we can't do, like play hookey, get into policy making meetings, complain about the non-see-thru transparency, blame anybody for anything, etc., etc.

Thank you Colorado43, I am glad you weren't offended, I actually meant it as a compliment, to show you were on the good side, with the honest people with integrity, and it shows that, Now it doesn't show what I was referring to, but it wasn't that bad...
