In one of the more amusing attempts to discredit Glenn Beck’s week-long expose on billionaire George Soros’ unparalleled influence in global politics, Salon’s Justin Elliott reports that one of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin‘s aides is actually on Soros’ payroll. Scandal!
Uh, not quite.
-snip-
According to their website, Randy Scheunemann Orion Strategies performs a number of functions, including public relations, political consulting and even advertising. Needless to say, it’s a firm with a broad portfolio.
According to Elliot, one of the firm‘s clients is Soros’ Open Society Policy Center, an organization that “encourages Congress and the Administration to press the military dictatorship in Burma to restore political rights and democracy.”
Palin has not commented on the Salon report, nor do I expect her to. The fact that one individual obviously knowledgeable on international politics advised the one-time vice presidential contender is moot and extending this individual connection and extrapolating a wider relationship between Scheunemann‘s entire firm and Soros’ global business empire is a stretch, to say the very least. A further stretch is a conjectured connection between all of this and Beck’s thorough assessment of the controversial billionaire.
After an entire week of reporting the questionable agenda and unchallenged facts presented in Beck’s look at the “puppet master,” is this seriously the best, er, refutation (?) the left can come up with? Fighting facts with sheer (unrelated) speculation?

The progressives are jokes. This “Story” was the funniest thing I have read all day. Desperate desperate fools
We had more Freepers here trying to play it up as well
Yeah, well, pay attention to the ones playing it up, its the usual haters. No one in their right mind(Or wrong mind for that matter) actually believes for one nanosecond that Sarah Palin was somehow connected to Soros. This guy from what I remember, was the only one in McCain’s pathetic excuse of a campaign that said anything nice about Sarah. He was McCain’s guy, he is the one that brought him into her life, so if there are ANY questions about this guy, they should be asked to McCain since he is the one that knew him before Sarah Palin ever did
Add to it, McCain’s Reform Institute PAC has a history of being funded by Soros (OSI) in addition to many Soros friendly folks working in the McCain campaigns long before Sarah entered the scene. I beleive this to be the major factor with the inside sniping she encountered.
McCain is the dirty one on this issue and just because she agreed to be on the ticket, they are now using it as a spear to skewer her since she is far more a threat to their Zanadu than anyone in the public arena right now. McCain is just a powerful usefull idiot.

Thanks for the ping. It’s looking more and more like a coordinated attack alright. Best to shove it down the trash bin and move on to other things.
Dems latest attack on Sarah...’Epic Fail’.....lol.
