Normally I don't respond to such commenters, but this issue is important, so I'll just offer this:

Soros' difficult childhood is not exclusive to him alone. Thousands upon thousands lived that life too, including members of my own extended family, who stood up to communists and experienced far worse than Soros did. Stop making excuses for the man. It's an insult to everyone else who lived the same lives as victims of communism and the Nazis, but who aren't using their past horrors as a cover for manipulating people.

One man should never have as much concentrated power and influence as he does. Under such circumstances, even good people and good intentions can easily turn bad. Normally, the combination of free people, free markets and a diligent media keeps that sort of power in check. Unfortunately, as we've historically seen, sometimes those checks break down. Why should we allow that now?

Insert the name "Bush" in place of "Soros" and then consider whether people are justified in asking questions.

Let's remember, when an elected official amasses too much control and power, he/she is elected out of office. We don't have that option here. Speaking out and raising valid questions is the responsible course of action. Squelching that, however, is NOT.

PS - That gunman did NOT shoot up the Tides foundation, by the way. And in interviews, the gunman himself has said he was NOT inspired by Beck. That claim is a perfect example of the media's manipulation. http://www.examiner.com/sf-in-san-francisco/freew...

Yes, if you'd had the chance yet to read the actual full post online, you'll see that I completely acknowledge that. That misses the point of my whole article.

The difference is that the DNC did not always use YouTube for their White House town meetings and their press events, and Google for their news feeds in and out, or YouTube for Congressional addresses, or both for their "Organizing for America" platform, and so on. Hence the point that NOW it's a bigger deal - when the newspapers and TV fail, as they will (most already have), we are left with Google/YouTube as one of our remaining primary news sources. I'm just suggesting in my article that we might be a little less apathetic as a whole, and be a little more concerned that it could eventually become state-sponsored media.

Can anyone tell me how to buy Glenn's Common Sense in bulk? I've tried to purchase 50 to 75 as a donation for giveaways at a July 3rd/4th Tea Party. Most I can get from retail stores is 20 at a time - more requires special order and 12 weeks!

I've contacted everyone I know of (and don't know of) with Glenn's show or Fox News - I even tweeted some of them. Nothing from anyone. Jeez, you'd think somebody would be happy that a 912er wants to buy more than 50 copies of his book and give them away!!!!! What's up????

I was also hoping I could try to get Glenn to sign some, but at this point, I just care about getting the books!
