Longtime PBS news commentator Bill Moyers said Friday that billionaire George Soros has “been the victim, of course, of Glenn Beck and the right-wing, the Fox News assassins.” Moyers made his comments in a discussion with Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington, during which he praised Soros, whom Moyers also said is “deeply troubled by the Orwellian power of the right-wing in this country today.”

Transcript below, via Newsbusters:

BILL MOYERS: I’ll tell you somebody you could, you should go for, because he has given more thought to this than almost anyone I know: George Soros, believe it or not. George Soros, whatever you think about his wealth or his politics, George Soros was next to Vaclav Havel I think the most catalytic agent for helping to bring down the Communist government behind the Iron Curtain because he, he gave everybody who wanted one an equivalent of a Xerox machine, and so they could get the message out.

And he is deeply troubled by the Orwellian power of the right-wing in this country today. He talks about it. I was on his board for a several years, and I’m off now that I’m back on the air, but I was on his board, and he is deeply troubled. He is a great devotee of the open society, the society that does change because it listens to itself, and learns from its experience.

He’s been the victim, of course, of Glenn Beck and the right-wing, the Fox News assassins. So he’s thought a great deal about the Orwellian idea, and he said it has arrived in this country. It is here, part of the permanent, a permanent characteristic of American democracy which is therefore self-suicidally bent because of the power and force of propaganda. He’d be somebody I know would write you a really good piece for that.

You can't deny that Soros was instrumental in bringing down the Czech regime and allowing the Velvet Revolution to happen. Can you?

No the Soviet government was instrumental in the Velvet revolution, their reforms were instrumental, the people in east Europe were instrumental, Soros was a side player.

I didn't say he was the only player but he had a large part to play.

Soros helped bankroll “Charter 77,” a 1976 document demanding that the Czech government recognize some basic human rights―most notably the freedom to express religious beliefs or political opinions without fear of retributive discrimination―that were already guaranteed by the nation's constitution. This Charter and the political movement that grew from it ultimately culminated in the velvet revolution that brought down Czechoslovakia's Communist regime in late 1989.206

Wow...that too bad.....its a damn good thing Sarah Palin and her entire family, Michelle Bachmann, Bill O'Reilly,

Rush Limbaugh, Mr. Beck, George Bush, Dick Cheney, and many others conservatives weren't the victims of main

stream media radio, tv, and print, cable news, MSNBC (Olbermann, Maddow, Mr. Ed, etc.),all late night comedians,

Jon Stewart, mad Bill Maher and other hired guns and character assassins of the left......(/sarcasm)

I don't disagree but should Soro's be that niave to expect anything different when he threw his hat into the political ring?

I can't believe a person of his success would be stupid enough to think that Faux News and their legions of morons would do otherwise.

He's an old world socialist......and being mega-rich, obviously also a hypocrite.
I can't believe he would shovel millions of his money into liberal/Democrat causes and organizations like he absolutely does (Air America for example) and not expect to be examined by reputable investigative news people.....he may be able to buy off CNN, MSNBC, ABC, etc, but he can't buy off FOX.....

ROTFLMAO....I have to admit.....there are some pretty dumb wing nuts on here Pavo but no one dumber then you. Let me ask you a question. How the fuck did that socialist become a billionaire? Do you nitwits even know what the fuck a socialist is? To you guy it's just anyone who opposes your goose steeping extremist right wing agenda. Good luck selling that to people who, unlike you, can actually think for themselves (as opposed to having Fox News and Rush Limbaugh do it for you.).

Can't buy Fox News? That's the funniest thing I've heard is a long time. Pavo you can't buy Fox News cause they've all ready been baught and paid for! LOL
