George Soros owns Halliburton stock

What will all of the Moron.org people think anout their leader buybig stock in the enemy.  Soros spent oer $24 million of his own money trying to defeat George W Bush in the 2004 elections. He is the one that gave Moron.org enough money to get onto its feet.  And Moron.org’s main target was Halliburton and McBushitler Cheney.  All the evils of the world rolled into one nice phrase.  So now we have found out that Soros has bought 2 million shares of the hated Halliburton stock.  Is he just tryingto make nomey off pf his enemies or is there some other kind of a plot he has for the Halliburton stock.   Soros made most of his money off of destroying countries currencies and is indicted in France for money fraud and other charges.

Soros buys Halliburton

Tue, 02/27/2007 – 3:22pm.

Normally, I’m willing to overlook the hypocrisy of the liberal elite. If Al Gore and his Hollywood cronies want to fly around on gas-guzzling, atmosphere-polluting private jets while railing against global climate change, I’m willing to overlook it.

But the latest move by globe trotting, hyper-liberal billionaire George Soros borders on being too much. According to papers filed with the SEC, in the fourth quarter of 2006 Soros purchased nearly 2 million shares of … hold your breath … Halliburton. The Halliburton shares reportedly went for an average purchase price of $31.30 a share. That puts Soros’ total investment in Halliburton at around $62.6 million, or about 2 percent of his total portfolio.

Soros, of course, is the dean of Democratic money giving. And Halliburton, of course, is the company that embodies everything the Democrats see as evil. Dick Cheney is its former chief, for goodness’ sake. But Soros is also a man of contradictions. He supported campaign finance reform for years, only to declare that defeating President George W. Bush was the "central focus" of his life. To prove it, he sunk $24 million of his own "soft" money into the 2004 campaign, helping make that election one of the most divisive in modern history.

Soros’ position in Halliburton is reported to be his first, which means he bought it with a full understanding of Halliburton’s reputation. Soros may not see a problem with profiting from a company that has been accused of everything from sweatheart deals to cooking the books to serving U.S. troops lousy food in Iraq. The real question, however, is whether MoveOn.org, the Center for American Progress, and other organizations that have benefitted from Soros’ charity will see a problem with accepting money earned off Halliburton shares?
