Thursday, June 30, 2005 GOP: Soros Can't Own MLB Teams b/c Liberal I didn't know that being a Dem or a liberal disqualified someone from being able to purchase and own something, unless of course you live in America. Some GOP lawmakers don't think George Soros should be permitted to purchase a Major League Baseball team because he's too liberal, and favors the decriminalization of marijuana, and clean needle programs, as a way to combat drug use. Hmm, let's examine this: W owned the Rangers, and he was a coke user, drunken driver, raging alcoholic, complete business failure (every single business he owned/ managed was driven into the ground), and Bush's MLB deals made himself at least $15 million off of the taxpayers' backs. And what about Marge Schott, the now deceased owner of the Cincinnati Reds who praised Hitler was a huge Nazi memorabilia collector, referred to Dave Parker as her “million dollar n**ger”, and refused to pay her staff and players competitive salaries, causing staff and ball players to leave the Reds? Tom Davis (R-VA) is trying to steer the sale of the Nationals and says Soros is just not the kind of person "we need or want in the nation's capital." Oh yeah- Soros, the billion-dollar philanthropist and Nobel Prize nominee- is not the kind of person we want owning a team. Hmm, didn't Bush say that all Americans should go out and purchase big ticket items to stimulate our post 9/11 economy? Well, maybe Soros is just a patriotic guy trying to do his part w/ a $400 million purchase ya A-hole. |
