If you're liberal and you want people to know....

   ....about global warming, what do you do? [1]You pay a scientist to
   promote it.

     George Soros is known for funding groups such as MoveOn.org that
     seek to manipulate public opinion. So why is the billionaire's
     backing of what he believes in problematic? In a word:
     transparency.
     How many people, for instance, know that James Hansen, a man billed
     as a lonely "NASA whistleblower" standing up to the mighty U.S.
     government, was really funded by Soros' Open Society Institute ,
     which gave him "legal and media advice"?
     That's right, Hansen was packaged for the media by Soros' flagship
     "philanthropy," by as much as $720,000, most likely under the OSI's
     "politicization of science" program.
     That may have meant that Hansen had media flacks help him get on
     the evening news to push his agenda and lawyers pressuring
     officials to let him spout his supposedly "censored" spiel for
     weeks in the name of advancing the global warming agenda.
     Hansen even succeeded, with public pressure from his nightly news
     performances, in forcing NASA to change its media policies to his
     advantage. Had Hansen's OSI-funding been known, the public might
     have viewed the whole production differently. The outcome could
     have been different.

   If people knew all the sources of money for liberal agendas, this
   world might be quite a bit different. Liberals know they can't win on
   the merits of their arguments, so they distort the facts and lie by
   omission and comission. Meanwhile they receive enormous amounts of
   funding from wealthy elites who covet the power they would attain if
   they can simply fool the people into letting governments control their
   lives.
