Since Richard Poe went all drama queen on us when Republicans lost control of the Congress in 2006, we thought we’d check in with his personal blog to see how he reacted to the more devastating (to him) loss of John McCain in this election. He lacks the flourish of his previous citation of St. Jerome, but he gives it a shot, promoting a Human Events article in which he is quoted and asserting, “George Soros is Obama’s principal patron. He created Obama. An Obama presidency will be a Soros presidency.”
In a comment, Poe goes on to throw out some baseless speculation:
Soros’ long-standing support of Hillary was one of the factors which led me to write, “The Fix is in for Hillary“, back in January.
After all the time, money and energy Soros had invested in Hillary, I could not understand why he would suddenly turn around and support her opponent. For that reason and others, I presumed that Obama’s candidacy must be some sort of ruse or decoy — a ploy to give people the illusion that Hillary faced real opposition.
Now I’m not sure what to think.
If you’ll recall, Poe labored for several years at various David Horowitz operations — which are heavily funded by Richard Mellon Scaife and other conservative philanthropists — so his concern about billionaires having too much influence in politics is more than a tad hypocritical.
