After all, George Soros did spend millions in an attempt to buy the 2004 presidential election for John Kerry. And Soros has lined up squarely behind Barack Obama in 2008. So I have to ask if Obama and other prominent Dems will denounce this comment made at the Davos Economic Conference in Switzerland.

"America needs to follow the policies it has introduced in Germany," Soros said. "We have to go through a certain de-Nazification process."

Now let's start with this question -- do Obama and the rest of the Dem candidates believe that "Bush & GOP=Hitler & Nazis" rhetoric is accurate and appropriate? Do they believe that America needs "de-Nazification", a process which, if implemented here as it was in Germany following WWII, would involve stripping Republican Party members and supporters of their civil rights and civil liberties, banning them from political participation, limiting their employment, and subjecting the media to censorship?

This is an issue with no gray area at all.

Either Barack Obama and the rest of the Democrat Party believe that Soros is taking a legitimate position in urging the suspension of the rights of American citizens because of their political beliefs and activities, or they do not. If they do, they must condemn the extremist rhetoric. If they remain silent, they implicitly support his call for the abrogation of the First Amendment government suppression of the political views of their opponents.

Who wants to bet that the denunciations will not be forthcoming -- either because they fear losing this big-bucks contributor, or because they secretly agree?
