After reading this news I can only assume that Human Rights Watch is doomed.
Progressive financier George Soros’ $100 million donation to the Human Rights Watch advocacy group couldn’t have come at a better time — the human rights cause is losing ground worldwide.
It may be that the three-year-old world economic crisis has shifted rich countries’ attention to domestic bread-and-butter issues, or that former President George W. Bush’s 2003 invasion of Iraq eroded the moral authority of the United States — traditionally a major champion of human rights causes — to chastise human rights violators abroad.
I can’t wait to see the Soros -> Human Rights Watch-> New Black Panthers -> Barack Obama -> etc. connections to show up on Glenn Beck’s Chalk Board. Maybe Andrew Breitbart will release a tape of a lower level Human Rights Watch worker planning to slaughter Christian white people or something. Should be fun to watch – on Fox.
Human Rights are just a Soros front group.
I have to agree with this post. Since Soros is used to discredit groups he doesn’t fund, imagine what the right will do with an organization that publicly accepts money from him.
Even snark is dangerous these days. It used to be that life followed art. Now, life follows snark.
It’s The Onion‘s world and we are just living in it.
