Soros backed groups going after those who challenge radical Islam
Chuck Ross:
A non-profit group controlled by billionaire financier George Soros set out to conduct opposition research on a handful of critics of radical Islam, a newly released internal memo shows.The Soros-backed group was pushing the phony disease of Islamaphobia which they use to squelch legitimate criticism of radical Islam. They appear to be part of the left wing speech police who are intolerant of critical voices they disagree with.
The 2011 document, entitled "Extreme Polarization and Breakdown in Civil Discourse," is one of more than 2,500 files stolen from Soros' Open Society Foundations and published online on Saturday.
[dcquiz] It names prominent critics of radical Islam, such as Pamela Geller, Frank Gaffney, and Robert Spencer as targets for opposition researchers working on a project operated by the Center for American Progress (CAP), a liberal think tank that has received millions of dollars in grants from Soros' groups.
In the memo, Open Society Foundations (OSF) executives lamented that progressive groups and members of the Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian-American (AMEMSA) community lacked "high quality opposition research" to combat "anti-Muslim xenophobia and to promote tolerance."
To close that gap, OSF sought to provide a $200,000 grant to CAP, which was founded in 2003 by Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta.
The CAP project, called the Examining Anti-Muslim Bigotry Project, set out to engage progressives and journalists to raise awareness about the critics of radical Islam. In addition to Geller, Gaffney and Spencer, CAP planned to "research and track" the activities of David Horowitz, Daniel Pipes, Cliff May and Liz Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
