FRONT PAGE CONTRIBUTOR

Soros-funded Gigi Sohn falsely accuses me of being AT&T funded

RESIZE: AAA

Gigi Sohn talked to Personal Democracy Forum about the work she does at her organization, Public Knowledge. She took time to call out RedState and Less Government. Here’s my hastily-created transcript of the key passage around the 28:00 mark:

[On AT&T/T-Mobile] We often get attacked by the right-wing press, folks like, you know, RedState and Less Government, so I’m constantly dealing with attacks fully funded by AT&T – it’s like not even a secret – calling us, you know, Soros-supported Marxists and Google shills and all these kind… So, I mean I don’t want to respond to those things, but they shape the debate. They’re out in the air.

She says RedState, but at RedState I’m the one who posts on these issues, and mostly in my Tech at Night series. In that series I do highlight repeatedly that Public Knowledge takes money from George Soros‘s Open Society Institute. This is a documented fact on their own webpage.

However I don’t get paid a dime by AT&T. I don’t make a penny off of my tech policy writing. I don’t work for AT&T and never have. I don’t accept money from them and never have, not directly or indirectly. I’m one guy who devotes a few nights a week to studying and writing about these issues, and the fully-funded, paid professional Gigi Sohn feels the need to single me out.

I actually am looking for work in the DC or Austin areas to fund my escape from California. So if AT&T did want to hire me, well, serious offers would be listened to. Heck, if Sprint Nextel wanted to hire me, I’d listen. But the fact of the matter is, I’m a lone amateur. I’m not corporate funded and I’m not foundation funded. RedState doesn’t even pay its writers, let alone AT&T.

And that’s the whole story.

    You should actually consider this a feather in your cap. Since, as you put it, “the fully-funded, paid professional Gigi Sohn feels the need to single me out”, this will most likely lead to inquiries into your work, etc..

    Trusting that this will lead to you actually being paid for what you do.

    Sweet! Barry.

    this woman is to make such a claim. But that’s how liberals operate, they know how to hoodwink and conspire against conservatives with weak lies and no fear liberals will fact check them.

    These people plot and conspire against their own supporters using Alinsky tactics while not even caring that people deserve the truth at all times. Such double talking scum hurt this nation and plot as profiteers, deepen the debt while blaming only the other side and they proving greed is evil.

    Anyone who would take money or represent Soros the unrepentant Nazi Collaborator, known felon and a man who admits to starting riots, called a Economic War Criminal by the government of Thailand and having fun with riots is not a man of character. Soros is a known total sleaze and he’s as evil as the day is long.

    One other thing I’ve noticed about liberals like this, they tend to catalog people online to document them for other idiots to see. The Stasi did the same documenting every dissenting opinion while lying about them aka smear merchants. My twitter name is now listed by weirdo progressive groups who are in bed with Soros.

    I laugh at the names they create, Public Knowledge, MediaMatters, PublicPolicyPolling and MoveOn.orgy all Soros funded and corrupt as it gets. Those dumb names sound kind of hip but they sucker the tabula rasa’s and bully the media against the will of the majority.

    Time to register at http://personaldemocracy.com and embarrass them while pretending to be like minded.

    …I appreciate your work. To be called out like that is a sign of your effectiveness. After all, what we accuse others of is what we are, because we accuse them according to our own behavior and thought processes and worldview. Keep it up. And hopefully it will turn into a good-paying job. :)

    You don’t have to leave California when you have Bakersfield. Its a perfect example of Republican governance–in contrast to LA and San Fran–for better and for worse.

    You should read the rules on threadjack.

    I do have them all too often.

    You are getting their attention and because you have the better of the argument, the Left does what it does best…demonize you. the Alinsky model works well but not this time when you can get the facts out and we know who you are.

    but, due to circumstances way beyond my control, I have no choice but to stick it out here. It has gotten so disgusting living under the hand of the moronic left that I battle depression over it sometimes.

    Don’t see a way out short of a miracle of some sort. And that’s what makes it depressing.

    I live in CT, which gets bluer and bluer as anyone who can leaves for greener pastures. Even local govt.’s have gotten bluer. Classic liberal politics– create problems, then as they get worse and worse people reach out to government to save them.
