Has anybody got any links to Soros dissing Haliburton? Does anybody know what he thinks of them, or are you ASSuming that because he supports moveon.org that he not a capitalist? I'd say that his $8 billion fortune suggests he is a full-on capitalist. Typical conservatives - like lumping every centrist/normal/liberal in one without looking into how each individual thinks. This thread is a typical example of such folly...

Soros has given millions to MoveOn, who have certainly had a lot to say about Halliburton:

http://www.moveon.org/moveonbulletin...html#section-5.

Oh, by the way, Soros isn't the only "progressive" darling investing in Halliburton. Michael Moore owns 10,000 shares as well: http://www.nationalreview.com/interr...0510250827.asp

Absent an on-record comment from Soros talking about Halliburton, I suppose it is not truly fair to call him a flaming hypocrite.

However, MoveOn is in a completely different boat there. Given their very public stance on Halliburton, I cannot see any honest out for them apart from returning Soros' cash and cutting all ties.
