[lbo-talk] Hastert: the Foley thing is George Soros' fault

[B.]

Did anyone catch this surreal video clip of GOP
congressman Tom Reynolds holding this post-Foley press
conference, surrounded by a battalion of restless
children? Reporter: "Who are all these children?
Should they be here?" Reynolds: "I'm not going to ask
my supporters to leave." [paraphrase]

It's crazy:

When asked about a groundswell of discontent among the
GOP's conservative base over his handling of the
issue, Hastert said: "I think the base has to realize
after awhile, who knew about it? Who knew what, when?
When the base finds out who's feeding this monster,
they're not going to be happy. The people who want to
see this thing blow up are ABC News and a lot of
Democratic operatives, people funded by George Soros."
