Free Republic Can Barely Get up the Energy to Hate George Soros These Days

A now defunct investment fund owned by Goerge Soros once owned a plurality of shares in WellCare Health Plans of Tampa. Years after they sold all their shares, though, the company is being investigated by the FBI.

Pretty run of the mill byzantine business shenanigans. Something may come of this, I suppose. But I doubt it. For on, the thread has like 14 posts. The competing thread, which was frozen, has 8 posts.

Oh, there's hate, but it seems like it's phoned in:

The shifty bastard is overdue for jail or worse.

Yes, and I hope I am alive to see it!

"or worse" sounds like a death threat, but really, compared to a Hillary thread...

This communist wasn’t even American born and he’s been out there stirring up financial and political trouble for years. I hope his life is cut short (not tragically) and that he has to stand before God with all his monies left behind and nothing he can possibly do to alter his eternity!
Kinda crazy. The non American born charge was noticeable absent when discussing Arnold, current republican Governor of CA. And the idea that his life should be cut short, but that it shouldn't be tragic...can you say contradiction?

But where's the rage?

Well, this being Free Republic in this age of Republican fearmongering, there is paranoia:

Soros and the Clintons all want to rule the world. My bet is on Soros. I can’t wait for the dustup between Hillary and Soros to explode.

What about Bill?

The craziest post uses Hillary. Frankly, I am disappointed.

But the real question is why there isn't the passion for Soros here on the net. O'Reilly hates him; Limbaugh talks about him some, so why not Free Republic?

My initial idea is that Soros isn't public enough. To really hate someone, you need to see them often; each sighting fuels the hate. Soros, being private, has sucked all the oxygen out of the hate.

Time will tell if some pundit can start this fire.

UPDATE: Turns out WellCare is now owned by some Bush Pioneers! Hahahahah!
