Yesterday Newsbusters<\/a> posted an article about the indictment of Texas<\/a> Governor Rick Perry<\/a>. It is not news to anyone that this indictment is politically motivated. According to Newmax<\/a>,\u00a0 Harvard Law<\/a> professor Alan Dershowitz<\/a> told Newsmax TV’s<\/strong><\/a> “America’s Forum” that the governor’s indictment was driven by politics and is representative of “what happens in totalitarian societies.” What also needs to be reported is the money funding the group behind the indictment.<\/p>\n

Newsbusters reports:<\/p>\n

Sometimes it seems like there isn\u2019t a single political issue that a Soros-funded group isn\u2019t involved in. Texans for Public Justice<\/a>, one of the groups behind Rick Perry\u2019s indictment charges, is part of a \u201cprogressive\u201d coalition that has received $500,000 from liberal billionaire George Soros<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

…According to KXAN<\/a>, a local NBC affiliate in Austin, Texans for Public Justice filed a complaint against Perry in court last June<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to an Open Society Institute<\/a> press release<\/a>, OSI has given $500,000 to help form a coalition that \u201ccould change the way the progressive community engages public policy in Texas.\u201d Besides Texans for Public Justice, this coalition includes Texans Together, the Sierra Club, Texas Legal Services, La Fe Policy Research and Education Center, Public Citizen, and the Center for Public Policy.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even some liberals have defended Rick Perry and dismissed the indictment charges as politically motivated. Obama senior aide David Axelrod defended Perry on Twitter, tweeting that \u201c[u]nless he was demonstrably trying to scrap the ethics unit for other than his stated reason, Perry\u2019s indictment seems pretty sketchy,\u201d and MSNBC called the case against the Texas governor<\/a> \u201cweak\u201d and \u201cfishy.\u201d ABC, CBS and NBC have completely ignored<\/a> these liberal criticisms of the indictment.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

George Soros is not an asset to the American political system.<\/p>\n
