Who are the Soros 70?

In an earlier post, we noted the coalescence of a new node in the Soros network — an assemblage of 70 radical millionaires and billionaires calling themselves the Phoenix Group.

The group met to discuss strategy under tight security in Scottsdale, Arizona the weekend of April 16-17, at a meeting organized by Democrat strategist and fundraiser Rob Stein, according to a report in The Hill.

Who are they? R. Thomas Collins of QuillNews notes:

"[N]obody will talk about this. The names of those attending [are] unavailable. Stein's spokesman refused to give details about the meeting, or discuss  specific plans. Like the Danny DeVito character said in LA Confidential, "it was all very hush hush..."  Though Stein's spokesman said `transparency' will be a priority.  Hmmm. 

"For starters, I think we can assume that the five largest 527 bankrollers in the `progressive' camp from the last go around will be involved.  In addition to Soros, who gets all the attention, are Peter Lewis, chairman of Progressive Insurance, California investors Herbert and Marion Sandler, who are co-CEO's of Golden West Financial Corp, and a B-list Hollywood mogul Steve Bing. These five spent $78 million on Democratic related campaigns in the last cycle, more than twice the amount spent by the top five Republican givers."

Mr. Collins refers, of course, to the "Gang of Five" identified by Byron York in his book The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy, and named by Clarice Feldman of the American Thinker.

This is all very well, but it is still speculation. What we need is hard facts.

Moonbat Central hereby issues an appeal to citizen journalists throughout the land to help us in this urgent investigation. Please send us any and all information at your disposal that might shed light on the identity of the Soros Seventy.

Our freedom depends on it.
