Now, why would a liberal group lie about receiving funds from pro-New World Order George Soros? The Washington Post <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/29/AR2010092906378.html?wpisrc=nl_fed> reports: JStreet, an up-and-coming pro-Israel lobbying group, has attracted criticism from both its detractors and its usual supporters for allegedly making misleading statements about one of its top financial backers. *The liberal **group's Web site* <http://jstreet.org/>* suggested that J Street had received no funding from George Soros*, the wealthy philanthropist who serves as a bete noire for many conservatives. It also said that donors were "primarily individual Jewish Americans" and that it "accepts no funding from foreign governments or from foreign organizations." *But confidential tax records mistakenly made public by the Internal Revenue Service seemed to undermine those characterizations - causing a major public relations problem for the fledgling group, which has enjoyed regular access to the White House and senior Obama administration officials.* The tax records, which were discovered by the conservative Washington Times newspaper, showed that *Soros and his family had contributed $245,000 to J Street in 2008, and J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami acknowledged that the group has received $500,000 more since then as part of a three-year gift.* After the report was published, Ben-Ami apologized<http://www.jstreet.org/blog/?p=1232>on the group's Web site for "being less than clear" about Soros's support for the group. "I said Mr. Soros did not help launch J Street or provide its initial funding, and that is true," Ben-Ami wrote. "I also said we would be happy to take his support. But I did not go the extra step to add that he did in fact start providing support in the fall of 2008, six months after our launch." But Ben-Ami also said that many of the group's critics were attempting to use the donations to attack the group's reputation for ideological reasons. "I'm thrilled to have him as a supporter," Ben-Ami said in an interview Wednesday, referring to Soros.
