Right Wing Manufactures A Soros Conspiracy
Rethuglicans and the far-right groups that support them have been trotting out a familiar trope after the fight over the confirmation of drunken sexual abuser and partisan rageaholic Brett "KavaNut" Kavanaugh: George Soros was paying the anti-KavaNut demonstrators. Conspiracy spinners on the neo-fascist right use Soros, Hungarian-born Jew and progressive philanthropist, as a symbol of their slanderous "international Jewish conspiracy" nonsense. It's gone so far that Soros' Open Society Foundation has been hounded from his native Hungary by the neo- fascist, Trump- approved regime of Viktor Orban.
Neo-fascist sociopath Donald "Rump" Trump's despicable TV lawyer and deranged opportunist Rudy "Ghouliani" Giuliani claimed that the "anti-Christ" Soros funded the anti-KavaNut protests, a falsehood that was repeated by Rump before the confirmation vote on Saturday. Desiccated corn stalk and senile chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee Chuck Grassley said he believed the false conspiracy, too.
The rise in anti-Semitic activities after Rump's election has been pronounced, especially in the number of neo-Nazi and other anti-Semitic social media sites. The FBI also reported that hate crimes rose the day after Rump's election, with cases of vandalism, harassment, and assaults continuing as his supporters feel emboldened. Just in the past 2 days, a Jewish community center in Northern Virginia was defaced with swastikas, the second time in 18 months, just miles from the White (Supremacist) House. Incidents like this, and others where white supremacists are arrested for planning attacks on Jews and other minorities, happen on a weekly basis.
With Rump in campaign mode before the mid-terms, expect the surge in hate crimes and hate speech like the Soros libel to increase. These are the most loathsome of people, the public figures and the private ones.

A huge part of this equation that is seldom if ever brought up if the FACT media outlets allow these bastards to say things like this over and over with little or no rebuttal.
ReplyDeleteIf their bullshit was called out every time for what it is with the same ferocity we would not be standing in this Republican pile of shit!.
One Fly -- We're seeing the same thing every day: fearful media not calling out arrant bull when it's flung in their faces. It's about access journalism and moral cowardice.
ReplyDeleteThat's how the media propelled Stump into the spotlight and kept it on him day after day with no rebuttals.
ReplyDeleteThis is nothing new. Been like this for many years but in the last decade or so has gotten so much worse.
