Trump, GOP, labeled as antisemitic. Do not criticize George Soros.

Co nspiracy theories about Soros aren’t just false. They’re anti-Semitic.

He’s become the subject of escalating rhetoric on the right — including from President Trump — that posits Soros as a nefarious force, fomenting social dissent and paying members of a migrant “caravan” that has been the subject of intense right-wing fearmongering leading up to the November midterms.

George Soros 'Dripping with poison of antisemitism': the demonization of George Soros.

Earlier this month, Donald Trump repeated the familiar accusation that Soros pays for protesters, when he said that the “elevator screamers”– protesters who were confronting senators over their votes for Brett Kavanaugh, the then-nominee to the supreme court – had their signs “paid for by Soros and others”.

Republicans Refuse to Disavow Anti-Semitic Attacks on George Soros.

A day after the deadly shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, the head of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee refused to disavow a campaign ad linking a Democratic candidate to George Soros

There are plenty of more articles but I just wanted to give ATSers a small snapshot.

Would it be fair to say that it seems like a concerted or organized effort to further demonize and vilify Trump and the GOP either in general or ahead of the elections?

"GOP talking points"? The GOP has antisemitic talking points?


Alleged Synagogue Shooter Robert Bowers Endorsed GOP Talking Point That Jewish Groups Funded Migrant Caravan.

Tree of Life Synagogue shooting suspect Robert Bowers recently endorsed the conservative talking point that Jewish organizations and/or Jewish individuals have been funding the so-called “migrant caravan” of asylum seekers from Honduras.

This conspiracy theory was also recently floated by two prominent Republican congressman and President Donald Trump.

And apparently, now the term "globalist" is also antisemitic...?


Analysis How Did the Term 'Globalist' Become an anti-Semitic Slur? Blame Bannon

Is “globalist” a legitimate description of a person with a set of views with which one can either agree or debate – or is it an anti-Semitic slur?

Often times, certain topics are labeled as "antisemitic" or "racist" in an effort to silence people.

I guess we're no longer allowed to criticize George Soros or the "globalists"?

IIRC, there was even this idea that 9/11 Truth was "antisemitic"...


Two Years After 9/11, anti-Semitic Theories Are Still Going Strong

A survey published this week by the Anti-Defamation League finds that "hateful conspiracy theories" - claiming that Jews and Israel were behind the attacks in which 3,000 people were killed - are still being disseminated.

Well, if you criticized Obama you were racist.

The left has a very simple rule book.

And it's predictable.

Didn't Soros take money and belongings from his own Jewish people during WWII, when he cooperated with the Nazis?

I think that disqualifies him from being Jewish ever again. That's just me.

That would be like a Native American standing with the oil companies, while the rest of the Native Americans protest the pipelines. And then call yourself Native American.

I think going against the well-being of your people should disqualify you from claiming that origin ever again.

What sickos the media are. We'll send 'em a nice message Nov. 6.

It’s amazing to me that otherwise educated and intelligent people fall for it though. One can be both liberal leaning and recognize silencing and manipulative tactics for what they are. Both sides have an equivalent in some form (for ex liberals and many policies being castigated as ‘commies’)

It's a way to control the narrative, control speech.

And it is effective in that people still fall for it.

Agreed.

I really think that people have been so saturated with historical guilt and to a degree, indoctrination regarding identity politics, that their mind is conditioned to shutdown and go into scripts once social justice terms are used. For many it takes on almost an element of religiosity. Or many fake it and virtue signal to avoid being singled out or to gain social status within echo chambers. To your point, bad actors sometimes weaponize all this.

If anyone is antisemitic it is the traitor who sold out his own people and his country to the Nazis.

He left pretty quickly when the Soviets were about to turn up. Can't imagine why...

Oh what the hell else is new. The Left has been calling the Right racists, anti-semites, child haters, elderly killers, deplorables, etc forever. It just motivates me to keep voting for the Republicans.

a reply to: gladtobehere

Yes, those things ARE anti-Semetic when promoted by anti-Semites.
Seems to me that people who are NOT anti-Semitic but allow anti-Semites to continue to poison conservative narratives with Antisemitism need to be aware of the really nasty morons who hide among their ranks.

a reply to: DBCowboy

Well that’s because the Right is infested with white supremacists. Instead of cleaning house, conservatives knowingly and unknowingly spread white supremacist memes, talking points, propaganda, and hate speech.

You have white supremacists amongst your ranks and you are doing nothing about it. In many cases, conservatives defend white supremacists, either knowingly or unknowingly.

Then conservatives attack the Left over consevatives spreading hate and racist remarks. The cycle continues. Clean house and get the racists out of your political circles already.

a reply to: Swills

When the left gets called out for their obvious bias and manipulation, the funniest part is when actual leftists get on-line and double down on it.


Now hurry up or you'll be late defending the left and Louis Farrakhan.

a reply to: TerryMcGuire

What conservative anti-Semitic narrative? The only narrative I see that could be considered anti-Semitic is the hate speech from CNN and the left directed at Israel calling them baby-killers as regards Palestine.

You know who controls you when you are no longer able to criticize them.

And yet their accusers never say snip about Farakkan.

Hypocrites.

Ooooh I know that quote... Kevin Alfred Strom. A Neo-Nazi leader and writer from Alaska. He was talking about the Jews with that quote. It also gets wrongly attributed to Voltaire since no one wants to quote a Nazi.

Don't care who said it, because in this day and age there is a hell of a lot of truth to it.

Wait... riddle me this...


Who is the staunchest supporters of Israel and the Jewish State (hint, look at my Avatar).

Now, who are all the organizations protesting, boycotting, and demonizing Israel? Sure as hell is not Republican.

Thumbs up for you, it's important to stick to your beliefs. And it's the exact same day and age. He was born in 1956.

Here is the original:

“To find out who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”
- Kevin Alfred Strom
