Update: This episode has been condemned by management and pulled from (re)broadcast. In addition, the anti-Semitic guest has been banned from all Fox channels.
The man our President calls “the great Lou Dobbs” has not been fired, although he has expressed similar ideas of his own. As you may know, “Soros” is a special synonym that neo-Nazis use because they can’t say “Jews” without severe repercussions. When they say “the State Department is occupied by Soros,” that is their way of getting “the State Department is occupied by Jews” into a public broadcast without facing a direct accusation of anti-Semitism (because they can deny that they meant anyone other than Soros, even though the point usually has no connection to anything Soros actually did or said). The term “deep state” is an even more cryptic and insidious way to say “Jews.” “Hollywood” is yet another.
Newsweek just published an article on the recent rise of anti-Semitism online.

Original post:
What the hell is wrong with these guys? Dobbs’ hair dye must be seeping into his brain.
Dobbs brought in one of the customary wingnuts to say that “the Soros-occupied State Department” is funding the so-called immigrant caravans. (See below)
1. This is the exact wild claim that inspired the synagogue shooter to start blasting away.
2. The term “Zionist-occupied government” is basically the official catchphrase of the neo-Nazi movement, and George Soros is their poster boy. In a way this is ironic, because while Soros was raised in a Jewish household, he is pretty much always at odds with Israel.
That might be worse. If true, it may be that very clip that caused the guy to flip out.
– and then to re-run it while people are mourning!
I think that clip was from Thursday. It may have been repeated on Saturday.
