Right-wing pit bulls on the march, defending America

"[George Soros] is a self-admitted atheist, he was a Jew who figured out a way to survive the Holocaust." -- Tony Blankley

Now what the f*ck does Mr. Blankley mean by that comment? And the Republicans accuse Democrats of poisoning the political atmosphere?

Media Matters has been on a tear lately documenting the coordinated campaign by the Republicans to smear George Soros and, by association, John Kerry.

Witness the right-wing echo chamber at work:

National Review: "Soros: Abu Ghraib = September 11"

The Drudge Report: "Soros: Abu Ghraib = September 11..."

The Washington Times: "Soros likens Iraqi prisoner abuse to 9/11"

The New York Sun: "Soros: Americans Have Become Perpetrators in War on Terror"

The Weekly Standard: "Bush-Haters of the World, Unite! Amateur and professional Bush-haters gather in Washington for the Take Back America conference."

NewsMax.com: "Soros: Bush's War on Terrorism Worse Than 9/11"

WorldNetDaily.com: "Soros: Abu Ghraib same as 9-11"

CNSNews.com: "George Soros Likens Iraqi Prisoner Abuse to 9/11 Attacks"

Down Cujo! Down!
