Love to see clear anti-semitic dog whistling going on on HN.

Please engage in good faith here. It is objectively true that Mr. Soros, via NGOs, funds these DAs. It is also true that CNN/MSNBC/NPR/NYT/WaPo and most "blue" media don't report on this, but I don't know why that's the case (though I suspect that he also funds them to keep his name out of the headlines because national journalism is mostly broken these days).

It is absurd to conflate any criticism of a person's actions to a "dog whistle". I say this as an observant Jew who is excited for the first night of Passover and attending a seder tonight with one of the local Chabads. Is it still an anti-semitic dog whistling if I try to shed light on the misdeeds of one of our own? But regardless of my identity/religion, it shouldn't be off-the-table to discuss an individual's public behavior on our politics.

I don't know what your real motives are, but it's simply anti-intellectual to try to shut down discussion with this nonsense.

Yawn, regurgitating ADL talking points does not diminish the facts. Glad to see "project megaphone" alive & kicking.

Calling someone "antisemitic" is akin to calling them a "square".

Both words are dated artifacts so overplayed they've lost their original meaning.

What's worse is that this is a common way of halting discussion due to political correctness gone amuck. Also, improper use of dog-whistling.
