Love to see clear anti-semitic dog whistling going on on HN.
- TurkishPoptart 4y agoPlease 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. And so, by the non-logic of this nonsense, can I criticise George Bush, or is that an anti-white dog-whistle?
