Josh Marshall: Straight out of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Just moments ago, Lou Dobbs...

Straight out of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Just moments ago, Lou Dobbs guest Chris Farrell (head of Judicial Watch) says Caravan is being funded/directed by the "Soros-occupied State Department".

For those who don't know this world, "ZOG" is a staple of white supremacist/neo-Nazi websites/literature etc. Stands for "Zionist occupied government", i.e., US govt being controlled by Jews. This guy knows exactly what lever he's pulling when he uses this phrase.

Chris Farrell, the guy in the interview is "Director of Investigations" at @JudicialWatch

Final point. Shooter was clearly a virulent anti-semite of long standing. But what appears to have triggered his rampage is exactly THIS conspiracy theory, that Soros and Jews are funding/directing the caravan. This is little the guy's beef. Pushed on FoxBiz not 12 hrs later.

I don't watch any talking-head cable programs on any network, but from what I've gathered recently, Lou Dobbs is probably among the top five worst of the lot.

as Lou Dobbs was relatively reasonable when he was on CNN. Now he dies his hair and peddles conspiracy theories. What the hell!

That if the caravan was being funded by ..anyone .. They would have gotten buses and food along the way not make these folks walk.
