What is it with conspiracy nutjobs and George Soros? I am no fan of Jill Stein, but I have found myself in the odd position of defending her in the last few days. This conspiracy fruitcake I know believes that Soros is funding Stein’s recount. I pointed out that the money was being collected via her presidential campaign website, and the upper limit on donations is $2,700.

She came back with some crazy-ass tale that it was all automated, all Soros’ money, just pushed out in fake $2,700 increments. I told her she was crazy because you just can’t donate to a campaign, you have to fill out your name, address, job title and employer before you can donate. And all this stuff is public record, available through the FEC and then sliced and diced through websites like Open Secrets.

All of that reasonable explanation made not a whit’s difference to crazy nutbar woman. It was still All About Soros. I mean, seriously, why don’t they stick to truthful things, like how a Soros-funded PAC dumped $2MM into anti-Joe Arpaio commercials? But no, George Soros is behind Jill Stein.

It’s because Soros is from a Jewish family, isn’t it?
