In an October 22 fundraising email for his Republican-aligned group Super PAC for America, Fox News contributor Dick Morris joins other Fox News figures in pushing the conspiracy theory that George Soros is connected to the firing of Juan Williams by NPR. Morris also writes that Media Matters has “smeared me. I consider their attacks a badge of honor, considering what Soros and that group stand for.”
From his email:
It is very clear to me that Democratic billionaire George Soros is once again trying to manipulate voters and enforce political correctness.
He and others who backed Barack Obama are horrified that America will soon reject their radical agenda.
They now want to close down and censor media that offer fair and balanced news.
You may not be aware that Soros made a $1,000,000 donation to MediaMatters, a left-wing front group for the Democratic Party.
Specifically, Soros made clear that his donation was to target Fox News.
Soros's front group has also smeared me. I consider their attacks a badge of honor, considering what Soros and that group stand for.
[...]
What better way to send a message to Soros than to defeat 100 of his Pelosi Democrats on Election Day.
Believe it or not, we're in a position to give Soros and his Democratic foot soldiers a shock.
Please help me elect a Republican Congress that not only will repeal Obamacare but also will de-fund NPR.
NPR doesn't deserve one thin dime of our tax money! [emphasis in original]
The email's footer states that the email has been “Paid for by Super PAC for America.”
