This week, similar suspicious packages were mailed to frequent targets of right-wing criticism, including Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama , Joe Biden , Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and former CIA Director John Brennan.

The first one, however, was discovered on Monday outside the New York residential compound of billionaire George Soros. Authorities later determined it contained a pipe bomb .

Its not yet known who delivered the pipe bomb. Whats not in doubt is that Soros has become the right wings main boogeymen over the last decade.

His most vicious critics tend to be members of the Nazi frog set, employing longtime anti-Semitic tropes to depict Soros as a Jewish puppet master. But other critics make their money at Fox News , where Soros is treated as the Moriarty of liberal America, the spider at the center of a vast web.

In the eyes of his most unwavering detractors, Soros is a Nazi-sympathizing, left-wing globalist hellbent on using his billions to destroy the conservative movement.

Soros is not a Nazi sympathizer the conservative Weekly Standard will tell you that, even if Infowars wont but he is an enormously generous benefactor of liberal causes. In the past, he has given millions to support Democratic presidential nominees Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama . But the real Soros money at least $18 billion of it has gone to Open Society Foundations, an organization he founded decades ago to promote democracy and human rights around the world.

Conservatives dont actually have a problem with rich men donating money to political causes, as the Koch brothers demonstrate. At issue is the fact that Open Society Foundations hands large wads of cash to left-leaning U.S. organizations like New America and the Center for American Progress , which some see as proof of an enormous Soros-funded left-wing conspiracy in which brainwashed liberals do Soros bidding paid protesters and all that.

Since news of the pipe bomb outside Soros home broke on Monday, Fox News has described Soros as a billionaire liberal activist and a very, very influential person in the Democratic Party , according to the media monitoring website TVEyes.

But before that, pundits depictions were much more vivid. Since April, people on Fox News have depicted Soros as a dirty word and a radical who hates the United States.
