About
George Soros is a progressive billionaire often cited by right-wing sources as the mastermind behind all progressive causes, which they loathe.
Connections to Bush Iraq Lies Study
It is widely claimed in neoconservative circles that a study published by the Center for Public Integrity (CPI) and funded by the Fund for Independence in Journalism (FIJ) was funded by Soros. No evidence seems to be presented for this connection, however, other than links which do not pan out. "The Center for Public Integrity is one of many George Soros fronts," says hotair.com. Michelle Malkin refers to CPI and FIJ as having "ties to BDS sugar daddy George Soros." Yet neither CPI nor FIJ are among the many organizations listed in the article about Soros on the right-wing Discover the Networks site.
It may well be that Soros has connections with the CPI and/or FIJ, but what is it, exactly, that causes those on the right to believe that this is the case? If true, what point does it make?

«a big time anti-Zionist, anti-Israel, even anti-Semitic atheist, international oligarch and con artist who bankrolled the presidential campaigns of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, among other left-wing causes.» (Conservapedia at least does not try to claim that he is also part of the Global Jewish Conspiracy.) «Soros' organization, the Open Society Foundations, is responsible for financing postmodernist, Neo-Marxist organizations for his personal gain [;...] it devotes $2.6 billion to advance left-wing SJW priorities which in reality promote feminism, Islam, illegal drugs, prostitution, and homosexuality.» Not sure what their problem is, except that he's not on their team... - dKosopedia
