This is a very important theme in the history of anti-semitism which rears its head perioidically in wingnut rhetoric. That's what the right is invoking when they rant about George Soros.

Yet another liberal bringing a knife to a gun-fight. You don't fight the right by sadly deploring the overuse of the charge of anti-semitism; you turn it against them. "loathing of “latte sipping elitist intellectuals” is recognizable as anti-semitism to anyone with eyes open" is freaking brilliant. That's somebody I want on my side. Sigh!
