On the August 9 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio program, Rush Limbaugh agreed with a caller who called progressive financier, philanthropist, and political activist George Soros "a self-hating Jew." Limbaugh also proclaimed that "here is so much anti-Semitism today in the Democratic Party," later adding: "The seat of this anti-Semitism right now is focused in kooks, like Sheehan and the blogs and the MoveOn.org people and Soros."

Earlier, Limbaugh played an audio clip of MSNBC's Chris Matthews comparing Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman to "Uncle Tonoose," a character on the 1950s TV shows Make Room for Daddy and The Danny Thomas Show, which he appeared to argue was evidence of anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party.

From the August 9 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show:

LIMBAUGH: Can we go back? I'm gonna need Chris Matthews again. Grab number 10. Audio sound bite number 10. This from Chris Matthews last night on his -- well, it wasn't Hardball. It was his election coverage on PMSNBC .
