CNN host Don Lemon addressed what he called the "ugly history" of the term 'globalist' "and how far-right extremists use it to suggest racial and anti-Semitic ideas" on the Thursday edition of CNN Tonight.
Lemon argued because people like Steve Bannon and Alex Jones use the term that a dog whistle is automatically attached to it. He said it is popular with the 'alt-right' and anti-Semites.
"That word globalist keeps popping up, it sounds like a pretty mainstream term, a description of an economic and political ideology," Lemon said. "But it's more than that. It's also become a dog whistle to right-wing conspiracy theorist."

There goes the neighborhood . . .
Indeed, the Nazis were true leftoids. They just had their divisions based on race and religion rather than class.
There is nothing that to the left, does not sound racist, anti-semetic, homophobic, sexist, (INSERT WHATEVER)
“ugly history” of the term ‘globalist’ “and how far-right extremists use it to suggest racial and anti-Semitic ideas”
Note how he uses the term ‘far-right extremist’ to suggest racist ideas.
I propose that the term ‘Don Lemon’ be considered racist and anti-semitic and that he should change his name.
I find the name Don Lemon offensive and racist.
First off, a don is a mafia leader. That’s a violent and dangerous image. I don’t think I should have to be assaulted by hearing that name! (Trump goes by Donald. Which is a happy name, I associate with the chain, McDonalds, which has happy meals!)
Lemon is a yellow which is a slanderous racial slur to Asians of oriental race. He should not be allowed to use such a term as a name. Much like the Cleveland Indians and Washington Redskins should be forced to change their name - he should be as well.
I suggest Dumbass McTurdbutt.
No one can dispute that Lemon is a fruit.
Don - you can call me whatever you like sweetheart.
I’ll call you Demonic. Because that’s exactly what you are.
You are a son of the devil, who wishes to spew the propaganda of your father, to any idiot who will listen to you.
I was wondering about that too. Is he against globalism, or merely opposed anyone pointing it out? I think it’s the latter, but I’m not sure.
Clearly a one-world government would not favor Jews. Radical Muslims greatly outnumber them. But I think by “anti-semitic” he means “anti-Soros.”
Globalism is evil as is the war on free speech.
Don’t own a TV. Is he the one on the right?
Those who assign pejorative meanings to the terms others use reveal more about their own prejudices than about the biases of their targets......
No one can dispute that Lemon is a fruit with a very low IQ and has zero talent for anything.
He is the lefty maggot on the left side.
Nope...he’s the dominate one on the left. I often wondered why piano keys play gay together...and who’s the sharp and who’s the flats.
Has to really suck the big one to be them....
