Why it works:
The DNC either denies it and draws attention to itself by doing so, or tries to ignore it and fails badly (because its base of dual-loyalty supporters are 80-90% liberal, and also high in neuroticism).
The GOP, if it tries to defend the DNC against these "vile antisemitic dogwhistles", can only alienate americans in the process. If it tries to set itself as opposition to the DNC, it alienates its big donors like sheldon adelson.
If the GOP tries to play the middle, all they do is end up highlighting how many of their own politicians and donors are pro-israel foreign lobbyists with no loyalty to America.
It's a lose-lose proposition to both parties if this phrase takes off.
Like the boogieman, the more you notice them and name them, the more their influence and power vanishes like puffs of smoke before your very eyes.
