I've never seen a clear explanation of the right's grievances regarding Soros, but what I can put together contextually is that he is a wealthy source of finance or power brokerage for political action involving anything left of far-right. There is also a deep, non-explicit anti-semitic tinge to it all as well.

However everything I have heard him about his didn't come from credible sources. I've honestly wondered for a long time as well.

His short of the UK pound was used by a lot of talk radio nutcases to link him to various conspiracy theories (rothchilds, elders of Zion, etc). Many of the modern internet provocateurs seem to have been raised on a steady diet of late night talk radio.

The key thing about those sorts of things is that the lack of evidence is itself evidence of the grand conspiracy.
