"2 Republicans accused of disparaging Jews in paper
COLUMBIA, S.C. - Two Republican county officials in South Carolina have apologized after they disparaged Jews in a newspaper opinion piece in support of a fiscally conservative US senator.
The chairmen, Edwin Merwin Jr. and Jim Ulmer, wrote to the newspaper in backing Republican Senator Jim DeMint’s opposition to congressional earmarks. “There is a saying that the Jews who are wealthy got that way not by watching dollars, but instead by taking care of the pennies and the dollars taking care of themselves,’’ the officials wrote Sunday in The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg.
I know it sounds terrible, but when have you seen a poor Jew?
"One-third of the Israel's Holocaust survivors live in poverty"
Ooops! HOW CAN THAT BE with BILLIONS in REPARATIONS?
DeMint called the comment thoughtless yesterday, and one of South Carolina’s two Jewish legislators, Democratic state Senator Joel Lourie, called on the chairmen to be removed....
I am really sick of the ****** whining -- and so is the rest of the country and world.

Then it happened again:
LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. - An Arizona councilman made insensitive remarks about Jews during a meeting about a contract for the city manager.
Councilman Lee Barnes referred to himself as “just a little Jewish’’ when it comes to finances while discussing the contract of the ousted city manager during a special meeting Tuesday. Mayor Mark Nexsen referred to Barnes’s statement as “inappropriate.’’ Nexsen said he plans to talk to Barnes about his poor choice of words. The mayor added that Barnes owes the community an apology....
The WHOLE COMMUNITY? What, is it a ****** enclave or something?
Earlier this week, two Republican county officials in South Carolina apologized after disparaging Jews in a newspaper opinion piece in support of a fiscally conservative US senator.
Yeah, I saw that.
