DeMint Watches Money like a 'Jew'

We suppose it’s better than accusations of stealing money like a Jew. Still, your daily dose of prejudice: Two South Carolina Republican Party country chairman wrote a letter to a state newspaper praising Senator Jim DeMint for “watching our nation’s pennies” like “the Jews who are wealthy.” "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," Edwin O. Merwin and James S. Ulmer, chairs of the Bamberg County Republican Party and the Orangeburg County Republican Party, wrote. "By not using earmarks to fund projects for South Carolina and instead using actual bills, DeMint is watching our nation's pennies and trying to preserve our country's wealth and our economy's viability to give all an opportunity to succeed.”
