| Subject: Funny-- Republican officials: DeMint is ‘watching our nation’s pennies’ — like a Jew would. Wed Oct 21, 2009 10:11 pm | |
| Merwin and Ulmer invoked an ethnic stereotype about Jewish people to defend DeMint’s penny-pinching:
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. 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.
