GOP Officials Apologize for Jewish Stereotype

[Appaholic]

..and it only took universal condemnation...seriously, what year is this? I mean, in SC....

CNN) – After his words attracted national attention and drew condemnation from a Jewish state senator, a South Carolina Republican official is now apologizing for co-writing a newspaper op-ed that described Jews as penny-pinchers.

James Ulmer, chairman of the Orangeburg County GOP, said he made a "great error" in the op-ed, which he penned along with Bamberg County GOP chairman Edwin Merwin.

The piece, which ran Sunday in the Orangeburg Times & Democrat, was meant to defend South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint's position against 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 piece read. "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."

I related this story on AGS once, so my apologies if it's a rehash for some.

I attended a government contracting seminar in Philly a few years back. One of the speakers was flown in from somewhere in the Midwest to discuss negotiation techniques. I am not sure if this woman had ever met a Jew in her life or if she realized that a sizable portion of her audience was Jewish. At any rate, she discussed various negotiation tactics for awhile and I was starting to dose off a bit when she said "and even if you've met your objective, you can always try to Jew 'em down a little more!" You could have heard a pin drop.

The host broke in and asked if everyone was ready for lunch. The presenter did not continue her presentation after lunch and was not seen again.

She was spotted around the corner at a bar, drunk, practicing her Nazi salute with Alphajizz, AZjizzfan and Jizznz.
