From South Carolina comes news that many hardcore Republicans don’t just like Israel. They’ve also become big admirers of my people’s financial practices — or at least their impression of them.
Two supporters of Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) say DeMint’s so thrifty and penny-pinching with taxpayer dollars that he’s like the “wealthy Jews” who count every penny to build their wealth.
DeMint called the unwelcome praise for Israelitish financial practices “thoughtless and hurtful.” And the supporters have now apologized.
