GOPers: Sen. DeMint is like a Jew "watching our nation's pennies"

Or maybe a Jew who's never voting Republican again. From Rachel Weiner at Huff Post:

Two South Carolina County Republican Party chairmen stepped up to rebut criticism of Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) in a newspaper editorial Sunday. But their defense of the senator might be overshadowed by their use of an anti-Semitic stereotype to praise him...

"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," Ulmer and Merwin 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."
UPDATE: Dave Weigel tweets that he just found this hidden camera footage of a South Carolina GOP meeting.
