Oy Fracking Vey
Rep. Mike McMahon (D-NY) has fired his reelection finance director after she compiled a list of more than 80 donors to McMahon’s opponent who she said are Jewish to the New York Observer. She provided the paper with a list of donors entitled “Jewish Money Q2.”
From the Observer: McMahon’s (former) finance director, Jennifer Nelson, who is Jewish, complied a list of Jewish donors to one of McMahon’s potential Republican opponents, an ex-FBI agent Mike Grimm. A spokesperson for McMahon’s campaign told the Observer that Nelson identified the donors as Jewish because “she knows a lot of people in that community” and could recognize their names.
[SFL: Nelson? That sounds more like a shiksa name. Carry on.]
To some day be added to the annals of “what not to say” in any Campaign Management 101 course is this gem from Ms. Nelson:
“Where is Grimm’s money coming from,” Jennifer Nelson, McMahon’s campaign communications director told the paper. “There is a lot of Jewish money, a lot of money from people in Florida and Manhattan, retirees.”

She’s no Fred Malek ….
This a pretty freaky post to someone who just saw Merchant of Venice last night. Did they extract a pound of flesh as they drove her out the door?
P.S. Shylock got screwed.
So conservatives like Israel but aren’t particularly fond of Jews?
