(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.

Although I don't agree with what the guy wrote, he is just one person, and not the whole party, of which I am not a member.

That being said, these days, it's better to be a member of the GOP than of the national Democratic party. <<<shudder>>>

Yeah, what a *wonderful* compliment ???? GOP just keeps draggin' SC further down in the slime...

Thanks, Rap, but think I'll stick with the Democrats. Being aligned with Wilson, Palin, ad nauseum is truly a frightening thought.
