Is Michele Bachmann ‘Jewish’? African-American?

August 30, 2011

Anything for a campaign donation.

The New York Post is reporting that Michele Bachann may not be stopping rumors of her ‘jewishness’ as it is allowing for more money to be collected by her campaign.

All Mitt Romney can do is look and cry “OY!” at what is happening since he thought all the rich Jewish donors were in his camp.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is facing a new challenge: He’s having trouble raising money from some Jewish donors who mistakenly believe one of his opponents, Michele Bachmann, is Jewish.

Some Jewish donors are telling fund-raisers for Romney, a Mormon, that while they like him, they’d rather open their wallets for the “Jewish candidate,” who they don’t realize is actually a Lutheran, The Post has learned.

Now, with this latest hiccup among Jewish donors, some in Romney’s camp have been wondering whether Bachmann and her allies are pushing the “Jewish” rumor to help their own fund-raising, sources said.

She has enjoyed strong popularity among Jewish voters and often talks about her stay on a kibbutz during the summer of 1974, when she was a teenager.

Latest word is that Michele Bachmann may also be black as she owns a Sammy Davis, Jr. album.

    I ain’t no Bachmann fan what-so-ever, but I think she is being called the “Jewish candidate” for the same kind of reasons Clinton was called the “first black president.”

    Again, I ain’t sayin’ I agree with ‘em, rather I just understand where they are coming from.
