(JTA) -- A Texas state representative apologized after using the slur "Jew them down" during a public hearing.
Larry Taylor at a legislative oversight hearing on Nov. 3 concerning a quasi-public wind insurance agency and its need to pay claims on time said "Don't nitpick, don't try to Jew them down." He reportedly quickly added, "That's probably a bad term."

its a common saying. get over it.
No you moron, it is not a common saying. If you had the balls to use your name I would find you and show you what a common beating looks like.
awww youre so sweet. and it is common retard. it means to haggle down a price.
Oh my gosh. This is ridiculous. People are so easily offended. Crybabies!
I know, I know. Why don't we keep all the good stereotypes (Jews are great with money, blacks are well-endowed, asians are super smart) and just throw out the bad ones?
Mr. Winger, it IS a common saying. Certainly we are much more politically correct now, and certainly a politician should particularly watch the use of such terms, but to get so riled up as you do and to threaten physical force over an admittedly poor choice of words makes you no better than the person who uses those words.
Mr. Winger correctly points out that it is NEVER acceptable EVER to make a disparaging statement about the people who killed our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Thank you Mr. Winger for standing up for the Jews.
Jesus Christ himself would be proud of you since He forgave them even as they murdered Him.
I've heard that term my whole life. Maybe Winger just doesn't get out much?
Jewish people are notorious for being excellent hagglers and usually become successful business people. They tend to be very stingy and good at getting others to sell for their desired price.
