Throw the Jew Down the Well!

A Pennsylvania state Republican conference is in hot water after a band playing at the event started spouting lyrics like "We’re fighting the corruption of the Jewish banks but when the Jews come to feed us, we always say thanks."

The band apparently was trying to satirize the Occupy Wall Street movement which ... I dunno, maybe? That the OWS is targeting "Jewish banks" is little more than a smear, but it's one I've heard of so it makes sense that it'd appear in the fever swamp a respected gathering of Pennsylvania Republicans. But that second part refers to ... what exactly? Jewish philanthropy? Prominent Jewish membership and in support for OWS? I have no idea.
