Guess who's financing the great schlep rerun

Remember the 'great Jewish schlep,' the 2008 campaign stunt in which young American JINO's (Jewish in name only) traveled to Florida to convince their grandparents to vote for Hussein Obama? Well, the group is back as a Super PAC for the 2012 campaign, and hopes to raise $1 million. And guess who is financing it....
The pro-Obama Jewish group that was behind "The Great Schlep" four years ago received a $200,000 donation from the son of billionaire George Soros.

Alexander Soros, the 26-year-old son of the hedge fund magnate and progressive philanthropist, gave the donation to the group known officially as the Jewish Council for Education and Research. With Soros' gift the group, which is now a super PAC, or political action committee, has raised nearly as much this cycle as it did in the entire 2008 campaign.

The high-profile drive for Obama's first presidential run was best known for a viral video featuring Sarah Silverman imploring young Jews to talk their grandparents into voting for the then-Illinois senator.

“We were able to do a lot last time,” said Mik Moore, the group's treasurer, told the Forward. “But there was a lot we didn’t do, and we’re starting a lot earlier.”

Moore said the group hoped to raise $1 million by the end of the election cycle. He also said he's been in touch with Silverman.
What could go wrong?

I cannot be the only one to feel disgusted by leftists JINOs employing what can only be described as Senior Abuse in order to get a 2nd term for the manchu-riyadh "president".

We'll see how many drive all the way to Florida just for a cane whack to the behind.
