Well, not in so many words. But he might as well have, cuz that's what he meant. Upset by the stunning loss of his Dem boy in NY-9 to Republican Bob Turner, here's what that sleazeball Waxman (D-Lala Land) had to say about his fellow Jews [h/t Red State]:
There are Jews who are trending toward the Republican Party, some of it because of their misunderstanding of Obama’s policies in the Middle East, and some of it, quite frankly, for economic reasons. They feel they want to protect their wealth, which is why a lot of well-off voters vote for Republicans.”
Get it? So not only did NY-9's Jews vote for the Republican because they're stupid (i.e., they don't understand Obama's Israel policy) but because they're selfish and greedy, ostensibly for wanting to “protect their wealth.”
Actually, Waxman is partially right: The constituents of NY-9 may want to protect their wealth -- but in the same way that a mugging victim wants to protect his. But as a Marxist-socialist limousine liberal Waxman phrases it as if it’s a bad thing, i.e., they’re being selfish and don’t want to “pay their fair share,” blah blah blah.
It’s the same old canard: People vote Republican because they’re stupid or selfish. My liberal Democrat cousin recently called me both. So it’s really no surprise, except this time it’s a Jew talking about other (presumably Democrat-voting) Jews. He’s lashing out because his fellow landsmen are wising up abandoning is hateful party and its failed platform.
Don’t you find it funny, though, that Democrats have all these pet “victim” groups … until, that is, they abandon the Democrat plantation. The Democrats have been perfectly content acting as protectors of American Jews from all the bogeymen of the Republicans. Then, as soon as Jews vote against them, they’re smeared and accused of being stereotypical selfish money grabbers.
That’s the same way they treat blacks: They’re little helpless pets who and the Democrats believe they’re the only ones protecting the welfare of blacks from those raaaaacist Republicans who want them “hanging from a tree.” Until, that is, a black person wises up and leaves the Democrat plantation. Then they’re smeared as stupid Uncle Toms and house slaves.
I’ve also seen them do that to seniors: One minute they’re poor helpless victims of eeeevil Republicans who want to steal their Medicare and Social Security and who want to push them over the cliff, wheelchairs and all. Then, as soon as you see Tea Parties filled with seasoned Americans who don’t want to see their children’s and grandchildren’s lives ruined, the Democrats smear them as selfish, crotchety, angry old people.
This is all done for political gain (= votes) of course. It is quite clear that Democrats don’t give a crap about Jews, blacks, or senior citizens. All they care about is their vote.
Henry Waxman included.

UPDATE 9/17: Barry Rubin at Pajamas Media weighs in:
Let’s consider this statement. The first part is correct: More Jews are voting against Democrats and will vote against Obama, but the majority will continue to support them. The problem comes in the second part, and an accurate reading teaches us several things.
First, the Democratic Party has taken a sharp turn to the left and much of which passes for “liberalism” nowadays is in fact a radicalism that opposes traditional liberal ideas. American liberalism has never been systematically or doctrinally anti-capitalist, much less anti-American.
There is a vast scam going on that represents the current left’s success in doing what the Communist Party tried to do in the 1930s. That’s why many liberal — and especially Jewish — intellectuals have turned against what’s happening now. Even many of those Democrats and Jews in general who vote for radicals-pretending-to-be-liberals do so with deep doubts.
Hey, Mr. Waxman, I’d love to vote Democrat, but I can’t because your party and president advocate and implement policies that endanger the United States, destroy the economy, create unemployment, and destabilize the world. They also damage Israel’s security, Middle East stability, the struggle against revolutionary Islamism, and even build anti-Israel views and hatred among many American supporters of your side. If you want my vote, get rid of Obama and change your policies.
Instead, what we’re getting is the manipulation of habit and fearmongering to make Jews — and others — think of conservatives and Republicans as a blend of country club antisemite, Nazi storm trooper, and religious fanatic. The administration and its supporters are doing everything possible to spread hate, fear, and arrogant snobbishness toward fellow Americans.
