no indication he bears any animosity toward Jews at all.

I don't know. Spending 20 years listening to Reverend Wright isn't a good sign. I also think that there has been more than just a casual relationship between akaObama and Farrakhan. Biography.com used to credit akaObama's effort in support of Farrakhan's "Million-man March" but no more. (And then akaObama was one of only five or so mentioned.)

Lie down with dogs; get up with fleas. Maybe you've seen me relate my own family history which has my grandmother coming to America in 1936 to look for a place to live. And then on the day of Kristalnacht leaving her home in Berlin with my grandfather, stopping in several European cities to collect money that her customers owed her (She had asked them not to pay her until she came to collect.), then stopping in England to collect my father who was in his third year of school outside of Germany (The first was in Italy.), and then coming to America. I like to think some of her prescience is in my blood. I used to pooh-pooh people who were worried about anti-Semitism in the US. I am no longer quite so sanguine as I once was.

Yes, very comfortable in the company of antisemites, racists and anti-American activists from the benign to terrorists. This goes directly to his judgement, and should have been an issue in the campaign, since through his association he legitimizes these views, unfortunately McCain not only refused to raise it, but assured us it wasn’t an issue. However it’s difficult to make a definitive case that he dislikes Jews, or whites.
