Um, Le Pen did make anti-semitic remarks. His views on immigration doesn't necessarily make him a racist, but he is one, no?

I know little about Le Pen or the National Front. Do they actually oppose people because of what they are and cannot change or did Le Pen simply comment on where most in a group are politically? That is the usual case behind charges of antisemitism.

Not exactly, he believes in this concept of "France for the French". Makes a great deal of sense to me, and, while he has indeed tossed around a few anti-Semetic comments from time to time, he does not exclude Jews from being French. In fact, there are far-seeing Jews in his own movement.
