"Nationally, Obama continues to face skepticism from some Jewish leaders who are wary of his long association with his pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., who had made racially incendiary comments during several sermons that recently became widely known. Questions have persisted about Wright in part because of the recent revelation that his church bulletin reprinted a Times op-ed from last year
- written by a Hamas leader.
One Jewish leader said he viewed Obama's outreach to Palestinian activists, such as Said, in the light of his relationship to Wright.
"In the context of spending 20 years in a church where now it is clear the anti-Israel rhetoric was there, was repeated, . . . that's what makes his presence at an Arab American event with a Said a greater concern," said Abraham H. Foxman, national director for the Anti-Defamation League."...(page 5)

This should not be news, but the US-like France-- has a 2-class system. The media protects its ideological fellow travelers.
A French socialist mother urged her daughter not to report Strauss-Kahn for dangerous behavior because he was "en route to greatness." All those attacked by him who decided not to file claims were in his ideological circle:
5/18/11, "Smoke and Fire: Why France Was Silent About Strauss-Kahn's Womanizing," Time Magazine, B. Crumley, Paris
"Even the well connected had qualms about confronting Strauss-Kahn. A regional Socialist Party official stepped up on Monday to say that her daughter had come under sexual attack during a 2002 interview with Strauss-Kahn....She told French TV that she had dissuaded her daughter from filing charges because Strauss-Kahn was en route to greatness — and derailing
- the ascent of a fellow Socialist Party official would be bad form."...
No sexual-assault charges, however, were ever filed in France against Strauss-Kahn...
Strauss-Kahn may have been abetted by the fact that most of his so-called conquests involved ideological fellow travelers — as was reflected by the Banon case. Says the French lawyer who asked not to be named: "My clients and other women I've been contacted by with reports of sexual aggression by Strauss-Kahn were all either Socialist Party members, supporters, or involved in wider leftist political activity that eventually brought them into contact with Strauss-Kahn. He has said he loves women, but it seems more accurate to say he loves Socialist women...where women who caught his eye would either be compliant,
- or keep quiet about having to fight off his advances....
""There were sufficient elements for a legal complaint to be filed and for a judicial investigation into them to be granted," he says. But in the end, the woman chose not to go ahead. Pierrat explains that it was "because she knew there'd be a lot of public and media attention, knew she'd come under pressure, be cast as a liar, a woman who was looking for trouble, get tagged as the villain who took down Dominique Strauss-Kahn — or tried to. She knew there'd be a high price to pay for trying to do the right thing and knew she
- would probably be tarred for it."...
