This piece about John McCain's VP pick Sarah Palen being a member of an anti-Jewish church in Alaska, is in a newsletter that I received from Jews for Obama. Note especially the 5th paragraph. See below.

We are not so sure about Sarah Palin

The selection of a virtually unknown governor as the Republican VP choice generated a lot of news, and a lot of loshon hara, of the sort we have been fighting against when used against Senator Obama. However, there are enough facts on the ground that respected media and trusted columnists are verifying:

McCain only met Gov. Palin once prior to the selection. This is more a reflection on McCain's decision making ability then on her qualifications for the job.

Palin's conservative social views are totally out-of-step with those of most American Jews. She opposes abortion even in cases of rape and incest. She has stated that mankind does not play any role in climate change. She wants schools to teach creationism, undermining the separation between church and state. Even as we can cheer a female candidate, we can dread what she represents as a symbol to Republicans.

Palin has no track record on Israel. The sum total of Palin's record on Israel is that she signed a boilerplate Alaska-Israel friendship resolution passed by the Alaska state legislature. To our knowledge, she had never made a public statement about Israel as of the date she was nominated.

Palin remains an enthusiastic member of a church supporting anti-Jewish views. Just two weeks before she was nominated, Palin was at Wasilla Bible Church when her pastor glowingly introduced David Brickman, the head of Jews for Jesus; Brickman proceeded to explain that Israelis curse Jesus whenever they say his name and that terrorist attacks against Israelis are the result of God's judgment against unbelievers. Palin did not (and to our knowledge has not) repudiated these teachings.

On the central economic questions governing the future of our nation, including the mortgage crisis, Palin's experience — as mayor of a town which sought federal funding to build a sports center, and as a governor with a $5B surplus from oil and gas revenues — does not predict she can make up for the economic smarts John McCain has admitted lacking.

The McCain campaign dropped various clues that they might choose Joe Lieberman or Eric Cantor as the running mate. Then, McCain chose Palin. According to Fred Zeidman, co-chair of Jewish outreach for the McCain campaign, Sen. John McCain's selection of Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate engendered "a lot of consternation" among Jewish delegates to the Republican National Convention.

We think the process and the outcome both merit consternation".
