Palin Disinvited From Iran Rally

Palin disinvited from Iran rally
Politico
The organizers of an anti-Iran rally Monday rescinded their invitation to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin after Democrats protested that her presence would turn the event into a political rally, McCain campaign and Jewish community sources said.
The Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations created a political tempest by inviting Palin to speak without clearing her invitation with another speaker, Senator Hillary Clinton. Clinton promptly dropped out of the event, saying it would be seen as unduly political. The McCain campaign then pressed Senator Barack Obama to join Palin on the stage in a show of unity against Iran.
The Obama campaign in turn offered to send Congressman Robert Wexler of Florida .
But the appearance that the non-partisan group was aligning with the Republican ticket put the group and its president, Malcolm Hoenlein, under heavy pressure from Jewish Democrats, including members of the conference, members of Congress, and the liberal group J Street, not to give Palin a platform, sources said. Hoenlein told the McCain campaign that he would have to rescind Palin’s invitation or cancel the rally.
The organizers, I’m told, have formally disinvited all elected and political officials, but the move was about Palin.

“In order to keep the focus on Iranian threats and to ensure that this critical message not be obscured, the organizers of the rally have decided not to have any American political personalities appear,” the Stop Iran Now coalition said in a statement. “This issue, opposition to a nuclear-armed Iran, is one which enjoys bipartisan support and the backing of the American people across the political spectrum. On this, all Americans stand together. We acknowledge and deeply appreciate those American political leaders who have been and remain prepared to stand with us as we collectively address the dangers of Iran’s nuclear program and its support for terrorism globally.”

Wild Thing’s comment……..
So, it was not “unduly political” when Hillary was going to show up by herself – but it is when Sarah is invited? Do the Dems have ANY idea how stupid they look?
Meanwhile, Iran thanks Hillary for toning down the important voices against it, and can’t stop rolling on the floor laughing at the stupidity of those who “supposedly” oppose it. Some of these organtizatikons that plan rallies and yes like this one they are not as dedicated as they appear.
The best support for Israel comes from Republicans, NOT Democrats. The Clinton’s had Arafat visit them and they snubbed Netanyahu.
Before the flap, they had invited DEMOCRAT HILLARY CLINTON, who is on the campaign of Barack Obama.
So how did “Adding Sarah Palin”, who is Governor of Alaska, make it into a “political event”? It was already a “political event”.
This is just great NOT, what a thing for Achmedenijihad and his boys to see happening. This is beyond disgusting!
Obviously for some the chants, “Death to Israel” and ” Death To America” have been forgotten and politics has been replaced with wanting a country to unite against terrorists.
