What an amazing cock-up from the organizers (Previous: Hillary Cancels Appearance at Anti-Iran Rally - Palin-hate Reaches New Heights). What a disgusting display by Hillary Clinton and her Democratic Party masters: Ben Smith at Politico: Palin disinvited from Iran rally

The organizers of an anti-Iran rally Monday rescinded their invitation to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin after Democrats protested that her presence would turn the event into a political rally, McCain campaign and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 to the event, 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.

Glad to see J Street has their priorities in order. Check out the link, in which J Street goes balls to the wall in politicizing the event and trying to get Palin dropped. Despicable. There have been any number of these events over the years at which politicians of all stripes have appeared side by side. The idea is to get whatever prominent names you can to show up. I've never seen one politicized as badly as this one, and it wasn't McCain/Palin that did it. The press release now shows only Elie Wiesel and Dalia Itzik as confirmed speakers.

Mind boggling super incompetence, sheer stupidity. Is Sarah Palin a persona non grata? Clinton ought to be ashamed of herself, as well as the dems, for this fiasco. I'm without speech. Idiots!

Fear. Fear of being upstaged, fear of a loss of control, fear of the more thought provoking and substantive popular appeal Palin has the ability to tap in to, fear of genuine diversity of opinion that likewise has the potential to stimulate probing and probative and pragmatically attuned thought - i.e. real thought rather than ideologically conforming pseudo-thought.

Hopefully the McCain/Palin campaign will be able to respond with a sufficiently aggressive counter-salvo.

Ironically ... J Street *made* this into a political matter, abusing a serious cause for an attempted partisan gain.

I am truly embarrassed that the rally leadership did not have the guts to stand their ground.

"Sarah Palin's views on abortion, the environment, and just about every other issue are out of step with the American Jewish community." --From J Street Website

Who cares? This is about one issue only: stopping Iran from going nuclear, which is a serious threat to the existence of Israel.

You would think every sane Jew would be far more concerned about gaining the support of prominent politicians of all parts of the political spectrum. When millions of Jewish lives are at stake, you want to turn away a potential VP's support because of her position on abortion or the environment???

Any association that the Jewish community would have with Sarah Palin would be despicable. Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas. How can you not see who threatens your existence? She'd sell Israel down the river in a heartbeat... so her evangelical brethren can ascend to heaven. PS. YOU"RE NOT INVITED.

Only Jews would insult their supporters at the highest level. If I were Vice Presidential candidate, Gov. Sarah Palin or Presidential candidate Senator John McCain I would never forget being uninvited after agreeing to speak in support of Israel. The stupidity is staggering.

Jews need to face the fact that for generations we repeatedly engage in psychopathological behaviour that is self-defeating, self-destructive, and even suicidal.

MS. Goodson states concerning Gov. Palin:

"She'd sell Israel down the river in a heartbeat... so her evangelical brethren can ascend to heaven. PS. YOU"RE NOT INVITED."

What drivel- the evangelicals are usually quite firm in their support of Israel- in fact probably firmer than the lunatics on the left.


The comments made by Goodson (above) are emblematic of a large percentage of left-leaning Jews. All you need to do is visit websites like Jewschool, JStreet, etc. These are the same people who, even after the terrorist attacks on Sep. 11, 2001, claimed that evangelicals are the American equivalent of Al Queda or the Taliban. They have no sense of comparison or any sense of reality for that matter. They truly occupy a different space than rational, thinking, human beings.

I know who would sell Israel down the river in a heartbeat.

Progressively mentally ill Leftists.

These same Leftists would also sell America, Canada, the UK down the river in a heartbeat.

Only Jews would insult their supporters at the highest level. If I were Vice Presidential candidate,

The you types go again. How do you claim to speak for all Jews? For all flavour of Jew?
Has this come about by osmotic pressure from the anti-semites where what one "Jew" (even those who have renounced any and all connection with the faith) does thereby becomes the collective guilt of all Jews?

Anyway If Sarah Palin is only half as intelligent as is being made out then I doubt that she will be another James (f the Jews) Baker.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF 2008 IS AN ABORTION ITSELF ,AND A DISGRACE TO THE ONCE GREAT PARTY OF TRUMAN,KENNEDY,AND JOHNSON.

TODAY'S LEFT-WING AMERICA-BASHING DEMOCRATS AND THEIR'MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE'OBAMA, HAVE ONCE AGAIN PROVEN THAT THEY ARE NOT "LIBERALS", IN THE TRUE SENSE, BUT FASCISTS !

THIS DISGRACE OF FIRST FORCING HILARY CLINTON TO CANCEL HER APPEARANCE AT THE STOP-IRAN RALLY,THE DISGRACE OF HER ACTUAL AQUIESANCE, AND NOW THE INTIMIDATION OF THE JEWISH-AMERICAN COMMUNITY'S OFFICIAL ORGANIZATIONAL UMBRELLA GROUP TO DISINVITE GOV.PALIN, BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,AND THE SHAMEFUL AQUIESENCE OF THE GROUP,MEANS ONE THING:


TIME FOR JEWISH VOTERS TO TELL THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,AS MOSES TOLD PHAROAH, "LET MY PEOPLE GO!"

JEWISH SUPPORT FOR TODAY'S DEMOCRATS IS NOT DESERVED!

How could they be so stupid????
It is outrage that such a fools are in a position to force their will, first they have to apologise to Gov. Sarah Palin and than quit their job!!!
