I've been reading and hearing about Palin's disinvitation to the anti-Iran rally organized by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in bits and pieces today. I knew of this last night and perhaps today it is out there in whole or in part somewhere already. But here's how it went down.
Malcolm Hoenlein, the Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents and a throughly decent and honorable man, organized a protest rally to take place on the occasion of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's arrival again in New York to address the UN General Assembly. He invited many figures, including political figures from both major parties, conservatives and liberals, and people of many faiths. There was nothing about the event that was political - in the domestic Liberal v. Conservative or Democrat v. Republican sense. Not a thing. It was about Iran, Ahmadinejad, the state sponsorship of terrorism, Holocaust denial and protesting the affording of a grand stage for such representative speakers on our soil.
But a few days ago, Hillary Clinton backed out and had spokesmen - not herself - raise the objection that appearing would 'politicize' the event unnecessarily. Initial reaction was with Republican vitriol towards Senator Clinton and speculation that she simply would not and could not be seen standing shoulder to shoulder with Governor Sarah Palin, lest she further surrender her presumed role of the very image of successful women in American political leadership. There is no doubt that there is some truth to that, and perhaps that made the decision a bit easier for Clinton. But that was not the impetus.
Make no mistake that this was an Obama op and that it was Obama operatives directing the screenplay. Upon news of Palin's invitation, it was assured that the event would garner a higher level of attention than it already commanded. And the images and footage of Palin speaking in protest (popular protest, it should be added) of Iran and the messianic Ahmadinejad upon the backdrop of the common perception of Obama's weakness in foreign policy and national security simply could not stand. Furthermore, it would have provided endless campaign fodder with Palin shown standing against the world's foremost state sponsor of international terrorism amid the audio-visual bites of Obama stating he would hold talks with Iran without preconditions. The effects would potentially be more than just stinging.
It had to be derailed at all costs. And the first step in the mission was to characterize it as a politicized event. Getting Clinton to step away from the invitation was easy enough - her own vanity played against her as noted above. Having her spokesmen give a 'politicizing' reason for withdrawing from the rally planted the seed. And the trap was laid expertly.
All that remained was Palin and the media hyper-focus on her. If she remained, the meme of a 'politicization' of an otherwise honorable event would be hung around her neck - and Malcolm Hoenlein's - like an albatross. Yet she refused to rescind her acceptance as Hillary Clinton had.
Here's where it gets a bit dirty. The Obama campaign could not publicly cajole her to stay away, yet they needed her away. Desperately. So the pressure was then applied to Malcolm Hoenlein and the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations.
Enter the National Jewish Democratic Council, which supports the Obama Campaign. They were enlisted and put to the front to apply direct pressure to the Conference of Presidents, also a Jewish organization. And it is not a stretch to imagine (though wholly my conjecture) that the Conference of Presidents has donors among the NJDC, and therefore more than simply conceivable that there were threats of significant funding halts and other future obstacles from among powerful NJDC members.
And through whatever ugly back room pressure was brought to bear squarely on Malcolm's shoulders, he felt compelled to disinvite Sarah Palin against his wishes, but likely in hopes of saving the greater organization's future from political saboteurs within his own faith.
And the Obama camp wins. Sarah Palin is denied the stage to demonstrate foreign policy leadership and voice principled opposition to the world's premiere state sponsor of terrorism on Manhattan, in front of the UN and before recording FOX News cameras and microphones. No near-lethal ads this October running in Missouri, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan - where voters would get the message loud and clear.
And Palin is left the last to exit the stage, positioned as the polarizing figure in it all. Hillary Clinton is portrayed as the apolitical and principled female figure who took the honorable initiative to shun politicization. That her withdrawal was the event that actually politicized it all is of no matter. And Obama's carefully orchestrated handiwork is nowhere to be seen, seemingly above the fray.
But now you know. Because that's how it went down.

I think you're gonna have to further clarify your reasons for why you think Palin hates Jews. Frankly, I think if Israel were threatened and the Israelis were looking for an administration to stand in support of them, a McCain/Palin administration would certainly be more likely to do so than an Obama/Biden one. I think that is a pretty educated guess.

Hillary not wanting to show up is her business. A group thinking it was fine if only a Democrat show up but have a problem if only a Republican show up, doesn't garner much support from me. They are either democrat lovers or too spineless to stand up to democrats. If they are the first then they are already partisans. If they are the later then they have no business asking others to have a spine and stand up to Iran.
The right thing to have done was to ask members from both parties to show up. If either side refused then it would on that party for not showing up not on this group.

My dear Lord God, gop, you really put your ignorance of the bible out there for the whole world to see. Sit back for a small history lesson. Pilate is mentioned in all 4 of the cannonical gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). In all 4 of them, he found Jesus free of guilt. He TRIED to set Jesus free. He, however, deffered to the Jews the decision of his sentense. He disagreed with it. That's why he made such a big show of washing his hands of the affair.
He tried to set Jesus free, and the Jews (specifically, the Pharisees and Sadducees) chose to have him executed.
In conclusion... educate yourself before you open your piehole. Ya flamin' moonbat idiot.

Some justified the disinvite because Palin's church was "anti-semite". Some people accused the Catholic Church anti-semite. Obama's Reverend Wright is anti-semite. Obama's prominent supporter Farrahkan is anti-semite, former president Carter is anti-Semite.

Perhaps the best answer is for Palin to issue a statement expressing her willingness to appear with any person of good will, whatever their political party-Democrat, Republican, or independent. Stress that a matter this important transcends party allegiances.
She could go on to express a willingness to adjust her schedule, so she appears with Obama, Biden or Hillary. They would appear together in any city where their travels overlap to issue a join statement condemning Iran.
She could continue along these lines: "On October X, Senator Obama and I will both be in Chicago. I invite him to meet with me there to publicly issue a joint statement at the place of his choosing."
To drive the point home, she could add that Obama has expressed a willingness to meet with Iran's thugocracy, so he should certainly not find appearing with her "more distasteful or more terrifying than that." And perhaps for humor, she could add that she promises not to mistake him for a moose and shoot him.

Check out Sarah Palin's great relationship with the Jewish community of Alaska, the fact that, while Barack Hussein Obama refused to wear even a tiny American flag lapel pin, Palin had a small Israeli flag in her office and consider that the Democrats are the party of Jew-hatred from Jimmy Carter to Louis Farrakhan (friend of Jeremiah Wright and Obama's "church") and Al Sharpton who helped incite the murder of Jews in New York.

I just love gop's childish, illiterate ignorance. So endearing.
This is such an obvious political blunder for the Democrats that even poor, deluded gop should see that.

Can't McCain and Palin host their own protest too? "We won't let petty partisanship and Democratic pressure keep us from confronting evil!"
It writes itself.

woe-be-gonne~
You did make a point of showing up around here at a certain time, I will note. That has me curious about your intentions, other than trying to play detective.

So, to be clear: you have exactly zero evidence for that claim, correct?
Dishonest, dishonest people. No wonder you vote (R).

The way I see it, you dems are screwed either way. Either B. Hussein Obama IS a Christian, as he claims, or a Muslim, as he does not exactly deny.
In your version of reality, both of these religions hate Israel and want death to the jews.
Yep, screwed either way.
