Palin Snub Rocks Jewish Community — and the Presidential Race
The decision last week by organizers (the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations) of the anti-Iran rally in New York City to disinvite Governor Sarah Palin after Senator Hillary Clinton backed out in a huff has set off a torrent of negative reaction — which the media, not surprisingly, has chosen largely to ignore. It also may have opened the door for the McCain-Palin ticket to attack Barack Obama for placing partisan politics above national security and support for Israel.
Many prominent American Jews and a number of media outlets are labeling the action disgraceful.
The New York Post, noting that these rallies had taken place for years with the participation of political candidates of different parties, was among those labeling the decision to dump Palin a “disgrace,” explaining:
Rally organizers, trying to salvage the situation, then invited Palin’s counterpart on the Democratic ticket, Sen. Joe Biden. But his campaign turned thumbs down, reportedly citing a “longstanding commitment” to speak at a National Guard convention in Maryland. At which point the organizers, in a not-especially-gracious move, disinvited Palin — along with every other political official who’d been asked to speak, saying that would prevent their message from being “obscured” by the tumult.
Really? Such tumult as there might have been traces directly to the Democrats’ refusal to rise above partisan politics and share the public spotlight with a nationally prominent Republican. As Sen. John McCain rightly noted in a statement, the threat that a nuclear-armed Iran would pose, to Israel and to America, is too great for the issue to be used as a political football. Hillary Clinton and the Obama campaign could have driven that point home by her appearance at Monday’s rally. But they chose instead to play politics.
The Post was not alone in expressing outrage. A local New York news report cited angry local reaction to reports that the organizers had been pressured — perhaps threatened with loss of tax exempt status — to disinvite Palin:
“This is insulting. This is embarrassing, especially to Gov. Palin, to me and I think it should be to every single New Yorker,” Assemblyman Dov Hikind, D-Brooklyn, told CBS 2 HD.
Sources say the axes were out for Palin as soon as Sen. Clinton pulled out because she did not want to attend the same event as the Republican vice-presidential candidate. “I have never seen such raw emotion — on both sides,” said someone close to the situation. The groups sponsoring the rally against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaking at the UN were reportedly told, “it could jeopardize their tax exempt status” if they had Palin and not Clinton or Democratic VP candidate Joe Biden on hand. … “It’s an absolute shame that this has happened,” Hikind said. “To threaten organizations … to threaten the Conference of Presidents that if you don’t withdraw the invitation to Gov. Palin we’re going to look into your tax exempt status … that’s McCarthyism.”
The same story quoted president of “Hillary Now” Bob Kunst: “I’m absolutely appalled at the behavior of the Democrats. I’m a Democrat and for the first time in my life I’m going to vote Republican. I can’t take it anymore.”
The National Jewish Democratic Council took credit for nixing the invitation. And the leftwing J Street crowed over its victory: “We collected over 20,000 signatures in 24 hours asking Iran Unity rally organizer Malcolm Hoenlein to take Sarah Palin off the schedule for Monday’s rally, and he caved to our pressure on Thursday afternoon citing the fact that the rally had become too partisan.” They made clear that they viewed this as a victory for precisely the policy which Barack Obama favors: “smart diplomacy.” (MoveOn.org’s financier and godfather George Soros was an initial backer of J Street. Its board of advisors contains notable leftwing activists such as Matt Stoller, who previously blogged for Ned Lamont’s senatorial campaign and the netroot MyDD website, and Eric Alterman of the netroot attack group Media Matters, who recently was exposed for suggesting that a column on ABC News’ website was influenced by its Jewish reporter’s affiliations with other Jewish journalists. It also contains individuals such as Robert Malley, who served as an informal advisor to the Obama camp but was dismissed after his negotiations with Hamas were revealed.)
Yeah, vote for him anyway else you are a racist.
I think Sarah Palin may have gotten the last word….or perhaps the first word. From today’s New York Sun, this article should be shouted from the rooftops:
http://www.nysun.com/opinion/palin-on-ahmadinejad-he-must-be-stopped/86311/
I am honored to be with you and with leaders from across this great country — leaders from different faiths and political parties united in a single voice of outrage.
Tomorrow, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will come to New York — to the heart of what he calls the Great Satan — and speak freely in this, a country whose demise he has called for.
Ahmadinejad may choose his words carefully, but underneath all of the rhetoric is an agenda that threatens all who seek a safer and freer world. We gather here today to highlight the Iranian dictator’s intentions and to call for action to thwart him.
He must be stopped.
The world must awake to the threat this man poses to all of us. Ahmadinejad denies that the Holocaust ever took place. He dreams of being an agent in a “Final Solution” — the elimination of the Jewish people. He has called Israel a “stinking corpse” that is “on its way to annihilation.” Such talk cannot be dismissed as the ravings of a madman — not when Iran just this summer tested long-range Shahab-3 missiles capable of striking Tel Aviv, not when the Iranian nuclear program is nearing completion, and not when Iran sponsors terrorists that threaten and kill innocent people around the world.
The Iranian government wants nuclear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency reports that Iran is running at least 3,800 centrifuges and that its uranium enrichment capacity is rapidly improving. According to news reports, U.S. intelligence agencies believe the Iranians may have enough nuclear material to produce a bomb within a year.
The world has condemned these activities. The United Nations Security Council has demanded that Iran suspend its illegal nuclear enrichment activities. It has levied three rounds of sanctions. How has Ahmadinejad responded? With the declaration that the “Iranian nation would not retreat one iota” from its nuclear program.
So, what should we do about this growing threat? First, we must succeed in Iraq. If we fail there, it will jeopardize the democracy the Iraqis have worked so hard to build, and empower the extremists in neighboring Iran. Iran has armed and trained terrorists who have killed our soldiers in Iraq, and it is Iran that would benefit from an American defeat in Iraq.
If we retreat without leaving a stable Iraq, Iran’s nuclear ambitions will be bolstered. If Iran acquires nuclear weapons — they could share them tomorrow with the terrorists they finance, arm, and train today. Iranian nuclear weapons would set off a dangerous regional nuclear arms race that would make all of us less safe.
But Iran is not only a regional threat; it threatens the entire world. It is the no. 1 state sponsor of terrorism. It sponsors the world’s most vicious terrorist groups, Hamas and Hezbollah. Together, Iran and its terrorists are responsible for the deaths of Americans in Lebanon in the 1980s, in Saudi Arabia in the 1990s, and in Iraq today. They have murdered Iraqis, Lebanese, Palestinians, and other Muslims who have resisted Iran’s desire to dominate the region. They have persecuted countless people simply because they are Jewish.
Iran is responsible for attacks not only on Israelis, but on Jews living as far away as Argentina. Anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial are part of Iran’s official ideology and murder is part of its official policy. Not even Iranian citizens are safe from their government’s threat to those who want to live, work, and worship in peace. Politically-motivated abductions, torture, death by stoning, flogging, and amputations are just some of its state-sanctioned punishments.
It is said that the measure of a country is the treatment of its most vulnerable citizens. By that standard, the Iranian government is both oppressive and barbaric. Under Ahmadinejad’s rule, Iranian women are some of the most vulnerable citizens.
If an Iranian woman shows too much hair in public, she risks being beaten or killed.
If she walks down a public street in clothing that violates the state dress code, she could be arrested.
But in the face of this harsh regime, the Iranian women have shown courage. Despite threats to their lives and their families, Iranian women have sought better treatment through the “One Million Signatures Campaign Demanding Changes to Discriminatory Laws.” The authorities have reacted with predictable barbarism. Last year, women’s rights activist Delaram Ali was sentenced to 20 lashes and 10 months in prison for committing the crime of “propaganda against the system.” After international protests, the judiciary reduced her sentence to “only” 10 lashes and 36 months in prison and then temporarily suspended her sentence. She still faces the threat of imprisonment.
Earlier this year, Senator Clinton said that “Iran is seeking nuclear weapons, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is in the forefront of that” effort. Senator Clinton argued that part of our response must include stronger sanctions, including the designation of the IRGC as a terrorist organization. John McCain and I could not agree more.
Senator Clinton understands the nature of this threat and what we must do to confront it. This is an issue that should unite all Americans. Iran should not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. Period. And in a single voice, we must be loud enough for the whole world to hear: Stop Iran!
Only by working together, across national, religious, and political differences, can we alter this regime’s dangerous behavior. Iran has many vulnerabilities, including a regime weakened by sanctions and a population eager to embrace opportunities with the West. We must increase economic pressure to change Iran’s behavior.
Tomorrow, Ahmadinejad will come to New York. On our soil, he will exercise the right of freedom of speech — a right he denies his own people. He will share his hateful agenda with the world. Our task is to focus the world on what can be done to stop him.
We must rally the world to press for truly tough sanctions at the U.N. or with our allies if Iran’s allies continue to block action in the U.N. We must start with restrictions on Iran’s refined petroleum imports.
We must reduce our dependency on foreign oil to weaken Iran’s economic influence.
We must target the regime’s assets abroad; bank accounts, investments, and trading partners.
President Ahmadinejad should be held accountable for inciting genocide, a crime under international law.
We must sanction Iran’s Central Bank and the Revolutionary Guard Corps — which no one should doubt is a terrorist organization.
Together, we can stop Iran’s nuclear program.
Senator McCain has made a solemn commitment that I strongly endorse: Never again will we risk another Holocaust. And this is not a wish, a request, or a plea to Israel’s enemies. This is a promise that the United States and Israel will honor, against any enemy who cares to test us. It is John McCain’s promise and it is my promise.
Thank you.
Jstreet is an Obama front group. Two prominent names:
Jeremy Ben Ami, executive director. He was 2003-04 policy director for Howard Dean’s campaign and 1992-1996 deputy domestic policy advisor, Bill Clinton
Alan Solomont, 1997-1998, national finance chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Raised $35 million for Kerry and in Jan. 2007 announced he would be fund-raising for Obama.
Many of those who have declared themselves “Jews for Obama” such as Alan Wurtzel are involved, as is Eli Pariser, somewhere in the background, the guy who runs Moveon.Org.
Their main interest is getting Obama elected first and the welfare of Israel second. Jstreet seems to have been formed to counter the doubts expressed among Jews about Obama. They are pushing Obama’s party line to negotiate face to face with Ahmadinejad first and to play down the existential threat a nuclear Iran poses to Israel.
In their eyes the main enemy of Israel in the world is not Ahmadinejad, but McCain. Sabotaging a protest against Iran with Palin is more important to them than recruiting the widest possible political support for Israel’s cause.
With friends like this, Israel does not need enemies.
Someone said Obama on 60 Minutes today – when asked what qualifies him to be President – reiterated his claim that he “brings people together.”
Bad timing on that one, Barry.
And you bet, his wanting to meet with Ahmadinejad, sans preconditions, rather than protest his presence at the UN was the first thought that entered my mind.
As a group the Jews have recognized mortal danger too late. The exception came when Israel was formed and they defended themselves for several decades. Unfortunately for Israel they have lost the sense to recognize mortal danger over the years. American Jewry seems to never have had it. Despite all Obama has said and done on this issue, which should be a danger sign to any Jew, he will undoubtedly get more than 50% of the Jewish vote.
I don’t get it.
I can only draw the conclusion that the “Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations” feels the Republicans are more of a threat to the existance of Israel the a nuclear Iran…that or they feel the overall danger is so slight that it’s time to play games instead of be serious. In the end it’s their own destiny to steer, or let go adrift. The consequences of failure couldn’t be THAT bad, could they?
Obama has pledged to withdraw troops from Iraq, knowing that right next door to Iraq, and only about 900+ miles away from Israel, is a madman with nuclear ambitions who hates anything Jewish. A visionary and strategic thinker Obama definitely is not.
Suspicions confirmed! Government use of the IRS and I thought “no way”. The political machinery of the Clintons seems to be well oiled.
When three cultures as different as the Iranians, Jewish and Westerners collide, the only solution is diplomacy, listening and compromising. Respect for each other is utmost. Each culture has good and horrible things, but as long as you don’t mess with their internal beliefs, let them rise or destroy themselves by themselves. Once someone tries to impose his views upon others, the balance is broken.
We cannot enforce democracy on others as much as they cannot force theocracy on us. The change comes from within. Unfortunately, politicians and the press create situations that didn’t exist. People, like bloggers, can be sincere, but if their logical thinking is defective, not much can be expected.
If logical thinking would be taught at high school level around the world, we could be in paradise . . .
I have been at every major rally in support of Jewish Issues during the past three years. I have also been at many of the tiny ones where there were 40 of us holding signs in the rain. This Monday I will NOT be going to the United Nations to join the rally against Iranian aggression. I urge you to stay home also. By showing up at the rally we would be teaching the Democratic party and the Obama Campaign that the supporters of Israel can be bullied around. The Jewish groups that are running the rally WERE THREATENED WITH A LOSS OF THEIR TAX EXEMPT STATUS IF THE KEPT PALIN ON THE ROSTER:
The groups sponsoring the rally against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaking at the UN were reportedly told, “it could jeopardize their tax exempt status” if they had Palin and not Clinton or Democratic VP candidate Joe Biden on hand.
“It’s an absolute shame that this has happened,” Hikind said. “To threaten organizations … to threaten the Conference of Presidents that if you don’t withdraw the invitation to Gov. Palin we’re going to look into your tax exempt status … that’s McCarthyism (CBS News)
Why is this so serious? On one hand, it shows a total apathy to the cause that we were to be protesting. IF Senator Obama truly cared about a nuclear Iran, Hillary Clinton would not have withdrawn. But even more serious is that the pressure that Obama put on the Jewish organizers is just a dry run of what he want to do to Israel.
Folks, Senator Obama’s foreign Policy team is LOADED with people who want to do the same thing to Israel that Obama did to the parade organizers. Zbigniew Bzrezinski– Robert O. Malley (still involved) Samantha Power (told the press that she would be involved if she was elected)- Gen. Merrill A. McPeak– Joseph Cirincione– and Daniel Kurtzer one of the “Baker’s Jew Boys.” Baker’s Jew Boys” was the nickname of former Secretary of State James ” F**K the Jews” Baker’s top three middle east advisers, Dennis Ross, Aaron Miller, and Kurtzer. All three were Jews (some would say self-hating) and they helped the Baker-run State Department become the most Anti-Israel Department in my lifetime.
Don’t forget How VP Selection Joe Biden threatened to cut of aid to Israel or his other congressional buddies David Bonior and of course Mssrs. Lugar and Hagel.
Along with the Senator Obama’s campaign the other group that put on the pressure to remove Palin was J-Street, a group of self-hating Jews who created an organization to counter AIPAC’s pro Israel stance (supposedly funded by George Soros).Among the Jew haters on their advisory council Arab funded Lincoln Chafee, Obama adviser Rob Malley, Air America moneyman Shelby Drobman. Pamela of Atlas has a lot more about J-Street here J Street = F U Street, NJDC = KAPO
I would submit to you that the Pressure put on the Jewish Community to take Governor Palin off the Speaker’s list is just a precursor of what Senator Obama will do to Israel if (God Forbid) he is elected president. Folks if you care at all for Israel, please do not give credence to this kind of behavior from either political party. PLEASE STAY HOME ON MONDAY !! Don’t reward this disgusting behavior by the Obama campaign with your presence.
To be honest, I agonized for a few days before I wrote that post urging people to boycott. Ultimately my decision to boycott came down to not wanting to reward bullying behavior. If we teach the Obama campaign that it is easy to push around those who are pro-Israel and we will just blindly follow like nothing happened, if He wins (God Forbid) we will be teaching him what James Baker said about the Jews and the Republican party is true, “F**K the Jews, they won’t vote for us anyway.” If tomorrows rally is a failure, it will be blamed on Obama and his Democratic Party. Just another chink in the Obama is pro Israel myth. I hope that tomorrow’s rally is weak and Thursday’s at the Grand Hyatt is robust.

The truth is not always in the middle. Not all cultures are equal. There IS good and evil. Of course, diplomacy is preferred to war, when both sides engage in it. Notice that last bit. When both sides engage in it. If one side is talking and the other side is standing there with “talk to the hand” going, you have what we have now. You can only talk so long with a madman with a nuclear bomb aimed at your cities who publicly declares his intention of using it every 2 days.
Just to be clear, the Iranians have tested detonating a nuclear capable missle at apex. At the top of the flight arc. They have tested firing a missle from a cargo freighter. One like the many hundreds that approach American shores every day. The only conclusion is that they are developing an EMP strike capability against the continental United States, accomplished by surprise and not directly tracable back to Iran. A successful attack could cause the deaths of tens of millions of people through starvation alone over a year. Who here thinks they wouldn’t do it?
Seems Palin is a woman with a lot more foresight and understanding of Israel’s problems then the American Jewish leaders or Barack Oboma. For the organizers to cancel her appearance on the stage that she would have used to defend Israel from and pointed out the deceitful nature of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is politically stupid. It is also strange that Mahmoud gets the nod from Obama’s people but not Biden, Obama or Hillery, while Mahmoud is in town. Is there an Osterich in the House of God’s chosen people or have the Jewish elite become so removed from the real world that they can’t understand the ramifications of their lack of political unawareness?.
I am afraid that people are missing the real story here. The pressure to withdraw the invitation to Governor Palin has little to do with her. It is all about a President Obama’s foreign policy objectives. He could have sent Biden to the Ralley. He could have asked Senator Clinton to go. An Obama adminstration intends to flip US policy in the region from a pro-western/pro-Israel orientation to a pro-Iranian one. He has been surrounded by anti-Semites for his entire political career and in the guise of seeking “justice’ for Palestinians he is indifferent to the fate Israel and its people
What Donnie Mac Leod said!!
Thanks for posting Gov. Palin’s prepared comments. It would have been great to have her and Sen. Clinton there. What a missed opportunity.
I will not be attending the rally. If the organisers felt they didn’t need the extra publicity that Palin would have brought, or the extra people who would have come to hear her, then they don’t need me either, so why should I shlep out there?
What I really like about “good” con men is that after they are done fleecing you, you really don’t see it till some time later. Obama is such a person, only he doesn’t work for himself. This is where the shadows need to be given some light, so we can see who is on his team.
I think we already know the kind of people he has, don’t we?
Doesn’t that “crazy” neighbor down the street go off at some point? And after such an horrific event don’t the neighbors gather around and point fingers while saying something should have been done a long time ago because they knew something like this was going to happen, but no one would listen back then.
I remember the first time I saw that Ayatollah Khomeini’s mean looking face years ago as he plotted in France for his return to Iran.
Same thing with Yassar Arafat. It amazes me how many Jews demand that only talking should be employed against those who hate them and intend only to come to them with death in their eyes.
Then again, Freud never lacked for patients, now did he?
HEY “Deus” 4:15am
REMEMBER those words of yours about “paradise” . . .
as you’re being beheaded LIVE! on the internet, to spread “the word” . . .
Amen to all the above posters (except deus). I just want to add one small reminder: it was Hillary Clinton’s withdrawal that set off the whole affair. The woman who kissed Suha Arafat at the end of the latter’s diatribe against Israel has shown once again what’s important to her. I’m glad that a strong pro-Hillary partisan is now angry with the disinviters of Gov. Palin; but he should have known better long ago. To Mrs. Clinton, ego is more important than saving Israel. The organizations and individuals mentioned above should be condemned, but let’s not forget Hillary Clinton’s role.
The extremely disturbing reminder in all this is how the left intends to use the power of government to silence criticism and dissent. Note the threat of loss of tax exempt status to force acceptance of their demand to silence someone on the right. If this is what they do when they are not even in power, imagine what they might be capable of if they control all branches of government.
This is just part of a larger pattern that has been emerging for a decade or more.
The Clintons used the IRS, with audits of every conservative organization and every “bimbo” that erupted due to Bill’s inability to keep it zipped. Several months ago a democratic group called for audits of the tax exempt status of any organization creating ads against Obama. The formal Obama organization just a few weeks ago incited their fanatics on two diffenent occasions to flood the call lines of a popular Chicago talk radio show with specific talking points to disrupt the interviews of two respected authors critical of Obama. And Obama himself, backed by both Pelosi and Reid, have expressed strong support for the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” which would have the effect of shutting down talk radio, the only real source of information that conservatives have outside the blogosphere. Free speech is already a joke in the politically correct atmospheres of every school and university in the nation, where no conservative is allowed to set foot. In the media, and even in polite company, we are proscribed from using specific words in the name of PC.
Obama has promised to bring us all together.
In my opinion, he and the left do not want to do that in the old fashioned way, by forging consensus and popular support by persuasion. He will use the more modern methods elucidated in the novel “1984″, using the overwhelming power of government to make certain we all think the same thoughts – leftist ones.
Oh big deal, all that matters is that we Jewish voters realize a vote for Obama is a vote against ourselves, Zionism and Israel.
I always thought JEWS were smart people but maybe not so much anymore…supporting Obama after all that has been revealed truthfully about him is not very smart, actually it is not only dumb but dangerous. There is no greater danger than a fool with power and evil men as his advisors.
I’ve allways been on Israel side. Now that I learn that American Jews are mostly with Obama, I wonder why I should be. Maybe they know something I don’t and that it’s time to let Israel go!
Deus wrote …
“””…the only solution is diplomacy, listening and compromising. Respect for each other is utmost.“””
Obama will talk to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kim Ill Sun, Putin and everything will be OK. How clever. Why has anyone thought of it before?
How unfortunate that the Democrats chose to negatively impact what should have been a unified position by all Americans in their incessant drive to demean one woman.
The Democrats have embarrassed the Jewish community,their party and all Americans.
geokstr,
They call it “Liberal Fascism.” See Jonah Goldberg).
Hello Real. If Obama completes his shift Israel will not even exist but Mahoud will be in control of a Red Button pointed right at North America. Strange how the Democrats backed away from the pro Israeli rally and yet welcome Mahoud but the Rally leaders, never noticed the shift.

President Roosevelt tried listening, diplomacy and compromise with the Japanese. Their response was Pearl Harbor. Only after they were nuked did Japanese behavior change.
Likewise, Neville Chamberlain tried listening, diplomacy, and compromise with the Germans. Their response was to continue to invade their neighbors, and, when Chamberlain finally went to war over Poland, to commit genocide against the Jewish people. Only after the Wehrmacht, the Luftwaffe, and the Kriegesmarine were destroyed, and Germany was divided and occupied, did the Germans change their behavior.
The Iranians under the Mullahs are walking down that same path.
Everything can turn even worse for Obama:

“WOMEN UNITED INVITE PALIN TO PROTEST AHMADINEJAD
The rally I am attending has invited Palin to THIS RALLY ON THURSDAY 9/25!(it starts at 5:30 pm)
Women United has extended an invitation Governor Sarah Palin, among others, to address a press conference and rally to “Stop Ahmadinejad”, taking place in front of the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City on Thursday, September 25th protesting a meeting being held at the hotel between Iran’s President Ahmadinejad and various organizations wishing to open up with him a dialogue and who appear thereby to be providing tacit legitimacy to the Iranian president’s policies.”
Just imagine the effect: Obama campaign celebrates Ahmadinejad and Sarah participates in the protest, at the same time, at the same place. Isn’t it beautiful?
David P,
Big Deal? You are betting against your loss of freedom of speech of your beliefs and slow but sure erasure of our Liberties here in the US of A. Just voting is NOT enough. Our democratic system is being undermined by power mongers and socialist societal homeland political constitutional terrorists who are carving up our Constitutional Rights! If we do not wake up and show assertive, not aggressive, interest NOW, tomorrow will be too late! The “changes” here are occurring before our eyes. We will bare as witnesses and will be made responsible to our Jewish prodigy and to ISRAEL for the mistakes we make today in sitting complacent and idle and just watching it happen. What has happened to our Honour of RESPONSIBILTY?

dude, I’m very aware, I live in Santa Cruz, CA anti-semitism capital USA, surrounded by self-loathing Jews who shamelessly fly the Obama flag. I do what I can to educate my people, to help their ascent into reality, but mostly it’s hopeless. Lacking in applied experience, these arm chair activists see the world through politically correct lenses that skew, filter and dismiss facts deemed unconventional.
An appearance by Sarah Palin is worth more this minute than 10000 chanting flag wavers. A speech by Palin is worth more than press releases by 50 Media Directors. When I heard about this I was moved (after Shabbat, natch) to write to the Conference, the JCRC, the NJDC, the RJC and the McCain campaign as follows:

Re: Sarah Palin Disinvite
To the fatcat cowardly morons who made the ‘brilliant’ decision to disinvite Sarah Palin from Monday’s rally at the United Nations,
How many opportunities are the Jewish communities going to have to be joined by a decent well-intentioned national figure with common sense who will most probably have great influence in the near future and might eventually become a US President?
Why don’t you pay your PR people another half million dollars to figure it out?
Get a clue: You just reduced the effectiveness of this rally from national stature with vast reportage and an opportunity for major policy statements to dismissal to embarrassing nothingness. Who exactly the hell do you think is interested in listening to your organizations’ flacks bleat out their fears and toothless ‘demands’ on the world’s conscience. THE WORLD HAS NO CONSCIENCE. ONLY GOOD PEOPLE LIKE SARAH PALIN HAVE A CONSCIENCE. SHE IS A GIFT FROM GOD, IDIOTS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GET THE HELL OUT OF GOD’S WAY.
As Sidney Zion said, it took two thousand years to finally produce stupid Jews. You make me sick and unfortunately you will probably damage the Jewish future before you are dumped.
Ben Plonie
A former Monday attendee
P.S. As a concerned private Jewish citizen speaking for the entire Jewish nation, I hereby apologize to Sarah Palin and John McCain and urge them to bypass the idiotic figureheads of the Conference of Presidents of Jewish Organizations for any future meaningful input and find out who really speaks for the grassroots and the Jewish interest (probably people who make less than a zillion dollars a year in non-profits).
let me for one, add my disgust too. Obama’s people don’t realize the damage they have done to his campaign for forcing this move. you cannot convince Jews that Obama is safe for Israel and then sabotage a protest rally against an enemy of the Jewish people on his behalf. putting politics before the well-being of the blood of their brothers is sickening.
As of this morning our local (Milwaukee) talk radio was reporting that the organizers of the rally have commented that Obama campaign officials had informed them that they would sue to have the IRS revoke the “charity” status of a number of the involved Jewish organizations if they allowed Sarah Paling to appear at the rally.
Good old Obama…really gonna respect that First Amendment thingy if he wins.
I’ll bet if he wins in November, his administration puts far more effort into silencing white Evangelical pastors than they do into keeping track of Al Qaeda sleepers planning mayhem.
It is commonly understood Jews don’t pay taxes.
Gevalt, I should pay taxes? Better to die at the hands of Ahmadinejad. Who cares about anything if my tax exempt status may be rescinded. So a few million more jews perish in some future holocaust brought on by this madman Ahmadinejad who happens to be in our home making speeches why Israel should be wiped off the map, I’d rather not pay taxes than to demonstrate against this nut. Palin? Isn’t he from Monty Python? Why do we need a British comedian? Let’s get a Yiddish comedian. Jackie Mason, yeah, let’s invite him instead. Is he a Democrat/Leftist? Who cares as long as we don’t have to pay tax.
and with Penny Pritzer hosting dinner at her family’s Hyatt is no coincidence..bet you Valerie Jarret (Iranian born) will be ther also..Obama has no spine…he owes these two ladies big time…Pritzer failed bank SUPERIOR in 2002 and she owes FDIC $450 mill by 2017…Jarret failed Habitat vp whose housing the FEDS took over due to many code violations…(and now is hoping to be HUD secretary..Obama OWES everybody on his campaign…”no special interests huh?)
The difference here is obvious.
It’s a matter of character and leadership. One party is unfit to lead. To begin with, one must know right from wrong. Good from evil. Barry – and the Left – do not.
Barry is poison for America, and for the world.
Barry and the Left are narcissists — they behave selfishly and provocatively because they know nothing else. It’s to be expected from them whether the issue is foreign or domestic. And this action by the Left, beginning with Hillary’s refusal to share a forum with Palin, is revealing — and should be instructive to all Americans.
You can count on Barry the Weasel to stay in the shadows as he allows others to do the dirty deeds. He’ll keep his hands as clean as he can for as long as he can. And when the wake of it hits, causing distress, confusion and anger, he remains hidden. No words of wisdom. Because he has none.
On the other hand, Palin – and McCain – instinctively know what’s right. From the outset, they take the correct and mature position. And in the inevitable wake of the wrong and foolish decision of the Left, they remain firm. Following through with – as posted above – words and actions that reassure a troubled people that someone “gets it.” And will stand with us.
There should be no confusion now about who is fit to lead. And who will keep our nation on the right path.

You just reminded me of a King that got in God’s way and his son who recognized the King’s edict was the downfall of His chosen people. Substitute King Saul’s name with (the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations) of the anti-Iran rally and one can see how right you are.
24And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.
25And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.
26And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.
27But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.
28Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint.
29Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
30How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
By the looks of the Obama edicts demanding Palin be dropped, it looks like he is playing King Saul, though I suspect he is more likely a Philistine in sheep’s clothing.
Harry, you’re an idiot. The organizers of that rally are also idiots for cancelling Palin. I believe they should have let Palin speak.
I think it’s interesting that Obama is desperately trying to establish his foreign policy credentials, and he decides to show them off by threatening the tax-exempt status of a non-profit organization trying to protest the appearance in American of one of the cruelest and most appalling dictators this world has ever seen.
And, Harry, it is interesting that you blame the Jews and not Obama and democrats for making the threat against the organization. Most non-profit organizations would not be able to function without their tax-exempt status. Would you single out a Jewish organization to suffer that? I suppose most anti-semites don’t realize what they are. Now you know.
mee
As I said earlier in the day, the trashing of the rally had little to do with Palin’s appearence. She was just a convient excuse to use a cover for Obama’s eventual flip on the Middle East. He didn’t kill the rally because he owes anyone, he killed because he wants to support Iran’s objectives in the region.
888: A visionary and strategic thinker Obama definitely is not.
Er, you are wrong. It all depends on which side Obi is on, doesn’t it? He is definitely a visionary and strategic thinker to protect the Iranians from the pesky Jews, no? To paraphrase a European diplomat: Israel, a little shitty country.
Obi is a self-proclaimed “world citizen” who values European opinions more than ours, definitely more than the “shitty” little Jews’.
Well, there goes the myth that all Jews are smart.
To the despicable creatures who made the decision to disinvite Sarah Palin:
Read my lips, cowards! You do not speak for the Jewish people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My G-d is there no end to your cowardice and self-loathing? Worried that you may not be invited to the next gallery opening, cocktail party, whatever???
You cretins make me ill – and worse, you make me afraid.
A Philistine in sheep’s clothing Jerry. I am inclined to agree.
We have the leader of Iran who has said he wants to destroy Israel and we have a Jewish group who doesn’t want Sarah Palin to speak for the support of the country of Israel. Sarah Palin drew 60,000 people in Florida rally and would have been wonderful to draw support for Israel and against Iran but politics has once again raised it’s evil little head. This is the reason why the American people have had nothing done in this country I believe it’s called gridlock or BS in some circles. We bailout Wall Street and we have American who can’t afford health care and have serious health concerns. Now these same people that are being bailed out are keeping their million dollar bonuses. Since the democrats had a hand in the whole anti-Iran debacle makes me that much happier that I am voting for McCain and Sarah Palin.
I too come from a long line of Democrats. I cant believe what I see and hear from my party. I truly believe that we have become Marxist anti -Israel thugs. I can no longer support this philosophy. What is ironic is that it took a women to expose my party–the Democrats–to what they truly are–bigots who will say ,do or sell-out anyone or anything that gets in the way.Thanks Sarah–you go girl!!!
Sarah Palin is a total retard and I can’t blame anyone who would go to any lengths to distance themselves from that level of stupidity.
It’s funny how jews and christians are so eager to huddle up when their political and economic objectives are comparable, even tho they be in direct contradiction to their religious dogmas, I mean, who needs to practice tolerance and forgiveness when you can just bomb the shit out of your enemy and ask for forgiveness later.
I’m not an anti-semite (at least no more than I’m an anti-chrisitian or an anti-islamic) I’m just a humanist who believes that religion has no place in politics or economics.
I see we have a troll doing another drive by thinking he is making an intelligent statement with his name calling. So I am going to change the tone and issue a challenge and we can see who the retard is.
Ok Lyndon, I am going give a short list of Palin’s accomplishments. I offer you an opportunity to list Obama’s. If you don’t answer that means you admit that he has none. If you attack Palin’s accomplishments then you admit Obama has none. Once we get the list then we can each have a simple rebuttal. Think you can handle it?
Palin has been the mayor. Maybe it’s a small town but she was still responsible for public safety, roads, schools, sanitation and whatever else is required to run a community. She is a State Governor who has taken on the corrupt Ted Stevens Republican machine and its Democratic equivalent. She has successfully negotiated with the oil companies to increase Alaska’s share of the take and negotiated a deal to build a joint Canadian-US gas pipeline that essential if we were to move in the direction of T Boon Picken’s energy plan.
Over to you Lyndon!
Lyndon Pery:
You are not a “humanist” at all…you are just the standard “narcissist” who hides from the mirror while telling others (projecting) how wrong they are. Jerk.
I cannot believe the obvious torment of the libs. They have lost any moral compass they might have had. I do promise however, not to feel pity for these dangerous people. If it’s war they want, then damn it, it is war they will be dealt.
The far Left Jews who heroically pressured the rally orgainizers to drop Sarah Palin did the Jews and Israel a big favor. Obama had his surrogates do this because he is for unity and wants to unite us all, Republicans and Democrats, aand even including Ahmadinejad. The rally shouldn’t even be held because it divides us. It just aggravates Ahmadinejad, who already feels threatened, even worse. Obama’s foreign policy is that he would rather we have a nice cup of java with the President of Iran and discuss our differences than for us all to be protesting on the streets against contrived threats of nuclear annhilation, genocide, and terrorism on a scale never imagined and all this cowboy gauché saber-rattling theatrics.
And perhaps if the Jewish people had been more understanding and less aggravating towards Hitler and the German people, the Holocaust would never have happened too. The great minds behind these actions prove that at least a few Jews are conscious of history.
wallis, real:
What???
Very good candidates for a basic class in logical thinking. Go to Wikipedia and enter “Logic”:
“As a formal science, logic investigates and classifies the structure of statements and arguments, both through the study of formal systems of inference and through the study of arguments in natural language. The field of logic ranges from core topics such as the study of validity, fallacies and paradoxes, to specialized analysis of reasoning using probability and to arguments involving causality. Logic is also commonly used today in argumentation theory.”
You keep putting words in my mouth. Is your fuzzy thinking caused by drugs? They are rattling your neurons.
Disinviting Gov. Sarah Palin strikes right at the heart of Obama’s base, alienating the loyal jewish vote. It questions his assertions of being a uniter , and exposes his Chicago style political bent. ” The ends justify the means ” Philosophy rears its angry head once again this election cycle.
One wonders …. now that another demographic has been wounded, who will he step on next ? the unions, teachers ,students, …..
I’ve never understood why so many American Jews worship the democrats. Sure, commies are commies but why support the party that is working against you and your interests?
Ezekiel 39
1 “Son of man, prophesy against Gog and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of [e] Meshech and Tubal. 2 I will turn you around and drag you along. I will bring you from the far north and send you against the mountains of Israel. 3 Then I will strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand. 4 On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birds and to the wild animals. 5 You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD. 6 I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in safety in the coastlands, and they will know that I am the LORD.
7 ” ‘I will make known my holy name among my people Israel. I will no longer let my holy name be profaned, and the nations will know that I the LORD am the Holy One in Israel. 8 It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign LORD. This is the day I have spoken of.
And how exactly is Obama supportive of Israel?
schnargley:
Excellent point. It was all the hate speech by the German Jews directed towards Hitler that transmorphed the attitude of the Germans and led to the rise of the Nazis. He really had no choice but to act – the Germans were all asking “why do they hate us?”.
Most Jews, especially New york City Upper West Siders would vote for Hitler if he ran as a Democrat.
They’d simply ask for a more comfortable ride to the ovens.
Call me skeptical about Jews ever voting for a Republican?
Stanley Baldwin, 2008 version:
“It seems for these people politics and their personal political agenda were more important than Israel and America’s security”
“Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations”.
Doesn’t the name say it all? What hubris!
Who elected these “machers”(big shots)?
What, besides their financial clout and boundless desire for “kovod”(glory) gives them the authority to speak on behalf of anyone other than themselves?
They are all leftist toadies who follow the party line of the Democratic Party and the Israeli Left like lemmmings.
What a pathetic group of “tuches leckers”(ass kissers)!-They are a source of embarrassment to every decent and fair-minded person. This is only the latest in a very long series of incompetent decisions.
Get rid of all these egomaniacal bums and all their useless self-aggrandizing organizations. Who needs them?
jms2008,
I’m sorry you didn’t get the sarcasm especially after I referred to Michael Palin the former Monty Python member and not Sarah Palin. BTW there were plenty of Jews protesting the Iranian madman’s appearance in Manhattan today tax exempt or not. Save your rhetoric for the George Soros’ and other leftist morons who’d sell out their brethren and countrymen for the sake of their leftist ideology and hatred of anything Bushian or Republican. In my opinion Jews should be avoiding democrats like the plague. I am a jew and a democrat and I approved this message.
Right, Donnie Mac Leod, that’s why we still read it! Sure, the Democratic campaign, their lapdogs the National Jewish Democratic Comittee, ‘J Street’ the suicide activists all had a part.
But my anger is directed at the empty suits who supposedly represent Jewish organizational leadership. These buffed-up yuppies spend their days having their asses kissed by ambitious underlings and hangers-on, hearing how smart and heroic and self-sacrificing they are. Wave a letter from a lawyer and they dive into hidey-holes like Maus the Mouse. They should have published those threatening lawyer letters worldwide and told the letter writers where to stick them. Their tax status was never in jeopardy but if it was they owe it to all of us ‘funding’ them lose the status and sue the other guy’s brains off. Whatsamatter, don’t know any lawyers? What a weak and stupid threat! It’s enough to make me believe in conspiracies. Barry Chamish, here I come!
They still think they are the head counselors back in summer camp, egging on the campers for Color War. These phonies are leaders without followers. How many man-dollar-hours are burnt up putting a rally like this together. How many people spend it willingly in the hope of getting something accomplished, imagining their sacrifice is in good hands? But not now. Let’s take away their limos and their power.
The Conference of Presidents was actually at the request of Roosevelt’s antisemitic secretary of state, in order to more easily blow off all the Jews at once instead of one-by-one. It’s still happening. Instead of facing the real Jews, a little leverage threw all the efforts and wishes and preferences of the real Jews down the toilet.
George Soro, does not have Israel’s interest at heart.
Gov. Palin has always been a staunch backer of Israel, and so do majority of the evangelicals and conservatives. This will leave a bad taste, and result in hard feelings, and probably will effect the uncondintional financial support of Israel, as well. Maybe Soro’s intentions was to cause this division between the evangelicals and Israel, to begin with.
Liberal Democrats are not friend of Israel.
Ahmadinejad should send a thank you note to Democrat party and Obama too.
George Soro, is the most dangerous man in the world, and surely hates America.
I cannot understand why so many Jews are democrats when most democrats don’t support Israel. Why is this? Also, why don’t they support the modern state of Israel? Seriously, these are burning questions I have. Anyone have any insight?
Hello Ben. As a devote Christian I can never understand who Christ is without the Old Testament. Thus I find the Power of God in the Books that come before the New Testament. I am in awe that the Chosen People can not fathom who their friends are, from who their enemies are. I have no doubt whatsoever that McCain/Palin are more apt to protect Jewish people in both secular and religious freedoms, then Obama.
These self loathing jews, the likes of which include Streisand and Spielburg, actually preffer to support the muslim fanatics over the Republicans. The jews will surely be turned into lampshades by dinner jacket and his fellow anti semitic maniacs. Iran has a stated national goal of killing all Jews. Unbelievable but true. Do these fools think their “security” will protect them from the muslims?. These Hollywood types should take a clue from the great Jewish directer Fritz Lang, who, when asked by Joseph Goebbels to make propaganda movies for Hitler, got the hell out of Germany the very next day. This, in 1933. WAKE UP YOU STUPID PEOPLE.
Old Snaggle-tooth (Schnargley)is at it again. Do you really think the leader of Iran would want to sit around a campfire and sing kumbaya with us? I would love to see the look of dispair on your face when your muslim brothers hold you down to behead you. That is what they do. They don’t sing and play your dumb ass games. They want all Jews and Christians dead. I know you are not a Christian, but they would want you dead anyway. Maybe because you are so pathetic.
As a Christian who has been a lifelong supporter of Israel, it is heartwarming to read the comments expressing support for Sarah Palin and outrage at the blatant cowardice of the organizers who disinvited her. One of my first lessons in Sunday School was about God’s chosen people and Israel, the birthplace of our shared faith. God will always bless those who love Israel whether they are Jews or not.
I too and confused over the why when it comes to Jews almost always voting and supporting Democrats. I worked in the Middle East for a while several years ago and the absolute hatred of Israel and Jews taught there makes the anti-semitism we see here look like a marble against a 10 ton boulder. It is too bad American Jews don’t understand just how violently hated they are by these radical zealots. Maybe if they were to actually encounter an Iranian in person in Iran, they might change their mind. At one time it was so bad that when Egypt and Israel signed the Camp David Accord, even in moderate Dubai, they wouldn’t even allow an Egyptian finish on the hotel we were building because they were so angry at Sadat. The representative of the ruling sheik actually visited the jobsite and warned us to remove all references to the Egyptian finish or else.
Well, I am anxiously awaiting Thursday to see how it all plays out. Go Sarah!
What happened to “never again” my Jewish friends?
Has that been changed to “just kidding mahmoud?”
Quote:”As of this morning our local (Milwaukee) talk radio was reporting that the organizers of the rally have commented that Obama campaign officials had informed them that they would sue to have the IRS revoke the “charity” status of a number of the involved Jewish organizations if they allowed Sarah Paling to appear at the rally.”
There is a name for this sort of thing. It’s called Stalinism. All opposition must be silenced.
I find it unfortunate that the same Senators who authored recent legislation against Voter Intimidation (Sen. Obama and Sen. Schumer) are also among those whose interests were to be ostensibly served through the intimidation of the people who had invited Governor Palin to share this excellent speech with the American public.
In the same way that Iran’s Head of State is called to answer for the intimidation of his people, we must take the coercive, dictatorial behavior of these short-sighted partisans of the Democratic Party and their cat’s paws to task.
Mrs. Palin experienced a lawless virtual incursion of her private correspondence this week; most media cannot now be trusted; access to alternative sources of information on the internet is manipulated through baksheesh rendered to Google.
Now these contentious, divisive thugs of dis-integrity within our own borders, among our own people, are *openly* intimidating individuals and organizations with paper tigers with stripes of “tax exempt status” and the like. And what next?
Does brutal intimidation not always begin with legal manipulation and coercion? Such tactics are no different in spirit than the ones used on much smaller scales by groups such as the White Citizens’ Councils during the period that so many of today’s Democrats cynically look to for inspiration.
Must these extortionists be permitted to accrue the power of Presidential authority before individuals are willing to comprehend the implications of these controlling, aggressive intentions and behaviors? Who are they serving? Certainly not a free people!

To Deus and Lyndon Pery re logic and tolerance:
Liberals are not really concerned about logic and facts. They play the tolerants but demonize their adversaries. They have no time to look at the facts. They are essentially ideologues who by intellectual laziness practice political correctness. At this game, the more “tolerant” you are, the better you look. Until a child comes and reveals that the king is naked. That innocent child might be Sarah Palin.
For more on that mental disease:

Hmmmm, Hilary pulls out, Obama get the blame… we’ll I guess what my Israeli-American friend told me must be true…that Clinton would rather the Republicans won than Obama, and then she gets to step in in 4 years time after they’ve screwed up the USA and most of the rest of the world even more. Most of that stuff about Obama’s Muslims links came from the Clinton camp after all! It’s just sad that so many Americans are falling for it!
They say that a country gets the government it deserves… it’s just a shame that in the case of the USA it will have such a big impact on the rest of us!
It’s Tuesday Morning and I see nothing from my friend Lydon (or any other Obama-ites) I guess they have pleaded no-contest to the fact that Sarah Palin is much more accomplished person the Barak Obama. I will continue challenging out opponents on this issue for the rest of the election cycle.
So no reply by Lyndon, what a surprise.
The stroke pulled by Obama and the democrats is exactly the tactics used in Europe for quite some time, though we have now moved on to irregulars whipped up to prevent lawful gatherings.
Sadly its weakened the chance to demonstrate againsts Irans policies with a large crowd, vote in Obama and you will soon end up like me, a European, shaking my head and wondering where has my democracy gone…
This was a cowardly act by the “Presidents …”. Some cosponsering organizations were not consulted in the decision to disinvite. At least Chaim Rumkowski had a gun to his head. What did they have? Loss of a tax exemption? No wonder antiSemites treat us Jews with contempt. My response was to send more money to the McCain-Palin campaign and the Republican Jewish Coalition.
You will get no contempt from this Christian Canadian, Neil. However I can not respect leaders of your community that can not see how this playing up to the people that are most likely to stab them in the back is certainly, a mistake.
sour grapes

is reporting that Barry’s telling McCain not to play politics with Israel!
He must think we’re idiots.
OK, I know that I’m probably going to regret asking this, but what exactly is it that Jewish Democrats hate so much about Obama? I really don’t understand why four more years of the Republicans is a better option. Especially if/when McCain doesn’t make it to the end and you end up with President Palin.
I’M ASKING A SERIOUS QUESTION, SO NO ABUSE PLEASE!
Nic,
One of the always beautiful thing about Jews is that they love to read.
Follow their example. Go read Freddoso’s “The Case against Obama”.
Then you will know Obama was nurtured on the milk of Saul Alinsky (who Idolized Satan as the first Radical), a whole bevey of folks who pretty much think we inflicted AIDS on blacks and that 911 was cool, and not to mention a couple who think that having Hezbollah and Hamas rolling dice to see who gets to drop Zyclon B into the NEW AUSCHWITZ gas chambers in Western Jerusalem would a great entertainment venue.
All hyperbole aside, they know that Obama is NOT good for Jews, the Bill of Rights (or “bitter clingers” like me)!!
Oh my,Nic. I’ll try not to abuse you. I’m a Repub. (That’s when you are on your 2nd or 3rd pub of the night.) I’m part Jewish, so I have some affinity for them as a race and culture, although I’ve met very few whom I’ve ever liked.
That said, as a Jew, you have to be insane to vote for Obama. The name’s a clue. Dig a little. He’s half-white, but 3/8 Arab. He’s only a little bit black. He’s an Arab with a perfect disguise as an American black. His childhood was spent in Muslim schools. To integrate into American black culture, he dove into Marxism and the Black Theology cult. His hero growing up was… Louis Farrakhan! Obama was in that “Million-Man March”.
Can you not yet see the stormclouds on the horizon, yet? Like a previous poster said, the Jews seem to have lost their ability to recognize their mortal enemies. Any other questions? I got answers.
Wayne: OK, so you want me to base my opinion on one book?
As you say, “One of the always beautiful thing about Jews is that they love to read”, my partner reads at every opportunity…only not the same book over and over…
I was hoping for something more solid!
Marc: OK, so as a Republican you aren’t going to be a fan of Obama, but again, I’d hoped for something more than “He’s half-white, but 3/8 Arab”. The Muslim schools has all been disproved. And what is wrong with someone reading Marx?
As the Louis Farrakhan/Million Man March thing, according to Fox News (hardly Obama fans) he was there to observe and was critical of Farrakhan at the time! Obama is quoted as saying, “What I saw was a powerful demonstration of an impulse and need for African-American men to come together to recognize each other and affirm our rightful place in the society. But what was lacking among march organizers was a positive agenda, a coherent agenda for change. Without this agenda a lot of this energy is going to dissipate. Exhortations are not enough, nor are the notions that we can create a black economy within America that is… sealed from the rest of the economy and seriously tackle the major issues confronting us.” Doesn’t sound like support for Farrakhan to me! Obama has also openly critised Farrakhan over his anti-Semitism.
I’ll ignore your comment, “I’m part Jewish, so I have some affinity for them as a race and culture, although I’ve met very few whom I’ve ever liked.” I’m sure that the only reason you didn’t get jumped on by other is that you were trashing Obama!
Again I ask why four more years of the Republicans is a better option. Especially if/when McCain doesn’t make it to the end and you end up with President Palin.
It’s better for the Jews, because the ‘Pubs will support Israel, guaranteed. Devout Christians are generally in the Republican party. They support Israel. I mean, really support Israel. Palin has 3 flags in her Governor’s office: U.S.; AK; Israel. You think she won’t support Israel? She is totally in the tank for them.
Since I’m part Jewish, I get to be really critical of them. That’s why I don’t get jumped on. I’ve met two Israeli jews. I liked them. I’ve met one American Jew whom I liked. He was planning to emigrate to Israel. I had a Jewish boss and one colleague I liked. Not coincidentally, they were fairly devout. All the others I’ve met, well, I’ve not liked them much. They displayed all the traits that are the caricatures of Jewishness.
As a Jewish woman I am disappointed by you, Sarah Palin, and your obvious ignorance about the Holocaust, your established associations with known anti-Semites, and your willingness exploit sensitivities among Jews and non-Jews to push an agenda of aggression against Iran. I was offended during the VP debate, when you invoked the quote ‘NEVER AGAIN’ in referring to financial institutions, bankers, and lenders in the U.S. – How dare you hijack the most famous quote related to the Holocaust, these two solemn and revered words that refer to unspeakable atrocities – words that you commandeered and bantered about simply to score political points and to provoke the emotions of American citizens over a problem your boss helped create. How dare you even utter those words when you are on tape being hand-blessed against witch-craft by a preacher who in the same breath demands the removal of Israelites from US financial and political system calling Jews crooks and liars – you admittedly participated in this disgrace, and yet your have the nerve to actively seek the Jewish vote. In the future please refrain from using your “2nd Holocaust” rhetoric. Someone needs to explain to you that Israel is not a luxury concentration camp where the Jews of the world are kept safe by the U.S. If Iran launches a nuclear strike against Israel it is NOT a 2nd holocaust, any strike on Israel, nuclear or otherwise is an act of WAR. Got that? No? Let me explain. Israel is a sovereign nation (20% of its population made up of Arabs – who are equally at risk). Israel is perfectly capable of defending itself against Iran, and when sufficiently threatened will not hesitate take out said nuclear threats – as they did in Syria and Iraq. Not to belabor the point, but Israel doesn’t need the U.S. to play ball. Sarah, you are too ignorant for me to believe there is malice behind your Antisemitism. What I do believe is that you lack even the slightest bit of awareness and integrity that might otherwise safeguard against such inappropriate rhetoric. This insensitivity and callousness (that you have proudly displayed with great enthusiasm while stumping for your boss) combined with your overwhelming ignorance makes you unfit to even aspire to a higher office.
Anti-Freedom of Speech Rally or Anti-Ahmadinejad Rally at the U.N.?
I was at Anti-Ahmadinejad rally at the U.N. and I felt I was at Anti-Freedom of Speech rally in Iran. The organizers told me that I couldn’t hold a sign that said, “ Jews against Ahmadinejad and Obama: No U.S. President to meet Genocidal Terrorist or Rogue Regime” (In fact I was on the front cover of the Jewish Press September 26 , 2008 issue with a brown shirt but I was a little blocked out because of people standing in front of me with the sign) . Clearly this violated my first amendment right of free speech. The basic idea of the rally was to protest that this is a free country where every being has right to express himself unlike in Iran where a person is arrested or put to death for speaking against the government. I was shocked to see a orthodox religious man with a beard who probably worked for the JCRC or UJA come over to me and say put down the sign. He called over a police officer and told him that this is nonpartisan rally. The police officer laughed and said he has no right to tell me that and this is a public street and I have the right of freedom of speech. If I was Iran I would have been arrested or put to death. Obviously the organizers were pro appeasement Iran Obama supporters and they think they have the right to silence the opposition like in Iran.
I ask the organizers of the rally , if we only hear one side of the opposition then we are no better then Iranian Islamic government. Shame on the organizers for running a Iranian style rally. Last week’s Jewish Press front cover stated that “ 80% of orthodox Jews support McCain”, this is because of McCain’s strong stance against a Nuclear Iran as opposed to Obama’s appeasement of a Nuclear Iran. I wonder is this they way it was during WWII where orthodox Jews tried to protest to President Roosevelt about the plight of millions of Jews in Europe like the Peter Bergson group but were silenced by the liberal Stephen Wise groups. If we orthodox Jews cannot express our views and opinions at rallies and protests supporting Israel then who is going to help Israel in times of nuclear threats and annihilation.
