The organizers of an anti-Iran rally Monday rescinded their invitation to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin after Democrats protested that her presence would turn the event into a political rally, McCain campaign and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.Apparently, now all "political figures" have been disinvited. But that disinvitation appears to have sprung from the motivation of shutting out Sarah Palin.
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....
Ahmadinejad has clearly stated his desire to annihilate Israel. Yet the administrators of the rally against his regime are worried about some kind of political correctness. Unbelievable!

If she was planning on being in NY, she might as well have a rally of her own then.
