Clinton Backs Out of Anti-Iran Rally After Organizers Also Invite Palin
 
  WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has canceled an appearance at a New York rally next week after organizers blindsided her by inviting Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, aides to the senator said Tuesday.
Several American Jewish groups plan a major rally outside the United Nations on Sept. 22 to protest against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Organizers said Tuesday that both Clinton, who nearly won the Democratic nomination for president, and Palin, Republican candidate John McCain's running mate, are expected to attend.

That would have set up a closely scrutinized and potentially explosive pairing in the midst of a presidential campaign, one in which the New York senator is campaigning for Democratic nominee Barack Obama while Palin actively courts disappointed Clinton supporters.

Clinton aides were furious. They first learned of the plan to have both Clinton and Palin appear when informed by reporters.

"Her attendance was news to us, and this was never billed to us as a partisan political event," said Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines. "Sen. Clinton will therefore not be attending."

A McCain-Palin campaign official, speaking on condition of anonymity because Palin's schedule for Monday has not been announced, said only that Palin tentatively planned to attend the rally.

Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, did not immediately return messages Tuesday seeking comment, nor did other organizers of the rally. Other event sponsors are the National Coalition to Stop Iran Now, United Jewish Communities and the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York.

Both McCain and Obama have made strong appeals to Jewish voters, particularly in critical states like Florida. Obama has emphasized to Jewish audiences his commitment to Israel's security, and has worked to dispel doubts created by false rumors that he is Muslim.

Could this be Hildabeast's attempt at scuttling the dems chances this year to clear the way for herself in 2012?

Ding, Ding, Ding...We have a winner. Thanks for playing.

Just one of many of the ways.

How many ways can I scuttle your candidacy? Let me count the ways . . . .

Hitlery and BJ are two of the sleaziest, morally corrupt and bankrupt people I have ever seen. And I have seen a few.

 I think that Hillary is trying to throw the vote to McCain.  If Hussein Obamba wins, she can't run in 2012.  if McCain wins, she can.  Also on the news, one of her big backers (a Rothschild ) is switching to McCain.

 Go to www.drudgereport.com of www.lucianne.com for the full story on that.

 I think that it all is a coordinated effort to get McCain in there.  One thing we know about the Clintons, every move they make is calculated and I think that's what is going on.  Her goal is the White House for herself and McCain in there in 2008 is the best way.  Not only that, that stupid Obama campaign didn't have the cahoona's to put her on the ticket.  A HUGE mistake.

I couldn't agree more.  Had Hitlery been the VP candidate it would have been "game over" for the election.  The only problem for B-HO is that he would then, in effect, have had three Presidents in the White House.  Cuz with Hitlery you get Bill.  Some package deals are best avoided.

ALL politicians were just uninvited. Guess the Jewish voters didn't need to see the Obama camp and Hillary snub them in such a public forum.
