Wowie speech.

She quotes Hillary Clinton! I wonder what Herself thinks of that.

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!

With Democrats - it's not about what is best for this nation - it's about manipulation for the spot-light and power grabbing.

Democrats are despicable.

This speech was fantastic, I would have loved to see her deliver it. I haven't read anything about this yet, but I assume DinnerJacket has backed off his prior attempt to visit ground zero. Better not try and press his luck, he's crazy not stupid.

re: #1 buzzsawmonkey

Nice and clear. No wonder they didn't want her to give it.

Exactly!

Wow!

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.

How dare she speak with such authority. Only holy and precious power-grubbing manipulation-Marxist-Democrats are allowed to do that.

re: #3 doppelganglander

Besides, Iran is a serious threat, and the more people who can be brought to agree to that, the better.

Self-serving assholes.

People who spend their lives (almost to the point of death) serving the polity are toxic to them. Like sunlight to vampires.

Democrats - the party of a nuclear Iran.

Will 0bama be meeting Ahmadinejad in a dinner where they can both trade anti-Semitic remarks?

Meanwhile, even the IAEA thinks Iran is hiding a nuclear weapons program.

And an expert thinks they're 6-7 months away from having the materials to make a bomb.

Physicist and former UN nuclear inspector David Albright says says Teheran could reach weapons capacity in as little as 6 months through uranium enrichment.

re: #20 FrogMarch

the whole thing made hillary look like slime balls they are.

There may be some confusion in the video I posted in the video links. It starts out just like another video of 0bama giving us his 'plans' for the non-defense of our Country.
But, it is juxtaposed with what is happening in the world today that completely contradicts everything 0bama says.
It is long but very powerful when you see just how dangerous his thinking about defending us is in such an uncertain climate. Some students took his little speech and combined it with video of current world events that threaten America.
I have emailed it to my entire list and I do believe everyone should really see this video.
So here it is, so you don't have to visit the links.

re: #11 Dianna

I'm sure you're right. I think it's great that she quotes Clinton and notes their points of agreement, just as I thought it was very gracious of her to acknowledge Clinton's achievements in her presidential campaign. I also think it probably infuriates Clinton.

the dems are afraid of strong statements like this.
they are incapable of making them.
typical weak but power hungry fools.

The Democrats are despicable enough, but the UN is worse.

Ahmadinejad should not be allowed to give speeches there. No way they should reward someone who has called for the destruction of at least one other country to be honored. Iran should be suspended or thrown out for such statements, which go against everything the UN is supposed to stand for.

It shows how far they have sunk, and that the best thing is to get rid of the UN and replace it with something like McCain's League of Democracies.

re: #25 newsjunkie_ky

Thank you.

re: #1 buzzsawmonkey

Nice and clear. No wonder they didn't want her to give it.

I think they wanted her to give it, but buckled to "pressure" (DNC or equivalent). That might have been the right decision, if they really want the rally to focus on Iran and ImaDinnerJacket and not the prez race here in the US.

I'm very glad to understand that that is the actual speech, and not somebody's opinion of what she would have said.

It still needs saying, but I understand (reluctantly) why the decision was made, and can't say (reluctantly) I'd have made a different decision.

re: #20 FrogMarch

Nice, very subtle. ha!

As we're seeing more and more the media and democrats are joined together to CHANGE this country to one where they are the only HOPE. In that way they can control everything. They've sold their souls to get it.

Coercion, intimidation, lies, manipulation ... nothing is low enough.

Oh -- great speech BTW. I wish she'd been allowed to make it at the proper place and time. But then, if the dems have there way, Sarah Palin will be blacklisted everywhere.

Amen Sarah.

It is both hilarious and repellent to see the Dems doing everything they can to bury Palin, deny her, demonize her, destroy her. Like vampires shrinking from the dawn, they recognize her American authenticity and are sore afraid.

Palin's VP acceptance speech was a watershed and game changer. I don't know that is the level of Bryan's "Cross of Gold" acceptance speech. Time will tell.

re: #62 buzzsawmonkey

I suspect, BTW, that the IRS threats were less of a problem for the sponsoring organizations than the fear that if they had Palin speak they would undermine their donor base. Jews are overwhelmingly in the bag for the Democrats, and those who are members of the academic middle class are very, very anti-Palin.

Allowing Palin to speak even with a Democrat of equal or near-equal prominence would have been a risk to the donor base; without a comparable Democrat to provide a plausible-deniability antidote ("We just had prominent members of both parties, it's not like we don't hate her as much as you do") was a risk the organizing entities found unacceptable.

Until I read something more specific than what I've read so far, I don't know that I can believe that someone threatened their tax-exempt status.

"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."

Only the credible threat of imminent military action will produce results. Sadly, that was glaringly absent from Palin's speech.

re: #100 buzzsawmonkey

I agree with you; for one thing, it is hard to see how such a threat would be put into effect.

However, it reads well enough--"Oh, well, nobody wants to take on the IRS"--to work as a cover for the real reason, which, as I have suggested, is much more probably the organizing groups' fear of alienating their donor base. I am sure that fear was very real, and very much based in reality--and I am equally sure that it is not something that anyone connected with any of the organizing groups would want to discuss even in a whisper.

Until I read names, I'm leaning towards calling "bullshit".

2. the world now sees how feckless the dems are. no wonder every freaking enemy of the US wants obama to win. we must NOT allow this to happen without going HARD at those who do.

3. this crap, coupled with Congressional and Senate leaders showing their willingness to hurt the country in order to win an election. We better wake up NOW.

By the way, Obama voted against designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization. He said he didn't want to give the Bush administration any justification for attacking Iran.

I just "contacted" the McCain campaign with the following:

The New York Sun published what is alleged to be the text of Gov. Palin's speech to the anti-ahmadinejad rally.

That speech is very effective as published, and if it is the text, I believe it deserves a place on your web site.

I am registered as "unaffiliated", and intend to remain that way.

If they add the speech, I'll be happy.

I know. Compare that 60,000 people to Obama's second biggest venue in the US - the one with the free concert by the Decembrists in Oregon.

The difference is she's drawing in the independents.

re: #16 Nevergiveup

She drew 60,000 in Florida. 60,000. That is an astonishing number. They can't really silence her, no matter how they try.

And on the other hand the Hollywood elite:
60th Emmys hit all-time ratings low

See a trend here?

I didn't watch any of the Emmys (who cares?), but during the Dallas-Green Bay game, Al Michaels mentioned that Don Rickles won his first Emmy, and that he'd run into Rickles recently, who told Al that he was nervous about whether he'd win the award. Congrats, Don!

re: #119 Nevergiveup

I am sure the McCain/Palin camp leaked it. And there is nothing wrong with doing that.

There's nothing wrong with doing that. I'd just like to know that it's ACTUALLY the speech she would have given -- not just a supporter's hopeful fantasy.

You know...... there's a hell of a lot of lying, fake, and phony going on out there. Suppose a liberal rag published a really crap speech, wouldn't you want to know whether or not it was really hers?

re: #101 Dianna

The forum made the difference. I don't believe, btw, that calling for military action in the middle of the campaign is a good idea. She's not setting policy.
Yet.

Yes, you are right, and it's not her call in any case. That being the case, the speech would have been politically clever but tactically counterproductive so I'm glad it was not delivered.
Still, it appears for now that U.S.- Iran policy does not include a credible military option, and Israel will likely have to act alone or not at all. Hopefully that will change after the election.

"I am still not convinced of that. How many of those 60,000 in Florida were Jewish?"

60,000 in "The Villages". I'm betting you could count the number of Jews on one hand. The Villages is in a more rural part of the state. Jews don't do rural. That would be too redneck for them.

I'm getting a geography lesson in Florida here. OK I'll bow to a greater expert on the citrus state than I am. But 60,000 still sounds impressive.

re: #145 Crusty

Palin makes powerful, fact-driven, non-partisan speeches, agreeing with her political opponents, to denounce tyranny.

The Obama camp hires professional hatchet men to post YouTube videos claiming she's responsible for everything from the Great Chicago Fire to diaper rash.

Why are there any undecided voters in this country?

They're off in their own little pre-9/11 worlds, imagining the U.S. is still the way it was between, say, 1976 and 1992, and Obama is just another pro-labor Democrat. They probably have no clue whatsoever about his associations or his real ideology, or if they have heard anything, they think it's just the Republican smear machine at work.

I don't understand this. Where does the NY Slimes find the funds to continue?

And why doesn't the Sun just go exclusively to a Web edition?

The NYTimes is currently eating itself to continue operations - which is why their stock is tanking, but they still have many assets at their disposal to eat through.

re: #147 Nevergiveup

I am surprised anyone fell for that ruse. It would be suicidal for all these organizations to start trying to fool with the others tax free status. When the smoke cleared they would all be up the river with out the proverbial paddle. It was a bluff, but apparently it worked?

I don't know if you're aware of how the "tax exempt" bit works. One pays 2% excise tax on - what amounts to - one's capital. If you are under investigation, you're going to need to place "normal" taxes in an escrow account.

When you're trying to pay out 5% of the market value of your endowment, that can get very, very difficult.

Especially since so many core donors need to claim the charitable deduction, that gets very difficult.

It doesn't take long to really cut into a charity.

If it was a bluff, it's one no charity can ignore, or risk.

re: #94 His Favorite Heretic

And I still think she'd like that.

But Palin changes things. Because one way or the other, Hillary is going to be running against Palin for President in 2012.

I still think Hillary wants Obama to lose. Bill is going around praising Palin and not Obama. The Clintons in fact have been by far the nicest people on the left to Palin: Bill praises her, Hillary refuses to attack her.

They possibly have a better sense than the left in general of how most sane people are outraged by the virulent reaction to Palin and wisely refuse to pile on. Those could be Hillary's female or independent voters in 2012.

I am day dreaming here. I most certainly to not want to see a nuclear holocaust anywhere, anytime. That said. If an American WOMAN could slap down a maniacal midget muslim misogynist it would sent a very powerful message.

IMHO, this is touchy…. But wasn’t this a Jewish group or groups that disinvited Palin? I assume this group wants the U.S. to support Israel unconditionally? Let me say that these Jewish groups that disinvited Palin are not doing the cause of unconditional support for Israel any good. They are poking the eye of the people that offer far more actual support to Israel than any other group of people in the U.S., conservatives. Frankly, it pisses me off.
My apologies to my Jewish friends and acquaintances here, but this insults me.

re: #166 pre-Boomer Marine brat

Governor Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president, was scheduled to speak today at a rally in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza to protest the appearance here of President Ahmadinejad of Iran. Her appearance was canceled by rally organizers who sought a nonpolitical event.

I went to one of these anti-Achmedinejad protests at the UN (in 2004, before going to see Christopher Hitchens destroy George Galloway in a 'debate'). These things are political from the get-go. For the organizers to say that they disinvited Palin to keep the rally from being political is absurd. And a lie.

re: #208 filetandrelease

It pisses me off too! How dare these organizations presume to speak for me.

The tactic the dems used was horrific indeed, threaten the orgs during their biggest giving season, the High Holidays, but someday principle should come before quivering in front of the dems and the irs

re: #202 arethusa

I agree with you. I think Hillary is VERY WARY of Palin. She knows she will have to run against her in 2012, and depend on the women vote, so she has to be utmost careful of every step NOW.

At first I wondered why she mentioned Hillary. Then it hit me, she should mention Hillary everywhere she goes. Hillary really did Obama a big favor by pulling out.

re: #66 Alouette

re: #214 tokyobk

He'd be 78 at the end of his first administration, and 84 at the end of a second. It's possible he could run again, of course, but I don't think so.

Sorry, I meant 82.

re: #173 MandyManners

After that one I watched this one :

Lugubrious Biden

It's like any second he's gonna call him "Osama".

re: #221 nonic

He'd be 78 at the end of his first administration, and 8[2] at the end of a second. It's possible he could run again, of course, but I don't think so.

If McCain were to announce he would not run for a second term would mean he would be a lame duck president from day one. Not a scenario I would relish. If he somehow decided not to serve a second term the only good way to do it would be not make such an announcement until the convention in 2012, or wait until the day after inauguration in 2013, and announce his "retirement", effective immediately. To up front announce a one term pledge would be asking for nothing but major trouble from the other side.

The other factor is people are living longer and longer, and 82 is not exceptionally old these days. My mom for example is nearly 94 and her mind is as sharp as a tack.

The term for president is 4 yrs not 6.

re: #122 Dianna

It's actually pretty easy to threaten someone's 501(c)3 status.

File one complaint with the IRS, and you can be suspended. Which changes your tax status, and makes a bad mess of your core donors.

Dianna, that's just not true. Believe me, I've tried. And for real violations of the tax-exempt regulations, not phoney stuff like this.

re: #183 Dianna

I don't know if you're aware of how the "tax exempt" bit works. One pays 2% excise tax on - what amounts to - one's capital. If you are under investigation, you're going to need to place "normal" taxes in an escrow account.

Dianna, the rules you're citing here are for private foundations, not 501(c)(3) orgs. Charities don't pay excise taxes on capital or anything else.

re: #229 Lynn B.

PIMF... Public charities don't pay excise taxes on capital or anything else.

Not a bad speech, but the way she ended it pretty much confirms that it would have been just another campaign appearance.

I had a 2 day debate over the dis-invitation of Palin with a leftie named Stefanie at the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency) blog site. In exasperation I asked her who she fears more Sarah Palin or Mahmoud Ahmadinijad. Her answer below, is no surprise.

I have learned very clearly how a monster like Adolf Hitler could have come to power while some of those he vowed to kill stood beside him.

Mike ///////\///////

Here is Stefanie's answer:

As for cataloging my fears, at this moment Sarah Palin is indeed first on my list. She is in line for the most powerful job in the world, a heartbeat away from the Presidency under a man whose health is quite frail. I have already listed her retrograde views on all the issues important not just to Jews, but to all Americans except for an extremely small far-right population. I don’t think it’s fair for such a small minority to hijack the conversation with distractions. The moment we begin to discuss real issues and not just star power (or lipstick on pigs), people will realize she’s far out of step with the majority of Americans. I cannot live in a county where I would be refused the right to an abortion had I been raped, and I don’t want that world to exist for my daughter. There is little that I can think of that’s scarier than going back to back-alley abortions and women’s bodies being legislated by the state.

As for Ahmadinejad, I see him a rather weak troll, a man controlled by the mullahs in his country. He is desperate for power, but lacking in it, and the Iranian people would like to fire him. They want freedom and peace and reform. If we drop bombs on them they’ll immediately flock to support him, however. That’s what happens when we start wars. Iran wants power — the nuclear issue is about having a voice amongst Arab nations in the ME — it’s really a Sunni/Shiah issue and not truly about Israel or Jews! That’s red meat for his people, because of the Palestinian issue. It’s obviously extremely, extremely complicated, a geo-political chess game. And lest we forget that Israel is a nuclear power, one that far surpasses Iran in weaponry of every sort. Do you think the Iranians are dumb enough to start a war that would surely end in the destruction of their entire country and the deaths of all of their citizens? They have no interest in national suicide — they want the opposite — they want power and popularity and a place on the world stage. Bush has given him that, and Mccain will only give him more. Obama will skillfully, like Clinton, put him in his place while simultaneously repairing the damaged reputation of the US in the world. So that we actually have allies again - something we’ve lost under Bush. And Ahmadinejad eats up these rallies we hold against him — he lives for them! He laughs at us when we get so out of control when he’s coming to town, because it just gets him press. If we ignored him and continued to put economic pressure on Iran, always keeping the military option on the table, of course, he’d eventually cave. Don’t you think we have CIA and Mossad already in country? Of course we do. And we have been on the ground breaking down the regime for years. Yes, these things take time. But we’ve created many a coup (remember when we did it with the Shah?) and we could certainly do it again.

That’s my two cents.
