Did they find out about Palin's anti-Semitic preacher? Many in the Jewish community are not happy about it.

To quote the Greek God,,, oh where is his temple? Oh go to Universal back lot…. This is politics as usual… More of the same… Where is the Hope? If you listen to liberals long enough… all you here is complaints and that the sky is falling… is Obama Chicken Little now?? Wow. Where is the HOPE??? What is your plan Mr. Greek God? I hear McCain's ideas and they make more sense to me than yours. I don't want a socialized govenment! McCain/Palin are by far the better choice.

According to some news reports, it was considered by the McCain/Palin camp that her attendance at this rally would give her to opportunity to meet foreign leaders AND to come away with some knowledge that she could use in upcoming debates against her democratic counterpart, Barack Obams - oops, I mean Joe Biden. Suddenly, as it has been with most things revolving around this woman, it was all about her.

I'm glad the organizers decided NOT to invite ANY political candidates. They would detract from the real reason the rally is taking place. Palin is a woman who is attractive, athletic and probably makes a great moose stew by she has no substance and very very little experience. She would not be able to bring anything of substance to the rally and therefore would be equivalent to lipstick on a pitbull - it looks good but really has no real purpose.

I GUESS THEY TOLD THE HOCKEY MOM, THANKS BUT NO THANKS.

wow, so everything is obama's fault now, i think john mcshame is getting a little bit paranoid. i guess you got to have a little bit more to say than i could see russia from my house

The average Iranian citizen is just like the average American … they want to live their life in peace and prosperity but are ruled by insane kooks. There are also a minority of kooks who practice hate and are so pathetic and stupid that they perceive war as the only answer … the same as in America. We call them "extremists", our people are called Republicans.

As soon as we elect a government that will communicate we will be on a path toward peaceful relations.

The reason for this is simple. The Obama camp most likely DID put pressure on Hillary to withdraw from this non-political event because if Hillary did speak at the same rally as Palin and they both seemed to be in agreement over the fact that Iran is a threat, then former Hillary voters would likely feel that Hillary and Palin are not so far apart in national security issues, true or not. This might sway some Hillary fans to vote for the McCain ticket.

Please think logically folks and not emotionally.

Is it just me, or I feel like her presence in this election is getting increasingly irrelevant…?

Matt
You have more brains than most "'adaults" you are one of the few to see obama for what he is.

If anything happens in our world according to Palin; war, disease, hunger, Ice melt, animals extinction, polution… it is not man made but God's will anyway. Maybe then God is trying to tell us something when she is cancelled from appearing at an event to help protect the Jewish community.

PLEASE REGISTER TO VOTE! PLEASE! IF YOU HAVE HALF A BRAIN, YOU WILL VOTE AND MAKES SURE THS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN LIKE IN 2000 AND 2004. AMERICA HAS BECOME RETARDED! STOP THE TREND AND WAKE UP! OUR CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER!

If Mctrouble/Mcpain wins, our trouble will double, the economy will bubble into a rubble, and that will give us double trouble .
We do not need a big mc or double mc

Everyone wants to bash McCain today for the economic mess we're in. I'm a Democrat and I remind everyone RIGHT NOW that "CONGRESS" is Democratically controlled and "CONGRESS" is the "INSTITUTION" that is approving the BIALOUTS! OBAMA IS A DEMOCRAT! I WON"T BE AFTER THE ELECTION!

Where's Bush? That should be the question. For all you people that voted for him because he seemed like someone you could drink a beer with. Can you afford beer now?

Obama & Biden - A change we can believe in!!!!!!!!

Mccain (while eating some pitted prunes): Hmm, I wonder what this button does?

people, the Iranian Govt is the enemy not Clinton or Palin. Anyone who believes this should be invited to go. remember is used to stop at the water's edge.

If Palin attended she would probably say something brilliant like "you could put lipstick on a terrorist regime" but it would still be a terrorist regime". forget it.

Don't suppose the 'Fact' that Palins Church preaches that Jews are the cause of terrorism. Influenced the uninvite.

Well Troopergate Palin can give her canned spiel elsewhere…. it's not as if she has a thing to say.

They are smart enough to realize that when Pinocchio Palin defend Israel, that would be harmful and not helpfull to that cause!!

Why, being that Sarah Palin thinks our country unworthy of our taxes, why would she have bothered wasting her all important time on an issue like this in the first place?

That group just lost any form of respect. Any really you think a democratic president is going to stand up to Iran? The people at this rally clearly care about Iran not getting a nuclear weapon; which President do you think would have the guts to launch a pre-emptive strike against them? Obama who denounced Bush for doing this to Iraq or McCain who has stood by the decision. The people who got Palin removed from this event are directly hurting their own cause.

Just another in a series for the liberals to shut down the voice of the people. One more step to democrat communism..

This just underscores that McCain is going to have a very large problem appealing to Jewish voters now that Palin is on the ticket. Say goodbye to Florida, McCain.

How funny!!!! You can't make this stuff up!!!
I wonder how the McCain camp figures it was the Obama Camp that got Palin booted from the event?
More lies,More lies that will do it.I'm glad to see that the walls are closing in on the liers.

Mike in California

If they really thought Sarah would make a fool of herself, wy did the Democrats "un-inivte" her? Fear, that's why. She'd show how well she can handle it and they know it. They're scared of Sarah Palin.

Do not agree with decision but neither do a lot of us "Reagoncrates-"

McCain and Palin proud to be Americans and the record reflects that. Democrates died with JFK and I finally figured that out-

Republicans……. I can't figure out what it is about "intelligence" that you despise. When it came to Bush, it seemed the more gaffes he made, the more endearing he was. And now Palin is your hero….. it seems the more she doesn't know, the more charming she is…. Didn't the past 7+ years teach you anything??

Cooomeee oooooon. The McCain/Palin ticket doesn't need anything to be the truth or have any sort of substance for their claims.. As long as they "say it" - isn't that good enough!??

Sarah Palin hant even been to a war zone she was in kuwait but not iraq like everybody else has in this election like mccains been to iraq 6 times obamas been there 2 times bidens been there like 1,000 times its probally no surprise they un invited her because she has nothing to ad or contribute with her lack of foreign and international experience

This is getting good! Once again the Dem and Hillary had it right first..

Now this should not surprise me. What are librals afraid of? If Hillary chose not to be there, then send someone else? Now, to dis-invite Palin? How does that make sense? Its your party, and you'll cry if you want to? Hello? Wake up people, see Obama (his true colors are coming out)… He is a lier, wants to raise our taxes (not just high income over 250K), once the economy picks up…. hold on to your wallets!!!

McCain/Palin all the way!!!

It's just to the point of being comical — McSame and "Daily Scandal Palin" are just constantly blaming everyone else for the decisions they make that go wrong…sound like somebody familiar?

Thank God! I don't want her representing US in any way shape or form. She's an idiot and would make the US look terrible. She needs to learn to pronounce nuclear…….we've already had one idiot in the White House act like an illiterate.

she won't do interviews — Oprah's fault right!?
she's under investigation — Obama's fault!!!
her husband signed onto to a 'hate the American flag' Party — whose fault would that be???
HER VOICE!!!!!!
McCain you are NEXT on her hit list!!!

presumably ?
may be ?

perhaps the martians abducted Clinton

or else they didnt want a corrupt lying bookburning creationists
to talk about corrupt lying bookburning creationists from Iran!

I just can't picture Sarah Palin negotiating with an Amadinejad or a Kim Jung Il. Those guys would cut her to pieces. They would make her look like she was born yesterday. She wouldn't be taken seriously by those dictators.

Hillary won't play in the sandbox with others, so no one can play. Hillary's hissy fit will only rally supporters toward Palin. This doesn't make the Demorcats look very non-partisan; if they cannot reach across the isles for a national matter like this, when can they. In the end I think she knows this doesn't look good. Now all Bill Clinton has to do is come out with a sexist -condescending remark about Palin, and he and Hillary can start making campaign slogans for 2012! Silly Obama, the Clintons are only out for themselves.
McCain/ Palin 08* Hillary/ Hillary 2012*

Walmart mom–from one Walmart mom to another, please explain to me what you have seen in Mrs Palin? I would have relished a Romney/Biden debate, but won't even have the heart to see what will happen in a Palin/Biden debate. I don't think Mr. Biden will need to worry about his lunch or milk money.

Mess with the (clinton) and you get the horn. Stop the dirty dirty tricks. maybe if Palin in her short career had ever expressed concern about jews. It was stunt and nothing more. The organizers and mccain dcamp thought they could make snl into reality so sorry.

Democrat for McCain/Palin September 18th, 2008 6:43 pm ET
Yet another reason why I can't vote the democratic ticket.

Did you really need an excuse to vote gender or race? You are no Democrat!

Maverick to Victim in one week very funny!

She has no bussiness being there anyway.

This should be a non partisan event. I agree with the decision. McCain is also just making more enemies in the Jewish community with comments like he is making. Not all Jews are Lieberman fans, that is for sure…..

Soooo…. in an effort to avoid the possibility of a perceived image of partisanship, they went and made it partisan.

You can't make this stuff up.

Oh, look! It's about to rain…McCain: It's at the behest of the Obama campaign!

This isn't a popularity contest, sorry…vote for the candidate who TALKS ABOUT THE ISSUES, not about lipstick!

theeeenks, but no theeenks. Not this one….she will say dumb things and then complain if people laugh…..what did she say about Hillary? something like: her being some sort of a crybaby and that this kind of turns her off?…not only is McCain living in past glories from yesteryear (old people do that, it's normal) but the parrot only remembers the current lines……………

She deserves that an much more for been a liar and dishonest!!!!

LOL too funny !! Bye bye Palin!

and she so wanted to pretend she had her own opinion about something foreign!!!

Thank God (yes, Dems believe in God, too) that some of us are wiping the sleep out of their eyes and seeing what a mockery these 2 weeks have made out of this election! Yikes….
Now…bring on the debates.

Obama probably got his Chicago thugs to put the pressure on the the organizers to dump her. Too bad, some real intelligence would have been welcomed. I have now dis invited myself from watching any coverage of this now politicized fiasco.

A very sound decision - to not have any political personalities there. Palin was to use this rally as a way to meet world leaders. That's not what it is meant to be. Bravo to the organizers! Hope the rally is effective!

It's because her connections to Scientology have come out all over the internet!

WWF's The Iron Sheik is more equipped to speak at this convention than Palin.

sorry Palin in 2012, by the time that year gets here Sarah will either be a footnote in history or possibly the president of the United States and if it's the latter then GOD HELP US ALL!

Comrade Obama

Boy what a free country. For those who are at all interested in the truth
about the Fannie and Freddie failure please google Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005. I don't understand why CNN has not jumped on this storiy and put the questions to democrats about this issue.

I love the GOP supporters who come on here saying that Obama doesn't know how to run the country.

Well I don't know if you guys have been watching the news for the past few months but McCain has been looking increasingly lost with the issues the country has been facing. He changes his stance hourly just this week.

Vote McCain because of your own ignorance. Just don't try to justify it to the rest of us.

McCain/Palin-Thanks but no thanks!

Obama/Biden '08

Speaking of Hillary, have you noticed how vigorously she has been campaigning for Barak……… ( silence ) all she is doing is ducking Sarah, who asks ,and answers, real questions, and campaigning for Hillary in 2012.
Go Sarah Go…………. trust me……Conrade Obama is not looking forward to the VP debates .
Wasn't it Joe Bide ( 29 years ago ) for you CHANGE advocates, that help Jimmy Carters hand while he let Iran walk all over us and open thr door to terrorism………….. oh yah…. that's History, and we don't study History in the Peoples Schools.

@ Stop Electing Dumb People '08 -

"As someone who lobbied the organizers to reconsider their invitation to Gov. Palin I can tell you for a FACT it was not at the request of the Obama campaign."

It sounds as if you may have some facts from the ground out there. Would you please elaborate? I haven't seen anything in the news yet, you may be able to scoop them!

There goes Governor Palin pointing her darn finger again. I think this was a wise decision and the Repugs should stop complaining and whining and, invariably, ALWAYS blaming the Democrats. I don't care to see Palin and I am sure I am not alone in that respect. She doesn't have the qualifications for attending this event, and definitely not qualified to run as V.P. of our country. OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!!!!!!!!

If Obama is actually doing all the things the Republicans are claiming he's doing, you should make him president. Apparently he can get things accomplished!

Does she know where Iran is ? I want to see her make a fool of herself.
Once they come to know how dumb she is, the jewish community decided not to.
It is about time,
American people see what these two idiots are like.
McShame & Palinliar.

-Her draconian philosophy on sex ed failed with her own daughter.
-She's being investigated by an ethics commitee in Alaska for abusing power regarding her former brother in law.
-She fired people from city government as mayor because they didn't support her campaign.
-She promised to support the bridge to nowhere as a candidate for gov, and then decided she was against it after it already died in the us legislature.
-She believe Iraq is a "mission from God"
-She wants to take away my choices concerning my own body.
-She's given speeches to an Alaskan secessionist group recently.
-This "mother of five" (Palin) doesn't seem too concerned about the toll spotlight due to her candidacy will or could do the her pregnant teenage daughter. All she can say is "it's a private matter" while the GOP themselves continue to talk about it as some whack-a-doo example of solid values.

Sarah 'Barracuda' more like a 'Barnacle' w/ Lipstick stuck to the GOP's sinking ship…..LOL

Dang, why do the democrats for to be blamed for this one. Hellloooooo repubs, maybe they didn't want her from the get go!!!!!! Good job Hillary, now get back on the road for Obama.

Blame Hillary for Palin not being there. It was bipartisan until HIllary learned Palin would be there and then decided not to attend. I sure nope no other politicians of the major parties are attending either.

I know they always talk about the "Jewish Democrats." How come I know so many Jewish people who are Republican?

McCain-Palin - 2008

Palin can see Iran from her house.

Something about this women isn't right people. Didn't she just say bad stuff about Hillary not going?? Something up people..

May have just avoided another war. This VP pick is dangerous she has no idea how to talk on the world stage.

P.S. other countries do not take kindly to liars.

I cannot understand my party's fascination with this woman. When she was first announced, I thought she would be a true agent of change. But now I hear she is trying to block the investigation she started. She left her own town in debt. Here we see where if Mr McCain had selected Mr Lieberman as his VP choice, he would have taken a strong voting block in Florida. I was excited by Sarah at first, but the shine has worn off. I have thought about this a lot today, and am truly dissapointed in Mr McCains choice.

So the Jewish community uninviting Palin was democratic partisanship? I don't get McCain's reasoning. Am I missing something?

HAHAHA!!! I'm loving this. She is a DUMB BROAD!!!! Hillary unvited herself while Sarah was uninvited..PERIOD. This is TOO funny. This just shows you who is the real QUEEN BEE…IT"S HILLARY. Oh, and McCain, Obama had nothing to do with this. The people don't want her ignorance to rub off on them.

WHAT A STUPID PROSITION:

"Rally against Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad next week in New York …"

Over failing Banks, maligned economy? Really?

The Republican presidential ticket has a solutions to problems in Iran - by a RALLY in NEW YORK?

Obama/Biden '08 - Keep talking about improving our lives - not these distractions!

You friend are no Democrat if you consider this a reason for anything other than a slight chuckle.

Funny how republicans are having to pretend that they are not republicans, pretending to be democrats. Fortuneately, they are fairly easy to spot.

That would've been entertaining.
" I would tell Iran, thanks but no thanks. If we want that bridge we'll build it ourselves."
Lipstick and dipstick.

I really have enjoyed being safe the past seven years. Biden and his side kick Obama will be weaken us by talking to the enemy just like Roosevelt was doing when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. They are blind to what is going on in the world. The only ticket that will keep us safe is McCain/Palin!

'Palin 2012′, you crack me up!!! Hillary Clinton knows so much more about both domestic and foreign policy than Sarah Palin does it's laughable. I feel like I'm on the 6th grade playground. Please… stay home on November 4th. I have no problem with someone voting for McCain if they believe he's the better man to run this Country, But for Palin to influence the vote at all in his favor is ridiculous.

Excellent call. Why let this newby power-hungry politician cash in on an event that that should speak to all of us about the seriousness of this escalating situation? Will the current lame duck president get us into ANOTHER war mess right before the election so the Republicans can cash in on the fear vote?

Good for the organizers in recinding the invitation to Palin. No free camapaigning there. Why are the McCain people trying to blame OBAMA for republican problems? for example TROOPERGATE.

Next move, nix her from the ticket!

So were the other people.

But let me make one thing clear, I was a supporter of Hillary Clinton and I will not condone this treatment of Sarah Palin.

Be careful where you tread Senator Clinton. You may hurt yourself more than you know if you follow the command of the Obama camp.

I contributed to your campaign and after the show that went on with the invite to Sarah Palin and your actions; I am losing my faith in ever recognizing you as a candidate for the future.

What a show of Unity this would have shown the world if Senator Clinton and Governor Palin were both there, but again we must deal with the hate. Shame on you!

So, it's ALWAYS Obama's fault. Grade school kids on the playground — HE did it, HE attacked first, HE lied. Oh, NO, it's NEVER anything McCain or Palin did or said.

Once again the McCain camp make wild, unsubstantiated remarks to further their own cause. Do they have no shame? I think the majority of the US and the rest of the world is sick and tired of the politics of inuendo and sleight! Why anybody would be prepared to place the responsibility of a country, let alone one as challenged as the US, in the hands of such idiocy, is beyond me. I genuinely think McCain and Palin are from a bygone, laregly white, privelaged majority era that is fast receeding into minority … these are the last vestigaes of a dark past.
I just wish I could cast a vote in this election - nothing would make me prouder as a world citizen to be one of several million people putting the final nails in the coffin of the GOP. The world will be better off when they are retired. "We need men (leaders) who can dream of things that never were" … JFK

I think it was interesting that Palin was invited in the first place. What could she possibly have learned about Iran in her extensive education and experience as a small town mayor and Governor of Alaska. She doesn't know anything about the continental US let alone a foriegn country.

Hillary Clinton was invited as a ploy to get her to seemingly endorse Palin's candidacy. It was a trick and as soon as Mrs. Clinton found out she responded appropriately.

When ever something doesn't go McCain's way he's quick to attribute it to the "behest" of that Barack Obama. He does this even though there's no proof or evidence to suggest it. Why does he get away with saying it. It reminds me of Bush saying Al Qaeda is in Iraq. No proof to say that either and look where we ended up.

Poor Sarah, it appears that the bloom is off the rose. The trending is now clear —- Senator Obama is up again in the polls, back in the lead, and has a huge margin (over 14%) in the woman's vote. Thanks Hillary, for showing what a phony McShame is. You have more brains in your left ovary than goofy Sarah does in that Tina Fey look-alike head.

Of course, these polls today do not include all the non-LAN line users, who are about 90% for Senator Obama, by any conservative count.

Hey John, the fundamentals of the economy are "strong", right? Maybe we can find a foreclosed ranch for you in Crawford, Texas.

Why does the McCain camp insist on blaming every slight against them on Obama? They have no proof that Clinton's withdrawl was 'at his behest', yet they continue to try and sully his name. Stop putting other people's words in Obama's mouth and stretching the truth. This is why fact-checkers put you to shame when the vast exaggerations in your campaign ads were highlighted. I never thought I'd have to say this to a man in his 70's, but GROW UP!

She would have claimed that she could see Iran from where she was in Kuwait, when she visited with the AK National Guardsmen in that country.

Actually who cares if Clinton and or Palin do show up, my God sometimes some ppl make such a big deal about little to nothing..Will this help our economy which is in a darn crisis? Answer, Heck No, so please focus on the important items for our country.

Thank You

Sarah Palin can't even protect her own Yahoo email account, & McCain is touting her National Security credibility? Sure. And I've got a bridge to nowhere to sell you….

THE REPUBLICANS ARE CLUELESS. WAKE UP. JOHN MCCAIN HASN'T SAID ONE THING THAT HE WOULD DO TO BETTER THIS ECONOMY. ALL HE DOES IS USES FALSE ATTACKS TO DRAW ATTENTION FROM THE REAL ISSUES. HE DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE. HE COULDN'T EVEN TAKE THE PRESSURE FROM THE LADIES ON THE VIEW. SO, OK, HE IS A POW. BUT DOES THAT REALLY MAKE HIM QUALIFIED? THERE ARE OTHER POW'S OUT THERE, DOES THAT MAKE THEM QUALIFIED? I WANT TO HEAR THE ISSUES. MATTER OF FACT, LET'S STICK TO THE ISSUES FOR REAL.

Is this the change Obama is trying to bring, eliminate the competition and have no one oppose you?

I'm sorry. While I may not have supported McCain I did respect him but his campaign has gotten so ugly, with so much drama I am disgusted. I agree with what others have stated. Ms. Palin is a decent person but certainly no Biden or for that matter Hillary Clinton in terms of her being ready President should an emergency occur. There are serious issues that need to be addressed and that is what the American people will be considering when they vote on not personalities…..

McCain campaign: "we don't want to make this a political issue, but we will because Obama is the reason we're no longer going."

What happened to the responsible, straight forward, respectable John McCain??? If someone finds him let me know, I'll keep looking for his straight talk express in the divisive ditches that line our political highways.

they should invite Jimmy Carter, he would say what Iranian threat and is Israel a country ?

I just listen to a video of palin, at which time she made reference to the PALIN AND MCCAIN TICKET.
I think she knows something that we don't know, and is not afraid to say it..

Yet another reason why I can't vote the democratic ticket.

I tell your something about this woman Palin isn't right. The government knows, they just aren't telling us yet. But by and by it will all come out. Hope it sooner than later.

Aw, c'mon!
I say let her go and make a fool of herself!

(Actually I agree that the event should be non-political, especially under the circumstances. But it would certainly be amusing to see Caribou Barbie wipe lipstick off her toes, wouldn't it?)

PS Anyone seen those Palin family tax returns yet?

Those of you who think Palin is a bucket of fluff, I can guarantee you she would never have voted PRESENT 100+ times. And I guarantee she would not be pushing for a bill that effectively taxes citizens of the US for global relief. I believe that is beyond the constitutional boundary.

It's wrong to view this event in a positive light. Israel puts constant unreasonable pressure on the United States to keep troops stuck in the middle east and have antagonistic relations with Arab countries. Proxies for Israel like Joe Lieberman even advocate for military attacks on Iran.

The kind of American leader I want will look Israel straight-on and say . . . NO.

Why does no one find the fact that politicians are attending an "anti-Iran" party disturbing? We need the next president of the United States to stop trying to be the biggest bully on the playground and start being the smartest kid out there. That means playing well with others, even if you don't like anything they do, you have to find a way to make it work. Holding rallies intent on calling the other guy names? None of the candidates belong there, and the only ones who seem to show any sense here are the Obama campaign, who didn't send Biden.

By the way, the McCain campaigns completely baseless claim that Hillary was told to pull out by the Obama campaign- Pathetic. I'm sick of a government run on lying to the public and making stuff up.

How can McCain blame this on Obama???? Clinton is not apart of his campaign, and neither Obama or Biden were invited (not McCain for that matter either)

Any time a Democrat does something, he/she is now apart of the "Obama Campaign"?

I agree that Palin should not be invited to this event. Yes, we do want Iran to not develop a nuclear bomb, but we don't want to go to war with them either. She would just read a war mongering speech that would make matters worse.

Now, back to the economy…

“We have a presidential election where the McCain-Palin ticket want to use what’s supposed to be a very, very bipartisan-type of operation to, again, use it as a campaign event,"

Pathetic….That's why Hillary wouldn't show up, and the Reps. are trying to blame it on Obama?!?!?!?!?

Is it just me are the Republicans just wanting to smear everything that doesn't go in their favor and say " Oh, well it's the Democrats." Obviously organizations and groups can't possibly think for themselves and want to keep things focused on the issue that they are gathering for vs. having another "Look it's Palin" day.

Just like high school…or middle school….
If she is going to your party, I'm not!!!
SO immature!!!!

Here is Sarah the victim again. They have no proof that Obama had anything to do with this, but apparently they will say anything. She was just trying to get her picture taken with Hillary–good for Hillary for pulling out. She should stay far away from Palin–it is bad enough that Palin has stolen Hillary's speech ("cracks in the ceiling"). Palin has absolutely nothing to offer to Hillary supporters–I am one of those and I am definitely voting for Obama.

Sounds like something Obama would do..I cant think of any way that it would hurt to have them both there proving that we as a country stand together against them getting nuclear weapons..

Hilary said nope, Sarah on the other hand was told - NO.
No you can't use this event and us as a brush up on Foreign Affairs education.

Sarah's here to stay—only 44 years old she'll be a powerhouse in U.S. politics for the next 25 years—Joe Biden will long be in a nursing home and she'll still be President—-

And Joe, you are going to get your lunch eaten in the debate—-BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID–

Fans of Sarah Barracuda

AMERICA WILL BE A SAFER PLACE. . .WITH PALIN NOT ATTENDING!

oh snap!

Was THIS designer suit paid for by Alaska taxpayers?

It seems like if you are a decent person but not of one party or the other you will be attacked. People have forgotten that we all live in this world. The negative comments are getting way out of hand. It is making the American people ill. We need to try to get along even if our viewpoints differ. That's what made this country strong. Please try to remember that we are all human beings and we are all family in spirit.

Yes, but at least we weren't dumb enough to vote for Bush…

That's the difference between Obama and McCain… Obama picks someone who he can learn with and get real advise from and work with. McCain picks someone that he can lead around and be his yes-man.. or yes-woman in this case. Other than the fact that she's a woman… what can she possibly add to his campaign? Obama picks people based on merit… If he wanted the "sure fire win",.. he could've picked Hillary. But he's not looking for who's the most popular… he's looking for who's the best person for the job. Once again… McCain's personal ambitions are shown to be more important than the good of the country.

They're probably looking for original statements, not rehearsed lines. I think her high pitched voice is annoying.

Who is "Palin 2012″, why does he keep saying the same thing over and over, why do his comments seldom have anything to do with the article at hand, and why, o why, CNN, do you continue to post his comments?

Good. She has no reason to be there. She is FOR WAR not Peace, that is pretty clear……..

This wasn't a beauty pageant!

So, what would Palin bring to this event anyway?

We Republicans have Palin now. Hillary was the most hated candidate….Who needs Hillary…She is jealous of Palin

Palin for President

lord help us all if obama becomes our president. he knows nothing about running AMERICA. THINK BEFORE VOTING.

Re: "The McCain campaign quickly criticized the move and suggested it came at the behest of the Obama campaign, though did not provide evidence that was the case:"–NO, they're just not that into Sarah, John, and she would have been a divisive presence at that event. It's not a beauty pagaent, afterall.

We're waiting for the Obama operative who hacked into Sarah's computer—we hear he's looking at 5 years up here—-when we get his address we'll send him a jar of personal lubricant—-the big boys up here will like that—

I wonder if he'll think it was worth it–

Hey, McCain folks….seen the polls lately?? Read my nail polish!

Palin was the only person who might have attended the rally that would have got the attention of the Iranians. People are clueless.

Who wanted to be present anyways?

McCain is 90% Bush
Palin is 100% Bush she stands for everything he stands for

She is a polarizing figure period.

Is McCain paranoid? He seems to see Obama behind everything! I don't think Obama would have time to do everything McCain has accused him of orchestrating! Doesn't McCain think anyone can take action on any topic without clearing it with Obama first?

I guess Sen. Clinton was successful in making the rally a politcally partisan event.

Comon John, we know why they pulled her… they realized she has nothing to say!

NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCAIN , NO PALIN!

People who lack open mindedness and freedom of expression should not be afforded the gifts of Democracy……..like Liberals.

To PALIN 2012, How in the hell is Palin a "True American hero"?

That has to be one of most unjustifiable statements I have heard in this campaign.

I think it's wonderful that some men are not swayed by smiles that don't reach the eyes.

This should be no shock to Sara Palin…I'm sure she's been univited to many parties.

Palin said she can see Iran from her house!

Russian news agency Pravda described Palin as "Mrs. Nobody, Know-it-All, Shreiking Cow from Alaska". (Look it up - it's on the net).

Apparently they've seen her from their house too.

I prefer a leader that the world respects. Go Obama/Biden

I hate hearing comments from McCain and his campaign these days. John McCain has gone from someone you can respect, even if you disagree with him, to a complete idiot and psychopath desperate to appease the Republican Party. Palin isn’t even worth a comment (apart from this).

Of course, McCain campaign, of course…because we all know that Clinton bows to Obama's will, and that he is prone to strong arm tactics. [Rolling eyes}.

Libs are clueless people.

McCain/Palin 2008

palin=liar
palin=stupid
palin=power hungery
palin=G.Bush

thanks, but no thanks to palin!

Let's see…Lie to us and send us into a war that kills 4000 brave Americans. Spend a TRILLION Dollars bombing then fixing up a country that hates us. What do we get in return? $5 a gallon gas!!!!! Thanks repubs!

Enough is Enough

It is probably for the best that Palin was uninvited. She has no foreign experience, and with a loaded topic like Iran, we need someone with more savvy. Mr. McCain, why oh why did you go for the gotcha when you had both Mr Lieberman and Mr Romney available for your choice as VP?

To "Palin 2012″ on top: keep on dreaming

This is Another GOP trick….. anybody can see what they are trying to do! turn the current economy issue around and make it into WAR issue with Iran and show how TUFF she really IS…. the way I see it, is she is running from the real TUFF AMERICAN ISSUE OUR MONEY OUR ECONOMY!

My Dear God…. Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin V.S Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad… I'm just sick of this War WAR WAR!

Can she see Iran from her house?

Senator McCain, you can not have Honor without Truth. Where is the Honoralbe McCain of 2000? You and the Rep party needs to take accountability for your part in this mess. Bring back the honor of your party.

if palin goes to that rally, the republican may say that she has foreign experience.

I really do not know what Palin would do there. She does not know anything about all that. MCcains move to choose her as a running mate will be remembered as one of the biggest mistake ever in this country's political history. This is just ridiculous!

I'm really snickering at all this. The Repubs keep saying how much people just LOVE Palin. Lies, lies, lies, as usual. They don't even just love her in Alaska. Start reading the Anchorage Daily News and see for yourself.
adn.com

Sounds like Shrillary took her toys and went home just because she was going to be upstaged by Palin.

Sure!!!!!!!!!!!!Blame it on Obama as everythng else that goes wrong with McCain/Palin. It was only fair that she be pulled. The attention need to stay on the rally & not politics. By the way, Joe Biden is an excellent choice for VP. Hiliary would have been also.

The momentary lapse of the American people around Palin is gone. No one wants another fascist in the White House. Eight years is enough.

that's good. we dont need her starting an international incident. send her to campaign in alaska that day.

Small wonder she was "disinvited"…..
Finally people are coming out of the reality -show coma they've been in for the past two weeks. It is hard to understand how anyone can still try to enthusiastically prop up support for palin after all of this.

Repubs have screamed about people smearing her with lies, and yet seem unable to SEE with their own eyes the torrid smelly swath of lies she has left on the campaign trail, leaving many to wonder how long can blind loyalty to her go on? She thrives on deceit and fabrication, and her loyal and rabid fans can deny it all day…..but the rest of the nation sees the true problem with her now.

They knew that all she would offer them is either:

1) A proposition to invade them now or
2) One of Obamas original ideas from 2 years ago

She has nothing new ever to offer us. She needs to go back to staring out her window and ripping off the tax payers while doing it. She's pathetic, and McCain's judgement proves he is not fit to run our country.

So what's Palin's foreign policy experience?:

She can see Russia from her house in Alaska.

I have grown tired of the arrogance of the Jewish lobby. There are two reasons the US is in the Middle East: Oil and Israel. The Republicans have been the staunchest supporter of that country. Both Democrats and Republicans have shed blood. Remember the 200 marines dead in Lebanon?

Palin dodged that bullet. LOL

The Republicans are jumping for joy!

She's probably upset because now she can't list "Attended an Anti-Iran Rally" as foreign policy experience.

Where is the proof McCain? Such bigotry and lies from your camp. Disgusting!

GOP STRATEGY…..
SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS, LETS BLAME OBAMA EVEN IF WE CAN'T SUPPORT OUR CLAIM!!!!!!!!!

PROBLEM WITH THAT STRATEGY IS THAT IF YOU CAN'T PROVIDE EVIDENCE, YOUR CLAIM IS NOT VALID. CASE CLOSED!

FORGIVE ME BUT THIS IS HILARIOUS WITH MCCAIN AND PALIN . MCCAIN SOUNDS LIKE HE IS BECOMING MORE SENILE EVERYDAY. HE SAYS THE CRAZIEST THINGS I MEAN IT IS RIDICULOUS. NOW YOU TELL ME WOULD YOU WANT A PERSON AS HIMSELF BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND DON'T KNOW THE FOREST FROM THE TREES. LOL HE IS PRACTICALLY GIVEN THIS ELECTION AWAY. PALIN WELL SHE IS A COPY VERSION OF MCCAIN.

Nice partisanship Hillary. Gheez we can't even come together against Iran. What a shame.

Poor republicans- so sad you can't do your fear & smear routine this time-
But since you're a part of a Nation of whinners———-whine away!

AWWW!!! That's no big deal though, we already know she was going to give her Republican Convention acceptance speech..

I don't blame her for trying to steal the Gov't spending transparency idea had Barack Obama not already had it implemented as law it would have made her a genius.
I guess she'll have to admit that Obama has at least DONE ONE thing as senator..lol.
I don't blame her for being left behind by the time machine, she lives in Alaska, that's behind God's back. They only get six months of day per year up/out there.

As I read this, I thought. . . If this Jewish, anti-Iran group decides not to have US politics clouding their event. . . well that seems to make sense. Then I notice the all too common, mature, response. . . that we were uninvited because those other guys are so self-centered that they can't put our national interest first. Wow, and you wonder why grown-ups might retract an invitation. . .

How funny is it that the McCain camp thinks every last thing that happens to them is attributable to Obama?!?!?

Got an investigation you don't want to cooperate with?
No problem. Just say Obama has tainted it somehow.

Using Yahoo! as your governor's email address, making it simple for hackers to access?
No blame to be had for Palin… nah, let's distract with lies that Obama hacked her email.

Get dropped from a serious rally because organizers realize you have nothing legit to say?
No worries! Just say that Obama people pushed to have you removed from the event.

Wow… well, with as much as they blame on Obama, I am surprised they can also try to scare people into believing he'll be ineffective. Sounds like the McCain camps feels like Obama has been darn effective.

Palin's foreign policy experience:

She can see Russia from her house in Alaska.

On what factual basis does Sen McCain's outrageous claim that Sen Obama "chose politics over national interest"?

Oh right. Silly question. Sen McCain creates reality by lying enough times that, through the pure drumbeat of endless repetition, it becomes his reality.

Are you telling me you McCain supporters are….. dumping PUMAS because you don't need them anymore?

Wow… you republicans are harsh…..

Well the upset Hillary Clinton supporters are always still welcome at the Democratic Party. We don't use women to get votes like McCain does.

Oh, I'm sure Old Man McShame is pretty relieved his pet pitbull won't be speaking…. everytime she opens her mouth she seems to show her ignorange of this country and it's issues.

Actually, Palin was probably disinvited as the organizers realized being able to see Russia from your state does not give you foreign policy experience.

I agree with Hope LV, NV. This tendency to make Palin into some kind of victim/wimp reinforces the idea that she is not ready to be VP and not ready to represent this country on important matters, such as Iran.

Palin wanted a photo-op with Clinton. It wont happen because you miss Palin are not even worthy of bowing at her feet.

Poor John McSame…he's lost his marbles. He can't win the economic debate, so he figured he would invent a fake controversy to distract the American people from finding out that he has NO IDEA about the economic crisis we are facing. Just FYI, Johnny…noone has time for your shenanigans. We have real things to worry about…like trying to figure out whoch Presidential candidate understands that the fundamentals of the economy ARE NOT strong. I know…do you?

McCain's campaign slogan seems to be shifting to "If all else fails, blame it on Obama." This is hilarious. Too bad - Prom Queen was ousted!! The event coordinators were probably afraid she would make another stupid comment and piss off yet another foreign leader. She and McCain are on a roll!

Yeah, like Gidget would have something intelligent to add!

Boy the McCain camp really does seem to view Obama as a Messiah with all the power they attribute to him. I suppose we will now hear Palin add the original invitation to her foreign affairs experience.

Are McCain and Palin still going to the meet and greet session at the UN? Will Spain be included?

What a sad joke the McCain camp has become!

She's a nice lady, but way out of her league.

Obama/Biden 08

Well we can see the organizers of this rally certainly have an agenda.

A BUCKET OF FLUFF= PALIN

oh im sorry this is the 2nd democratic convention. hahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahhaha

More distortions from the McCain camp. They fabricate statements and have no evidence or proof to back them up. Palin knows nothing about the Iran crisis. She's being tutored right now in international affairs so she would have nothing substantive to say anyway. We don't need beauty queen remarks like I can see Russia from my home state at an international rally. I agree that Palin should not be there so that the rally won't be tainted with lies from the Republicans. No less than five former secretaries of state have come out in favor of Obama's policies on Iran. McCain stands alone on the opposite side of the issue.

Those folks wanted the real woman there (Hillary), i was a Hillary supporter. Obama was the nominee, and guess what: he's my nonimee. NOW THOSE LIARS WANTS MORE DRAMA!

Please McCryBabies. Enough of the accusations with ZERO basis in fact.

Hardly a surprise after Paliar's church's view that Palestinian terror attacks on Israel are "Payback from God" to the Jewish people for their religious beliefs.

Obama / Biden … landslide 2008.

The McCain campaign is so sad. They try to make every decision made by individuals as an Obama campaign ploy. It's so pathetic . And this is the person that so many Americans want as their President, really! Lies and excuses. So sad!

Typical that Caribou Barbie and Daddy War(over)bucks make unsubstantiated accusations against the Obama/Biden campaign, but not surprising as this is their M.O.!

Love it!

Demorcats forever and ever! Never ever Repug
