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.

Again wrong with the facts. The dems have had the racism locked up for a long time now. The conservative party is the party that has made all the advancements for the races to come together. I know, typical of libs to try and take credit for other peoples work, I feel sorry for the libs sometimes, they have to go through life with so much hate for everybody that doesn''t do things there way.

well, clinton''s are old hands at not telling the truth, so your saying their getting some of what they''ve given over the years? What''s wrong with that, seems fair. To be totally honest about it, Palin wasn''t aware that hillary was going to be there either. The whole thing was for a cause, not for political reasons. Staying true to form libs always find a way to make anything political if they think they can get a few more dollars or votes out of it.

Yes stevie, the liberals hate for God and anyone that is religious. The only two issues you care about is discriminating against people of faith and a womans right to kill her baby if it gets in her way. You don''t care about other important issues because as you well know libs are blinded by hate, which prevents you from discussing things in an adult manner. Just a lot of name calling and demeaning attitudes.

You must not have one because hillary isn''t better suited for anything except to run scams on the American public along with her hubby. Get over it.
Posted by libra127
Hillary was scared to be over shadowed by a real person. Then there''s that fact about liberals, they hate to do anything for a good cause unless they can have all the attention. Libs are so self centered, they won''t do anything unless they can get something out of it.

So what''s your point? obama isn''t qualified for anything. Not even to teach *** education to k-grade kiddies. Libs are such pervs at times.
"But those liberals on TV lie all the time!!! And they might be Vice President and maybe even President someday!!!".
Posted by ibsteve2u
I agree stevie, it''s hard to teach our kids right from wrong when so many democrats are setting bad examples in public everyday. Yes sir, your right about that.
Fact is, she is a habitual liar.
The Republican Party is not doing anything about it,
Posted by ibsteve2u
Now stevie, if we threw everybody out of office that didn''t tell the truth at all times, then there would be no libs in office.

Maybe libs can''t read, I always invite libs to read as much as they can, if they did they would become more enlightened on the facts. Your lib friend charlie wrangle is the only one I know of that has been calling for the draft for years. When he''s not trying to dodge paying his taxes.

You have a point, I agree for the most part. One thing though is McCain has things to offer although he isn''t a true conservative from what I''ve seen, but obama doesn''t, have anything to offer except fancy talk. When he has a teleprompter. To this point he has been afraid to debate McCain as McCain has been asking for him to have some public debates for months, but obama hides from him. One reason may because of the medias hype about how well spoken obama is, it turns out President Bush is a great speaker compared to obaama. So one of the falsehoods are uncovered, more to follow I''m sure. His handlers made him use a teleprompter the other day while on a stump speech. That shows their lack of confidence in their candidates speaking abilities. They don''t want him to make any more mistakes thinking on his own.

Well put, he''s worth zero.
Palin is the least qualified Candidate in history , and it speaks volumes about McCains judgment. If this ticket was to some how lie,cheat,and steal there way into the White House , we will all be standing in soup lines , as our kids are being drafted.

You mean like your dishonest friend Lib charlie wrangle? He''s the only one that''s been fighting for the draft for years now. He''s a democrat, you must be one of those cbs workers again, you all should leave the forums to the visitors so they decide things amongst themselves.

You mean the ones that are voting for obama?
Posted by actornaught
You can''t compare apples to oranges. Lincoln was a great man, he had what we keep talking about these days, that character matters. obama has no character, no sense of honor or duty, he is dishonest and just looking for his 15 minutes of fame. Maybe even more devious, who knows what his true intent is to get into the white house since his friends are terrorists that have bombed sites on American soil trying to kill Americans. Think about it, a person with the access to details about America''s most important security defenses. If he was to know all those secrets and pass them off to his terrorist friends, all the things that have happened to America may be nothing compared to what might happen.

You are a liar.
In the 20th century before Carter, only 3 governors ever became presidents. Carter was even considered a fluke BECAUSE he was a governor. And Obama''s experience is practically identical to Lincoln''s, more than a number of other successful presidents, and his educational background outstrips perhaps all presidents.
So "zero"? YOU ara a liar.
Dontchya know, them ''cons dunt like smartie-pants types...
Seriously, the idiot vote is locked in, and no amount of The Obvious will shake them loose from voting for their kind. See Psych 101.

Now, which team are you going to hire ?
It''s a no brainer! It''s equivalent to how Corporate America won''t accept or review your application if you don''t have a college education or some companies want to see stability in prior employment or even schools. How can we lower the bar for the people that will be the next leaders of the free world.
It has been well known recently that ACORN is at the heart of one of the most massive voter fraud campaigns in American history.
In recent months, many ACORN employees were convicted of voter fraud in Ohio, Colorado, California, Missouri, Washington, and other cities which easily manipulates opinion polls..
Obama campaign%u2019s federal filings showed ACORN%u2019s subsidiary, Citizens Services, only did polling and advance work on campaign events. Later, the campaign had to amend its reports to show that ACORN did GOTV work for them as well and paid them $800,000:
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/opinion/archive/s_584829.html
"ACORN settled the largest case of voter fraud in the history of Washington State. Seven ACORN workers had submitted nearly 2,000 bogus voter registration forms. Three ACORN election fraudsters pleaded guilty in October. "
It`s obvious the Federal government needs to open up an investigation of ACORN and Obama under the RACKETEER INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS LAW.
Email the FEC at CommissionerWalther@fec.gov, and the www.fbi.gov to demand that they stop this voter fraud.
