Iowa tea party: wants to keep details private on deals with Palin staff
WingRight.org ^ | August 31, 2011 | Beverly Nuckols, MD (hocndoc)

RedState's Erick Erickson tweeted that something's going on between Sarah Palin and the Iowa Tea Party., just as the Wall Street Journal reported.

I looked up the reference Mr. Erickson gave, and there's definitely something going on, but it's "private, for now."

Christine O’Donnell is off the guest list – again – and Sarah Palin is a “maybe.”

In the latest episode in the drama over the speaking lineup for Saturday’s Tea Party of America rally in Iowa, organizer Ken Crow said Palin’s staff called this morning to say Palin’s appearance at the rally was “on hold” until three changes were made.

“They said, ‘Ken, can you take care of bing, bing, bing’ and I said, ‘Yessir, I will’ and I did,” Crow, an Indianola Republican told The Des Moines Register.

“Now I’m waiting to hear back.”

Crow said two of the requests were logistical details: Email a copy of the program today, and address concerns about back-stage security and who will be allowed in that area.

Asked about the third request, Crow said: “Can I let that remain private for now?”

via Iowa tea party made three changes at Palin’s staff’s request | Iowa Caucuses.

BTW, speaking of “puppets,” Chris Cilizza, the Fix on the WaPo, is calling Sarah Palin the media puppet master

Leni,

You are generally right and everything you say makes sense but I think in the long run it won’t matter. A week after she announces that she is (or isn’t) running the whole lead up will be forgotten.

With that said, it’s best to get going sooner than later as people are picking teams now.

During the review of plans & procedures prior to a big event it is not unusual to make many changes in details. Good grief.

I don’t know other than the tweets and retweets from people claiming to have spoken to someone in the Palin camp. On the other hand, none of them deny that there’s a hold and/or that the Iowa event organizer, Mr. Crow is not truthful about the hold.

I did think that the complaints that the organizers are “lying” came more from his rumored talk about knowing for certain that Governor Palin isn’t running.

I have not read anything in days from the Governor, herself.

They had scheduled CO to speak immediately before Sarah. They said they had “squeezed her in.” That means that they had to take time away from someone else and that she would be the last person on stage before Sarah. THAT was ridiculous. They could have scheduled her anytime, but to choose that particular time was the height of stupidity.

BTW we know that ken crow is a perry supporter. mmmmkay? And we know this because he said so.

Good grief, indeed. We’re talking about two pretty big news makers.

I’ve been to events with last minute changes in the line up of the speakers. Sometimes it’s for the better, but if the very person who was a big motive for attending doesn’t show, it’s very disappointing.

I like Christine O’Donnell so much I sent her $100 during her run for senate. The GOP establishment dumped on her causing me to like her even more. From what I’ve read, she has been cleared of all alleged wrong doing. She speaks eloquently and stands on the same issues as I. Bless you Christine.

I agree! I support anyone who is willing to take on the ruling elites in both parties. I think it's sad how easily people are manipulated by those elitist pigs.

hocndoc is a schill for Rick Perry and she’s afraid that a candidate like Sarah Palin may jump into the race and sink her masters chances. So she’s engaged in strategy of premptively casting Sarah Palin in a negative light.

Hocndoc is generating false animosity between Palina nd O’donell. Either her or one the other perrybots around here will try to sell you the rest of the time share later.

So, are there last minute requirements and if so,what are they?
Was the Palin appearance on hold or not?
Why is the “Palin camp” talking to “insiders” and why hasn’t anyone spoken to the rest of us?
This is “playing games.”

And this is respectful discussion about current events.

I’ve worked hard to avoid criticism of any of the R’s except Ron Paul, because there are 3 or 4 who might make it to the ballot.

I believe that the forum rules are explicit about personal attacks, however. You should not call a fellow FReeper” a bald face liar.”

You can not read minds.

And, if you will re-read the text, the first comment is in 2 separate paragraphs.

I’m of the opinion that none of us should be making demons out of any of the rest of us.

(I make an exception for Ron “The troops can march out the same way they came in” Paul. Even with him, I stick to what he actually said.)

I have been reading these threads the last few days and I must tell you, you are the one who comes across as desperate. You need to chill before you stroke out or something. We need all the votes against obozo that we can get, I am sure you want him out as much as the rest of us do.

The Tea Party decided to uninvited O’Donnell.

It appears that they uninvited O'Donnell because Palin was going to cancel if they didn't.

So why do Perry Palin devotees preoccupy themselves with attacking Sarah Palin Rick Perry when they're not schilling shilling for Perry Palin. Strange...

There, fixed it for you. No charge.
