Security concerns led to cancellation of a high-ticket fundraiser for Hillary Clinton originally scheduled for Sunday at the Kern County Fairgrounds.
The breakfast event, sponsored by Bakersfield group Sikh Americans for Hillary '08, could have brought in more than $1.5 million to Clinton's presidential campaign coffers.
One thousand tickets ranging from $1,500 to $2,300 a plate were on the table for the Democratic hopeful.
Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had been scheduled to appear.
But security personnel who looked over the site, said Dr. Shivinder Deol, one of Clinton's local Sikh supporters, decided it was too risky.

It was gonna' be at the fairground. I guess she'z skert o' the comp'tition.
She has a habit of crawling into a hole after she scr*** up. Wonder what the real story is.
I like the word "Erase".
Betcha Kern County has too many concealed carry permits to suit Hillary.
Sorry to be picky, but it’s loyalist blue in an otherwise red communist state. Go Bakersfield!
BTW, Hillary wants it to look like she is in danger from the red necks in the nation. Victimhood plays well in the group that makes up her base.
Did they explain what the security concern was? Bakersfield doesn’t seem like a very dangerous place. I wonder if it was a stunt?
Doesn’t sound like there was an actual threat, just that it was too hard to guard them.
Lets get to THE REAL CAUSE, shall we?
After the staged debate, someone in the Hitler Campaign suddenly decided that a YouTube of Hillary in front of a mob of cheering Middle-Easterners wouldn’t help her with Iowa voters...
It is religious requirement that some Sikhs wear a knife at the side. Sometimes these are ceremonial knives, sometimes they could cut your head off with one pass.
We defended a guy who wore one into a courtroom cause nobody noticed it at teh metal detector.
I think that would be a bit of a security problem.
Ah swow, Loweezy, those legs got Hillary beat by a country mile.
The Clinton campaign spokesperson of questionable gender issued this statement.
“This event was canceled because we did not want to be mistakenly on the ballot of the fattest pig in the fair. We thought it would only play into the hands of the Republicans and the vast right wing conspiracy.”
Actually Bakersfield has become quite a dangerous place. Kern County Sheriff’s Dept doesn’t feature a most wanted list.
Anyone see any correlations?

That might be the reason! Maybe she couldn’t find any WASP Sieks.
Bingo!
Too bad Buck Owens isn’t alive to kick Hillary’s ample arse
Sikhs are from India but all the guys wear turbans. So Joe Sixpack would figure Hellery's addressing a raucous Muslim crowd
Total crap - she probably had 10 tuckets sold and cancelled so she would not look bad.
She’s a phony from the word go. No guts no glory.
