Apologizing for the disinvitation, especially since so many have supported us in so many rallies.

Where do you listen to him on radio? Is that only in NY?

Was he the Rabbi that called in to Hannity’s radio show Friday?

[mware]

mew you listening??

Did you hear the guest tell Rabbi Joe, you are a lawyer, you know what could happen if the tax exempt status would be questioned.

Snort :) When was the last time a group had its TE status pulled? This is such a load of bushwah.

[mware]

Rabbi Joe is a good friend of Sean, it might have been him calling in.

This really needs its own thread. This guest just confirmed that tax status threats was the reason for the disinvitation.

[mewzilla]

BTW, was this one of the groups involved...

National Jewish Democratic Council

If so, nuff said.

“I still think that Sarah should go to the rally. She could stay in the crowd and give her speech to the media that would have to cover the fact that she is there.
I would be great because of these simple facts: *** “

Brilliant!

I hope she follows your sage advice.

[mware]

Mew, in any case, he confirmed what was just rumor. He put his name to the accussation. Expect this to be on WABC radio news.

Rabbi Joe was quick to note that since both parties received invitations it was not partisan. The guest then said but we cant take a chance.

[mware]

He said that lawyers from one of the groups sent a letter from their attorneys.

I think you nailed it.

[mware]

The rest of this show is going to be very interesting.

WABC radio is pretty conservative. Mick savilie (producer of show) must have the phones ringing off the hook.

Seems like there’s an enormous opportunity for payback here.

How many Dem candidates attend church services during the election cycle and get a chance to speak to the congregations from the pulpit?

Someone needs to get a list of all the churches Obama and Biden are scheduled to speak at through election day. Then get a lawyer to start sending out C&D letters threatening to report them to the IRS if they don’t comply.

Then sit back and see what happens.

[tpanther]

Why is this not in the MSM?

---

Because they fully realize the American people will see the hypocrat party can’t even adequately, or even marginally organize a demonstration against Iran; so how can Americans trust them to stand up to Ahm’a’nutjob in the real world ??????

I think the tax status issue is bogus as I commented yesterday.

This guest just confirmed that tax status threats was the reason for the disinvitation.

Additionally it now occurs to me that the idea that a group that supports Democrats could lose its tax status because someone they oppose speaks to them is laughable. If they support Democrats then they shouldn't have charitable status anyway. This is just such BS.

Stick with the show a little longer. Well, now it's been an hour and a half. No callers. Just a bunch of "guests" who pretend that the Palin disinvitation is no more important than a forecast for cold weather. Not a single representation that something is seriously wrong.

I hear ya. I have to leave for Mass in 15 minutes so I can't stick around much longer.

I hope that Sean was listeing this morning because it was the proof that a letter sent from one of the organizing group nixed Sarah's appearance and that there was a threat of losing tax status.

Now it is time to know just what group sent the letter out and I think mew sorted that out on post #87

[mware]

I sure miss Fr Paul. He would not have let it stand without more questions.

[ml/nj]

Now some "minister" talking about some breakfast or something. No mention of the Galinsky rally on Thursday. Shame on Potasnik.

Can we invite him to become a Freeper???
