CBS 2 HD Has Learned Democrats Threatened To Attack Jewish Groups' Tax Exempt Status Over VP Nominee Invite
Hillary Clinton won't be speaking at Monday's anti-Iran rally at the United Nations -- and neither will Republican Sarah Palin or any other politicians for that matter.
The reason? A heated behind the scenes tug-of-war.
Sources tell CBS 2 HD that a decision to disinvite Palin from the high profile rally after Clinton pulled out in a huff came as the result of intense pressure from Democrats.
"This is insulting. This is embarrassing, especially to Gov. Palin, to me and I think it should be to every single New Yorker," Assemblyman Dov Hikind, D-Brooklyn, told CBS 2 HD.
Sources say the axes were out for Palin as soon as Sen. Clinton pulled out because she did not want to attend the same event as the Republican vice presidential candidate.
"I have never seen such raw emotion -- on both sides," said someone close to the situation.

you also have to keep in mind that Hillary has a lot of debt. The Obama people may be holding her hostage too...she better play with them or else her debt won’t be paid back.
“Our country is polarized beyond what would be considered normal politics. ... What we’re coming to is full-scale war between the ideologies of democracy/capitalism/freedom and liberal/progressive/fascism with attendant governmental control of every facet of life. Make no mistake, this is war.”
So then, which side is the Blue... and the Gray?
Oh crap. If you behave you'll probably get it. Plan B--make a run for it.
This is unbelievable...you mean Obama would jeopardize losing the Jewish vote over something like this ?...Is he that stupid ?...Jewish voters have been solidly behind the Democrat Party ever since i can remember...To threaten to take away their tax exempt status is a terrible thing to do...Even this Catholic would be at the ramparts in protest if this were to happen because Catholics would be next..we hear those threats all the time anyway....it’s a revolting development and yes the MSM should be all over this...
Florida has been won by McCain, now.
And New York is in play.
Don’t kjnow about blue vs gray at this point. Do know about free vs not free.
this is not just about Jews. A Nuclear Iran threatens EVERYONE. they are laughing at us
And Pennsylvania is going to be leaning McCain after the 9/26 debate, I'd guesss.
Well, I figure we got a civil war coming ... but I am not too sure about which side the “Federals” we be on this time around. Seems the conservatives will hold the “rebel states” and the libs will run the “centralized” government.
The party of extortion with an offer they couldn’t refuse.
Let’s find out which individuals put the pressure on.
Just what ‘raw emotion’ has been evidenced by Republicans?
I doubt Jewish voters will abandon the Dems any more than, say, the moonbats in MA would.
Intense pressure this! There will be no more donations to any causes supported by these craven organizers.
I emailed John Batchelor, who has Malcolm Hoenlein on his program every week.
The email I got back used the threat to their tax free status as the excuse. IMO, it’s nothing more than a transparent fig leaf.
They gave in to dem hustlers.
that’s what Hikind said and that shows that the dems are willing to destroy a jewish org if they don’t toe the Obama line.
Wasn't this the subject of the Barrett Report that to this day has not been made public?
Any member of Congress can cause it to be released by simply having it read into the Congressional Record. Not one Republican congressperson has stepped up to the plate. Why?
We get the government we deserve!
Given the low level of personal giving by the dems, it’s shooting themselves in the foot to insult republicans in this manner.
