Sources: Intense Pressure Led To Palin UN Snub

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.

Palin is so far above that kind of nonsense.

See site below for a succinct explanation.

For further information simply Google Barrett Report.

Not a single Republican has had the guts to cause its release. Senator Grassley, who initially said he would release it, somehow lost his backbone as time went on. Rep. Tom DeLay had the opportunity to have it released as he was forced to leave Congress, but he also didn't have the fortitude to do so either.

What exactly is in those 100 redacted pages?

The American people deserve to know.

I repeat. We get the government we deserve!

you mean Obama would jeopardize losing the Jewish vote over something like this ?...

That's just the problem, he doesn't think he'll lose it.

Jews have traditionally supported equal rights, blacks, and the DemoRat party, and have been repaid with antisemitism.

Why they continue their support, I don't know.
