Palin on Ahmadinejad: 'He Must Be Stopped'(Speech she was going to give in NY)
New York Sun ^ | September 22, 2008 | Sarah Palin

Posted on 09/22/2008 6:28:44 AM PDT by bobsunshine

Governor Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president, was scheduled to speak today at a rally in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza to protest the appearance here of President Ahmadinejad of Iran. Her appearance was canceled by rally organizers who sought a nonpolitical event. Following are the remarks Mrs. Palin would have given:

I am honored to be with you and with leaders from across this great country — leaders from different faiths and political parties united in a single voice of outrage.

Tomorrow, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will come to New York — to the heart of what he calls the Great Satan — and speak freely in this, a country whose demise he has called for.

Ahmadinejad may choose his words carefully, but underneath all of the rhetoric is an agenda that threatens all who seek a safer and freer world. We gather here today to highlight the Iranian dictator's intentions and to call for action to thwart him.

He must be stopped.

The world must awake to the threat this man poses to all of us. Ahmadinejad denies that the Holocaust ever took place. He dreams of being an agent in a "Final Solution" — the elimination of the Jewish people. He has called Israel a "stinking corpse" that is "on its way to annihilation." Such talk cannot be dismissed as the ravings of a madman — not when Iran just this summer tested long-range Shahab-3 missiles capable of striking Tel Aviv, not when the Iranian nuclear program is nearing completion, and not when Iran sponsors terrorists that threaten and kill innocent people around the world.

Notice near the end she mentions Clinton and agrees with her that we need to stop Iran's nuclear weapons program. I wonder if Obama is going to respond. Oh wait, Biden to give a major speech to 100 people on Wednesday.

He will be speaking over the intercom at the courtesy booth at K-Mart.

Fox News actually reported that there were 60,000 people at the Villages rally for Sarah yesterday. I thought all of the MSM would ignore that 60,000 number and just report it as being in the thousands.

To bad FOX News us the only news network that reports these things. Feel sorry for the people that only have the alphabet channels and CNN to get their news.

She should still give the speech, even if it’s in Manitscolda Moosedakota.

I have to ask if we are all ready for Israel to launch a nuclear attack on Iran? We have left the Israeli’s little choice in the matter as we have refused to sell them equipment that could otherwise disable the attempt by the Persians to acquire a nuclear weapon. Currently Russia has agreed to supply Iran with weapons systems that should in a rational world negate any complaints from the Arab world of US weapons sales to Israel. Unfortunately we do not live in such a world, therefore we leave Israel with the choice of doing nothing or defending themselves with the only means left to them that would at least give them a chance at survival, nuclear attack.

What, no text message saying he’s stepping down from the VP position due to foot in mouth disease? I guess the intercom at the courtesy booth at K-Mart is just as good.

Agreed - I’m guessing at least FoxNews would show up if she gave this speech at a hotel near the protestors.

The first reports yesterday had the turn out at 70,000 then they down graded it to 60,000. There are a lot of pictures on the net and on various threads here on FR. I have yet to see a picture of the crowd from the air.

The Democrats killed this rally. Their only priority is to seize power.

It may not have been 60,000 - the fire chief reported 70,000. I wish FOX would assign a stringer and a camera to follow "Sarah" for the duration.

Maybe we should Freep FOX on that. Surely they could afford that - and it would infuriate the rest of the media and the dimRats as they couldn't counteract with showing like crowds.

That would give people a more accurate picture - in all ways - of what's really going on.

I guffawed at the snide remark of the outlet that had to grudgingly report the thousands that came to see/hear "Sarah" - saying that the crowd was due to her picking to appear in a 'safe area" largely Republican. They are really stretching.

Several of the former hostages contend that Ahmadinejad was one of the leaders of the student groups that seized the embassy in 1979.
