I am looking for the link. He was on radio Friday morning explaining. Essentially 3 of the 5 organizations sponsoring the event announced that they intended to pull out of the Rally if it went ahead with Palin.
Obama had suggested Wexler as the Democrat speaker and when Palin didn't pull out due to the insult, they began pressing for Palin to be disinvited. This pressure was extraordinary including lawyers pressuring the sponsors that their Tax Exempt status would be at risk if they dared to continue to participate in the Rally with Palin speaking.
Malcolm is deeply upset but had to step back and save the rally. He said the truth would come out and the folks responsible for this would have to deal with the consequences of this shameful episode.
He believed allowing this to completely cancel the Rally would be a greater evil so the organization accepted the reality that some Jews love party and power more than Israel.
He is responsible to do what he can to protect our country and Israel by voicing opposition to the evil that Iran is attempting.
So Obama personally suggested Wexler as a deliberate insult to Palin? I can believe it. The nastiness of Obama is amazing. When he first began to look like a viable candidate for the nomination early this year, I thought that he was just as bad as Hillary on issues but at least a nicer person. I was mistaken—he outdoes the Clintons.
Jstreet is a relatively new organization of extremist moonbats who basically believe we should appease Ahmadinejad at all costs. The only way they could get 15,000 signatures is if the Democratic Party supplied them. The founders Ben Ami and Solomon worked for Bill Clinton. One of their main goals this year is to defeat Coleman in Minnesota. This is a Democratic Party front group, nothing more, nothing less. Ben Ami was involved in the Geneva “peace effort” financed by Europeans aimed at Israel’s capitulation to the PLO. Its support in Israel never went beyond two or three percent of electorate.
One rally more or less won't mean squat in the scheme of things. But betraying and insulting your best friends in the world (Conservative Christian Americans) will reap a harvest of very bitter fruit. I hope this Malcolm, whoever he is, is prepared for the consequences. Do these leftwing Jews really think Obama will have their back when Iran and Hezbollah strike?
“Malcolm is deeply upset but had to step back and save the rally. He said the truth would come out and the folks responsible for this would have to deal with the consequences of this shameful episode.”
I would hope so ... we have a right to know which tax-exempt organizaions threatened other tax-exempt organizations in order to advance their own political agenda. Then those who threatened should permanently lose their tax-exempt status and those making the threats should spend a little time cooling their heels in the slammer. General population. The lawyers pushing the threats should be disbarred.
And, Jews of good faith should continue to support only those organizations that are are proven to be for the greater good and not for the advancement of a marxist agenda.
