Sarah Palin Appearance at Tea Party Rally in Iowa ‘No Longer Confirmed’
WSJ ^ | August 31, 2011 | Danny Yadron

Posted on 08/31/2011 8:11:56 AM PDT by markomalley

Sarah Palin canceled her Saturday appearance at a tea party rally in Indianola, Iowa, a person close the former Alaska governor told The Wall Street Journal.

The person cited “continual lying” from event organizers at Tea Party of America, including a recent mixup over whether former U.S. Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell of Delaware would also speak.

Ms. Palin is known for last-minute schedule changes that whipsaw supporters and media across the country. But the latest decision is puzzling. Ms. Palin’s speech at the rally was viewed as her most high-profile appearance of the summer, fueling speculation she was indeed plotting to run for the Republican presidential nomination.

Attendees were reportedly traveling from across the U.S. to attend the rally in Iowa, which holds the nation’s first nominating contest next year.

The former governor will now appear at a Friday event in Des Moines sponsored by the group Conservatives4Palin. It is currently scheduled for 8 p.m. at The Machine Shed Restaurant, though the location will probably have to be changed, the person close to Ms. Palin said. Ms. Palin is still scheduled to appear at a Tea Party Express tour stop Monday in New Hampshire.

Ms. Palin may still hold an event Saturday, the person said, though she has no firm plans. It’s also possible she could still attend the Indianola tea party rally, the person said.

The former governor’s team decided to back out Tuesday night after rally organizers re-invited Ms. O’Donnell to speak on stage. Organizers had booked Ms. O’Donnell, who lost her 2010 bid for a U.S. Senate seat from Delaware, to speak but quickly withdrew the invitation in an effort to avoid controversy.

Exactly. I remember a lot of us discussing it and do not remember a single flame over it on any thread. I remember people crying wolf that she was abandoning her supporters and that it would be ‘the ultimate betrayal’ ect, but I do not remember a single person getting flamed. If it happened, then I missed it and I posted a lot on those threads.

Hey, thanks a bunch, because you became quite tiresome. Norm issued the challenge. You didn’t rise to it. So, thank-you. Goodbye!

I don’t like either one of them (IndyLindy or that Norm person) In fact, I called abuse on Norm. (wonder if the mods will agree with me that saying a person has bad breath is abuse. I think it is. Besides he’s stupid)

At least he didnt challenge you to ping you-know-who and tell him you are against ‘everything he stands for’, he was on that kick for a while. Before that he was saying he wants the PDSers (codeword=’anyone he doesnt like’) to promise to each one post an apology vanity when she announces she is really running(that may STILL be a tad away in time before that happens, pssst Halloween will be the new day...trick or treat... LOL)

Once in a blew moon someone acts like the above nonsense has some meaning.

Okay, I said that my flea spray must not have been strong enough. I was right.

Bye Norm, so-in-so hates both of us. Maybe we could team up.

A team up bump!

Well SOL (interesting combination of letters there), at least you didn’t accuse me of being a “Soros for Palin” plant with psychic powers or whatever that nonsense was you were spewing a while back again. So you seem to be getting better. Credit where it’s due and all that ;)

But then, you tried that Sleeper crap to and it didn’t get you far. You seem to be unable to back up your BS as well. Two of you on one thread...I’m honored!

Yeah, it’s not about liking one personality or the other. What annoys me is the endless trading of insults.

Sleeper????, you mean the 13 year old account where your first post was in March (2011) 13 years later and then after the one month newbee probation period in April you tried to make up the time by seeing how many fights you could start?? And you have done well at that. looks like you racked up at least 10 on this thread alone.

If you have a problem with my posts, I told you. Hit abuse. If you have a problem with my posting history, take it up with Jim. There’s nothing complicated about it.
If you have a problem with me disagreeing with people, then stand in line. If you have a problem with fights, join the Peace Corps.

But if you want to babble like an idiot, don’t let me stand in your way. Go post a ‘cheesecake’ pic of Palin to show your overarching maturity and steadfast conservatism.
