Palin chides Clinton over protest

Hillary is going to go out kicking and screaming.....she needs to beat it.

Kind of a misleading headline, don't you think? That statement hardly sounds critical of Senator Clinton. But go ahead and keeping spinning.

"she acknowledged last week that she has never met one."

Nor has she ever met a real life black person, A VP vetting commission, or a Moose that didn't have it comin'.

Same courtesy???!!! The liberal/prograssive SS media machine has been a non-stop harangue of rancid putrid lying hatespeech since day one .. SHEESH

interesting how I can not find anything on this site about the woman that is now supporting McCain because she can not trust Obama. Having a news conference today..Powerful business leader, husband is an international economist. Anyone know her name?

Palin is going after Hills because she is playing politics with national security, classic democrat.

Sarah Palin has been trashed because she is trash. In this day and age you cannot go on lying to the public and not get called on it. Hillary is one of the strongest and smartest women in the political eye and she is doing the right thing. For the two of them to meet would simply bring the light back to Palin. Mrs. Palin's light is fast fading. She was a flash in the pan and nothing more. The debate with Biden will show us who she really is. I would love for this woman to go on a real show where she is asked real questions. She can't even talk for herself anymore. Her sugar daddy has to do it. What a joke! This is one Independant who is voting Obama/Biden!

Criticism? What criticism? Palin just stated that she hoped that everyone would rally together in opposition to this threat to our country.

Marla is soooooo wrong!!!
What it comes down to is what follows the event. The photographers will do their best to get pictures of them together, smiling and waving to the crowd and the right wing, fox pundits will flash that image on their shows, websites, whatever with a caption that reads "Palin and Hillary come together" or something similar in effect.
What this will do is give the impression that Hillary is cool with that cow Palin and that will be all some of the Hillary supporters need to cast their vote to McCain. It's truly sad that many of our fellow voters will only look at the image, avoiding reading the article or will listen to the blowhards on the right instead of getting the whole story behind the meeting.
I feel it was smart of her to avoid the whole situation. She doesn't need to give any ammunition to the right wing to help the McCain camp.

If Sarah Palin faced things head on then she would face the investigations going on in her home state of Alaska. Her childish behavior of not answering questions to prove her innocence is not a good look at all. It just shows that she is emmersed in dirty politics and has too many skeletons in her closet.

Thanks Hillary for joining the "women against Palin".

I have no idea what PALIN ACTUALLY BELIEVES because she doesn't write any of the stuff herself - its all being handled by "aides" who are carefully scripting her every word, her every move, and even stylists are hired to dress her. WHO IS SHE??? I have no idea?

You mean protesting a man who wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, denies the holocaust happened and runs a theocracy is "a partisan political even!" WTF???!!

Was the 9/11 ceremony in NYC partisan because McCain attended? Obama apparently didn't think so.

Hillary has no insight or conviction about this cause. What does it matter who shows up at a cause that you believe in? Does it not show that you are independent enough to show up with an adversary to plea a common cause. She has surrounded herself with cowardly handlers, as anyone with a lick of sense would have encouraged her to go and even be civil to Palin. How cowardly!

There goes the Jewish vote, Hillary

It's not the time to ambush these two - nor is it a good move on the part of the organizers.
Palin will get into trouble for criticising Hillary - BRING IT ON.
VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN '08

This was never intended to be a partisan-politically motivated event. The fact that Palin's camp is speaking out, means they have absolutely no concept of decorum and respect. Clinton's camp took the high ground, and Palin's camp went straight to the gutter, typical GOP behavior.
Palin strong? All smoke and mirrors. There's a crack in the corner of the mirror, that is growing exponentially. If she is so strong, why isn't she presenting solutions to problems? All I see is her and her pundits screaming "Waaaah....They're picking on me because I'm a girl....Waaaaaahhhhh."
Palin....Show us your tax returns (what are you hiding???)...Take questions from reporters....She is in "keyboard commando" mode, sniping and running away to hide. It's like watching some 10 year old on an internet bulletin board.

what trash talking did Sarah Palin just do? say she was disappointed that HRC couldn't appear to have any lick of wavering support for the Reverend Hope - perish the thought!

Granted the Obama goon squads on the blogs heads would have exploded if she had shoke her hand rather than punch her in the nose.

unless you plede BLIND alliegence to Obama you are bound to get pounded by all the 'hopefull' 'inspired' masses out there....

Waco much?

What with all the right-wing, conservative, financial chicanery, venality, outright thievery, and siciopathic incompetence being revealed in the financial area to be hung up on the pig metaphor is completely ludicruous.
I believe my oersonal description of the Republicans and their conservative as well as reactionary minions is far more appropriate. To wit, "Same smell. different armpit."
The same nauseating smell comes from Wall Street, extends to the naked power grab by duMbya and Cheney, goes through the gutting of our Constitution and reaches the issue of America as torturer.
Tp paraphrase the former Mets slogan, "Conservatives Values, You Gotta Love."

I think there will be several attempts, like this one, to get Sarah Palin a sneak photo op with Hillary. Something with a caption that says, "Look, Hillary supporters! Hillary supports Sarah!" Just another way to turn public opinion in favor of someone highly unqualified and divisive. It's happening from the conservative movement: the warnings to college students that voting will cut off their scholarships, the false crackdown on voter fraud to deter minorities and elderly people from voting, the continuous airing of falsehoods about Obama that are meant to stir fear and loathing among jittery Americans... and now this.

marla, you need to seriously re-evaluate your understanding of politics and diplomacy. How about doing us a favor, get your neo-conservative head out of the media-infused collective arse you have so obviously stuff it into and start thinking before you write. Not only is what you wrote full of the same pandering rhetoric most uninformed people spout, but even the partisan shills and political quacks these days seem to know more than what you've just knocked off.

for what its worth, I doubt any of your grey matter will ever go beyond the 4th grade, trash rag, Enquirer ridden intellect you've so genuinely exemplified. Therefore, I wish you the very best in your efforts and hope you get exactly what you seek.

What's wrong with you people? Other than using extreme headlines and trying to read into statements to further attack Palin? Thanks for proving that the media is so frantic about their hero being challenged they will stoop to any level. What is your definition of CRITICISM? We are so sick of you media people it's not even funny. And stop trying to control HIllary supporters in Palin's camp now. We can read and judge for ourselves. Obama is the issue and he will be stopped from hijacking a position of power and continuing his racist, sexist, AntiAmerican Anti Semitic Marxist attacks on America. And in case you have problems recognizing who had the problem, apparently it was HIllary who refuses to be in the same area as Palin. So be it.

Hillary should send Bill and show Sarah how to conduct a press conference

Why should Hillary want to give more oxygen to Sarah Palin? Imagine it ....... "Hillary, do ya know what I told Congress? I said 'thanks, but no thanks' on that Bridge to Nowhere ....... and that jet? it was over the top .......

The media has been trying to get Hillary and the pit bull together ever since this thing started ( the bull's nomination). Ain't going to happen until Hillary wants it to. Poor Lip Stick just doesn't "get it!"

I can't help but wonder whether Joe Lieberman had anything to do with the groups that organized this rally...and whether or not he played a role in setting Hillary up for this strategic embarrassment. After all, giving Palin an opportunity to criticize Hillary in any way, given Clinton's support for Obama, would work for Lieberman, since he'll do anything to subvert Obama and enhance McCain's chances in November. Whether it was Joe or the organizers, it was an ugly move, and Hillary was right to cancel.

Foon Rhee,
Shame on you for your headline. Misleading indeed. Unbiased... I think not. In no way did the McCain/Palin camp directly criticize Mrs. Clinton. Please put your claws away. If anything, Mrs. Clinton should be furious with her own party for handing the nomination over to Mr. Obama, a relative unknown who's past record and political/religious ties are more than questionable (The Obama Nation) Sorry - your party had the best chance of winning with Mrs. Clinton on the top of the ticket... you blew it.

McCain/Palin '08 - The CHANGE that counts

I agree this shouldn't have been a partisan event. However, I think Senator Clinton should take any opportunity to be compared to Gov. Palin. Senator Clinton's entire past was investigated to the nth degree; no subpoenas ducked. The Governor has an empty answer and a serious problem with every aspect of national interest, most notabley women's issues.

I have to comment to the Jewish voters...
My mom converted to Judaism when I was young. I have great love and respect for the Jewish people.
Please realize that voting for McCain and Palin is voting for people who only want to use you.
These are people who only think Israel is important because they need it for Armageddon to happen, and their own salvation to be realized. Once they're in heaven, they believe all of you are going to Hell, and as far as I've seen, they don't have any problem with that.
I've read alot of the end-times prophecy and books from the rapture minded Neo-Cons. This is how they think.
They might protect Israel, sure. But they won't do it because they care about the Jewish people. And as soon as they think they can bring about Armageddon, they'll do it...and Israel will become the worst battleground in the history of the world. Is that really the kind of support you want Israel to have?
Are these really the kind of people whose side you want to be on?
These are the kind of people who belonged to country clubs where Jews weren't allowed. These are the kind of people who did nothing during the Holocaust. And let's not forget that McCain's good friend Bush had a granddad who thought Hitler was a great guy, and did business with him even while members of our Greatest Generation were dying at war with him.
Please, don't give them your vote! They want to buy you with a bunch of meaningless flattery after years of doing nothing for you. Remember the past. Think of the future. Vote Democrat!

What is Hillary afraid of??? Oh yea, I guess if I looked and acted like Hillary, I wouldn't want to be any where near Sarah. And Hillary sure wouldn't want Bill to be anywhere near Sarah - for obvious reasons!!! lolol

Sarah would have her for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!! lololololol!!!

Run Hillary Run!!! Oh yea, you did run - and lost!!! lol

Duh! Hillary is campaigning for Sen. Obama. She cannot allow video of her and Palin at the same event when Palin is trying to glean Hillary's supporters away from Obama. That would send the exact message to PUMA (and others like them) that Hillary, the Obama campaign and the DNC are attempting to defeat.

'"Governor Palin believes that the danger of a nuclear Iran is greater than party or politics. She hopes that all parties can rally together in opposition to this grave threat,"' said Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for Palin."

If this is non-partisan, why did she criticize the Democrat for not agreeing to appear? This smells of a set-up. Further, I don't see why anyone should appear with Palin until her male running mate ungags her and allows the press free access to Palin, the person who is a heartbeat away from the presidency. This is lunacy!

Wow! Now the truth is coming out. For months, I have said that many Capitol Hill Democrat Party leaders were supporting radical Islamic nations like Iran and others over oil, rather than supporting the United States and our own necessary economy. Today, Democrat Party Senator Hillary Clinton ‘cancelled’ a planned event at the United Nations to criticize Iran, rather than to join Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin is the elected Governor of Alaska and the GOP nominee for Vice President of the United States. Citizens of America will fully understand where this Democrat stands. The hidden vote against American oil drilling may be to support Arab countries and other OPEC nations over our own USA and it’s much essential needs for our economy. Senator Clinton stands with Iran rather than to stand with Sarah Palin? God Bless Sarah Palin and God Bless the USA.

Beware Americans, these DIRTY TRICKS will be played on us the people if the Republicans win in this election.
Remember how TRICKS and LIES is the MccBushPalin method of operation.Let the American people know that Mccain Palin can NOT hide their dirty tricks behind the needs of the "Israel security" or behind the needs to earn votes for the "GOP"
Beware Americans, these DIRTY TRICKS will be played on us the people if the Republicans win in this election.
TRICKS and lLIES is their method of operation.
DECIET.

Palin wants Hillary to come because that would say "Palin and Hillary are on the same level--in the same league."

Hillary doesn't want to be seen with Palin because it will look like she accepts her as an equal.

Everyone is hysterical over this, and the main benefactor of all this emotion is the media. Because everybody likes a good catfight.

I think Yes--Hillary should have gone to show solidarity for the cause. But it does put her in an akward position. Unless she goes up to the mic and says: "Hi. I am Hillary a woman of accomplishment. That is Palin. A woman a little accomplishment."

Hillary Clinton absolutely cannot stand the fact that she is no longer the
"Alpha Dog" female politician in America. She prayed for and is working
for Barack Obama to lose so she can run in 2012. But, opps, something
happened on the way to the party... Sarah Palin is now and will be for years
to come the foremost female politician in America.

Not only did Barack Obama jump the line in front of her and steal her life's
dream, but, obviously, now Sarah Palin has done it as well, and put the
final nail in Hillary's political coffin.

One way or another, now or later, Sarah Palin WILL BE the first woman to
occupy the White House.

Poor, poor Hillary...

This was an obvious move to create political theater, in the dreams of the "catfight" the media has been salivating over hopefully happening. On top of everything else, the sheer STUPIDITY of setting this up to occur in a venue with the leader of Iran present!! Great way to shore up respect for the USA!! Palin by her own admission doesn't know much about foreign policy, is being tutored by Lieberman before the debates and still hasn't met her first foreign ambassador or dignitary, and some bonehead wants to put her into this assembly? Hillary had the right idea, in wanting no part of this orchestrated train wreck. It just shows the levels to which the Republicans will stoop to get their Golden Calf a larger audience and portray her credentials beyond their worth.

Israeli Lobby at it once more:
The Republican vice presidential candidate will attend a rally outside the United Nations Monday morning to protest the appearance of Iranian President. The event is being organized once more by a coalition of American Jewish organizations, under the umbrella group the National Coalition to Stop Iran Now, or more appropriately “Israel Lobby Coalition to Destroy Iran Now. The same type rally was created last year when the President of Iran addressed the United Nations.
Israeli Lobby organizations are good at inciting fear, stirring up false hysteria. They used the same techniques prior to inciting Bush Administration to attack Iraq. They are using the same technique once more to create the illusion of fear from Iran.

Why Israeli Lobby would not worry about USA and create a rally in front of the USA Congress about the issues affecting this nation? I don't find Iran to be the issue at this time. The issues for USA are poor economy, broken infrastructure, exported professional jobs, lack of medical insurance for many Americans, homelessness, and over burdened borrowing from other nations.

Did USA not sacrifice enough American lives in Iraq? Did we not spend enough borrowed money from other nations in our occupation of Iraq? We could have used the money to upgrade the entire USA rail system, plus rebuild many of our old school systems? Enough is enough.

Wow, your headline is way off base, no where in the statement from Gov. Palin did she criticize Sen. Clinton. I believe the correct headline should have read "HILLARY DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE WORD PARTISAN" because having invited BOTH parties to the rally, makes it a BI-PARTISAN event. But seriously, how could Sen Clinton turn her back on the Jewish community like that. They supported her and it was their vote that got her elected. How soon we forget.

Jews fo McCain/Palin '08

Palin is a virus, and Clinton doesn't want to catch it. Can you blame her? I think lots of people will be staying away from her, now that they now everything about her is a lie.

Hillary Clinton has the integrity and intelligence to realize that this rally/protest could end up in the gutter and is wisely staying out. She's a diplomat. Palin is not. Palin's answer to everything will be "agree with me or I'll flatten you" This is just what America cannot tolerate if we are to survive as a respected nation with a working economy.

Hillary is not going to be a stepping stone for Palin and I agree with her. Palin is the most ignorant person ever to be placed on a VP list and just may become the next President of the United States if McCain, the oldest man on earth croaks the day after being sworn in. It sends shivers up my spine to think of the possibility. A mouthpiece as our next President, I hope the republicans have a good supply of lipstick and speech writers on hand because they'll need it for the woman who only knows how to read the same old boring speech day after day and knows nothing about foreign policy except that she can see Russia from Alaska. What are the republicans thinking??

As an African American baby-boomer...and a former Clinton supporter, I find Hillary's decision to be polite to Palin is so that she can maintain her support from the women voters. As an Obama supporter, I am not seeing the same fire for the Party that she had against Obama. Many times elevating McCain, the Republican over Obama. It appears that the only vote that she (Hillary) is concerned about is the votes from the racist states and white women. Unless she comes out fighting for the Democrats like she fought Obama...she will not win another election and if McCain should win...then she would have to run against Palin in 2012...and the African American vote will be vital, since the females will be spit, and we that African Americans will let them duke it out! Since they both have a problem with an African American breaking that glass ceiling! Obama-Biden 08!

Iran is not a threat. This is so over-bloated. And I welcome Ahmadinejad. The guy is an idiot. I don't feel threaten by his monkey intelligence. I dont know why anyone takes him seriously.

The ABSOLUTE WORST idea for Palin would be to TICK OFF Hillary Clinton!!!
Hillary would SHRED this CHICLET!!!

"Governor Palin believes that the danger of a nuclear Iran is greater than party or politics. She hopes that all parties can rally together in opposition to this grave threat," said Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for Palin.

First, if what Schmitt is stating here were true, then she would not have made the statement - would she?

Second, if shaking hands with dignitaries counts as foreign policy experience - then I have far more experience than Palin (as does anyone who has ever attended a university lecture by a dignitary or current or former world leader)

Another made-up, sewer spewin' rant from McCain's attack poodle. Poor Sarah doesn't realize she's being used by her own party. When is she going to answer questions from reporters, you know, like the rest of the cadidates do?

I find Clinton's refusal to attend the rally very disturbing. Though I did not support Clinton, I found some admiration for the way she "hung in" the race and refused to be cowed; now I see somethig quite different.

Clinton spokeswoman's excuse that "this was not billed as a non-partisan" event is more than weak and shameful. Is this spokeswoman inferring that only democrats are, and have a right to be, concerned about a nuclear Iran?

The majority of U.S. citizens are tired of this political bickering that seems to be permissive on BOTh sides. Moreover, this has been an issue of great concern in this election especially. For Clinton to do this, with such a flimsy excuse, is going to hurt the democratic ticket.

Make no mistake!

"...we hope Senator Obama will consider lending his own voice to this cause."

Keep dreaming. Why would he reward your organizational incompetence?

As for Palin, I hope she keeps criticizing HRC. That'll do a lot to bring HRC's supporters over to her (NOT!).

And will she talk about starting a 'nukular' war with Iran? The world holds its breath in anticipation.

Sarah Palin is a joke, as is her presence at this rally. She probably doesn't even know where Iran is ( seen as how she can't see it from her house). Hillary probably didn't want to divert the focus from the rally away from the real issue. I'm proud of you Hillary, don't make that rally into the sh%* show that Palin always puts on.

Also, Hill doesn't want anything to do with her, for good reason. She's not going to be seen with her at a rally in case the media starts to claim that Hillary "suppports" Palin. Hillary's not afraid of her, she's dodging even more media coverage of that idiot.

And, any woman who relates to her just because you share a gender, is also an idot. Her views are ANTI-woman, wake up!

Oh No Caraboo Barbie Didn't????????

"Governor Palin believes that the danger of a nuclear Iran is greater than party or politics. She hopes that all parties can rally together in opposition to this grave threat," said Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for Palin.

This is ripping and criticizing? Classic...I know the polls have McCain now only 5% back in New York but isn't it a little early for Foon and The Editors to start fabricating controversy? If this contrived fued can just keep NY out of the "too close to call" margin of error we won't have to jump into the life boats kids..Don't worry we'll right the ship.

Objective poilitical journalism died in '08 with Tim Russert.

BREAKING NEWS:

Today is partly cloudy. "Presumably, the Obama campaign pressed the weather currents to deny us full sunshine" said Palin and McCain spokespersons.

"We hope Mr. Obama will come to realize that sunshine for all is a Bipartisan issue and will retract his denial of sunshine for the good of all Americans!"

The Republicans on this site are hilarious. We have a 3 Decade track record of ReagaNOMICS FAILING and yet they still want to continue that same philosophy.

Fact Check: At the end of Reagan's second term we had the begining of the S&L Banking Crisis, now at the End of Bush's Second Term, we have another Banking Crisis. How many more pulls of the trigger do you Republicans want to take in the game of Russian Roulette with the American Economy.

ReagaNOMICS, Trickle Down, Supply side, Deregulation, or whatever you want to call it. Sure looks good on paper, but then again so did communism, But that DID NOT WORK EITHER.

So, it was a NON-partisan event..until...hillary found out that Palin would be there. Suddenly it became a Partisan event. Are we supposed to believe that Clinton is a dis-interested bystander with no partisan position. To quote Bill....GIVE ME A BREAK! Hillary is showing what a petty shrew she really is. But, we knew that.

You know the saying "A picture's worth a thousand words."

If Hillary stood on the same stage with Palin, the lying republicans would say,

"See, Hillary is here supporting Sarah." in an attempt to trick voters.

The McCain camp knows the only way they can win is to lie and hoodwink the voters. Many people (unfortunately) just look at the picture and assume it were true.

As an outsider (70% of the world would vote for Obama/Biden) I just want to let you folks know we read the comments. Like I mentioned, 70 percent of 6 billion people would vote for Obama, remind me how many people in the US of A? I am sure the 30% who would not vote for Obama (not necessarily vote for McCain) live in 3rd world countries and dont have access to the Media. Anyone want to do the math (besides the democrats?)...bottom line 70% of the world is not Democratic but um can see through things?

This is just tooooo much...

Ms. Palin merely accepted an invitation. That’s it. And as a Democrat I agree with her press release. This should have been a non partisan event until Ms. Clinton decided it not.

What is happening here? I was a Hillary supporter and then an Obama supporter. This is no longer the case. My heart says Obama but my mind says McCain.

I have come to the conclusion that I'm done chasing Democratic moon pies. How many times do we have to see the first act and then be forced to leave the performance? How many times do we trot out radical change during elections only to be told no by the majority on Election Day? Why can’t we tweak our weaknesses into strengths? If we want change, we have to perform this subtly not overtly or we'll keep getting our lunch eaten. Nice job again Howard & Co. for ushering in another historical loss.

I won’t even need to hold my nose this election.

Sarah Palin just learned who the leader of Iran was LAST WEEK. This is a cheap attempt at getting a Hillary/Palin photo op -- and Hillary Clinton is not about to do that.

This was clearly a political ploy by the Carl Rove operatives that run Sarah Palin's campaign. Yes it is now Sarah Palin's campaign not McCain's. He can't be seen without her. Clinton was right for canceling, even though she will take a hit for it, she is smart enough to know that any pictures of her and Palin together or even separately at the same event will be used against her in order to persuade her supporters to back Palin/McCain. Hillary is a class act and Sarah does not belong on the same stage with her. WAKE UP America! Sarah is fad that is fading fast. Obama back up by 2 percent in the daily Gallup Poll. the Dems have weathered the Alaskan storm and will be moving on .... to the White House.......

I thought Clinton was willing to be "bi-partisan". Who bailed. Clinton did. Why are people attacking Palin on this. Palin did not bail. Clinton. I am neither a democrat nor a Republican, but on this story Clinton lost some of my respect. You, Clinton try to tell me you are a woman for ALL Americans, but a Republican woman show us and you run away. Obviously her party is more important the her position. Being partisan is more important than policy. I am glad at lest one woman is willing to look past her party and try to do what she sees as right for America. Score Palin 1 Clinton 0.

While I have some issues with Palin, (as I do with Clinton), on this topic alone the democrats have a black eye. I hope Clinton realizes her error. If I find out that Obama was the reason she did that, then I will lose some respect for him too.

Let's try to have in intelligent discussion here. Name calling??? How old are we?

The reason there is division in this country is because some people still looking backwards decades past.And the more that goes on the more their lives and attitude stay the same.Those type of people missed the train of hope and prosperity because they are too busy ranting about the past.Get over with your racial distinction and remarks and stop feeling sorry about yourselves whether you are a blue,red,yellow,green or whatever color you are.Back to Sarah Palin and Hilliary Clinton they are both very competitive women in their political lives and both mothers too.I'm thrilled and excited that a woman is running for vice president and would love to see a woman at the White House not as a spouse but as a President or Vice President.Sarah Palin replaces Hilliary Clinton when the Democrat Party ditched her for Obama and make matter worse he ditched her again.So if Hilliary got ditched once is enough but it happened twice and that means she worth nothing according to the dems.So Hilliary supporters have a point in suporting Sarah Palin and womens issues and voices ought to be important to both Presidential candidates and Parties.But in this crucial election John Mccain came to the rescue of womens issues and concerns just as a war hero does in conflicts and war rescuing his comrades.

Is anyone even reading the article before they blast Hillary? McCain's statement rests the contention squarely on the shoulders of Obama who apparently too insecure to have Clinton and Palin appear together.

That said, there has been no direct sourcing of any of this information - only the brief statement made by a spokeperson in the middle of the night. I would assume this whole misunderstanding will be cleared up in the next day or two.

Let's not kid ourselves. McCain/Palin won't win without the 5-9 million Clinton supporters that are crossing party lines. They don't want to make Hillary Clinton look bad in any way - it's not in their best interest.

Is anyone concerned about the ease with which Sarah Palin lies over and over again? Pretty scary since she gets outed daily but continues to spout the same lies again and again. She's a gimmick.
I support Obama, but if he pulled a stunt like this with his VP pick I would never vote for him. Country First--as in don't pick a nobody to be President by proxy. I sure wish Obama could, with a straight face, steal this campaign slogan from McCain. Hilarious!!!!

Why would Hillary want to be part of a Sarah Palin "photo op"? McCain's guys are trying to give Palin some credibility, since she has none of her own, and they see Hillary as a means to that end. Hillary was smart not to bite. Remember, the Clintons are pretty wise when it comes to the republicans and how they operate. It's too bad that some of the American people are still blind to the republican machine and how they think - sad, very sad.

John McCain should be embarrassed by the actions his campaign are taking to get him elected. Picking Ms First Runner-up Alaska is just one example of many. He knowingly put this country at risk choosing a person completely unqualified for the job... just to get the religious right vote that he himself couldn't get.

The "maverick" that often bucked his party, is on their leash and pandering to everything and everyone he supposedly was a "maverick" against.

He sold himself out, and he should be embarrassed. The fact that he isn't says a lot about his character, his ego and his thirst for power - at any cost.

Pitiful...

Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton, she should try to inform her handlers to lay of HRC, because that is not how you court her voters. She should settle down and try to prepare for the Heads of State meeting, she will need to be up on her Miss Manners.

Hillary had better wake up and smell the coffee! Her absurd attempt to "triangulate" with Palin is a farce. She can't "avoid a cat fight" with Palin in order to keep from alienating the Hillary women base in Appalachia for a '12 run by Hillary, and in order to make such a run possible by subtly underming Obama by not taking Palin on HARD. If Palin wins this year, she will destroy Hillary in '12; she will smear the walls with her. Despite her hypocrisy at the Dem convention. Hillary cares a lot less about her principles than about Hillary '12. It's great that the Likud Jews who supported her in her nomination run have now put her in hot water by trying to bring her and Palin, both bought and paid for by Likud, to the same stage, threatening to blow St. Hillary's cover with Democratic liberals who are not enthralled with Dem neocons like Lieberman. Which side are you on, Hill? Hill's between several rocks and hard places now: Likud financial support vs. supposedly liberal Dem "principles" and her '12 ambitions vs. driving a stake through Palin's heart NOW and electing Obama. Hill's in exactly the toaster her Clinton amorality and narcissism deserve. Like Bill wrestling with the fallout of Monica, she has no one to blame but herself.

So Palin went from criticizing Sen. Clinton as a whiner in March 2008, to praising her in August 2008, to trampling on her now in September 2008. Palin seems like a a two-faced slithering backstabber.

Women's rights my foot!! If Palin makes it to the white house it's only because she was picked strategically by the GOP with complete disregard to integrity or respect for women to get them to the White House. She's a loose cannon who doesn't even deserve to be compaired to Hillary Clinton, a seasond, educated politition......I gues one could call it a form of nepatism......Pin head Bush Jr. becomes president because of Bush Sr. and Palin becomes VP because of the GOP powers that be. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME........those gutter crawling desperate people that will do anything to get somewhere without regard to anything at all. It truly is a pitty.

Typical for a Democrat to run away from national security issues. Expect nothing less.

Sheesh! Sarah Palin made no criticism of Hillary. In fact, she was careful not to criticize Hillary for backing out of a rally on her home ground in her home state of New York.

The fact is, the Bambis put pressure on Hillary to back out, and she did. This is something she should have gone through with, but now that she pulled out, the Bambis are trying to get Palin disinvited. Palin, however, won't back out. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if McCain showed up, forcing Bambi himself to double down and show up himself.

Watch and see if I'm not correct.

Folks please reread this article. I do not see ANYWHERE where Palin attacks (or even makes a direct reference to) Clinton.

What did Palin say that was critical?? You have to read beyond the headline and the first paragraph. The media strikes again, trying to start a catfight.

"Governor Palin believes that the danger of a nuclear Iran is greater than party or politics. She hopes that all parties can rally together in opposition to this grave threat" That is an insult to Hillary how???? Liberals Grow Up!

Since both Clinton and Palin were invited to the event, Clinton's excuse for dropping out - that it was a "partisan" event - is a lie. Clinton took the first shot by refusing to appear at the event simply because Palin was also present, giving the lie to the Dems' claim to be uniters. Palin simply pointed out that Clinton was acting in a partisan manner, and the biased author of this article spins the whole thing backwards and upside-down. Apparently Palin wasn't "courteous" because she pointed out Clinton's nasty little snub.

It is clear that most of the posters here are among the dumbest people that live
in Dorcester. As for Clinton she married a man that was a good public speaker and a trivia savant. That combination paid off. On her own Hillary is just a walking, bumbling, poll taking, rant.

As for Palin she is the reason that McCain will take everything but, Ma, Or, Ca, Jersey, and DC. Outside of Kool Aid city. aka Beantown people are doing ok could be better. Beantown still needs another Big Dig so they can steal enough to feed the Bulger underground.

I just LOVE reading all the hate filled replies of you DEM/LIBS. It just shows what
an utter world of nonsense you live in,and moreover your complete LACK of intelligence! Keep up the good work!!!!

What a stupid headline. Learn to write, Fool, er, Foon.

Reminds me of the Saturday Night LIve skit where Hillary whined " I thought I would be addressing you alone"

How did she chide Hillary exactly? The headline is deliberately misleading. Grow up.

Hmm, I'm confused - I fail to see where Palin said anything negative towards Clinton? This is just another attempt by the left sided (clearly biased) media to turn people against the Republican party by trying to pass inaccuracy as truth.

Everyone should be thanking their lucky stars that Clinton did not receive the Democratic nomination...today she showed her true colors and her REAL agenda . She doesn't care about this country, woman's rights or anything else that doesn't directly make her out to be a hero.

Go McCain/Palin.

Sounds like whoever scheduled Hillary for this event didn't have the correct information. Nobody is being attacked (sad for the Obamabots because they would pray for such a thing). Gov. Palin didn't call Hillary out or say anything disrespectful to her. Also, Gov. Palin DID put the plane on eBay for auction - twice. Only someone listening to talking points without doing research would call that a lie. Libs just LOVE to hate. It's why they will lose the election (again!). Someday maybe, you Libs will get it that more people in this country are happy with their lives than you, more people in this country are PROUD of this country than you, and not everyone is as miserable as you and not everyone looks to the Hollywood crowd with their hands out begging for money like the Libs. Wake Up!

Hillary will stand up to Ahmadinijad but run away from Sarah Palin?? Are you kidding me?? This was a non-partisan event where Americans would stand together in unity against a terrorist nation.

Note to self...if I am ever in a fire fight and jump into a fox hole and Hillary is there....no matter what the risk, find another fox hole.

The Jewish group had better realize that Hillary is not there for them but for herself. I've always said it, she just wants to become first woman president and then nothing after that. She did show her true colors today.

I'm not a Republican or a Democrat and I'd actually like to see Clinton and Palin put all partisanship aside and stand together to denounce Ahmadinejad. Let the world see that, though we may fight amongst ourselves, we'll rally together against a truly evil guy. Dems and Repubs are adversaries and NOT enemies. If more people would see things that way, we'd be better off.

Fox news trotted over Clinton for not going I wonder how they are going to spin the lifting of Palin's invitation. I kind of wanted to see Palin Heckling outside the U.N. . Some debut that would have been on the world stage.

Go ahead, palin criticize Hillary.

Keep it up, more, now!

Fool!

Posted by marla festenese September 17, 08 10:27 AM Please don't dare to call Hillary out and saying she's not putting the country first, that would be John McCain when he picked Sarah Palin. She doesn't understand the game and trying to write the rules. Her Hannity interview was a lot of words and saying absolutely nothing but contradicting her previous statements. The only thing I can think of when I see her is how she lied about the Bridge to Nowhere and charging rape victims for test kits. Then I think of McCain who has voted several times against Equal pay for equal work for women. If I was Obama I would use her interview in a commercial prior to being McCain's pick when she said she understood his appeal because he represented change and he brought excitement.

The National Jewish Democratic Council called late today for Palin's invitation to be lifted as well.

Bologna! How dare they ask for the current candidate for VP and the next VP of the United States be asked to adjust her plans to do what is right for this country and world peace, be asked to cow-tow to Hillary Clinton? Hillary knows she will pale in comparison and she's still licking her wounds over paling so horribly next to Obama that her ego just couldn't take it! How selfish of Hillary and how selfish and partisan and obnoxious of the National Jewish Dem Council to suggest such a thing!

#89 you imply that Hillary is not really campaigning hard now for Obama like she did during the primaries and that blacks will not vote for her next time if Obama loses. I think she has been doing her best, and after all she is not the VP nominee so why should she act as such? It is Biden's job to hit hard, not Hillary's. Haven't the Clinton's been villified enough by the Obama camp and black folks? They've been branded racists and blacks have voted for Obama 90% of the time, and that one might say is reverse racism. If Clinton were to attack Palin, it may rally white women to vote for one of their own. Anyway its about time blacks stop using the race card.

After reading some of these silly comments, I’d say Hillary made the right choice. The event would have been turned into a media circus, every photographer vying for the “million dollar shot”. The meaning and message of the protest would have been lost on today’s politics.

Hillary doesn’t have to prove herself to the Jewish community. They know her record. Unlike Sarah Palin, at least she has one.

Sarah Palin will do the country proud at this protest. What would the storyline be if Sarah pulled out after learning Hillary was going to be there? It would call her an Anti-semite, hater of religions other than her own, intolerant. Why would the Obama campaign put pressure on a group to uninvite Sarah? He is a scared empty suit who knows he won't win in November. I REALLY can't wait to watch the shows on CSPAN with all these ridiculous groups, wringing their hands and trying to figure out why and where Obama screwed up and lost and how they can do this differently in 2012. There will be the whine sessions, the offers of therapy, the threats to move to another country, I love it all.

Why is that only right wing nuts are stupid enough to type their full names into the comments? I just googled you, Marla. How are things in Prescott, AZ? I just read the minutes of your home owners' association meeting.

Please rest assured that I'm not a homocidal maniac, but someone else could be! So please be careful when commenting online, and do not list your full name, especially when it's a unique one, and even more especially when you're saying stupid, hateful things. Unless you want a spam-carpet-bomb.

This is for all of you idiots calling Hillary a whiner and thinking she cannot handle Palin. Here's news to you Republicans. Hillary saw through that bull****! McCain tried to pull a fast one by having people think Hillary supported Palin by showing up, thereby supporting McCain. I have never seen a more lame attempt to steal Hillary supporters in my life. What a sick campaign McLame is running! A vote for McCain/Palin is a vote for insanity! WAKE UP AMERICA!

OBAMA/OBIDEN 08-16

Hillary needs to really step up to the plate for the Democratic Party and start getting press releases out to inform the public that the only thing she has in common with Palin is that they are both women. It is a sad testament to the US population’s shallow decision making process when a candidate’s gender seems to play this much of a role in who they vote for. We need a democratic win in November. The global financial crises will only be cleaned up by doing so. We are here in this crisis because of Republican policies regarding de-regulation that have proved they do not work. In my opinion, Hillary has a great opportunity at this time to position herself perfectly for the election after this one by doing all she can to get a democrat in the white house. This posturing on the part of the Palin camp is insulting.

I would like to know WHERE Palin is "chiding" Hillary? Hillary is NOT even MENTIONED. What oxymoron WROTE this GARBAGE? This "Foon Rhee" IS AN IDIOT! It's things like this article that make me HATE the liberals. No, "HATE" is too strong of a word, I DETEST the liberals. No wonder our Country is so divided. Foon Rhee CAN KISS MY B..er FOOT!!!

OH PLLLEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEE!!! Hillary out classes Palin by miles! Even as the VP candidate she will forever stand in the shadow of Mrs. Rodham-Clinton. Palin is Republican Garbage!

Palin is Republican garbage!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, What a tangled web we weave when at first we practice to decieve!

Bye, Bye, Palin!
