Here is why the invitation for Sarah Palin to attend an anti-Amadinejad/Iran rally, to have been held today, and sponsored by the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organization, was withdrawn.
The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC), a rancorous, leftist and "partisan" bunch of Jewish Dems, felt that since Hillary Clinton was no longer speaking - that is, no longer speaking ALONE - the event was now a partisan event, and should not go forward. (Mind you, if Hill spoke alone, it would NOT have been partisan.)

WASHINGTON, DC – Marc R. Stanley, Chairman of the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC), released the following statement:
Monday’s protest against Ahmadinejad is too important to be tainted by partisanship. Unfortunately, the campaign of Senator John McCain is much more interested in scoring political points than insuring there is bipartisan solidarity around the anti- Ahmadinejad efforts.
Therefore, we call upon the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations to withdraw the invitation to Governor Sarah Palin and we applaud Senator Hillary Clinton’s decision to not attend the rally after the attendance of Palin was announced.
By withdrawing Palin’s invitation, the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations will be able to return the focus to America’s outrage towards the genocidal musings and nuclear ambitions of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

This is really a case of the pot calling the kettle . . . er, uh . . . partisan!
National Jewish Doofus Club
Partisanship is only acceptable when it is their “part” being represented.
the National Jewish Democrat Committee should be called the Democrat Committee for Jews.
They are democrats first, jews second. But idiots always.
The usual cowards are doing their thing
This is going to pi$$ off the Florida Jewish crowd, badly.
