Too bad you cut off the key paragraph:

No direct threats have been made against anyone, but the foundation says the recent increase in negative rhetoric against the former Alaska governor "raises concern for her safety and the safety of others despite the call for civility in America," following the tragic Tucson shooting.

So ... what are we to make of a situation where an organization cancels for "security reasons," when no actual threats have been made?

Gotta ask: what's really behind this cancellation? Perhaps the reasons stated for this article are just a convenient excuse, to cover for something else. I'm guessing that Ms. Palin's and/or the other speakers' boilerplate contracts contain significant security requirements .... and this group can't afford it.

.
Or even possibly they had been overly optimistic about Palin signing on. A number of orgs here locally have tried to set up Palin events, with no success.

Who has even heard of “The Sharon K Pacheco Foundation?”

The left brownshirts people and you try to turn the tables and make it Palin’s fault? That is disgusting.

If anything look at the date and understand what else is on that date for your answer.
