BLAINE, Minnesota (CNN) — Sarah Palin made her first public comments about Iran on Friday, accusing “Democrat partisans” of disrupting her planned appearance at a stop-Iran rally in New York next week.

On learning earlier this week that Palin might attend the rally, Hillary Clinton pulled out of the event, which was organized by a coalition of Jewish groups, earlier this week. Palin then had her invitation revoked by the group for fear that she might overshadow the rally.

“You may have heard also that I had planned to speak out on the threat post by Iran and speak in New York,” she told at a large audience in Minnesota. “I was scheduled to appear at a rally with Sen. Clinton, whose commitment to this I appreciate. This is a critical issue, and it should be an issue that unites all Americans. Iran should not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, period.”

“Unfortunately, though, some Democrat partisans put politics first, and now no elected official will be able to appear at that stop Iran rally.”

Palin said “Iran’s pursuit of these weapons should concern all Americans.”

“This is not a matter for partisan politics,” she said.

The vice presidential candidate said she and McCain “will not waver in our commitment” to drawing attention to the dangers of Iran’s nuclear program.

“I will continue to call for sustained action to prevent Iranian President Ahmadinejad from getting these weapons that he wants for a second Holocaust,” Palin said.

and i think confronting the Iranian psycho by both parties would have sent Ahmadinejad a message.

Better yet, Joe should have went instead of Hill.

Instead the psycho 'pushed us around.'

This in the long run was to be used to lend Palin credibility.

but Ahmadinejad one that round.

would have said the same. She was very forceful the day after the primaries in her speech to these Jewish groups (against Iran)--as was Obama when he spoke that same day.

What the hell is a "Democrat partisan"? :wtf:

I suppose she can see Eye-ran from the First Dude's fishing boat too! :rofl:

The whole thing backfired in her face and it will be interesting to see if McPalin goes through with disrupting the U.N. General Assembly opening by actually showing up (because it would mean having both Shrub and McPalin in the same room together)!

why is she bringing up the word holocaust?

what a total moron.

she needs at least 20 more years of "readiness" before that pig is cooked.

And that includes anyone who wants some other fucking country to attack them first, to make the excuse for "us" to get involved. Iran is no threat to the USA. Iran is no threat to Israel. PNAC/Likud are the greatest threat to everyone, and these traitors need to shut the fuck up.

by the Clintons.

Hillary was right to stay away from this event. S W Palin isn't even in the same ballpark as Hillary.


Sarah W. Palin... we need to emphasize the "W"...

Iran doesn't think there was a "first Holocaust."

Hit the books, Sarah!
