This reminded me of the SNL skit. Clinton didn't know that Palin was going to be there and learned about it from reporters:
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has canceled an appearance at a New York rally next week after organizers blindsided her by inviting Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, aides to the senator said Tuesday.I think it was a mistake for her to cancel, it would have been the media event of the day. Wall to wall coverage leading up to the event and then wall to wall analysis afterward.Several American Jewish groups plan a major rally outside the United Nations on Sept. 22 to protest against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Not surprised at all. Darkness can't stand the exposure light brings. Democrats and the left constantly preach tolerance and diversity, except when it comes to conservatives and what we believe. We cannot allow our country to be enveloped in the darkness of the left. We need to fight and shine our light brighter than ever!

Um, I think you mean "appearance."
Another child Left Behind.
Republicans aren't used to someone who is really smart.
The rally organizers insist they told Clinton of the Palin invitation. They wanted it to be bipartisan, which apparently was unacceptable to Clinton.
Of course, I think it's sad that leaders of both parties have been eager to jump on the bandwagon of opposition to diplomacy. Both parties are so controlled by the military-industrial complex that I think it more accurate to call them two wings of one Establishment Party. The U.S. has the outward trappings of democracy, but effectively prevents any real opposition view from having a chance. The parties have conspired together to devote massive resources to current and future wars for many decades, while surveys show majorities of members of both parties believe we should cut the military budget substantially. Note the almost identical positions of McCain and Obama on increasing the military budget and the size of the armed forces. Why no real choice on so vital an issue?
What happened to the smartest woman in the world?
