Anti-Iran Rally: We want Palin!
By Rizzuto

Tue Sep 23, 2008 - The streets of Manhattan turned Red, if only temporarily, at yesterday's anti-Iran rally. This from WCBS-TV in NY:
Politics and diplomacy were not a good mix at Monday's protest rally against Iran at the United Nations.

Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin didn't participate in the "Stop Iran Now" rally and there were a lot of hard feelings about it.

It was a simple sign that read "We Want Sarah. Shame On The Rally Organizer."

Howard Webber from Brooklyn held it.

"As important an event as this is, you needed a unity of Democrats and Republicans to show Ahmadinejad that we're not going to accept a nuclear Iran."

Buddy Macy of Little Fells, N.J., felt much the same way.

"I'm so disappointed, upset," Macy said. "She would have brought 10,000-20,000 more supporters of Israel. People who were curious were stopped because of partisan action."
This is a result of politics getting in the way of what should have been a non-partisan rally against the nuclearization of Iran. When politics is involved, the cause suffers. Whatever you think of her domestic policy stances, Palin would have made a fantastic addition to the lineup of speakers and would have brought attention to the looming threat nuclear Iran poses.
