Organizers of Iran rally threatened with loss of tax-exempt status if they invited Sarah Palin

Topics: Political News and commentaries

As AllahPundit suggests, Fox News and the Journal should be all over this, and judging from the number of Democrats quoted in the piece as being upset about it, there's certainly no shortage of people willing to leak out the names of the culprits. We need to find out who, precisely, decided that inviting a prominent Republican to a nonpartisan rally might warrant a visit from the IRS: CBS 2 HD Has Learned Democrats Threatened To Attack Jewish Groups' Tax Exempt Status Over VP Nominee Invite

Sources tell CBS 2 HD that a decision to disinvite Palin from the high profile rally after Clinton pulled out in a huff came as the result of intense pressure from Democrats.

"This is insulting. This is embarrassing, especially to Gov. Palin, to me and I think it should be to every single New Yorker," Assemblyman Dov Hikind, D-Brooklyn, told CBS 2 HD.

Sources say the axes were out for Palin as soon as Sen. Clinton pulled out because she did not want to attend the same event as the Republican vice presidential candidate...

The groups sponsoring the rally against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaking at the UN were reportedly told, "it could jeopardize their tax exempt status" if they had Palin and not Clinton or Democratic VP candidate Joe Biden on hand...

"It's an absolute shame that this has happened," Hikind said. "To threaten organizations ... to threaten the Conference of Presidents that if you don't withdraw the invitation to Gov. Palin we're going to look into your tax exempt status ... that's McCarthyism."...

"I'm absolutely appalled at the behavior of the Democrats," said Bob Kunst of Defenders.net. "I'm a Democrat and for the first time in my life I'm going to vote Republican. I can't take it anymore."

So, where is Fox News and CNN on this; as form the rest of the three letter media, they're a completely hopeless cause when it comes to reporting the truth about the Democrats.

And indeed, as AllahPundit suggests in his piece, Obama's supporters are obviously doing what he told they to do: "Obama exhorts supporters to "get in their face""
