The Speech Palin Never Gave: Ahmadinejad Dreams of Final Solution

By Natasha Mozgovaya, Haaretz Correspondent

In the speech which Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin was to have delivered at a Monday rally protesting the UN appearance of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, she was to have said that the Iranian president "dreams of being an agent in a 'Final Solution' - the elimination of the Jewish people." Her appearance in the rally in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza was cancelled in a flap between protest organizers and Hillary Clinton, who had also been scheduled to speak. Clinton aides were quoted as saying that they had been "blindsided" by the decision to invite Palin, which they called a partisan move. In the ensuing controversy, Clinton withdrew her participation, and Palin's invitation was rescinded. The text of the speech follows: I am honored to be with you and with leaders from across this great country - leaders from different faiths and political parties united in a single voice of outrage. Tomorrow, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will come to New York - to the heart of what he calls the Great Satan - and speak freely in this, a country whose demise he has called for. Ahmadinejad may choose his words carefully, but underneath all of the rhetoric is an agenda that threatens all who seek a safer and freer world. We gather here today to highlight the Iranian dictator's intentions and to call for action to thwart him. He must be stopped. The world must awake to the threat this man poses to all of us. Ahmadinejad denies that the Holocaust ever took place. He dreams of being an agent in a "Final Solution" - the elimination of the Jewish people. He has called Israel a "stinking corpse" that is "on its way to annihilation." Such talk cannot be dismissed as the ravings of a madman -not when Iran just this summer tested long-range Shahab-3 missiles capable of striking Tel Aviv, not when the Iranian nuclear program is nearing completion, and not when Iran sponsors terrorists that threaten and kill innocent people around the world. The Iranian government wants nuclear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency reports that Iran is running at least 3,800 centrifuges and that its uranium enrichment capacity is rapidly improving. According to news reports, U.S. intelligence agencies believe the Iranians may have enough nuclear material to produce a bomb within a year. The world has condemned these activities. The United Nations Security Council has demanded that Iran suspend its illegal nuclear enrichment activities. It has levied three rounds of sanctions. How has Ahmadinejad responded? With the declaration that the "Iranian nation would not retreat one iota" from its nuclear program. So, what should we do about this growing threat? First, we must succeed in Iraq. If we fail there, it will jeopardize the democracy the Iraqis have worked so hard to build, and empower the extremists in neighboring Iran. Iran has armed and trained terrorists who have killed our soldiers in Iraq, and it is Iran that would benefit from an American defeat in Iraq. If we retreat without leaving a stable Iraq, Iran's nuclear ambitions will be bolstered. If Iran acquires nuclear weapons ? they could share them tomorrow with the terrorists they finance, arm, and train today. Iranian nuclear weapons would set off a dangerous regional nuclear arms race that would make all of us less safe. But Iran is not only a regional threat; it threatens the entire world. It is the no. 1 state sponsor of terrorism. It sponsors the world's most vicious terrorist groups, Hamas and Hezbollah. Together, Iran and its terrorists are responsible for the deaths of Americans in Lebanon in the 1980s, in Saudi Arabia in the 1990s, and in Iraq today. They have murdered Iraqis, Lebanese, Palestinians, and other Muslims who have resisted Iran's desire to dominate the region. They have persecuted countless people simply because they are Jewish. Iran is responsible for attacks not only on Israelis, but on Jews living as far away as Argentina. Anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial are part of Iran's official ideology and murder is part of its official policy. Not even Iranian citizens are safe from their government's threat to those who want to live, work, and worship in peace. Politically-motivated abductions, torture, death by stoning, flogging, and amputations are just some of its state-sanctioned punishments. It is said that the measure of a country is the treatment of its most vulnerable citizens. By that standard, the Iranian government is both oppressive and barbaric. Under Ahmadinejad's rule, Iranian women are some of the most vulnerable citizens. If an Iranian woman shows too much hair in public, she risks being beaten or killed. If she walks down a public street in clothing that violates the state dress code, she could be arrested. But in the face of this harsh regime, the Iranian women have shown courage. Despite threats to their lives and their families, Iranian women have sought better treatment through the "One Million Signatures Campaign Demanding Changes to Discriminatory Laws." The authorities have reacted with predictable barbarism. Last year, women's rights activist Delaram Ali was sentenced to 20 lashes and 10 months in prison for committing the crime of "propaganda against the system." After international protests, the judiciary reduced her sentence to "only" 10 lashes and 36 months in prison and then temporarily suspended her sentence. She still faces the threat of imprisonment. Earlier this year, Senator Clinton said that "Iran is seeking nuclear weapons, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is in the forefront of that" effort. Senator Clinton argued that part of our response must include stronger sanctions, including the designation of the IRGC as a terrorist organization. John McCain and I could not agree more. Senator Clinton understands the nature of this threat and what we must do to confront it. This is an issue that should unite all Americans. Iran should not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. Period. And in a single voice, we must be loud enough for the whole world to hear: Stop Iran! Only by working together, across national, religious, and political differences, can we alter this regime's dangerous behavior. Iran has many vulnerabilities, including a regime weakened by sanctions and a population eager to embrace opportunities with the West. We must increase economic pressure to change Iran's behavior. Tomorrow, Ahmadinejad will come to New York. On our soil, he will exercise the right of freedom of speech - a right he denies his own people. He will share his hateful agenda with the world. Our task is to focus the world on what can be done to stop him. We must rally the world to press for truly tough sanctions at the U.N. or with our allies if Iran's allies continue to block action in the U.N. We must start with restrictions on Iran's refined petroleum imports. We must reduce our dependency on foreign oil to weaken Iran's economic influence. We must target the regime's assets abroad; bank accounts, investments, and trading partners. President Ahmadinejad should be held accountable for inciting genocide, a crime under international law. We must sanction Iran's Central Bank and the Revolutionary Guard Corps -which no one should doubt is a terrorist organization. Together, we can stop Iran's nuclear program. Senator McCain has made a solemn commitment that I strongly endorse: Never again will we risk another Holocaust. And this is not a wish, a request, or a plea to Israel's enemies. This is a promise that the United States and Israel will honor, against any enemy who cares to test us. It is John McCain's promise and it is my promise. Thank you.

Verbiage by any candidate for political office is just that hot air until there is a true opportunity to act or not act.   As Jean Paul Sartre the French leftist existential philosopher said, “not to decide (act) is to decide (act).” All Jews in the world and their fellow American citizens be they Jewish or not should now be aware that the Obama presidential campaign has and will always make the decision NOT to stand with Israel and international civility when their path is challenged.
All presidential candidates for the past fifty years have spoken of their support of Israel and their general support for Israel’s security and protection. All have said that they recognize and are mindful of the Holocaust and would not let it happen again. The fact is the only value that really counts is what one actually does, not the hot air and learned proper genuflection that one is proctored as an American political candidate. Action is real words are meaningless.
Everyone should now be aware that when it comes to action Barack Hussein Obama and his Democratic Party minions would not stand up against Islamo-fascists, overseas or in America.
This week the most evil human being on this plant is in New York City. During an opportunity to show him and the world that the United States is united in their opposition to his Holocaust denial, his desire to destroy Israel, his hatred of the Jewish people, and finally his threat to destroy America, the Obama campaign and the Democrats dropped the ball. When called to action only the McCain-Palin campaign responded.
No one called for arresting Ahmadinejad and putting him on trial, although that would be justified. No one called for executing him on the spot, although after the Holocaust that would be justified. No one called for forcing him into a sit down with escaped Iranian gays in the United States, although that would be justified. No one even called for preventing him from landing in New York City and throwing him out of the country, although that would be justified (and probably done if Rudy Giuliani was still Mayor of New York.)
All that was asked is to protest the vile language and action that the Iranian President was planning for the Jews.
Because this demonstration might, and it is only a slight might, end up looking more favorable for the McCain-Palin ticket, the Obama anti-Jewish campaign came out to force the exit of a United States Senator from New York from the demonstration. Senator Hilary Clinton ultimately made the decision to lower herself to the level of Obama and that she will have to live with and face in her future elections. It really shows that she is NOT her own person; she is an Obama puppet now.
The anti-Israel Obama people went even further. The rally organizers had invited the Vice-Presidential candidate and Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin. The Obama Gestapo Democratic squad threatened the organizers with United States IRS investigations if they did not withdraw their invitation to Palin, an elected United States Governor. Under fear of IRS threats, which the Democrats in Congress can more than carry out, the invitation to Palin was withdrawn. The big winner, thanks to Obama, was Ahmadinejad.
DO NOT FORGET, OBAMA’S ONLY CONCERN IS WITH HIMSELF. HIS DECISIONS SHOW HIS WEAKNESS CONCERNING ISRAEL AND HIS SUPPORT OF ISLAMO-FASCISTS.
Obama never volunteered to come to the rally himself, which would have been a real statement to the nation of his commitment.  Obama would rather win an election, than do the right thing for Israel and the Jewish people.  It is even the right thing for America; but Obama does not care.  He and Michelle are owed the Presidency and that is all that matters.
However, remember that is not where his commitment is: Obama wants to be known as the lover of Ahmadinejad. Obama has proven that there are no religious values, at least in the Judeo-Christian sense, guiding him.
McCain and Palin showed where they stood by their actions. Remember Sartre, action is the ONLY thing that matters. (Obama, who studied Sartre, knows this). The hot air that Obama has spewed during private meetings in Hollywood and to so-called Jewish leaders is what is heard in every election cycle from all candidates – and just as meaningless.
McCain and Palin stood with Israel and the Jewish People. No Jewish-American and No Christian-American who supports Israel and the Jewish People should be able to find it in their hearts and souls to vote for Obama.

Chicago thug politics characterizes the Obama campaign coupled with the support of the most perverted segments of the American society. How do we know this? First, we know from Obama’s history during elections. Secondly, and most importantly, because public individuals who “dyingly” support him in a truly “mystical” sense who are thugs and perverts.
The campaigns and elections of Barack Obama were all won through the exegesis of strong arm Chicago politics. This essentially means that you win by cheating and lying not through the conflict of issues. For Obama’s first campaign, he got an incumbent removed from the ballot on a technicality about the petition signatures. During his last campaign, the one for the Senate, Obama destroyed his opponent’s family, specifically the children, by forcing the release of personal confidential California court documents so that his Republican opponent, who was then leading, would have to resign. (They courts ruled them confidential to protect the children and had nothing at all to do with the Senate race.) Always, everyone was afraid of speaking the truth about Obama because of his race.
Now we see the same use of the race card and voter shenanigans by Barack Obama for and by his supporters. The grandfather of them all that recently surfaced was Representative Charles Rangle of NY. Rangle is the most powerful and corrupt member of Congress and an absolute, but lying, supporter of Obama. He is everything Obama admires – a true Chicago politician in New York City. Rangle, very much like Obama, has a full career of scandal, which he always deflects by employing, successfully, the race card.
Beside the Rangle discovery that he “forgot” to report on is taxes $75,000 of rental income from a Dominican luxury rental property, he has “greedily grabbed four rent-stabilized apartments, using a system designed to help less fortunate New Yorkers from getting squeezed out onto the street,” according to the New York Post. No one in America believes that Rangle “forgot” Rather, we all know he was cheating on his taxes. As Chairman of the Congressional tax writing committee, he really is just a plain thief. However, like Obama he is part black so he is excused.
Also like Obama, he is off making money from federally subsidized low-income housing. Is that not the general scheme the Mr. Obama, the Harvard Educated lawyer, pulled with his close friend Mr. Tony Rezco. (If you have forgotten, Rezco is now on his way to jail for these schemes.)
To understand the degree of Rangle’s bigotry in his representation of Obama and their co-joined Chicago type politics one has to look no further then Representative Rangle’s description of the Republican Vice-Presidential candidate “disabled.” Now I am not even going to point the obvious: the fact that this is bigotry against handicapped peopled in general. What it shows is a level of MEANESS and HATRED exemplified by Chicago tribal politics, which is truly, what Obama represents and how he has always run his campaigns. Even his wife Michelle cannot help herself from spewing meanness and hatred first at the United States, which was well documented, and now at Sarah Palin. Michelle Obama could not resist telling supporters not to vote for someone because they are “good looking and cute.” Her audience understood that the reference could only apply to Sarah Palin and to no other candidate. Do you really want the most vicious women in America as your first lady? She makes Hillary Clinton look like a Mary Poppins. Michelle Obama later said she was only speaking about herself. Either this make her into an idiot or she thinks the citizens are idiots. First, Michelle is not a candidate and, second, no one has referred to her as cute.
For the pervert support, Barack Obama needs only turn to his Hollywood support in the guise of Woody Allen. Woody Allen said, "(i)t would be a disgrace and a humiliation if Barack Obama does not win," going further, "(i)t would be a very, very terrible thing for the United States in many, many ways," he said. Woody Allen is the personification of the ultimate perversion: seducing your own adopted daughter. Instead of giving the American public advice, Woody Allen should be locked up for life over his low-life behavior. He is the disgrace and humiliation to the American people. His solicited support of Barack Obama only further indicates how low Senator Obama is willing to go.
Since Obama has not indicated that Woody Allen is the pervert the American public, and his former wife (Mia Farrow), know him to be, one must assume that Obama does not see any problem in being supported by a child seducer.

According to the latest Rasmussen Reports’ poll, 63% of likely voters say Senator McCain is ready to be president.  Only 26% of likely voters think that McCain is not ready to be president -- more on this 26% further down.

On the other hand, only 44% say that Senator Obama is ready to be president, twenty percent less than McCain; while 45% of likely voters say Obama is NOT prepared to be president. Another way of looking at this is that more likely voters in the United States know in their hearts that Obama is not ready to be president and they are willing to tell pollsters so. This “likely voters” cohort is paying more attention to the qualifications of candidates when compared to “register voters” or the American population at large.
 
At least another 10% know in their hearts that Obama is not ready to be president but are unwilling to tell pollsters because of they are concerned with seeming to be “racists.”   This would be consistent with the perception of many Democratic elected officials who have warned Obama’s operatives that because of voters’ unwillingness to express to pollsters their opposition, which could be thought of as “racist,” Obama’s poll numbers are inflated by at least 10%.

At least another 10% of the likely voters are African-Americans who are voting for Obama primarily, if not solely, because of his race without any consideration for his qualifications.  In the normal understanding of the term “racist,” these are the true racists in the current elections. Their only and primary consideration in this election cycle, both during the primary and general election, is the candidate’s race.
That means that at the high end only one out of four voters considers Barack Obama to be truly qualified to be president.  That is less than the 26% who say that his opponent Senator McCain is not qualified.

Let us look at the likely voters’ perception of McCain. If one takes both racism and the individuals, who are afraid to tell the pollsters their true feelings, out of the equation, than one finds that almost no one in America truly believes that McCain is not ready for the job of President.

Ironically, if it were not for race, Obama’s approval to be president would significantly lower than those of Governor Palin. This is further problematic since by now most voters know Obama whereas the introduction to most people to Palin is barely two weeks old.

The likely voters perceive "unqualified" as the major qualification of Senator Obama for president. 

This is the official response of the Obama campaign to the speech Governor Palin gave last night.  It was released by Bill Burton, spokesman for the Obama campain.
"The speech that Gov. Palin gave was well delivered, but it was written by George Bush's speechwriter and sounds exactly like the same divisive, partisan attacks we've heard from George Bush for the last eight years. If Gov. Palin and John McCain want to define "change" as voting with George Bush 90 percent of the time, that's their choice, but we don't think the American people are ready to take a 10 percent chance on change."

I do not know who wrote the speech or who the person had worked for before; but the statement is nonesense.  David Axelord, Obama's campaign manager, was the strategist and spokesman for the Chicago Daly political machine his whole career, (except for when he worked for the terrorist Bill Ayres, the racist Rev. Michael Pfleger, and "I am not proud of America" Michelle Obama).  For Mrs. Obama he designed a program to drive poor black people from the emergency room of the University of Chicago hospital.  How dare Obama sink so low as to complaign about who may have written one speech for the Alaska Governor, when his house is filthy with Daly Chicago Machine hacks.. 
This indicates than Obama is at a dead-end.  When he cannot use race he has nothing.
The 90% voting quote is old.  It is old and at best an intentional lie to mislead.  A lie because even Obama voted 90% of the time with President Bush.  It is the nature of the mundane matters that often get voted on in the Senate.  First, Governor Palin never voted in the Senate -- this may be news to Obama (like there are not 57 states) and the important issue is the 10% that McCain voted against President Bush.
As Mayor Rudy Guilianni said, Obama has Nada.  If he is not spinning a story, no would notice him.

Governor Sarah Palin has now issued a challenge to the Democratic ticket and in the process has taken away the unique factor in their favor: Senator Obama’s race. Obama’s race established the whole ticket’s legitimacy to represent the experiences of the “everyday American.” Yes, McCain is a true war-hero; yes, McCain is a political maverick; but I, as a black man from the south side of Chicago, truly understand what America needs. The Obama ticket had a several advantages before Thursday. They were Obama’s American experience story, his historical nomination, his ability to electrify an audience, and finally the “war” intertwined with the negative perceptions of President Bush.
After Governor Palin’s speech these variables were nullified.  Senator McCain and Governor Palin made the race between them and Obama’s inside the beltway, politics as usual ticket. Governor Palin took away Obama’s race card by making the issue not about his and his charisma but about family and the totality of the familial experience.
Although the Country had “fatigued out” about Obama and his wife’s “experiences,” their Audacity of Hope, the public’s Obama fatigue was not re-focused because a viable alternative had yet to coalesce. The bottom line remains that with all of Obama’s star attraction, celebrity status, and more money than any political candidate has ever had to play with, he was not closing the deal. His standing in the national polls changed little, with or without Hillary before or after being a nominee. This is primarily because Americans were not buying his and his wife’s (the family’s) narrative. (This was solely against Senator McCain. Governor Palin only came on the scene yesterday.)
The majority of Americans recognized that he was an elitist, by training and taste. He and his wife had little value for America or Americans as is established by his “friends” and their own comments. It is obvious from every situation that religion is a convenience of the time for him; not a faith. No one in his family has ever worked for a living; everything was achieved through affirmative action or tax-payer largesse. This was all excused by the media and by the voters psychology because of his race.
In selecting, Senator Biden as his running mate Obama only re-enforced the perception of him as one of the Chicago politics old boy network. He selected the oldest, most liberal, and never having worked person as his running mate. Biden represents neither change nor hope.
Hope and change were Hollywood musical “hooks” for the Obama campaign. Their intent is to catch you psychologically but not really mean anything, like: “rama-lama-ding-dong” or “mama said there will be days like these.”
Governor Palin trumps Obama previous use of race to beat Hillary Clinton and to get this far in the presidential contest. His race, which Obama constantly brought up (both defensively and offensively), is what undermined Hillary’s argument, which used to work for Bill, that “I can feel your pain.” “I am one of you.”   The conditions of poor blacks reminded people of not only America’s guilt; but also that Hillary was now one of the privileged.  She's a former First Lady with a husband who was making millions of dollars.

Obama won because he made guilt and the daily experience of Americans his through the effective use of his race.

Governor Palin said wait a minute, I am not buying this, and I am going to speak the truth. I represent the true working American, (white, black, or Hispanic). My husband and I have really worked for a living to produce and sell. You, Obama with your wife and your running mate have not done a productive days work since you were all 17. My husband and I did it all without affirmative action or living of the taxpayers of this Country. So quit hiding behind your race as an excuse as to how a “community organizer” becomes overnight a presidential candidate.
If you want to talk about the struggling American family, I am it. You and your running mate have never struggled, including the $17,000 per year private secondary school you went to in Hawaii. You can spin a good story of being black in America; but that is all it is a good story. You, in spite of what your Reverent Wright says, do not know the struggles of working Americans because the fact is you and your wife and Senator Biden have only worked for a few years of your life. You then all signed on to the public trough.
Obama, what is it about Senator Biden’s forty years as U.S. Senator, since he was in his late twenties, that you consider work by American (not European) standards? What is it about your wife’s “work” that makes her worth $300,000 per year to the University of Chicago Hospital? Your wife makes more “fake” money each year than my family has had over many years.
If it was not for Obama’s race and his use of that fact to present himself as one with America’s average people, he would not be taken seriously. Now Governor Palin has presented a more compelling story: a real American working person running for a national office and this person is from America’s last frontier. To the majority of the American public, her story rings true on its own merit that “I understand your lives” without being adjudicated through the prism of race.
Obama recognizes that without race he is nothing. Specifically his race got him to become the nominee of the Democratic Party and being nominee of the Democratic Party, Obama himself recognizes is his sole preparation for being president.
During Hurricane Gustav, Anderson Cooper questioned Obama on his response to the argument that Sarah Palin has more experience (as mayor and as governor) than he does. He said Palin's town of Wasilia, Alaska has 50 employees to his campaign’s 2,500 employees. Wasilia’s budget is $12 million while his campaign budget is three times that each month.  Obama ignored the fact that she was governor.
Race is what got Obama here: the guilt and the identification. Now the guilt is over and exposed and the American Family identification is with Governor Palin because her daily life has truly been like ours.
