Palin cancelled as keynote speaker in Colorado due to "onslaught of personal attacks."

From the Denver Post:

Citing an "onslaught of personal attacks", a Colorado nonprofit today canceled a scheduled May appearance in Glendale by former Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin, according to a press release.

Palin was to be the keynote speaker at the Patriots & Warriors Gala at the Infinity Park Events Center in Glendale.

The event sponsored by the Sharon K. Pacheco Foundation was announced Friday but was canceled today due to "safety concerns resulting from an onslaught of negative feedback received by the organization," the press release said

"Due to an onslaught of personal attacks against Gov. Palin and others associated with her appearance, it is with deep sadness and disappointment that, in the best interest of all, we cancel the event for safety concerns," the release said.

I don't think that "personal attacks" sound like a reason to be have "safety concerns" about this event.

It sounds more along the lines of people saying "I cannot believe you people are so ignorant as to invite Sarah Palin to be your keynote speaker!" or "Sarah Palin?  What, are you a retard?" or "You know I thought you had a half a brain, but if you actually pay that woman to stand in front of you and give one of her hate filled, horribly written speeches you are clearly a moron!"

However if somebody DID direct threats of violence toward the people who are scheduling this event, or to Sarah Palin herself, they should be ashamed of themselves and if discovered dealt with by local law enforcement.  Because that kind of a response to Sarah Palin coming to your town is unacceptable. 

Understandable yes, but still unacceptable.

Update: It looks like nobody REALLY got threatened after all.

According to Fox 31 in Denver:

No direct threats have been made against anyone, but the foundation says the recent increase in negative rhetoric against the former Alaska governor "raises concern for her safety and the safety of others despite the call for civility in America," following the tragic Tucson shooting.

It appears to me that the people of Denver are beginning to realize that Sarah Palin is a key reason for the uptick in violence in this country and they do not want her anywhere near their families and community.

You know what?  We Alaskans felt the same way.  That is why she is no longer our Governor.

    This seems like a sham of an operation as they have no website, only a Facebook presence. Thought they could afford Palin, then found that they couldn't. Not everyone is adept at grifting the public as Palin is. I seriously doubt that this organization has done a single bit of outreach for any wounded soldier or military family. I bet they all thought they were going to get rich off the Palin name.

    I think it is shameful that the organization first announced it was canceling due to an "onslaught of personal attacks."

    Guess everyone who is or wants to be associated with Sarah Palin is into the victim mentality and hyping the situation to maximize their sense of victimhood.

    They need to understand that "negative feedback" is not synonymous with "personal attacks" in the sense of there being a real safety concern.

    If there were real threats, make them known. If it was "negative feedback," why hype it other than to get sympathy.

    I don't know what the Pancheco Foundations raises money for, but honestly, making mountains out of molehills is not going to help their profile any.

    I agree, if someone actually threatened to do something, then law enforcement needs to pursue those threats, but if people are merely registering complaints about Palin or that the organization would bring Palin into the community, then there's nothing they can do --- you know, that special Constitutional free speech and all that Sarah is always blabbering but knows nothing about.

    I agree that progressives rarely resort to violence so I suspect that the negative feedback they got was probably snarky comments or people telling the organization that they didn't want Sarah anywhere near their community.

    The real threat to Sarah should it ever materialize will probably come from one of her disillusioned "fans." You know, the ones whose saliva dribbles down their cheeks whenever they hear her name, who follow her naughty Monkey shoes wherever she goes, and who believe every single word she has ever said.

    When one of those people learn the truth about Sarah, it will be heck to pay because those people don't suffer being proven fools.

    I think that's why Sarah always has such heavy security around her. She's not afraid of liberals; she's afraid of her own followers but tries to use liberals as scapegoats.

    This nonprofit demeans veterans and their nonprofit purpose by using this cancellation as a means to pretend Palin has been victimized.

    No one threatened Palin, therefore there should be no worries about anybody's safety. Really, that's almost a slanderous statement. Palin's speech at the Reagan event was met, by what, 6 measly protesters. Nobody cares enough about this vapid woman to incite violence.

    The incompetent person making these poor decisions, beginning with the Palin choice, just can't bring themselves to admit that they've been getting negative feedback about the Palin pick.

    I can tell you exactly why the rightwingers and their puppet Sarah Palin are trying to drum up some conspiracy theory about "marxists and muslims" behind the riots in Egypt and Tunisia: it's because they want to distract from the fact that food shortages, probably caused by climate change, are why those people are rioting.

    It's been a few years in the making. Check out this article from 2008 that hinted of what could be coming: http://www.usatoday.com/money/world/2008-04-29-egypt-food-shortage_N.htm

They were also hoping to get a couple of rich backers to pony up the cost of Sarah's private jet travel, five star hotel rooms, bendy straws, security force and $100,000. speaking fee, and, again, anyone who saw her recent performance backed out.

All she has to do is Google "Food shortages in Egypt" and she'd learn that Egypt has been about to boil over for close to two years now. 40% of the country live on $2 a day. These people are basically tired of being told to eat cake.

    The rightwingers don't want their sheeple to understand all this, of course. Thus, out comes Sarah Palin to throw more feces around and distract, distract, distract.

    Sarah Palin enrages with fear

    ...Of the many answers offered, Sarah Palin's now infamous crosshairs map has been a target of speculative blame. Were the crosshairs too much? Did they serve as Loughner's guiding light – the Queen of Diamonds in a Manchurian Candidate-style assassination attempt? No.

    ...Perhaps more dangerous than some euphemistic violent imagery, is coupling it with fear. Few things have proven more consistent in history than the triumph of irrational fear over logic.

    Identify a vague and ubiquitous entity. Tell Americans they want to take away our rights, and you'll pique curiosity. Don't explain anything, don't back it up with facts, just give it a spooky nebulous quality. Threats of tyranny and loss of freedom with ideas of violence and revolution create both a problem and a solution – albeit a violent one.

    ...Palin's map was a mere fragment of a larger problem; a splinter off the Trojan Horse that is American conservative punditry; machine that positions itself as the voice of the people while infecting its victims with the idea that this democratically elected administration intends to take away their God-given rights, (those bestowed by their God and no one else's). It has become so efficient that it spawned the Tea Party, a movement that is significantly rooted in unsubstantiated fear and lies, but nevertheless is gaining clout due to this very machine.

    Sarah Palin has played her part, but when set against the backdrop of her peers, she is only one in a sleuth of fear-mongers. Almost nightly, you can see Glenn Beck's obsession with tyranny, as he scrawls incessantly on his chalkboard of oppression; which somehow always manages to have a swastika on it and links George Soros to the devil.

    ...The study, Mobilizing Aggression in Mass Politics, conducted at the University of Michigan, found that while many people are adverse to violent metaphors in politics, there are the trait aggressive – people more likely to engage in aggressive behavior regardless of the situation – who do respond to violent imagery. As one of the few studies of its kind, it cannot be taken as the final word, but it is an important insight to the possible effects a constant smattering of vicious language can have on people.

    After the shooting, much of this par-for-the-course violent hyperbole was criticized. Palin's response to critics was just as expected: a disjointed mess of empty, accusatory statements tied together with phrases like "what the people want" and "greatness of our country." In a single breath, she contradicted herself indicating that her words could not incite violence, but the critique of her words could.

    It was an insight to her vapid irrational thought process. She lacks empathy and does not understand. She makes statements about oppression and taking the country back, but I have to ask, "From what?" This is an elected administration. Who are we taking the country back from? The people? Yes, employ violent means to get your ideological way.

    ...Fear can be a powerful weapon. Like a child with a gun, Palin wields it with reckless abandon, and may never understand the potential consequences of her words or actions. A call to violence is one problem, but by itself will often succumb to reason. If however, those invoking violent rhetoric connect it to fear via stories of tyranny, and declare that they want to take your freedom, and remind you of noble revolutions, there will inevitably be an alarming number of people who will – as the poster goes – become "enraged with fear until they feel justified in their violence."

    Not sure what, if any, accomplishments the group may have, but they do seem to have a website here -
    http://www.wix.com/lpenterprises/skp-foundation

    It seems really odd that they are canceling the entire event,as initially the Foundation indicated there would be other speakers as well as Palin. Now they say they are going to hold the event at some future unspecified date with a different speaker.

    Also there is this on the website:

    Additionally, we must protect the emotional safety of military families. "Military members and their families have been through a lot due to the wars. We have a responsibility to protect their emotional safety just as well," says Founder Leo Pacheco. "And unfortunately, some have overshadowed the purpose of this event by concentrating on their personal hatred of Sarah Palin, which is truly sad."

    What I find sad is that anyone would think that military families, especially those that have lost loved ones, would want to hear the hatred that spews forth out of PALIN'S mouth at every speech she gives. Or that it would be in any way appropriate. Especially since much of her venom is directed at the POTUS -- who is, after all, the Commander in Chief.

Also, they probably just received Sarah's Rock Star List of Demands. I think we are seeing a trend. More and more are seeing that Sarah's not worth the money or the aggravation. I'll also bet that the people at the "young-at-heart" old codgers group she spoke at in Santa Barbara didn't make any money either. Plus, all the Colorado group had to do is see her woeful screech.

    This is why she gets out of CPAC every year. She doesn't want to actually have to speak where others with 99% more brains than her will speak. She would be judged against them. She's a moron who needs a captive audience who have at least paid half the ticket price to hear her heckle from the sidelines. And the rules? Can you imagine this woman with any kind of real power?

    Going back to your quote from RAM ordering the NYT to correct their story, not the first time she has ordered a publication to correct their story.

    It got me thinking. Some of the dynamics of Sarah goes beyond just her perpetual martyrdom, which would soon turn most people off, but RAM and her predecessor defended Sarah instantly, aggressively and offendingly, as does Todd, and her two daughters.

    I'm wondering what kind of personality(s)(her and theirs) are linked that way.
    Most friends will defend a friend but not attack the way RAM does, and most husbands would have told their wives to chill instead of running off and building a 14' fence on the justification of a recognizable lie.

    Educating Sarah Palin is a lost cause. Just like Glenn Beck, she lives in an alternate America. Her speech “honoring” Ronald Reagan was just her latest foray into fantasy land.

    According to half-Governor Palin, America is being ruined by high debt and taxes, government regulation and rising spending. She claimed that the rush towards green energy was undercutting the nation’s oil and natural gas reserves and will cost jobs and drive up prices. In her view, Reagan would have shouted “drill, baby, drill” right besides her.

    Funny, I remember the Reagan years, obviously better than she does. Reagan did lower taxes, AND doubled the national debt, shifted around Federal funding to the point where every state had to raise taxes to compensate and drove us deeper into the arms of OPEC for our oil. His “block granting” to states caused massive cuts in funding for social programs, put the mentally ill on the streets as homeless persons, destroyed subsidies for day care that allowed welfare mothers to find jobs and cut Federal employee benefits to the point where they have worse benefit packages than most states. He forced single-mother veterans to go on welfare if they wanted to attend college by denying them access to Pell grants with their veterans’ benefits. He set out a policy of destroying labor unions that has resulted in the death of the American middle class and setting unions up to take the blame for jobs being sent overseas. He brought this country the idea of “trickle down economics,” an economic policy his own vice-president called voo-doo economics in 1988.

    But, according to Palin, we should be going back to the days of Reagan because he understood small town America and its values. The question is, does she? Wasilla, Alaska, is a four-lane divided highway with big box chain stores on either side. There is a paucity of small businesses left in Wasilla because of those chains. She doesn’t live in what’s left of that small town, but in a large lakeside house whose construction was the subject of one of those ethics investigations she thwarted by quitting the governorship.

    Is it any wonder that Ronald Reagan, Jr., wants this woman to stop invoking his father’s name?

    Palin Says U.S. Not in Step With Reagan Values, but Is She in His Mold?

    ...Stylistically, Palin differs from Reagan, too. Self-deprecating humor, Reagan's stock-in-trade, doesn't seem to come naturally to her -- and the Friday night speech had little of anything resembling Reagan's wit. Her rhetorical hyperbole is not Reaganesque, either. At the Reagan Ranch, she suggested that the Obama administration's skittishness about off-shore oil drilling is not only "dangerous," but "insane" -- a word President Reagan reserved for events such as the suicide attack on the U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon. Moreover, Reagan would never have employed a crude and jargony phrase such as "WTF moments," which Palin did last week.

    I have to wonder if a couple of these last minute cancellations have happened as a result of the organizers realizing that Sarah's fans have a tenancy to show up heavily armed, and what their liability would be if say somebody dropped a large book on the floor and one of the brainless AK-47 packers started blazing away thinking they had heard a shot.

    Even if the building were a no guns allowed building, by the time you put up metal detectors, and hire people to run them and to search purses, and pat people down, and add all the extra security personnel, that Sarah thinks she needs, a big chunk of the money raised would have been used up.

    from NYT column reporting on SP comments to only network (CBN) she addressed, after Reagan 'speech':

    This is a transcript, provided by the network, of Ms. Palin’s response to Mr. Brody’s question about how she believes the president has handled the situation in Egypt:

    “And nobody yet has, nobody yet has explained to the American public what they know, and surely they know more than the rest of us know who it is who will be taking the place of Mubarak and no, not, not real enthused about what it is that that’s being done on a national level and from D.C. in regards to understanding all the situation there in Egypt. And, in these areas that are so volatile right now, because obviously it’s not just Egypt but the other countries too where we are seeing uprisings, we know that now more than ever, we need strength and sound mind there in the White House. We need to know what it is that America stands for so we know who it is that America will stand with. And, we do not have all that information yet.”

Well, if SP is scheduled for something else on the same date (May 2nd, I think), then it becomes more obvious that she is not serious about running for POTUS. BUT that is a problem for Sarah & CO, Grifters INC. because she can't use Feb-May to "fundraise" for her campaign!! Sarah & Co. Grifters INC. has a short shelf life and they need every moment to squeeze the cash out of the poor fools who still believe in SP.

    The event was canceled the day after it was announced at places like Texas4Palin and so on.

    That is not long enough for a lack of ticket sales to cause the cancellation. The organization sponsoring the event may have been the cover for the actual organizer/moneybags behind the quitted speech. Maybe something went wrong between the money parties.

    I suppose a scheduling screwup is possible what with the tight ship that is run there ;-).

    In any case- make up something and BLAME it on someone else. SOP.

    BTW I found the Sharon K Pacheco Foundation listed here on an IRS List of Colorado Tax exempt organizations. See Page 149.
    Its a hint when any organization is on the IRS list of "Exempt Organizations At-Risk of Revocation- Colorado". Which is what that list is.

    Not sure if they've caught back up with the paperwork yet- the various online filings are years out of date and many are missing completely. Both for SKP Foundation and for at least one other connected operation. What is on file seems to make little sense, when looked at in detail, and when compared to typical charitable organizations.

    Sarah Palin demystified by a phrenology chart of her skull

    Dear reader, being the fine and educated citizen that you are, I'm certain you're familiar with the venerable art of phrenology. But just in case — it's a precursor to neurology which posited that mental conditions and characteristics can be diagnosed by the shape of the skull. And it's a great way to make fun of conservative politicians.

    Now, phrenology, of course, is hogwash — claptrap, mumbo jumbo if you will — and utterly discredited by the modern scientific establishment. And that makes it a very fitting treatment for Sarah Palin — enemy number one of science and book-learnin' the world over.

    Ben Greenman, author, New Yorker editor, Nerve interviewee, and apparent phrenology expert applied the archaic art to Sarah Palin's skull. This is what we get:

Because there is not balance in many cases, david, there is not truth coming out of the mainstream media and I know that first hand, I live it everyday. And what would give me great joy is if what would become irrelevant is just the untruthful the misreporting out there. I want the mainstream media, and I’ve said this for a couple of years now, I want to help ‘em. I want. I have a journalism degree, that is what I studied. I understand that this cornerstone of our democracy is a free press, is sound journalism. I want to help them build back their reputation. And allow Americans to be able to trust what it is that they are reporting. We’re so far from being able to trust what so many of the mainstream media personalities, characters, feed the American public that it scares me for our country. What would give me great joy is what would become irrelevant is the misreporting that comes out of the mainstream media."

    If she runs for President, what might she do differently?

    Sarah Palin: "I would continue on the same course of not really caring what other people say about me or worrying about the things that they make up, but having that thick skin and a steel spine, knowing that what is needed in America are those things that Ronald Reagan did espouse and what he lived and not worrying about what the critics are going to say about me or my family or what it is that I stand for because I do believe, David, that there are more commonsense conservative Americans on our side on the issues that we stand for than there are those who oppose the idea of individualism and God given liberty and opportunity to work hard and to progress according to our own work ethic and our own merits.

And nobody yet has, no body yet has explained to the American public what they know, and surely they know more than the rest of us know who it is who will be taking the place of Mubarak and I’m not real enthused about what it is that that’s being done on a national level and from DC in regards to understanding all the situation there in Egypt. And in these areas that are so volatile right now because obviously it’s not just Egypt but the other countries too where we are seeing uprisings, we know that now more than ever, we need strength and sound mind there in the White House. We need to know what it is that America stands for so we know who it is that America will stand with. And we do not have all that information yet."


    "Remember, President Reagan lived that mantra trust but verify. We want to be able to trust those who are screaming for democracy there in Egypt, that it is a true sincere desire for freedoms and the challenge that we have though, is how do we verify what it is that we are being told, what it is that the American public are being fed via media, via the protestors, via the government there in Egypt in order for us to really have some sound information to make wise decisions on what our position is. Trust but verify, and try to understand is what I would hope our leaders are engaged in right now. Who’s going to fill the void? Mubarak, he’s gone, one way or the other you know, he is not going to be the leader of Egypt, that that’s a given, so now the information needs to be gathered and understood as to who it will be that fills now the void in the government. Is it going to be the Muslim Brotherhood? We should not stand for that, or with that or by that. Any radical Islamists, no that is not who we should be supporting and standing by, so we need to find out who was behind all of the turmoil and the revolt and the protests so that good decisions can be made in terms of who we will stand by and support."

    The Pacheco Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing resources to military families and at-risk youth.

    Tax records show the organization has had meager support over the years — raising only $1,000 in 2008 and reporting total assets of $2,204 in 2009.

    Moreover, the organization originally announced the Palin appearance on its Facebook page on Jan. 10 and began selling $185-per-person tickets Jan. 16.

    On Jan. 30 the group offered $15 discounts, and on Wednesday it slashed ticket prices in half before announcing the gala to the news media on Friday.

    The event was to have served both as an awards banquet and a fundraiser, providing financial resources to military families in need and raising money for a grief camp for children who have lost loved ones in combat, according to the original Friday announcement.

    Friday's announcement said the event was to have featured a silent auction, a concert and other speakers to be named later.

    The announcement said Palin would speak to military personnel and thank them for their service.

    Saturday's announcement said the group hopes to host the event at some time in the future but with a different speaker.

  117. The REAL governor of Alaska should really contact the people behind this press release. Sarah is NOT the governor of Alaska. She is the ex-governor. She is the quitter governor and the failed vice-presidential candidate for the GOP.

    ...Palin tries to be a Reagan crusader when she said the "era of big government is here to stay" when speaking at the centennial gala.

    Palin herself brought the era of big government to her hometown of Wasilla, Alaska, and then to the Frontier State itself when she was governor. Politifact reports Wasilla had a long-term debt of only $1.12 million when Palin first took office in 1996. When she left in 2002, Wasilla's long-term debt $22 million. The population increased 13 percent in the same time frame, but spending far outgrew the population trend.
    Alaska also suffered under Palin. In terms of the state's debt as a percentage of GDP, Alaska is now one of the worst in the country at around 20 percent, according to a chart from the American Enterprise Institute. Future shortfalls balloon the debt to around 26 percent thanks to pension fund obligations. Those figures came out in March 2010, less than a year after Palin resigned the governorship.
    The debt Reagan incurred in the federal government was equally appalling. When he won the election in 1980, Reagan inherited a budget deficit of around $75 billion. By 1983 it was over $200 billion before settling to $155 billion in 1988, Reagan's last year in office, according to the Washington Post.
    Palin isn't exactly being Reagan-like when she said the government should spend less money.
    To top it off, Reagan's own children are aghast Palin is using their father's image to further her own agenda. ABC News reports Ron Reagan Jr. called the Palin show "a soap opera." Patti Davis, Reagan's daughter, said "you're kidding me" when she was told the former Alaska governor would speak at her father's ranch.

    Palin even told Joe Biden "There you go again" in a blatant reference to Reagan's offhand comment to Jimmy Carter in a televised debate.

    There have been stories before of organizations getting Sarah to speak and then afterward when one goes to check up on background then the name of such place paying Palin has disappeared.

    It's almost as if a dummy account has been set up to pay her and then whoosh it is gone, gone.


    Strange goings on in la la Palin land.

    Some of you readers have expertise in psychology, what's the deal with Sarah's voluntary slaves.

    As a nurse I'd say it is to "keep the peace"...keep SArah from going into a downward spiral that makes everyone's life a living hell. Just keep placating her and enabling her and she will not decend too deeply into the maelstrom of her severe mental illness(es).

    First, I don't think Sarah has a journalism degree isn't it a communications degree?

    Sarah is fastly becoming the STD-ridden prostitute and even her morst ardent fans are having trouble with the risks involved by being with her.

  125. "No direct threats have been made against anyone, but the foundation says the recent increase in negative rhetoric against the former Alaska governor "raises concern for her safety and the safety of others despite the call for civility in America," following the tragic Tucson shooting."

    If she starts blathering about her first amendment rights being violated by "haters," someone should remind her she can always use some street corner to snarl and spew. I hope that's where she's headed.

    I thinks "negative feedback" is really code words for "slow ticket sales."

    Really, who would want to spend $200 to hear the same recycled crap she spews everywhere else?

    It's a lot cheaper to stay at home and read your own refrigerator magnets and just as enlightening.

    I get a headache when I read the long, disjointed stuff Palin either write or says. It's like a bunch of
    electical devices in a confined
    space all mis-firing at once - bells,
    whistles, buzzers, jangles, you don't know which button to push first -
    you just want the din to stop!! Any minute you expect a nurse to appear & escort her back to her room.

    re: the questions about the psychology of a group that protects its leader in this way:

    cult think. sarah palin is the head of a cult. all you need to know. explains everything, including her astonishing ability to ignore reality, and all her little minions running aggressive interference for her. being isolated within a cult allows all the crazy talk to be reinforced with minimal consequences.

    anybody up for an intervention? heh heh.

    Sarah Palin, you say. Who now?

    Oh yeah, is that the crazy uneducated woman from Alaska that used to give paid speeches to ignorant folk? Yeah, I vaguely remember her, was she the one who talked like she was on speed and her words made no sense.

    Wasn't she also the one who was so jealous of educated Americans. Now that you mention it, I remember her as being spiteful and un-american.


    Wonder where that old mean women went? Her family was all screwed up too, weren't they?

    Dang, that was really a rough time in this country when ignorance was spouted daily on facebook and twitter.

    Glory be, isn't it wonderful that that Palin person is no longer fouling up the clean air in this country? Glad she is gone.
