Local group cancels Palin visit, citing "personal attacks"

[El Supremo]

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.

17. Let me tell you not all morbid obese people are Palin lovers. I hate the bitch and I read allot

and take offense to your comment. I know many obese people who aren't stupid. Hell just look at Palin and Bachmann both skinny women and dumb.

[Richard Steele]

23. Please don't take offense. My EX is one of the largest women I've ever known,

...and I loved every inch of her
for the nine years we were together.

She was no Palin fan, I assure you.

[sufrommich]

3. Yep. Lack of specifics is obvious.

6. from the foundations website

"...He points out that no direct threats have been made against anyone, but 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..."

[sufrommich]

7. Oh, the (fabricated) drama! nt

Postby balanced rock on Today, 4:26 pm

I call BS.
From an earlier Denver Post story about Palin's??? appearance:

"The event time conflicts with the May 2 NBC/Politico Republican Presidential Candidates debate scheduled at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California."

Her staff screwed up.
