A foundation hosting a charity gala for military families canceled its plans to feature former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin at the event after "an onslaught of negative feedback" received by the organization.I hate to be critical of this organization, but they blew it. They announced this event with Palin on Friday and canceled it on Saturday when some idiots made threats. The event wasn't until May at which point the crazy lefties would have long forgotten all about it.
The Colorado-based Sharon K Pacheco Foundation, which also support at-risk youth, announced Friday that Palin would be a host at its 2011 Patriots and Warriors Charity Gala. The next day, the foundation announced it canceled Palin's appearance.
"Due to an onslaught of personal attacks against Governor 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 foundation announced on its website. The site still featured a picture of Palin next to the announcement she had been canceled.
Noting "the call for civility in America," following the Jan. 8 Tucson shooting, the group said it "deeply respects" Palin and "appreciates her willingness" to attend, but out of "concern for her safety and the safety of others" changed the event date and speaker.
What they just did was reward the left for their bad behavior and encourage them to do the same thing to Palin and every other conservative at events all over the country. The promoters should have stuck it out. In this day of political vitriol from the left we can't show any weakness or give in to their whining. Most of them don't have the guts to actually try anything - it's all talk.

Yup, big mistake. Too bad. Would have made a good teaching moment: shine a light on the cockroaches and watch them scurry.
Makes you wonder if it was a "setup" to disgrace her, doesn't it?
It does not take much paranoia to see that, I am sorry to report.
