Sarah Palin shows up uninvited to Biker Rally

[caseagainstfaith]

WASHINGTON — One day after Sarah Palin announced her bus tour, a group sponsoring a Memorial Day weekend event she plans to attend said they never invited her.

"She wasn't invited. We heard yesterday she came out with a press release she was coming to Rolling Thunder," Ted Shpak, national legislative director of Rolling Thunder, told "Andrea Mitchell Reports." Shpak is one of three members of Rolling Thunder's current leadership who says he had no idea Palin was coming until it was posted on her website.

On Thursday, the former governor of Alaska and potential GOP presidential candidate announced her bus tour on her political action committee's website, Sarahpac.com. The tour is to begin in Washington, D.C., where Palin plans to participate in the Sunday motorcycle rally sponsored by Rolling Thunder Inc., a group that raises awareness of prisoners of war and those missing in action.

"She's not invited to speak. We're not endorsing her ... (but) we can't stop her from coming to ride, if she wants to ride," Shpak continued.

You stay Classy Sarah!

Oh, God, she reminds me of one of my classmates. No one likes her, everyone makes fun of her behind her back, she's as phony as a three-dollar bill, and she keeps pushing her way into places no one wants her.

The idea of Sarah Palin speaking speaking about POW's and soldiers who are missing in action just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Palin is like a bad itch that is uncomfortable and hard to get rid of.

Hasn't she thrown her hat into the 2012 ring yet?

She'll ride anything to get elected.

Even if it means being a total jackass about it.

Back in 'Nam when our troops were taken prisoner en mass by the Turkish forces under Emperor Hirohito, they used balloons to signal where they were taken so stealth fighters and Blackhawks could rescue them before Osama Bin Laden got to them first...

If she's going for personal enjoyment, she really shouldn't announce it as part of her tour. If she's going as part of her tour, she really should make sure the organizers want her there.

Well, she seems to have no plans to speak there herself, so she didn't do anything besides compete. I guess she just out it up on her tour so people know where she's going in general.

If she has no official connection to the event, she should make that clear in the announcement.

It's weird that DePaulo didn't inform the rest of the group about her participation if he thought that it would/might be an issue. "On the road" isn't really an excuse in this day and age either. Clearly there is some sort of problem if Shpak is making a point of speaking about it.

We all know it's part of a political move, but the miscommunication within the organization seems to be the center of the issue.
