I find Cheryl Murray's conclusion that I have an "agenda" as illogical and as damaging to me. It is a conclusion based only on my brief comment on facts that can be proven. My conclusion was logical whether right or wrong. My comment though did violate the terms of the site and thus were rightfully removed. Cheryl's last sentence though should be removed from her comment since it also seems to violate the terms of the site. She should also give more details about the event she is commenting on since she seems to know so much about it. Would Riva Sinclair be willing to do a make up speech to the Jewish Republicans she missed speaking to before the election? Would she also publically reject her past comments about Israel and state that Israel has a right to exist?

Mrs. Sinclair actually left to be with her mother, who fell unexpectedly critically ill, the weekend prior. She notified the organizer at that time. It is unfortunate that you feel you must use such a personal event to further your agenda.
