Both Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin specifically mocked Barack's experience as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago more than two decades ago. . . .(Yeah, Chicago's been an exclusive fiefdom of the Democratic Party for 70 years, so they've got plenty of experience with "failed policies.")
Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies. . . .
Community organizing is the foundation of the civil rights movement, the women's suffrage movement, labor rights, and the 40-hour workweek.In other words, to mock "community organizers" is to be a racist, sexist, capitalist stooge who wants children working 60-hour weeks in dangerous coal mines.
Michelle Malkin explains the corruption of ACORN, the "community organizer" group to which the Obama campaign is joined at the hip. The Capital Research Center also has a good report on Obama's career as a "community organizer."
I understand your need to try and defend Palin's comments but what you and some of the others trying to defend her don't understand is that the longer this controversy brews, the more it will seem that Republicans are snobby and out of touch.

ReplyDeletewhat I imagine when I hear someone try to justify the 'community organizer' occupation..
(scene from the movie, 'Office Space')
"the longer this controversy brews, the more it will seem that Republicans are snobby and out of touch." No one who would be offended by this would ever vote Republican; community organizing is a hard-core Leftie pursuit, often linked with voter fraud (see, e.g., ACORN).
ReplyDeleteCommunity organizing, in the Obama/ACORN sense is typical, Leftie condescension to lesser people who, without their magnanimous help, would remain pathetic.
