Explaining the “community organizer” joke to the outraged Left
One of the best moments of Wednesday’s GOP convention — and there were many — was Rudy Giuliani’s jab at Barack Obama’s days as a “community organizer.” The follow-up from Gov. Sarah Palin was icing on the cake.
On cue, Team Obama and its satellites in the blogosphere reacted with ginned-up outrage. The Obama camp sent not one, but two, missives to its worshipers claiming grave offense and asking for donations to help fight the meanie Republicans. Kos posted an e-mailing likening Obama to the community organizer Jesus and Palin to Pontius Pilate. And the Atlantic suggested it was…RACIST!
My second syndicated column of the week patiently explains the joke the Left doesn’t seem to get. Adding to the punchline: After I filed my column yesterday afternoon, ACORN issued a press release condemning the “condescending attacks” on all the good-hearted community organizers like them.
Laughing out loud.
(**Check this out: Obama’s leftist claptrap on community organizing.**)
Plus: Hey, guess who else was a “community organizer?” And guess who wasn’t so fond of community organizing after all?
One more great satire you must read: Iowahawk.

Why Obama’s “community organizer” days are a joke
by Michelle Malkin
Creators Syndicate
Copyright 2008
Rudy Giuliani had me in stitches during his red-meat keynote address at the GOP convention. I laughed out loud when Giuliani laughed out loud while noting Barack Obama’s deep experience as a “community organizer.” I laughed again when VP nominee and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin cracked: “I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a “community organizer,” except that you have actual responsibilities.”
Team Obama was not amused. (Neither were the snarky left-wingers on cable TV who are now allergic to sarcasm.) They don’t get why we snicker when Obama dons his Community Organizer cape. Apparently, the jibes rendered Obama’s advisers sleepless. In a crack-of-dawn e-mail to Obama’s followers hours after Giuliani and Palin spoke, campaign manager David Plouffe attempted to gin up faux outrage (and, more importantly, donations) by claiming grave offense on the part of community organizers everywhere. Fumed Plouffe:
“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, where he worked with people who had lost jobs and been left behind when the local steel plants closed. Let’s clarify something for them right now. Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies.”
Let me clarify something. Nobody is mocking community organizers in church basements and community centers across the country working to improve their neighbors’ lives. What deserves ridicule is the notion that Barack Obama’s brief stint as a South Side rabble-rouser for tax-subsidized, partisan non-profits qualifies as executive experience you can believe in.
What deserves derision is “community organizing” that relies of a community of homeless people and ex-cons to organize for the purpose of registering dead people and shaking down corporations and using the race card as a bludgeon.
As I’ve reported previously, Obama’s community organizing days revolved around training grievance-mongers from the far left group ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). The ACORN mob is infamous for its bully tactics (which they dub “direct actions”); Obama supporters have recounted his role in organizing an ambush of a government planning meeting on a landfill project opposed by Chicago minority lobbies.
With benefactors like Obama in office, ACORN has milked nearly four decades of government subsidies to prop up chapters that promote the welfare state, undermine the free market, and perpetuate illegal immigration and voter fraud. Since I last detailed ACORN’s illicit activities in this column in June (see “The ACORN Obama knows,” June 19, 2008), the group continues to garner scrutiny of law enforcement:
Last week, Milwaukee’s top election official announced plans to seek criminal investigations of 37 ACORN employees accused of offering gifts to sign up voters (including pre-paid gas cards and restaurant cards) or falsifying driver’s license numbers, Social Security numbers or other information on voter registration cards.
Last month, a New Mexico TV station reported on child rapists, drug offenders, and forgery convicts on ACORN’s payroll. In July, Pennsylvania investigators asked the public for help in locating a fugitive named Luis R. Torres-Serrano, who is accused “of submitting more than 100 fraudulent voter registration forms he collected on behalf of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now to county election officials.” Also in July, a massive, nearly-$1 million embezzlement scheme by top ACORN officials was exposed.
ACORN’s political arm endorsed Obama in February and has ramped up efforts to sign up voters across the country. In the meantime, completely ignored by the mainstream commentariat and clean-election crusaders, the Obama campaign admitted failing to report $800,000 in campaign payments to ACORN. They were disguised as payments to a front group called “Citizen Services, Inc.” for “advance work.”
Jim Terry, an official from the Consumer Rights League, a watchdog group that monitors ACORN, noted: “ACORN has a long and sordid history of employing convoluted Enron-style accounting to illegally use taxpayer funds for their own political gain. Now it looks like ACORN is using the same type of convoluted accounting scheme for Obama’s political gain.” With a wave of his magic wand, Obama changed his FEC forms to change the “advance work” to “get-out-the-vote” work.
Now, don’t you dare challenge his commitment to following tax and election laws. And don’t you even think of entertaining the possibility that The One exploited a non-profit supposedly focused on helping low-income people for political gain.
He was just “organizing” his “community.” Guffaw.

The article you posted DOES NOT STATE that wasilla is the meth capital of alaska, it says mat-su is. Mat-su is a huge area. The article was written in wassila ABOUT mat-su so, try again or stop spreading lies.
Haha, I’m saving this comment forever. It’s hilarious.
You call me a Nazi who wants to impose socialism on the US? Do you even understand what socialism or Nazism is? Do you understand that being a socialist Nazi is an oxymoron? Do you?
LOL.
Thats funny coming from the party that thinks Palins hair style and her kids sex life is a campaign issue.
Nazi is short for National Socialist German Workers’ Party
I’m just a dumb cracker from Texas, and I am throughly confused….is Obama running against Sarah Palin or John McCain? Should I be comparing McCain to Biden then? Gosh I just can’t keep this straight!! /sarc off
“Oh this old chestnut. Are you just pretending that reality doesn’t exist? Are you just pretending that newscasters didn’t claim to be “McCain’s base”? Are you pretending that the media hasn’t given McCain a free ride and let him off on all the outrageous gaffes he made during his campaign?
The media may like Obama, but they love McCain a lot also. Stop pretending like that isn’t true.”
Get off of the meth.
Again with the absurd lies and gross misinformation. Do you theocrats ever tire of it?
When has a Democratic official ever made Palin’s hairstyle or her child’s sex life a campaign issue?
If I recall correctly, both Michelle and Barack have stated, unequivocally, that Palin’s family matters have nothing to do with this election. What more do you want from them?
old_texan: Apparantly Palin is going to be president, not McCain.
Here is the difference between you and me. I admit it. I LOVED Richard Nixon. However, on August 7, 1974, the night before Nixon resigned, I sat with a group of fellow officers and we agreed that if we received what we perceived to be an illegal order from Nixon we would not follow it, because of what had come to light about him. Frankly, if that were an Obama, all evidence indicates you would follow the order, however illegal it might be.
I gave you an editorial from Investors Business Daily, hardly a political periodical, about Public Allies and the Obamas involvement. You had no comment.
Yes, I support conservative values, but I do not blindly follow anyone. I may be a moron, but I am a principled one and I am intellectually honest.
I challenged you with the Public Allies article and asked you to compare the Salvation Army and ACORN. You ducked both issues. Continue your blind support of anyone, just because they have the label of your choice at your own peril.
Sure, nudge nudge, wink wink. Not buying it.
Wash off the patchouli oil and get a job ya moron.
Then that’s your problem. There’s nothing more the Obamas can reasonably do to insist that the Palin family is off limits. If you want to sulk about it, go ahead.
To paraphrase Shakepseare, it depends on where elitism is bred – in the heart or in the head – and with Obama, we know it is in his heart, thus his propensity to criticize middle America when thinks they aren’t listening.
He holds himself above the rest of us in his heart.
And this is not because of what he has been able to acquire in his life in the way of material possessions, but because he believes his values and ideals are better than those of working class Americans. Deny it all you want, but Obama is an elitist, not just because of his tastes, but because of his thinking and deeds.
I believe he means fascistic central control. Fascism has a wide definition.
Oh please, stop the dramatics. Obama had to make that speech. So he did. And nothing changed, exactly as he wanted.
It just amuses me when socialists say this when the word socialist is right tin the nazi full name. But I agree. I like to call it not left or right wing but a third dictator wing.
Oh, I see. You’re relying on one single sentence Obama said. Just like Malkin clings to the “abortion punishment” sentence he spoke. Is your case against Obama so weak that you can only rely on single sentences as a way to back up your arguments?
That “bitter” comment was largely true. Many Americans in rural areas do cling to their guns and religion. That’s why life is hell for gay people in those areas. That’s why most young people can’t wait to grow up and get out of there.
Yeah how dare a Senator who was a war hero and married a woman who’s family was successful through hard work put down a Guy who got his million dollar home via a shady deal with a chicago insider who is now facing jail time for corruption!
This is comical. Michelle O says Palin’s family is off limits on the Ellen show????
Sorry, but not good enough.
How about putting something on the campaign website, or during her speeches and issuing a press release over the wires to the mainstream media? They are both very media savvy people.
To categorical denounce the BHO backers/donors who are the ones making such claims BY NAME OR GROUP and demand that they apologize. A good example is that Us magazine cover. How long will we have to wait for BHO to demand Jann Wenner put an full apology on the front cover of the next issue? He donated ~$5000 to BHO so did that buy him license to infer outright LIES on a nationally circulated publication?
What would happen if the Washington Times front page headline tomorrow reads: “OBAMA DENIES SUPPORTING SECRET LOVECHILD” I’m fairly certain we’d hear more from McCain than just, ” …Obama’s family matters have nothing to do with this election.”
Actually… you sure you want to say that?
The idea that Hitler was a rightist is one of the biggest lies of the 20th century.
No he didn’t. McCain never said Obama’s family was off limits, even while pathetic theocrats ripped her character to shreds. Obama did not have to make that speech, but he did it anyway. That was commendable.
So you even get the irony of calling someone out on absurd lies and gross misinformation by labeling the other side as “Theocrats” ?
Practice what you preach.
Still haven’t seen anything that says wasillia is the meth capital of alaska from anything but the liberal blogs. Lokking at to bemusedlib and omu. This so far is just another left wing lie.
Not sure, why don’t you ask the 50 million people who have been liberated under his watch…
Idiot
That’s jut ridiculous. It is not up to the Obamas to take responsibility for everything each of their high profile campaign donors say or suggest. Do you honestly expect Michelle and Barack to make protecting Palin’s private life a central tenet of their campaign?
C’mon, theocrats, THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE SAYING for crying out loud.
omu, how exactly do you know i am a theocrat? If so what religon do I follow? What changes would I make in the country if I were president?
Why don’t you ask the thousands upon thousands of American and Arab families who’ve lost family members because of Bush?
Do you really think the utter chaos, wanton violence and being on the verge of a civil war in Iraq is “liberation”? Wow, you theocrats really do need a reality check.
how pathetically stupid are you? oh yeah you’re a liberal! a nazi IS A SOCIALIST I mean duhhhhhh nazi: national SOCIALIST german workers party….
and you think nazis are ‘right wing’ laughable!!
On September 5th, 2008 at 11:15 am, OMU propagandized:
You never responded to my post about “experience”, hive-mind. Let me re-iterate:
Here’s a quote from the Investor’s Business Daily:
Obama has plenty of experience at promoting collectivism over individual freedom.
He is pure unadulterated evil.
And for my final point, I am an agnostic / atheist, not a theocrat.
Stick that in your pipe and suck on it.
Show where one person on the right attacked Obama’s children ? Show where a McCain bundler tried to disrupt Obama’s speech in Denver like Obama Code pinker did in St Paul ?
Everything the right has brought up about barry is legit. Did he get special treatment in the Chicago machine politics, Did he go to a racist and american hating church, Early on in his campaign Obama TOUTED his muslim background in Indonesia as his “Comnnection to more than one culture” now he pretends it never existed. Obama has run on his judgement. The same judgement that shows his sole and primary ability is simply speech making.
I am very sure they are pissed at the islamics that killed thier family members. You did know most of the deaths were not caused by americans right?
Because you agree with everything Michelle Malkin writes. And that means that if you had you’re way, America would be under the control of pastors and priests (not that it already isn’t, under the Bush administration), a woman’s right to choose would be gone, gays would be executed or interned, other religions would be outlawed, poor people would be spat on etc., etc. That, sir, make you a theocrat.
And I know you’re Christian, because no member of any other religion would ever back Malkin’ twisted and largely disgusting world view.
you’re the bitter one around here…ie a typical lib. you’re bitter because people won’t bow before your god, the government. and where do you get your stats that *most* young people are gay?
life is hell for gay people because actions bring consequences.
wackos like you cling to darwin and government.
And what evidence is that — that I support his candidacy? You’ve started to believe your own BS, always a bad mistake. I respect your decision. I would mmake the same one.
I’m not a huge fan of Acorn, despite the fact that they get right-winger’s knickers in a twist. I don’t know enough about either Acorn or the SA to do a compare and contrast — neither are very active around my parts. I generally support Acorns goals and methods, I don’t support the organization itself for the reasons you and many others have helpfully pointed out.
That Investor’s Business Daily article was sop full of bluster and logical leaps that it sounded like a drunk raving at the corner bar (call the Salvation Army!)
I’m not sure what I’m supposed to get out of it — that Obama likes national service? That he finds a culture committed heedless acquisition unpleasant (as Jesus did)? One can be against the “money culture” — which is flashy greed — and still support capitalism. They are two different things.
Look — this is all a fairly transparent effort by conservatives to make Obama play the game by your rules. He’s not doing it. He’s real stuff to talk about, and no candidate has the time to police every single donor, supporter and media outlet. This is simply a cynical ploy to push Obama off his game — you’re keeping this alive on purpose. You’re not offended, you’re gleeful.
you’re an idiot as well as a liar. this country is as free as it is because of christians.
we’ve seen when people like you (socialist atheists) get power…stalin, mao, pol pot, hitler.
they’re your kind of leader….
No I don’t. For example I disagree with her idea of boycotting US magazine.
No I wouldn’t
Now who is being paranoid.
I support choice, with some changes.
Ah no.
Why would I outlaw my own religon?
No.
It might if any of it were true, HINT, I am not a christian.
Wrong again.
If your understanding of Nazism only goes as far as what the word stands are, then I think you need a history lesson. Hitler abhorred socialism and that’s why he hated Russia so much.
Nazis were right wing. Sorry to brake it to you.
so why doesn’t your messiah, the great and holy community organizer, take care of the least among us…like his brother, with his own money?
he wants our money to feel compassionate, too bad he won’t use his own to even take care of his brother…but thats the kind of hypocrites you lefties are.
And what you conveintly forget to mention is that most of them died at the hands of radical jihadists who blow up car bombs in crowded streets or beheads those that they capture.
But in ytour sick twisted mind its all GW’s fault
You forgive murderers and blame defenders. And you attempt to destroy fellow americans who are trying to defend you (Haditha anyone ?) and rush to defend terrorists who wouldnt blink an eye to slaughter you and anyone you love ?
You have a lot of nerve to launch your faux outrage when you and your terrorist loving “Community organizers” like the ACLU defend our worst enemies.
Its all about your love for your precious “Social programs” that leave people trapped in poverty so the democratic party can stay in power by getting people addicted like a drug to government programs. Hey dont vote democrat you get you crack shut off and go into withdrawl.
I want a country where people can get OUT of poverty not a country where people are condemed to it so an elitist class of rich white males like Kennedy and Kerry can tell me how much welfare they can give me.
Socialism is totalitarianism (ie a dictatorship). Go look it up.
Sounds like Howard Dean is trolling here again.
You truly are an idiot. Since you have absolutely not a single ethical bone in our body, let me spell it out for you.
This is the difference between taking the high road and taking the low road: The Obamas have obviously decided that all this trashing of Palin (in their eyes only) is only going to help them. Hence, the lack of action on their part to take the high road and tell the nation that this isn’t the kind of campaign they would like to run, nor is it the type they condone.
Unfortunately, for the majority of the country who doesn’t think like you or the unethical Obamas — win at any cost by any means necessary — it’s going to backfire on them.
Don’t you have a community to organize or something?
Not true. The reason America is not as a free as it should be is exactly because of Christians.
Hitler was a Catholic fascist. He wasn’t a socialist.
In any case, none of those leaderships can be called “atheistic”. Sure, they got rid of typical religion but they replaced it with another kind of religion – reverence and fear of the government. Mao, Pol Pot and Stalin were all worshipped as living Gods. So to claim that the absence of religion is one of the reasons these men did bad things is utterly incorrect, because it was exactly because of religion that they got away with it.
they’re your kind of leader….
Please go back and try to graduate high school.
The hive-mind, operating through the poster known as
OMU
must be too scared to respond to post #224.
you ’sir’ are an idiot. yeah he used the term ’socialist’ because he was part of the vast right wing conspiracy and he wanted to discredit socialism….he was really part of a jewish plot!! laughable
Wrong again. Willow and areas north and west of Willow are the “meth capital.” Those are far outside the confines of the borders of Wasilla. I’ve lived there, have you?
Omu: I’m interested to know just what freedom you think you are lacking in this country, especially with regard to the Chritsian theocracy that is oppressing you?
ND welcomes you back. It’ll be good not to be alone here in ND.
We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions.
Adolph Hitler
Omu: Would you like yo define the word ‘theocrats” and apply to all of your post. It doesn’t make sense.
Geeeess
Good good in the community Obama!
It’s only selfish people like you who would see promotion of collectivism (working together for a greater good, helping those that are less fortunate, etc.) as an infringement on individual freedom and, bizarrely, as “pure evil”.
How’s that for a reply?
It’s a reply. It makes no sence, but it’s a reply.
The “Theocrat” buzzword is nothing more than christian hatrid. Funny considering Obama himself has no problem extolling his chrisitian beliefs
Guess that makes him a theocrat ?
ACORN
Aliens, Cadavers, Offenders, Rodents and Nine-year-olds
Obviously I’m not being totally serious with the use of that word. I’ll stop if it’s getting too annoying.
I was kind of poking fun at the utter train wreck that is Mitt Romney, using the word “liberal” as a pejorative at random times.
Actualy Hitler hated them because of thier race, and because they were marxist. READ HISTORY!!!

Hive-mind presents opinion as fact: namely that America is not as free as it should be, and that Christians are to blame. There is no citing of freedoms we do not have, no examples of what could be in a utopian non-Christian world.
Good job, hive-mind.
Hive-mind again clouds. Hitler was a industrial-age pagan “Aryan” occultist. Have you never watched the History Channel? They also had many run-ins with the Catholic Church, which helped many jews escape the holocast (when the Church could get over its anti-semitism long enough to engineer it).
And Nazi was an acronym for german socialist worker’s party.
Why does hive-mind so desperately want us to think that Hitler was right wing?
Poor hive-mind. So befuddled by an anti-collectivist agnostic / atheist.
Perhaps you should be chanting bromides on the street corner, hive-mind.
Chant hive-mind, chant!
thats the alice-in-wonderland version of collectivism…whats its really about is enslaving people under the whims of a socialist dictator, usually accompanied by slave labor camps, mass murder, loss of individual liberty, and all the other ‘benefits’ of socialism, like a lack of toilet paper, as was common in the soviet union, your paradise.
Obamas numbers keep on dropping.

Yay! I have attracted the attention of the multi-headed hydra that is hive mind.
I have no issues with people working working together for a greater good, or helping those that are less fortunate.

It is evil.

Single sentences (slip ups) that define the underlying thought process are quite revealing.
To steal from my post on another blog, I think I can sum up Omu as such, with his ‘if you had your way posts’
Difference being, when I put the dice away from my D&D game, I understand what reality is. Omu, not so much.
think hard Omu…sound familiar. It should. Think of the profit of ‘global warming’, Al Snore, the savior Blo-bama.
Haha, there sure is some comedy gold in this thread.
Michelle Obama mildly suggesting that Americans ought to choose service to community over corporate careers is akin to “the State – through force of arms – forces the individual to do so”. Are you for real?
I think conservatives are living some alternate reality? Because I honestly think of no other reason why so many conservatives flat out refuse to acknowledge reality.
You mean like the left does with “Neocon” ?
No. It just means I can’t do 3 things at once.
Forgot to proof it before I sent it.
faster than Bill Clintons pants.
Actualy they are already planning for a civilian force bigger than the army to do something like this.
Exactly like she did. Oh wait…
Did you hear a single Democrat use that term in Denver? I rest my case.
Look the key difference between Nazism and Communism is focus
Nazism was NATIONAL SOCIALISM. It was based on the belief that socalism was linked to the Nation state. Hence it was the GERMAN WORKERS party.
Communism is international. It believes that communism isnt based on nation states but that all the people should be united under one banner of socialism. Hence you can see Communist china and Communist Russia and Communist North Korea work together to spead international communism
Hitler veiwed that as a threat to national socialism. And the communists veiws the nation state as threat to socalism. Hence their complete hostility to each other. They mostly have the same goals but achive it through different means.
BTW if I was Kos Id lay off the historical veiw of “Community organizers” Stalin and Hitler were community organizers also.
there sure is!! your posts are a hoot! but its so typical of democRATs…lack of education, spewing talking points, unable to respond to any points.
laughable!
Flinchy is a narcissistic, but self-loathing, know nothing who has not paid any dues. He reminds me of the graduate student applying for jobs out of his league, experience and pay grade by using experience in student government as a substitute for slogging through the ranks of his field and rising on the merits of evaluated performance.
THAT is why he holds the middle class in disdain- because he has not paid the same dues that many of us have paid in order to either solidify our standing within said class or to move higher into the next.
Flinchy has created not one thing of value in his “public life”. He is a wannabe who is reading his press clippings. Has he ever said publically: “I know you, my flock, have heard concerns about my lack of *qualified* executive experience; and, you have heard that said lack is a concern because i want to lead the greatest nation on earth- which means, command its military assets in time of great crises, and direct our government.”
Has Flinchy raised the issue with any substance? Why is he not talking to US, those he needs to succeed in his quest to be elected? Both parties need more than their own bases to get elected. What has he done to show that he even understands that basic premise of electoral politics in this Great Nation? Nothing.
What Flinchy has done is use his propagandists to teflon coat him, so that he isn’t dragged down by popular opinion. And he has used those same propagandists to attempt a tear-down of a woman who is quite literally above reproach politically.
He should take a lesson from Ronald Reagan when he ran for his first and second terms: he was portrayed by the Left as the oldest living fascist since Franco died. And they could not have been more wrong. Reagan ate negative poll ratings for breakfast– as has Dubya. Damn the torpedos…full speed ahead.
Is Flinchy behaving like the brilliant strategist who will lead the world in foreign policy? Is this the savvy of a “community organizer” who will shepherd domestic policy into the next two decades of our nations life?
Or is he simply using Nazi party film propaganda to show off his strident, shirt-sleeve stride walking toward a podium to address union audiences. Good Lord.
Flinchy needs to go back to school somewhere on the block and find out what being for the people means. He is the parody of the “out of touch politicians” he derides.
While he was flatulating over in EuroLand, doing his level best to imitate a Dead Kennedy, McCain was in the midwest (I could be wrong) articulating what he stands for relative to the concerns of the voters he was in front of. Flinchy now has the tiny dingles and faux audaciousness to say that the Pubbies and McCain have not articulated any policies about what they would do to change the course of the country.
Got three words for ya, Flinchy Boy- DRILL. DRILL. DRILL. If you had any comprehension of the economy and the central problems it faces, beyond the 7th grade, you would know that this is the policy that is going to kick your closeted-moslem butt back to the Rezko-financed home you will be glad u still have after this campaign ends with your humiliating defeat.
Have fun living on the rubber chicken dinner DNC fundraising circuit for the rest of your life.
Bear1909out
You are kidding right? Seriously? WOW
If I had the time I would track down all the different times that various DNC bigwigs have used this term. You might pretend it isnt used in Liberal circles but then I dont expect honesty from you.
Sad thing about morons like you is that you are probably some ignorant white male/female apologist. Happy that a black man could be president. (BTW, he is half Arab, half white)Further, you are an idiot! The dems have been enslaving blacks since the 60’s and you’re too stupid to understand the consequences this has caused to our country and the black community! Groups like ACORN should be prosecuted out of existense much like the lawsuits that sent the KKK into submission…..you brain dead libtard!
much further back than that!! the democRATS are the party of slavery, jim crow, the KKK…you can still see them in the grand old ‘wizard’ of the democrats senator Byrd…
No, tell us how you really feel, don’t hold back like this, its not good for you!!!
collectivism??! Oh, that’s right—that’s when someone tells us to all grow potatoes and everyone will get some.
Except, the glorious leader & his cohorts get 10, and the ones who didn’t do any digging get the same amount of potatoes (just 2)as the ones who do all the digging.
So tell me, since I’m the one doing all the digging, how is this for my good?
For some historical reference…which I’m sure a lot of Dems fail to acknowledge or set the record straight:
Al Gore, Sr., together with the rest of the southern Democrats, voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Congressional Quarterly reported that, in the House of Representatives, 61% of Democrats (152 for, 96 against) voted for the Civil Rights Act as opposed to 80% of Republicans (138 for, 38 against). In the Senate, 69% of Democrats (46 for, 21 against) voted for the Act while 82% of Republicans did (27 for, 6 against). All southern Democrats voted against the Act.
So much for the Democrats’ claim of “progress”.
The community organizer joke was nothing. Rudy or Sarah could’ve brought up the total waste of money that was the Annenberg Challenge. Or how Chicago hasn’t improved or changed a damn bit since The Messiah was working his miracles there.
Or, that Obama has never won an election purely on his own merits. He had all of his opponents dropped through legal maneuvers or having his henchmen magically unseal divorce records involving his opponents. Don’t be surprised if John McCain’s divorce records magically see the light of day or if some random group of lawyers have McCain dropped off the ballot because he was born in Panama. (Although all that would accomplish is put Sarah Palin in his place, heh heh!)
No, Obama got off easy.
They already tried this. It didn’t fly because he was born on a military base. AKA american soil.
I heard on Glenn Beck this morning about an organization called Public Allies. It is NPO for community organizers. It has strong ties to the Obamas and will be the springboard for his FDR style Youth org National Service Corps, where he coerces young people to join the state and be “educated” in “leadership”.

the jokes weren’t really funny, thats whast I’m laughing at. The fact that MM has to explain that they were actually jokes to her followers is telling. I don’t think they got them either.
Go back and read it again. She is not explaining to us. Read slow. It might help. Point with finger if neccesary.
Why does it always come down to race with you guys? Can’t white people support Obama because he’s not a despicable, gay hating, choice opposing, Republican crony and not because they feel the fabled, right wing fabrication known as “white guilt”?
I just returned from the dark side (KOS) to see what they are preaching. My mind is whacked from their libcrap, “Jesus was a community organizer” theme tearing at my heart. They think heyzoos worked on the south side of chicago. The Jesus I know is the Son of God, not some community organizer, who came to take away the sins of the world, not to tell you you’re alright being a homosexual, (yes, they are saying those things in daily kos hell) and this heyzoos would party with the sinner stuff.
This blog site has intellegence, that blog site has Michael Moore-on.
Since when are Michelle’s followers (besides you libs) “the outraged left?”
Why does it always come down to religion with you guys?
