Cute: Campaign sign of the day

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 7, 2008 07:17 PM

ACORN is offended! The Obama camp is readying a new e-mail calling on worshipers to donate money to fight this insult!

Thanks to reader Fly Over, who spotted the sign at a rally in St. Louis:

    Community organizers even have their own site on the Internet. Some guy in New York started it. But, they don’t let just anybody post…I tried…freedom for me but not for thee trope, as usual.

    I still do not know what the hell a community organizer does, but I am beginning to think it’s a super way to earn lots of money pretending to do something. They still can’t account for $49 million during the Ayers/Obama watch.

    Yes, Acorn issued a press release expressing their outrage at the dissing of the “important work” community organizers do. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a comedic bit, although that’s how it read.

    Another Dem blog is also “warning” about the “disenfranchisement” of voters in Ohio, because some mailers went out with a “do not forward” and those that are returned (like to fast food restaurants that are boarded up) will be stricken from the voters roll.

    That’s gonna set ACORN waaaaay back.

    Kind of reminds me of a precinct in Fort Worth, TX that I have heard about for a
    long time. It is a predominately precinct that in the ’70s and early ’80s was run
    by a Dem Precinct Chairman named Columbo. His precinct Always voted 110%
    Democrat. Of course there was always a sham investigation (the GOP was just
    getting a real foothold in Tarrant County at the time) and then pfffffft! nothing.
    Some people did try to complain that they would get to the polls only to be told
    they had already voted. Others said that they would receive phone calls telling
    them not to bother to come to the polls because they had already voted. He was
    never defeated. He had to die to be deposed.

    Job 7:1

    WHAT FOLLOWS IS for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they beleive it should be. The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.

    In this book we are concerned with how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people…
    …this means revolution.

    A certain “community orgnizer” is trying to create a mass organization to seize power…this means revolution.

    I still do not know what the hell a community organizer does

    Based on my years in Chicago, I believe a “community organizer” can be best described as a “half-way house” or “proving ground” for aspiring members of the Chicago establishment. There it can be determined if the candidate is best suited for academia or politics — or is not suited for anything at all and is flushed from the system. Mayor Daley’s (i.e. the original Daley, not his awful PC son) rule for politicians remains fundamental in Chicago: Don’t make no waves, Don’t back no losers (policies or people). Smooth Obama, who indeed makes an eel look like sandpaper (HT to Thomas Sowell), easily passed the political test, the only option really open to him (constitutional scholar indeed!). Hope that helps.

    I keep remembering that he wants to form another “domestic police type force.”
    What for? Why? We are loaded with organizations like that that only seem to
    work half the time. Why would we need another unless to keep us in line when Mr. Wonderful gets into office.
    His wife is angry, he is angry, his mentors are angry. Yep. Those are the types of people we want running this country.
    As one article stated, He is a sociopath (not serial killer type) who is profiling
    the people of this country. Actually their discription of Obama also seemed to
    fit Slick Willy, and we know how well that worked out.

    Is that the best they can do?

    Most people who volunteer or work full-time in our communities have a different name for their work.

    “Community Organizers” are usually organizing communities for action towards their own Communist objectives.

    Sarah Palin was mocking Barack Obama’s “experience”. She wasn’t mocking people who help those in our communities.

    The NYT piece is a pretty weak smear.

    Is that really the best that they can do?

    As I understand it, a “commmunity organizer” is a Leftard who sees himself as a member of the intelligent elite, sent by Gaia to nobly assist people whom he privately sees as helpless, dependent dumbshits to pry more taxpayer-funded benefits out of the system. Some Leftie foundation usually pays the bills (including the salary of the c.o. himself), and no accountability is ever demanded. The only important measure of success is how good the community organizer feels about himself for lavishing other people’s money on his pathetic clients.

    If Drudge is true, the NY Times article is not surprising. Today on ABC, NY Times Columnisr David Brooks noted that elites in the NE consider Sarah Palin to be in Brooks words, “Trailer Trash.” The media also knows if Palin is not destroyed by October 15, Obama is toast.

    We cannot let our emotions and desire for in kind payback to cause us to do anything that will make Obama a sympathetic figure.

    Obama’s campaign has been strategically flanked. Their only hope is a strategic one, namely the destruction of Sarah Palin. So stay cool, let Obama’s words and record be our best asset, and respond responsively is my opinion.

We met with local elected officials and showed them how successful programs piloted by ACORN in Chicago and Milwaukee could be adapted to keep local youths off the streets.

    Community organizers out of Chicago work for the more advantaged. The projects for which Senator Obama did the “organizing” were built by cronies of Little Dick Shortshanks “hizzoner da Mayor” and the buildings are falling apart due to shoddy construction, mistreatment by the “disadvantaged tenants,” and fires, usually set by squatters from what I hear.

    I seriously doubt that Jesus was for agitprop, Chicago political corruption and ACORN style voter fraud, but I guess you have your own interpretations.

    Do you think Obama chased any money lenders? Isn’t it a shame that his community agitating years didn’t show much in the way of helping the less advantaged? I mean, that building form which he set out to remove all the asbestos insulation, still has asbestos, oddly enough.

    Alinsky, one of Obama’s mentors, tells a different tale of “community organizing.”

    “Community agitators organizers” are the folks who pass out the “street money,” booze and cigarettes to the “prospective voters.” They are the ones who load the buses with the protesters rent-a-mobs for “rallies” like the Million Man March and the gangs that Jackson, Sharpton, et al bring with them as their entourage. “Community organizers” are the ones who “organize” the ACORN/Public Allies/La Raza-type meetings, designed to incite already angry groups of people “victims” and train them for their on-the-street activities. They also assist these same groups of people in their pursuit of “handouts” from the gov’t…welfare, LINK cards, Medicaid, Soc. Security benefits, etc.

    There is nothing wrong with having people who are working in the communities for the betterment of the lives of those within those communities. I just happen to believe that continuing to encourage embittered people in their dependence and neediness instead of fostering independence and self-sufficiency is doing the WRONG thing, morally, spiritually, and ethically.

After that, he won how many cases before going on to the state senate? I think it was one. Yes, Sarah is sinking his ship. What worked on Hillary will not work on Sarah. She’s stealing his audience and he can’t stop it.
    Ever notice that the biggest whinners have no sense of humor; Gore, Kerry and Obama just aren’t funny.

    I doubt there are very many actual community organizers for McCain. Community organizers work for the less advantaged (in the tradition of the guy who chased money lenders out of the temple two thousand years ago). McCain is working for the more advantaged.

    Humor must be explained to the left.

    It bears repeating until the word gets out to the masses…Barack Obama wants a collective society. In case people don’t know what that is, the definition needs to be sent out far and wide. It is another name for socialism. They must think that changing the name will fool the commoners! Two quotes from a speech Obama gave in 2006 to a graduating class are indicative of his socialist leaning…”our individual salvation depends on our collective salvation” and “…to help perfect our collective dream as a nation”. Can anyone find more quotes of Obama’s with the word collective in them? We should compile a list!

    I actually found quite a bit of stuff about Barry and his collectivist ideology on line. Wow…I guess I hadn’t delved into that enough! One person wrote something worth repeating…”From community organizer to head the coalition of collectivists. It takes a coalition of collectives to raise a con-man to unprecedented heights.” I just can’t believe he has gotten so far as to be a candidate for President of this Free, Capitalist society! This is truly frightening! Wake up America! The socialists have been trying to get a foothold in this country for years and now they have it!

    I posted this under the “Boomerang” thread earlier, but it applies here as well:

    In response to the question “What is a community organizer” I offer what appeared in a recent Patriot Post:

    “James Taranto of The Wall Street Journal notes that while Democrats are complaining about putting “the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency,” Obama, the community organizer, will be “no heartbeats away.” And Taranto still isn’t sure what a “community organizer” does. He asks, “Are we supposed to cast our eyes on the slums of Chicago, behold how well organized they are, and exclaim in wonder, ‘Wow, Barack Obama did that!’?”

    After receiving an email from David Plouffe of the Obama campaign explaining, “Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies,” Taranto thinks he’s finally got the answer. “[C]ommunity organizing consists of helping elect Barack Obama president!” He concludes, “The community Barack Obama has organized is, in Plouffe’s own telling, the community of those who admire Barack Obama… He is mayor of Obamaville and aspires to be president of Barackistan.”

    NOW I understand what they are and what they do!

    lgm (#45) wrote: “the guy who chased money lenders out of the temple two thousand years ago”

    I don’t know what Bible lgm reads but they were money changers, not lenders (offerings and tithes were made in the local currency). The reason the Lord chased them out was they had turned a place of worship into a place of business.

    Now we have those who chase religion out of all apsects of our lives because they are offended by open displays of faith — unless it is the peaceful faith of Islam or whatever happens to pass muster in Hollyweird.

    IMHO, it is likely their own feelings of shame rather than being offended that causes them to protest loudly.

    here’s a piece on ACORN and voting from the Lou Dobbs show last night

    KITTY PILGRIM, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The right to vote is the most basic right of citizenship, but voter registration is on an honor system. Voters simply check the box. I am a U.S. citizen. I meet the eligibility requirements of my state. Campaign workers often don’t check.

    In Cleveland, Ohio, election officials are now double-checking more than 51,000 new voter registrations, admitted by community activist group Acorn last month. They noticed that some had the same names but different addresses. Hans Von Spakovsky studies election fraud at the Heritage Foundation and is a former member of the Federal Election Commission.

    HANS VON SPAKOVSKY, HERITAGE FOUNDATION: Acorn in previous elections has had dozens of its employees indicted and convicted of voter registration fraud. Here we are in the ‘08 election and it’s already happening again.

    PILGRIM: Acorn did not respond to our calls. Lori Minnite studies voter registration for Demos, a non-partisan policy organization.

    LORI MINNITE, DEMOS: You’re putting an intermediary between the voter and election official. And mistakes can be made and the influence to get someone to sign.

    PILGRIM: Curtis Gans, director of American University Center for the study of the American Electorate, has a solution.

    CURTIS GANS, CTR. FOR STUDY OF AMERICAN ELECTORATE: We will have this dialogue every biennium until we do something that will end it and the thing that we can do that will end it is to create a biometric national I.D.

    (END VIDEOTAPE)

    PILGRIM: Some states are taking precautions. The U.S. Supreme Court just upheld Indiana’s right to vote. Arizona, Lou, requires prove of citizenship. You know there is really no time to check these documents. Voter registration is open. There are eight states where you can vote and register on the exact same day.

    DOBBS: It’s insane what has happened in this country in my opinion where there’s no requirement for proof of citizenship. It’s a pretty straightforward matter. We have made voting simply too easy for understandable civil rights concerns in some cases but until others, we have erred too far in making this great privilege of ours to vote simply — we’ve debased it in many cases.

    PILGRIM: It’s very worrisome. It’s a right. But it’s the honor system is something that could be reexamined as we go forward.

    DOBBS: All right. Kitty Pilgrim, thank you very much.
