Synonyms for “community organizer”
Add NY Democrat Gov. David Paterson to the list of those who don’t get why Obama’s “community organizer” days deserve ricidule, scorn, suspicion, and derision.
Paterson echoed the Obama cult’s complaint that Republicans equate “community organizer” with “black:”
On Monday, Gov. David Paterson angered some state lawmakers by comparing them to vampires, calling them a bunch of “blood suckers.” On Tuesday, he raised eyebrows again, and tempers, by accusing the John McCain campaign of veiled racism.
At the Crain’s Business Forum this morning, Paterson drew attention to a phrase used numerous times by speakers at the Republican National Convention to describe Barack Obama’s leadership experience: community organizer.
“I think the Republican Party is too smart to call Barack Obama ‘black’ in a sense that it would be a negative. But you can take something about his life, which I noticed they did at the Republican Convention – a ‘community organizer.’ They kept saying it, they kept laughing,” he said.
Let me help.
Synonyms for Obama-esque “community organizer:”
They come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and illegal and criminal records.
It ain’t about the black or white. It’s all about the green.

You mean all those years I was spreading hate and discontent I was a Community Organizer?
Now you tell me.
I live in NJ and read the NY media. If anyone disagrees with Paterson, you are demeaned by the libs as an attacker of a blind black man. This guy is unqualified! Paterson is a mini Obama. He is so bad, that it should terrify anyone if Obama is elected President heaven forbid!
Community Organizer: One who organizes comunities to cry out loudly when they don’t get the biggest part of the government dole that they expect in order to buy their cadillacs and drugs/alcohol at the expense of taxpaying Americans. Synonym: Leech
So much for the idea that my new governor is much better than the old one. I thought Paterson was supposed to be above this race-baiting behavior. Not once have I ever thought community organizer = black.
community organizer; Milking the sow

Wow, i didn’t know I was so racist. Thanks for letting me know what sort of scumball I am for having a different view from yours.
Does anyone else thing the Dems have lost thier freaking minds?

McCain/Palin 08′
Lenin was a community organizer. You can take it from there.
With all this attention given to how important it is to have community organizers, where’s the improvement to these communities? You’d think there’d be more to show in the community for the effort.
Well, given that this is a Chicago political hack we’re talking about…
“Community organizer” = “the guy who signs up dead people and felons to vote Democrat.”
OR:
“Community organizer” = “race-baiting loudmouth.”
Given Obama’s well-documented ties to the likes of ACORN – well-documented by Michelle, among others – and his continual playing of the race card during his campaign, well…
So was Hitler…
Obama on O’Reilly defending his relationship with fellow freedom fighter… errr…. community organizer Richard Ayers.
*yawn* I guess I’ll come back tomorrow in the hopes of finding something better to read and talk about than new epithets for Sen. Obama.
Is the president of my POA a community organizer, too? What about the head of the local PTA? Maybe Palin’s PTA experience can be a substitute for Obama’s time as a “community organizer”.
I had a professor years ago who told us of how he was duped into being a community agitator. He ended up getting whacked in the head for leading a demonstration against the police. He found out later that he was being coaxed into anti-American actions by Communists.
Obama, Lipstick, Pig, Palin; What up O?
I haven’t read all of the previous comments, but there’s something revealing about Patterson’s comment. Is he actually expressing the view that to criticize something about his life is somehow racist? Does he think that for anyone who is not black to criticize anyone who is black is automatically racist? Regardless of the possible merit of the criticism?
comm…y organizer = victim producer
aj, is that a new tagline? I’d like to be completely confident, but we can’t let our guard down.
*hand raised*
Community organizer == Stripes painted on the pavement
Indeed. I had a professor who I think got it right. We talk about Left and Right, but the range of poltical beliefs is not a line going left to right. Instead think of it as a circle like a clock.
Moderates are at 12 o’clock. Conservatives at 3 o’clock and liberals at 9 o’clock. When you go beyond normal conservative and liberal, the extremists actually have more and more in common. Hitler, Lenin, Pol Pot, etc. are at 6 o’clock, which is where you find tyranny.
I think Obama is somewhere between 6:30 and 7:00.
Community organizer == Traffic signs/lights
And Mother Teresa.

Synonym for ‘community organizer’ – one word: Communist!
Navywife91–
great link. Good for a couple of laugh’s.
Gov. Patterson, a liberal democrat that took over the office from Spitzer, a liberal democrat when Spitzer was forced to resign from office because he was spending a kizallion dollars on prostitutes while vigorously prosecuting prostitution and corruption.
Gov. Patterson, if I remember correctly, was having an affair or had had a couple of affairs along with other political problems when he assumed the title of Governor, was close to being called upon to resign.
My question is: does absolute corruption come after you are a democrat or do you have to be a democrat, liberal, and are naturally corrupt and dis-honest?
Also, I am beginning to understand the awsum role of a community organizer and the huge responsibility one assumes when you become a community organizer. According to BHO, the responsibility is far larger than running a state with a BILLION PLUS DOLLAR BUDGET! That is awsum! And really a damn good reason to elect him POTUS.
Final question: Are all community organizer’s black? Gov. Patterson seems to imply they are. No whites, Hispanics, Asians, green or purple people?
Love this board. The responses are terrific!
Governor David Paterson just may be that Lip Stick Pig of which the Anointed One spoke. But being America’s foremost blind adulterer, and fun to watch, all must submit to His Inaneness, if that is a word.
Either that or ignore the clown altogether. New York is on a real winning streak with loser governors.
If Governor David Paterson really was worried about racism he MIGHT say something about Michelle Obama, Jerry Wright, Calypso Louis and mention a whole bunch of New York City gangs but he has not. Perhaps that does not serve the cause of Professional Victimism. (made up that word to!)
Community Organizer = one more street con.

Hey Obama-Want to see a Bitter American?
Look at your wife.
(I have the Hat, I know it’s true)
Community Organizer: one who wraps old stinky fish in newspaper and delivers it to little socialist piggies with excessive makeup.
I can only imagine that the abuse heaped on community organizers by the Right arises from the fact that the idea that some people could get into politics to improve the world, rather than run it for the profit of themselves and their cronies.
Yep — Obama left a good-paying job to work in the ghetto to help people improve their lives, for a modest salary, instead of ditching his wife to marry someone rich and well-connected so that he could vote for tax breaks for large corporations. He must be a communist.
Another synonym
lazy and unmotivated underachiever looking for a free ride on the public dime with a chip on his shoulder with an angrier wife with a HUGE chip on her shoulder
Boy it is worse than I thought.
I have been inundated with comments supporting Obama on this one. They are saying that he was just making a point. He didn’t mean to put down Sarah.
If anyone would like to respond to these “out of their mind” Dems please come over and leave a word. Then of course come back to Michelle.

Milk squirting out of my nose funny!!!
I have noticed a glaring lack of understanding regarding the role of the modern day “community organizer”. After extensive research and analysis, I have found the definitive answer, which I now share in the interest of political harmony and good will.
Community organizers haven’t changed much since the days when “communities” were referred to as “villages”. The biggest change has been to apply the politically correct standards of today to the more descriptive functional terminology of years past so as not to denigrate the self esteem of those who served that role. While today’s community organizer is no different than yesterday’s village idiot, our kinder and gentler society precludes the use of the “i” word in polite discourse.
In modern society, there is a place for everyone. And just as no village was complete without its own idiot, no community these days can claim to be truly inclusive without its designated organizer.
I trust this clears things up a bit.
I dare “community organizer” BHO to come to our PTA meetings….we would chew him up and spit him out….these Moms know how to smell a fake at 100 paces….
You’re missing the point. The goal of a community organizer is not to benefit the community, but to benefit the organizer.
Given the recent downturn in the Bush-McCain economy, it’s likely we should all dust off our resumes.
Clearly you’ve never worked with the tough women (and men) trying hard to hold together the kind of communities in which Barack organized. Not saying your PTA ladies aren’t tough, but he’s seen tough, too.
Oh, I think I get it,
“It takes a Village Idiot!”
Obama, Lipstick, Pig, Palin; What up O’?
Ha! Touche` Yet, last time I checked, Mother Therese didn’t volunteer her life to help, heal, and save in the pursuit of power, money, or influence. A much better retort would have been Gandhi.
That said, Hitler was a community organizer. He called his community “the Nazis” and they too wanted to “change the world into what it should be”. Boy, and change it they did…
Jim M. # 58.
Very funny. See, I knew if the question was asked enough times I would get a bunch of good definitions.
So—to clarify your response—running a multi Billion state has far more responsibility attached than a community organizer?

Hey bemused, I don’t rely on government for my welfare. Entrepreneurship is just fine with me. Also don’t rely on corporations for our well being. Find what you like to do, adjust as life requires and do it. You don’t need a job defending or being a BHO spokesperson. Loosing proposition.
Have fun with the trolls…I’m out.

Thanks for the laugh.
BHO may have many mad skills, but coping with tough people and situations is NOT one of them.
Hence, the wheels on the Messiah’s chariot are coming off.
Yes but, Hallelujah and Praise the Lord, they could not achieve their ultimate purpose which was the destruction of the Jews.
Take THAT, Hitler!
If this is any indication of how he will deal with dictators or rogue nation leaders, we’re sunk.
To Ahmadinejad: “Hear the joke about lipstick on a pig…?”
Um, the Democrats virtually invented the idea of getting into politics for the financial benefit of themselves and their cronies.
Confused Lib, nearly everyone does what is in their own best interests to do, and Odumpy is no exception. Look at the cushy jobs his significant other was given once he achieved some authority. Just like Hillary becoming, at a young age, a full partner in a law firm the day her hubby was elected governor. And I’m sure Odumpey’s memoirs haven’t generated a dime of profit for him. Would they have sold had he not opted for the political path? Not likely.
Don’t give us this “some people do it to better the world” crap. Odumpey has exhibited far to much narcicism for me to buy that bag of doodoo.
This is such a joke. Before Barack Obama we, In Washingotn State(8th Congressional District Race), had to put up with another form of “community organizer” known as a “community leader” known as Darcy Burner (for her run for the same seat this year she has changed it to community organizer). She ran against Dave Reichert (former Sheriff of King County who actually tried to stop the WTO Riots in Seattle and also hleped to bring the Green River Serial Killer to justice). Her inflated resume consisted of listing herself as a “former Microsoft Exec” (which she was not) and “community Leader” as in leader of a HOA and this is the experieince she claims (sounds a bit like Obama does it not).
BemusedLib
In 1970 when the “great society’” was just beginning, one third of the black population was designated middle class. After 40 years the ratio has not changed. Social engineering has not worked because it does not demand individual responsibility. No amount civil activism will work without that core principle.
For all those unfamiliar with the common expression for cosmic light consuming attractors….they’re not your wife.
Community Organizer= Pimping the Malcontent
That is a desperation link to appeal to the less educated.
that is exactly where this is going to lead. you are not black, so anything you say is racist, therefore due to our differences in color you cannot critisize me in any area. you are a racist pig. sad, but this will be the argument instead of being able to provide a rebuttal to the facts, it will be accusations of racism at the root of your ‘comments/facts/opinion’.
Never mind that the person hiring Barack Obama into the world of “community organizing” was WHITE, and had failed in the neighborhood because he wasn’t trusted. Thus he hired Barack…
Selective editing, folks.
A world without a community organizer in it would not be any different than a world with one
If you want to serve your country, join the armed forces, police department, or fire department, Volunteer at a senior center or hospital. Go help crime victims. Just quit running around humping peoples legs like a horny poodle asking for cash handouts and stirring up trouble, then calling it organizing a community
Pearl diver. Because after all is said and done, there’s only one that rises out an organized community.
Phillips is on target, as usual.
She is probably the best journalist in Britain, right now. Heck, maybe in Europe…
Is that the Obama campaign talking point of the day? Weak. Even weaker than attacking Palin’s infant.
Doesn’t have a clue does he? Not to sure about yours, and I don’t really care, but most people come from tough times at some point. Obama’s tough time was his own choosing to live in self pity and black rage while his white grandmother cared for him, the Typical White Person Grandmother. Black rage because his black father and white mother abandoned him. Obama is a bitter sob, but far from tough.
I come from tough people: work the fields tough; construction jobs tough; freight docks tough. But we weren’t bitter. Bitter is for crybabies.
Not to put to fine a point on it but I doubt BemusedLiberal would do well in those fields, job sites or docks. I know Bambi wouldn’t. mamaBama might.
Sorry BemusedLiberal but tough isn’t tying a do rag on your head and shanking grandma. Tough is getting up and getting it done, taking care of your own and never letting the other guy see you weak. That ain’t bambi BemusedLiberal.
Yup, 3.1% growth is a “downturn”.
How do libtards eat and breathe at the same time?
It does not take a giant brain or a degree to be a community organizer. This is of course the point. Almost anyone can do it.
Two thumbs up!!
Is Patterson now the new governor of Word Watch? Oh, how I weep for the New York I wish could exist and never will because of morons like this guy and spitzer. I don’t even know if Pataki was any better.
As an absentee voter, I didn’t vote for this PC pariah. Don’t blame me, NY because you’re not serious about reform, taxes, or even prosperity in the Upstate region.
New York is dead just like California. Its public school system is in shambles (I used to be a substitute teacher) and politicians aren’t doing a damn thing to improve anything but their own pocketbooks.
I’ll never go back to this place. Never. The East Coast is dead to me.
Are not Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton community organizers?
Are they not black?
For many decades “Community Organizers” were called “Priests” and “Ministers”, sometimes they were called “Cops” and occasionally “Aldermen”, “Mayors”, and “businessmen”, but most often they were called “Mayor”
Geez! According to Obama-san this whole country is packed with people more qualified to be president than he, because these “Community Organizers” were “Community Organizing” for an entire lifetime, not just when they descended from Mount Privileged to bless their subjects with his very glory.
You can put lipstick on a community organizer, but you still only have a lipstick.
Personally I don’t like to think that the term “Community Organizer” = “Thug” but you and Michelle just may be on to something.
2 Community Organizers, who we will call Barack and Joe, were running for office and were walking down a dirt road to talk to potential voters when they happened upon a donkey. Barack, the lead community organizer, said to the donkey, “Hey man, you are the symbol of the Democrat Party, can I count on you for a vote this November”? To which the donkey replied, “Hell no”! The confounded Barack said, “How can you deny your heritage”?
The donkey simply said, “I may be a donkey, but I am not a dumb-a$$”!
This may not be the right place for this in the threads but when I heard Patterson say community organizer was a synonym for black, I thought “now you tell me”. When I was a kid before we had a color tv, we must have had a “community organizer” and white one.
Unemployment rate up .4% in a single month. Foreclosures/delinquencies at record levels. Massive bailouts for failed GSEs. Recession here. I guess conservatives really don’t know how to read after all.
Your grasp of history is pathetic. “The Great Society” was of course, the name of Lyndon Johnson’s domestic agenda (and Grace Slick’s first band) the principles had long been abandoned by 1970, the second year of the Nixon Administration, if favor of playing up white/conservative resentment and screwing up Vietnam even further.
In fact, if you knew how to read a historical table, you’d find that during the prime years of the war on poverty — figure ’59 to ’69 — the black poverty dropped from 55.1% to 32.2% — a 41% drop. (Note that during this same era community organizers like Medgar Evers, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, and Martin Luther King, Jr were murdered, while countless others were being beaten and jailed. Conservative contempt for community organizers has an unfortunate history).
During the Clinton era, black unemployment rates hit their lowest levels ever and black poverty rates fell dramatically again, from 33% to 22%.
So, I think what you meant to say is that when leadership in Washington is focused on something other than stupid wars and lining the pockets of the already well-off, the war on poverty works.
You were just momentarily blinded by your utter ignorance of the facts.
Community Organizer=La Cosa Nostra
Community Organizer=MS13
Community Organizer=Bloods

All were formed with the intention of “helping” their respective “communities”….
You can put lipstick on a community organizer, of uncertain ethnic heritage, who may or may not even be a U.S. citizen, who may or may not be a Muslim, who is a socliaist, who has never had a real job, who has no executive experience, who is married to a woman who was never proud of her country until her husband was going to be the nominee for his party, who thinks that we have 57 states, who supports killing unborn babies even after they are born, who wants to raise our taxes while calling it a tax-cut, who believes more in the U.N and world opinion than in the sovereignty of our country, who sat under a racist preacher for several years and proclaimed not to hear any inflammatory rhetoric, who lives near and served on a board with a known terrorist who tried to blow up our capitol building, who has shady financial ties with an indicted financier in Chicago, who sits idly by while his minions trash his opponent’s VP choice and her family, who denigrates this same female VP candidate with sexist remarks, who allows his underlings to question the character and integrity of his opponent who is a former POW and a decorated war hero, who cannot give a speech without teleprompters or edited questions, who is on the road to a political come-uppance of the first order, but you still have a community organizer.
Filling in for lgm and Rusty, Mookie?
Community organizer:
atheling – it’s very easy to have 3.1% equal a negative number. Libs do it all the time. With lgm as their math teacher it’s easy. Feeling is more important than absolutes
