Teaching Palin About Community Organizers

My response to Governor Palin's apparent lack of education on the pivotal, important role of community organizers and community organization in OUR lives, and specifically in HER life.

she wasnt making fun of community organizers, she was saying that being a mayor qualifies her to be president more than say a community organizer.

Then she should have said that, defended her own qualifications, instead of being sarcastic and snarky about community organizers. Imagine if Obama had come out attacking her as a PTA member - well yeah, that's part of her background, but not the extent of it. It was a ridiculous thing for her to do. And frankly, her shrinking favorability ratings has shown that the more people know of her, the less they like her. Fitting, as she's not very likable.

Did Susan B. Anthony actualy call herself a community organizer? The term itself seems like it was made up. Like Account Executive, for salesman. Sanitation Engineer, for garbage man, or my favorite Pumpologist, for the guy who fills your tank. I thought about using another term to describe my profession, "Emulsion Application Engineer", but they still refer to me as a dumb painter.

A community organizer is ANY person who organizes a group of individuals with some common interest in a collective fashion to give them a political voice. In the case of Susan B. Anthony, ABSOLUTELY. That coin does flip both ways, though - some organized communities are bad ones. But the idea that Palin tried to knock down Obama by ALSO knocking down a lot of people who do good, selfless work simply revealed the character we now know she does NOT possess.

Thank you for your eloquence. Please do more of these. You're very good at it.

We need good representation for Americans as creative, hard working, kind folks. 8 yrs of swagger and war for profit are 8 yrs too many. Elsewhere in the world people know it isn't all Americans that they dislike...just our government. I'm voting for a globally responsible government who will work hard to make us the cutting edge nation in science again leading us in clean energy technology.

@DaveHallSWKR yes it's difficult for you to understand that Obama had no experinece working a regular job when he ran for office...yes it must be difficult to see that this woman is a social progressive ... and community organizers do not create business.. yes its very difficult for you to understand ..

[DaveHallSWKR]

@a211pc what the hell are you trying to say?  Not terribly articulate.

[CampKohler]

I'm flabbergasted! How'd she know I was going to watch this video on a Friday?????

[a211pc]

This woman is a social prgressive and elitist ... Obama has no experience ..community organizers createv no new business nor do they manage ppl or run a business ..when Obama says he has experience ??? he has none ..

This bitch is a complete jackass. Keep crying about needing help from community organizers. How about this? Get your fucking act together, pull up your pants, get the marbles out of your mouth, stop listening to rap music and doing drugs, get your ass in school and off the street corner. Oh wait that's too hard, its easier to cry racism and prejudice. Now I know why my community did not have a community organizer. This cunt need to get fucked.

[uncannyb]

To all you Republicans who keep asking what a Community organizer is. It's sort of like those corporate lobbyist in John McCain's office.... only without the suitcase full of bribe money.
