There seems to be some consensus in the blogosphere that if there was one place that Sarah Palin stepped in shite last night (and there were many, actually) this theme may cost her and John McCain the most.
- IN DEFENSE OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS .... There was plenty to be offended by at last night's Republican convention, but the snide, condescending shots directed at community organizers, most notably from Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin, seemed unusually cheap, even by GOP standards. I noticed this afternoon that McCain had scheduled a photo-op with Habitat for Humanity (it was later cancelled), and quickly realized that all of those folks who help build homes for families in need are, in fact, community organizers. I wondered how many of them took comfort in the derision they received by leading Republicans last night, as if their work somehow lacked value.
- Community Organizers.
Among them:
Jane Addams
Samuel Gompers
Jane Jacobs
Mother Jones
Martin Luther King Jr.
John Lewis
Paul Wellstone
Carrie Nation
Susan B. Anthony
But this one is the best:
- "Mrs. Palin needs to be reminded that Jesus Christ was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor."

The liberal rhetoric is so predictable. 'Community Organizers' nation wide rise up in anger because a political candidate who is being lambasted in the media as being a woman who should stay home and take care of her kids noted that Obama was a 'community organizer' as his major life experience to qualify HIM to be PRESIDENT.
So now every community organizer, liberal of course, is whining the unfairness of it all. I guess they would be happy if Palin went back to being just a mom so they wouldn't have to explain THEIR twisted version of FEMINISM that says you can only be a certain kind of feminist to qualify as 'feminist'. Hmm, very interesting.......but...
predictable.
READ MY LIPSTICK!
Um, who in the media or the Democratic Party is making the argument that Sarah Palin should stay home with her kids? Oh yea. It was Dr. Laura.

Anyone else?
Working as a community organizer is a good thing. He helped people.
"an organizer working on Chicago's far South Side for a community group based in the churches of the region, an expanse of white, black and Latino blue-collar neighborhoods that were reeling from the steel-mill closings."

Why do you assume that all community organizers are liberal?
And what a stretch for you to say that Obama says it is his major life experience that qualifies him to be president.
