Community Organizers
I thought it was an exceptionally low blow when Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani laughed at the concept of a community organizer last night. To be clear, they weren’t saying that Obama is inexperienced because he was a community organizer, they were saying that “community organizer” is a job worthy of ridicule in and of itself. This, in my estimation, is shameful–and a big mistake.
In so doing, the GOP last night really drove home the notion that they’re the party of wealthy white people who don’t need (or understand the role of) community organizers. The kind of people who have been in positions of power for so long that they don’t even recognize their own affluence anymore. (And yet, ironically, seem to always make themselves out to be the victims of some attack by the ‘liberal elites’)
Here’s a gentleman who agrees:
