Hummmm. I wonder who actually said it first? Need to see a timeline. Bet is was a Dem talking point before a Republican said it.

South-side Chicago community organizer = welfare pimp.

There. Everyone was thinking it. I said it.

Hey 0bama, if you can’t take the heat, get out of the election.

Credit to some FReeper whose ID I forget.

Ok what are the “responsibilities” of a community organizer and who does he answer to that makes sure the organizer follow through on these responsibilities?

This past week, Senator John McCain gave conservatives a reason to get off the couch and vote in droves. The nomination of Sarah Palin was a brilliant political move. She is totally energizing the conservative sector of the population; furthermore, she will pull women voters who are disappointed by Hillary Clinton’s loss and Reagan Democrats/Blue Collar voters. No wonder the media, most of whom support Senator Obama, hate her.

Governor Palin is being demonized. When it is big news that her husband had a DUI 20 years ago, the media is clearly struggling to find dirt.

Why are we not hearing that Palin, like Clinton, is in position to make history and shatter the glass ceiling? Could it be that a woman who supports protecting unborn babies, limiting marriage to one man and one woman, and preserving Second Amendment rights, is a pariah to the pseudo-champions of women’s rights?

If you oppose having your taxes being raised, oppose increased government control over your life and oppose American dependence on foreign oil, join me in voting for McCain and Palin.

The left is afraid of us looking into what a "community organizer" is... they're soooooooooo afraid they're using the race card to try to scare us off.

Jesus had apostles spread his message, not the mainstream media.

Jesus also didn’t get lost without a teleprompter.

Nothing I have seen has gotten under Obie's skin more that the community organizer thing. Apparently the electorate was just supposed to look at it and assume it was a good thing. The man has simply lost it.

Of course if this were a Republican the press would be looking for quantifiable evidence that his efforts were successful, but alas, I digress...

[Harry Wurzbach]

It’s a bullsh*t job for young lefties looking to make their political mark before they make their coin in the system they allegedly despise. It absolutely deserves to be derided.

Here’s a pretty typical want-ad for one:

Oh know Barry is sensitive and is thin skinned. He can’t be joked about. NO

But Sarah palins child yes?

[Tublecane]

“South-side Chicago community organizer = welfare pimp”

Actually, I say community-organization = agitprop.

Obama didn’t just pimp welfare, he hustled for the Democrat political machine.

[Recon Dad]

The question that needs to be asked is, “as a Community Organizer what did he accomplish”.

I want to see the tangible things he accomplished in that position. Don't tell me he brought in a lot of votes because anybody with a bag of money can do that.

Excellent article! And a definite bookmark. Thanks.

"$15 billion, an average of $1.5 billion per year going directly into low- and moderate-income communities to help strengthen working families."

With the other $13.5 billion going into our back pockets......... Sorry, I just felt tempted to finish the sentence..

[muawiyah]

The MSM are reacting the way they are because of their total lack of familiarity with volunteer work, community organization, or anything else that might bring them down to the level of normal human beings.

You beat me to it, check post 14.

Obama previously worked for ACORN, directing its voter mobilization arm, Project Vote, a successful voter registration campaign that helped propel Democrat Carol Moseley Braun into the U.S. Senate by adding an estimated 125,000 voters to the rolls. Project Vote claims to conduct "non-partisan" voter registration drives, counsels potential voters on their rights, and litigates on behalf of the poor and "disenfranchised."

I would like to know how many of these people signed up to "vote" really exist. And what's the story about helping displaced steel workers? Has that been quietly debunked and swept under the rug? Hey ABC NEWS - we got a hot one here.

Obama is proud of his “community organizer” career, but he wants to hide what “organizing” he actually did. The “media” wants to help him cover it up with their “don't ask, don't tell” stance.
