Oh No! She Ticked Off the Nuts at ACORN

7:26 am 2008 Race

A blogger at Pam’s House Blend smuggly claims that Palin’s comment on community organizers was coming back to bite her and then proceeded a list of offended groups. The second one listed caught my eye:

Assn. of Community Organizations for Reform Now: ACORN members, leaders and staff are extremely disappointed that Republican leaders would make such condescending remarks on the great work community organizers accomplish in cities throughout this country. The fact that they marginalize our success in empowering low- and moderate-income people to improve their communities further illustrates their lack of touch with ordinary people.

And we get this bumper sticker from a left wing blogger:

Jesus was a Community Organizer, Pontius Pilate was a Governor

Jesus was, of course, not a community organizer. He was an itenerant preacher, however the clear point, I guess is to complete the gratuitious comparison between Christ and Obama, and perhaps to show how humbly community organizers think of themselves.

Oh no, the GOP just lost any hope of getting support from ACORN! Seriously? ACORN is a group that’s well-known for committing voter fraud while registering Democratic voters including deceased people and fraudulent applications. How will the Republicans win without ACORN? Indeed, each group that’s listed is basically a left wing group.

Republicans didn’t disrespect community organizations. However, I’ve know a lot of people who’ve done good in their communities with non-profits and none have used the label “community organizer.” It’s reminiscent of someone describing their experience as a waitress as “food service specialist.” In other words, it’s politically correct resume puffing and it’s a term that doesn’t communicate what exactly he did or what his efforts in Chicago really accomplished. And it, along with Obama having edited the Harvard Law review and teaching law school and running for President is being used to puff the resume of the least qualified presidential candidate we’ve seen in at least 68 years.

    This could have teeth. These are nasty people with a good memory. We need to be ready to stand with an answer to these.

    The issue is that Obama and his supporters have never said exactly what his community organizing specifically was. If it was voter registration, trash pick up, crime watch, etc, then they should just say that, but they don’t.
