"I guess a small town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities." - Sarah Palin
You know how there are bold and an italic font buttons? Well, if there was a big "S" button for snarky, or an "R" for ridiculous, or maybe even a "J" for just shut the fuck up, I would have clicked those for the above quote. But there isn't, so I can't. Maybe I should put it in teal or something. Teal is a really gross color.
Anyway, I'm glad Sarah Palin had the balls (metaphorically, guys!!! She's a woman. A WOMAN!) to finally target the people in America who deserve the most criticism in this election: community organizers. Ugh. Community organizer. The very words together make me ill. Community alone? Great, fine, makes me think of those polygamist villages in Utah. Organizer? Even better, makes me think of a Trapper Keeper. But together?! It sickens me. Just look at these events that were motivated by the laziness and sloth of community organizers of the past:
-The American Revolution
-The American Civil Rights Movement
-Women's Suffrage
-The Gay Rights Movement
-Me not eating my 5th slice of pizza in one nigh - fine, whatever, hour.
If that wasn't enough, do you guys even know some of history's more high-profile community organizers? Probably not, because this is the kind of dirt they like to hide from you. Well, call me Woodward & Bernstein, because take a look at what I've uncovered:
Community Organizers You May Have Heard Of:
-Dorothy Day (Named a "Servant of God" by Pope John Paul II. Nothing says "lazy ass bitch" to me like the word "servant.")
-Jane Addams (First Woman to be awarded Nobel Peace Prize. First WOMAN. She wasn't even the first person. Barf.)
- César Chávez (He is on a U.S. stamp. Regular POSTAL mail? Gross.)
-Martin Luther King, Jr. (The worst one. Do you know how lazy Martin Luther King, Jr. was? First off, he did NOTHING but sleep and talk about his stupid dreams for all I can tell. Then, he just like, died when a bullet entered his body. Can you get any more lazy than that?)
I think I've really illuminated Gov. Palin's point here. Republican, Democrat, or Ralph Nader, everyone can agree on one thing: We can't let those God damn community organizers win.

this is really an exciting time for blogs. dutifully posting at 5:24am? i think i know who the first woman president will be...
I believe the context was not that community organizers are worthless, but that offering such a position up as the bulk of your resume is inadequate, due at least in part to the fact that a community organizer focuses on their "issue" while being a mayor or governor requires one to run *all* aspects of a community. Just a thought.
Pam?
