No opportunity for self-aggrandizement.

And if Chicago weren’t run by asshole fascist rethuglican nazis like Richard Dailey and his family, the masses there wouldn’t NEED a savior like Obama to lift them up into the light.

I think I understand now.

In other words, they are blackmailers using the threat of withholding votes to get tax dollars. Some of which are my tax dollars!

I’ve never seen a “community organizer” who rolled up their sleeves and tried to get area residents to improve their lot by the residents’ own resources. Why is that?

Didn’t Mr. Obama’s community organizer activities take place during the Clinton Administration?

For those benighted among you who choose to rhapsodize over Mr. O’s “community organizer” schtick, this little article will let you know just what such an organizer does.

A virus, is more like it.

So what’s new? We’re human. Some of these might be of a kind that you can not forgive (though I suspect you are seeking such an argument); you might explain that with specifics and logic.

Fred, you can keep linking to some of the same complaints and you can keep thinking they prove something. But by linking to the same old arguments on different posts here, by choosing not in any way to make an argument that such links apply to the arguments of the posts, you are insulting those of us who spend our time here because we believe that we will be engaged in some real discussion and those of us who have attempted (perhaps not always brilliantly but nonetheless have made an effort) to develop an argument.

This isn’t your blog – and comments are not posts. Your failure to distinguish between them indicates a weak understanding of argument, rhetorical situations, good manners, and how much patience the posters are willing to extend to you.

I realize that more than one comment per week is about all you good folks care to get from me …

I personally do not care as long as you extend the common curtsy to stay on topic. Instead, you seem to regard 90% of the post as mere launching points for whatever topic you decided to think about when you rolled out bed that morning.

So, a “community organizer” differs from an ordinary citizen, how exactly?

So, did Palin “censor books” or merely voice an opinion about which books the library should carry? Did she “carry out a Stalinist purge” (and isn’t great to finally see Leftist turning on Stalin?) or did she carrry out her campaign promise to reform city government by clearing out the deadwood and the corrupt?

Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies.

And it’s no surprise that, after eight years of George Bush, millions of people have found that by coming together in their local communities they can change the course of history. That promise is what our campaign has been about from the beginning.

“Throughout our history, ordinary people have made good on America’s promise by organizing for change from the bottom up. Community organizing is the foundation of the civil rights movement, the women’s suffrage movement, labor rights, and the 40-hour workweek. And it’s happening today in church basements and community centers and living rooms across America.

Meanwhile, we still haven’t gotten a single idea during the entire Republican convention about the economy and how to lift a middle class so harmed by the Bush-McCain policies.”

sure: let the free market take care of it all–s: market took sharp drop after the enlightening speeches last evening.

the librarian, aghast, refused and had her job threatened. Obama did not do such things but perhaps he did not realize the political clout he had.

Obama’s from a world in which no one pays a penalty for being wrong. Indeed it can be nearly impossible even know when one is wrong.

I think he will face a cut and dried decisions as president and freeze.
