How does a MAYOR not know what a community organizer does?

[onetwo]

And, more importantly, why would someone who made his name working at the "local" level MOCK one?

I was incensed.

1. rhetoric for the base

good for her. But her base won't be winning the election this year.

5. They provided Obama and Co. a HUGE opening. Hope they take full advantage.

2. The base of the GOP hate community organizers

They see people who organize community functions as being disruptors. That's why they prefer to donate their time at the country club.

3. She mocks average Americans with this swill

Members of our local PTA's, Kiwanis Clubs, Urban Development Associations all do Community Organizing on some level. This kind of rhetoric insults us all. I hope they don't get away with this kind of crap.

4. How does a VP candidate not know what a VP does?

It boggles the mind.

6. Well, when 617 people vote you in, how many people are there to organize and for what cause?

[JBoy]

7. She knows exactly what they are, and she hates them.

Community organizers fill in and bring to light the gaping holes left by failed government policies.

8. Looks like those skills from 20 YEARS AGO have served him well, no? 18 million organized &growing...

9. They're the ones Rudy sent the police to harass when he was mayor.

He knows who they are.

10. Because she was too busy finding out what lobbyists do? n/t

11. Depends on which mayor you mean

Two Repuke mayors were using that talking point last night.

Now I can almost understand Tundra Barbie's confusion, because there's not much of a community to organize where she comes from. But Rudy 9u11ani definitely should know better.

12. Rudy hated anything good happening in NYC if he couldn't take credit for it. NT

[WinkyDink]

13. Repeat after me: They. Will. Say. A. NY. THING. In this case, even mocking "faith-based" work!

14. Obviously they don't have any problems

up there in her heavenly hamlet.
