I Honestly Believe Sarah Palin And Her Speech Writers Have No Clue What Community Organizers Do
Expect them to get hit hard about that, because right now community organizers across this nation are trying to save people's homes, get them healthcare, and help them find jobs.

She mocked the hardships people across the country are experiencing.

They have proven that up in Alaska, Sarah Palin is out of touch with what the common person in the lower 48.

1. The speech was written to impress a bunch of home schoolers who also have no clue
The speech was for the freepers who have never experienced and urban environment. The people who are targeted by that speech live in a bubble and get their news from talk radio; those folks loved it.

10. I'm a homeschooler and a community organizer.
:hi:

Lots of people don't have a clue about homeschooling or the wide variety of families who choose that option.

3. They organize, but call it "church"/"AIP".
Same deal. Exception: You have to be an anointed red neck RW'er to "organize". When liberals do it, it's "dangerous".

4. Population of Chicago- 2.8M... Alaska- 670,053
So, who had the tougher job?

I think we know the answer to that...

5. Minimalizing the service of community organizers is an insult to Obama, Dr. King, and Chavez.
They were the backbone of change on the streets before D.C. caught up.

7. Most people don't think of that when they hear "community organizer"
And, I know this is not true, but many people when they think "community organizer" of an angry black preacher/activist organizing a protest march or a group of liberals organizing an anti-war protest.

It's part of the message to paint Obama as a radical and too liberal for America.

8. Respectfully disagree.
I think they know exactly who community organizers are, and what they do. That is why she attacked community organizers.

11. If Matthew Scully helped write her speech then he certainly knows what a community organizer does
He's an animal rights activist... he certainly knows.

Now, if it was that dickwad that works for the McShame camp (as I've seen reported) then probably not.

12. Three weeks ago she wasn't sure what the VP does.
I'm not confident she knows much of anything. Well, other than being snarky.
