Time for a Sarah Palin shirt! Get on it!

"Q. Um... so does he alphabetize the community?
A. More often he uses color coding."

Oh man, that is the best line I've heard since Palin's speech.

Frank can't get on the shirt as he has a real job. Maybe Cadet Happy can get that organized for us.

Seems like a Community Organizer is kind of like the D&D dungeon master - he pretends he's smarter and better than everyone else even though he's sitting around the same kitchen table in the same crappy apartment eating out of the same bowl of Cheetos.

I agree with #2.

Color coding... *snicker*

How does a community organizer organinize a community...drug dealers over there, homeless over there, etc

Huh, and I always thought a "community organizer" was English for "commissar".
You learn something new every day.

"Without the organizing there would be riots and cannibalism!"

And laughter! I't happening here.

I wonder if BO "organized" anything at all...or just voted present?

But, wait! I have more questions.

What majors do I need in college to prepare for this career?

Where do I apply?

If I lose this job will I have unemployment benefits?

Thanks for the info. I guess I pictured it being more like the people that come in and help you make more effective use of your closet space. Just more closets.

Speaking of organizing, Frank, you need to fix your buggy website. Whole sections load blank; funny postings and their comments seem to disappear (sometimes temporarily) into an SQL bit bucket. I hope it's not the result of SQL injection attacks or something like that.

[Yeah, I'm trying to figure out why that's happening. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of website debug time penciled in. -Ed.]

community organizer is a fancy word for what used to be called a rabble rouser.

Were Jim Jones and Hitler community organizers?

Q: What if we didn't want a community organizer, but instead decided to elect a town council, board of education, stuff like that?

A: All that elected stuff is crap. The unenlightened are always getting it wrong, worrying about petty stuff like "my job," "my country," and "my family." It stands in the way of real progress. That's why people like you don't get to choose your own organizers. We choose them for you!

Q: So, if you can't be voted into a position of trust, usurp it.

A: Well, you have to be pretty organized to do that, right? Proof of our expertise! That'll be 500 bucks. I'll just take it right from your paycheck, you'll never miss it.

I hear community organizers, whatever that is, are pissed at Sarah Palin's comment about community organizers. Really, they took a break from organizing communities to complain. Because of that cannibalism, human sacrifice and poker are now rampant in the communities they were organizing before they had to stop their vitally important community organizing. And of course they blame Bush.

If I was one of those schmucks I'd thread very lightly around her, I hear community organizer tastes like moose, and she already knows how to kill and field dress moose. Draw your own conclusions.

Community Organizer = Rabble Rouser.

Yeah, #18, or 'black gangbanger from the hood' who steps up in the world to black Socialist Community Organizer from the Brotherhood.

Q: What if I don't live in a qualified community? And who decides if I live in one?

A: You are obviously not an urbanite, in which case, you must resort to clinging to your religion and your shotgun.

Community organizer = leftover from the war on poverty (Thanks LBJ!).

Your tax dollars funding lawsuits to force the redistribution of wealth.

vote McCain a true American.
Obama, born in Nigeria

[Yeah, that's the reason we don't want to vote for Obama. -Ed.]

Community Organizer: In the 60's,the center guy standing at the street corner directing people on which store had the best looting prospects.

In Chicago, a politician who can stretch 1 vote into 5 and make it look legal.

In SF, one who finds illegals and solicits them to vote in more liberals.

Community organizing can better be understood by looking at this.KGB defector

You want more RECENT Barack community organizing? Enjoy this about Acorn

And this should also help you out

Or maybe you want another one?

Oh what the heck, try this too?

Finally, another bit about the community organization named Acorn

I tried and tried and tried but too tired to create these links properly. Sorry.

Anyone see the stats today on the community Obama organized? More people murdered there this summer than troops killed in Iraq. I think the post is at Hot Air or Ace of Spades...

I remember times when a mentally challenged kid would suddenly try to be in charge and make rules for everyone else...that resulted in a beating.

I guess in black neighborhoods, instead of a beating they make him community organizer.

That post about Dumbo's murder riddled community is at Jammie Wearing Fool...

Very good.
For the serious side of things read this article:

This is so good in its so-goodness.

Finally, an explanation of what a community organizer actually does - organize a community.
We could use one on our Indian Reservation to help organize the community because as I understand it the role of a community organizer is to organize the community. Organization will bring the reservation together; and in order to do this we need a community organizer. So please send this message to the community organizers looking to organize the Native American community members here. If Barack Obama is not available to organize our community, please send Joe Biden as our community organizer. What a HEAD of HAIR this white man has.

Damn, that was funny. And I'll be voting for Obama (I know, no accounting for taste; and yes, a few of us liberals have a sense of humor).

Me, I always thought community organizer was some sort of make-work job for sociology majors.

I can't believe the comments here. Neanderthals. Without Community Organizers I doubt that there is even ONE dead person who would be able to exercise their Constitutional right to vote. Shame on you all.

I've noticed the crime around a place gets a lot more exciting when it gets organized.

I wonder if the job is sort of like a community capo?

Here's a write up describing EXACTLY what being a community organizer is all about: http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2008/09/when-americas-c.html

I was a community organizer in the Bronx from 1984 to 1987. I was paid by the Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition.

I organized tenant associations by going door to door in apartment buildings where there severe deterioration, an absence of heat and hot water to ask people if they would talk with their neighbors about common problems and what ought to be done about them.

I organized a neighborhood that was overrun by open air drug dealing - crack had just hit the streets - again by knocking on doors, including the rectories of the neighborhoods diverse congregations - Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, and Baptist - to find people willing to work with neighbors to figure out who could and ought to be doing something about the problem at hand. In this case it was first the police department that decline to enforce the law in a community that was poor and overwhelmingly African-American and Latino. We talked about what potential power we had to get the police to start protecting people. That included getting public attention to what was in fact being allowed to happen in our community.

Ironically, one of the people with whom we met was then Attorney General Rudolph Giuliani, who was absolutely phenomenal. He was the first public official who actually took the problem seriously and was willing to take real action to address it. Giuliani was a big part of the success we had in the Bronx.

It's probably true that many communities don't need "organizers." Very diverse, urban communities where people don't know their neighbors, where people go to different churches, may speak different languages, etc. are different. Their underlying values are the same - they want to be safe, to have their children succeed, to have basic services in exchange for paying a rent, etc. what they may not have however to have those values influence public institutions or negligent housing providers.

To: irritations.

You're so right! That's the problem on our rez's, too, it's just that no one realized it! We need a narrowly-educated stranger to come here and tell us what we need, since we're too frickin' dumb to figure it out for ourselves. Why, I'm sure three years of telling us what to do would qualify that outsider to be leader of the free world!

If only such an individual existed - Perhaps if we all pray, we'll find such a Messiah.

Tom on the rez.

To Irritations - You can pull the plugs, but you'll be Biden your time if you think much scalp will follow.

"I'm not unemployed, I'm a community organizer."

Didn't any of you read the Wiki definition?!

A community organizer is akin to a "SOCIAL PLANNER"!
Hmmm. What's a social planner? I'm getting dizzy.

In the end---reading the Wiki definition---how does "community organizer" differ from "political party"?

I guess you really do need your community organized if all the women are single mothers with 5 children by 5 different men none of them ex-husbands. Now that is disorganized. Maybe a community organizer helps all those kids get matched with fathers? Yeah, if only.

paid community organizer = nitwit cousin of politician who can't get a real job

Channeling Don Lafontaine.....
In a world which is totally lacking in organization, He is back!!!
And this time he wants Pilates job.
JESUS PART 2: THE OBAMA CHRONICLES

I do not understand how some one who can not challenge a person talking wrong things for 20 years in front of him, can challenge any thing to change. Obama listened his minister for 20 years and did not speak to him to correct the minister's wrong view about his country. I do not wish to take 21 years to see if he can change any wrong thing to right as my president. By the way, he can not run the country for more than 8 years even if he is lucky. I do not have to know any other fact to decide whom to vote.

Brien (Post #36),

Thanks for relating your experiences. It was interesting to read that.

Joe Biden is not fit to run for office!!! He said
Hillary Clinton might have been a better choice.
This shows total lack of self esteem, confidence, and just plain leadership ability.
Barack Obama should not be elected because he compared Sarah Palin to a pig with lipstick. This shows a complete lack of judgement and leadership ability as well as showing once and for all how
inexperienced he is.
To seal the deal, he hardly mentions American
godliness, the virtues of killing wild animals while hovering in a helicopter, and the sacredness of motherhood. He's not even a tortured
war veteran. He knows nothing about what is really
crucial to America.
He even sounds like an effete snob. Where the hell
does a black man get off talking highbrow to us
bible/gun toting American patriots.
I say vote for McCain and Palin. They stand for
what is really important: waging war, thumping the bible, and spouting platitudes.
Heil McCain and Palin!!!
