The Dem’s answer to Palin’s smears

Both Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin specifically mocked Barack’s experience as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago more than two decades ago, where he worked with people who had lost jobs and been left behind when the local steel plants closed.

Let’s clarify something for them right now.

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.

So let me get this straight. Someone 20 years ago, making the effort to help others who have lost jobs, etc. was in a line of work worthy of ridicule and it’s allright to look down on that sort of thing.

I mean we want our President and Vice President to be a pedigree of such that efforts like that would be well beneath them, since that was not really “work”.

Too bad Obama was wasting his time with those losers 20 years ago and instead should have been mingling with the “right people” so his repertior would have been better…

eyes,

Your half-assed attempt at a sarcastic defense of Obama’s “repertior” [sic] might have some pertinence if Mr. Obama had something more applicable and substantive to offer as preparatory for his quest for the presidency.  He hasn’t.

Incidentally, either cv (curriculum vitae) or the more more common resume would be a far better choice than “repertior"… even if it was spelled correctly.

OBAMA EXPOSES SCHEUNEMANN’S MARXIST PROPAGANDA TACTICS

Neo-Con McCain’s foreign policy adviser, Neo-Marxist Scheunemann, is notorious for his role in successfully provoking the War against Iraq; and his failure to provoke total war against Iran, and his failure to defeat Russia in Ab-khazia and S. Os-setia. The illegal and un-patriotic Neo-Con Bush Iraq War sacrificed over a trillion dollars and the priceless lives of more than 4,000 young patriotic volunteers, for the sole benefit of the World condemned Judeofascist Israeli land robbers.

When Obama discovered that Scheunemann had been paid nearly $300,000 by Saak-ash-vili to provoke bellicose American opposition to Russia, in collusive support of Georgia’s bloody military offensive against ethnic Russian Georgians, he exposed this conflict of interest as motivating McCain’s insane outbursts of bellicose treasonous deception, “John McCain’s top foreign policy adviser lobbied for, and has a vested interest in, the Republic of Georgia and McCain has mirrored the position advocated by the government.”

That Neo-Con Bush now demands a billion dollars from Congress, to compensate Saak-ash-vili for starting his utterly disastrous war, suggests that this was part of the crooked deal. Tragically, these high crimes might get the Georgians a billion dollars in exchange for Ab-khazia and S. Os-setia, and burden the Americans with greater debt and inflation.

Wow bat one. Get a life, fat kid.

Bat one,

Barack Obama was a constitutional and civil rights law professor at the University of Chicago. Wouldn’t it be a nice change to have a president that was familiar with the freedoms and civil liberties our founding father fought for? Wouldn’t it be a nice change of pace to have a president that has read and understood the US Constitution?

Barack Obama was a constitutional and civil rights law professor at the University of Chicago.

Ward Churchill was a “professor” eoo.
What’s your point?

Without an honest exchange of ideas, how can a mind grow?

All the TRUE Republican candidates that most of these conservatives were going to vote for, before McCain won the election had less executive experience than Obama.

Who could of been willing to vote for Fred Thompson and then go and pretend that Obama doesn’t have enough experience is lying or dishonest.

I think we know who those folks are.....eh?  Rob, Robert and Bat???

wow,

Rest assured I am neither fat (6’1” 205), nor a kid (I’m a Vietnam vet).  And would not trade my life for that of anyone else, you included (the bumbling stupidity of adolescence would scare me).

Agnes,

Barack Obama was NOT a professor of anything.  He was a part-time lecturer, a position offered him as a favor Thomas G. Ayers, father of unrepentant Weatherman terrorist bomber, Bill Ayers.

As for those “freedoms and civil liberties” I would far prefer a president who has demonstrated through training, experience and accomplishment that he understands the proper role of government as imagined by those founders.  An Obama presidency, along with a leftwing Congress controlled by Reid and Pelosi would be a foreign affairs and domestic economy disaster, surpassing even that of Jimmy Carter.

H,

Your desperation is beginning to show, and though it is amusing and satisfying, it is also unseemly.

It is not pretense to decide that Obama doesn’t have enough experience, or much of any substantive experience for that matter, although that’s hardly the only reason to oppose his candidacy.

In my view, his positions on virtually all the major issues that face this country are wrong, his policy prescriptions are unwitting, counterproductive, and wrong, and his basic approach to government and the relationship between Americans and their federal government is wrong as well.

Finally, the idea of a Democrat in the White House and a Democrat-controlled Congress ought to be enough to scare any rational individual who loves this country and values our heritage of personal liberty.  What we need is less government and more personal freedom and responsibility.  Your Mr. Obama, not surprisingly, has it exactly backwards.

And so do you!

We tried it with a Republican President and Congress and look where it got us. 

The Republicans won’t even bring their President to their convention and their candidate tries to disown the last 8 years while still quoting him on education and economy.

Lestat,

The fact that congressional Republicans got it wrong, certainly doesn’t mean that Democrats, in either the White House or the Congress (or God save us, both!) would get it right.

Your party and your candidate are wrong on foreign affairs and defense policy, wrong on economic and tax policy, and most certainly, horribly wrong on the judicial appointments you’d make.

What you obviously cannot comprehend, for whatever reason (genetics or obstinacy) is that for most of us here its not the party that matters but the governing principles.  And when one party and one candidate demonstrate a consistent lack of principle or the consistently wrong ones, as do the Democrats and Obama, your argument, however simple-minded and alluring, just doesn’t impress.  Sorry!

Yes, full recovery and more from the Clinton recession and the Clinton-enabled attack on 9/11, a stop to appeasing and ignoring the terrorists, killing a great many of them, freeing the people of Afghanistan and Iraq to determine their own fate, instead of being oppressed subjects of murdering dictators, and much more.

Look at where it has gotten us!
The Dems would give it all away with their tax and spend policies, give away our advantage over the terrorists by cutting and running, and appease them instead of killing them and putting them out of business.
No, thanks!

Setting aside other details of Obama’s experience in Chicago politics, the statement that “A Community Organizer is a Chicago Style Machine Politics operative” is incorrect.  At the heart of community organizing more often than not means working against entrenched power and power-brokers, for the benefit of average citizens.  Please educate yourself on the the difficult, honest, and worthwhile work that community organizers have done in cities throughout the country, and continue to do.

At the heart of community organizing more often than not means working against entrenched power and power-brokers,

More often than not? Perhaps! But can you demonstrate a single instance of Obama standing against the entrenched power of the Chicago machine rather than bellying up to its bar? Any lasting benefit to his community other than a sad, $100,000 plywood gazebo in a “community garden” that may soon be razed and replaced with housing?

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
