I cannot believe how the GOP, Giuilliani and Palin, can insult community organizers like that. Open mouth insert foot.
Community organizers are volunteers (they don't get paid) give their time to help their communities. What is wrong with that? Then during their convention, they are seen holding up signs saying "Service" are they confused?
Community organizers=service to community
George H W Bush talked about 1000 points of light regarding volunteer work in the community. So were his remarks back then stupid?
"I have spoken of a thousand points of light, of all the community organizations that are spread like stars throughout the Nation, doing good. I will go to the people and the programs that are the brighter points of light, and I will ask every member of my government to become involved. The old ideas are new again because they are not old, they are timeless: duty, sacrifice, commitment, and a patriotism that finds its expression in taking part and pitching in."
—George H. W. Bush, 1988
Someone in another blog said it best:
"Jesus Christ was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a Governor."
Clearly the GOP doesn't have my interest at heart.
