A community organizer is someone who assists in partaking in participatory democracy. Populists, so to speak. Every major politician who wants more than 5 votes needs to participate in community organizing in some fashion. You don't get people's votes by telling them to #### themselves.

My vote is going toward someone who's run several times for office as an active organizer and someone who's actually done things to make the lives of others better (nothing beats someone getting things done opposed to a preacher), so by actions gets the vote from me.

However, if what you're referring to is either Democrat or Republican Presidential candidates, they're both U.S. Senators.

Besides, some of us like to give you what you want, because you become inordinantly pleased with yourself when you get it, which makes me exceedingly happy too.

It behooves you think that I'm sure. But you're quite wrong.

The burning torch / pitchfork witch-hunting crowd were never interested in having a conversation - because its too dangerous to their preconceived ideas.

As I've reported previously, Obama's community organizing days involved training grievance-mongers from the far-left ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). The ACORN mob is infamous for its bully tactics (which they dub "direct actions"); Obama supporters have recounted his role in organizing an ambush on a government planning meeting about a landfill project opposed by Chicago's minority lobbies.

With benefactors like Obama in office, ACORN has milked nearly four decades of government subsidies to prop up chapters that promote the welfare state and undermine the free market, as well as some that have been implicated in perpetuating illegal immigration and voter fraud. Since I last detailed ACORN's illicit activities in this column in June (see "The ACORN Obama knows," June 19, 2008), the group continues to garner scrutiny from law enforcement:

Last week, Milwaukee's top election official announced plans to seek criminal investigations of 37 ACORN employees accused of offering gifts to sign up voters (including prepaid gas cards and restaurant cards) or falsifying driver's license numbers, Social Security numbers or other information on voter registration cards.

Last month, a New Mexico TV station reported on the child rapists, drug offenders and forgery convicts on ACORN's payroll. In July, Pennsylvania investigators asked the public for help in locating a fugitive named Luis R. Torres-Serrano, who is accused "of submitting more than 100 fraudulent voter registration forms he collected on behalf of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now to county election officials." Also in July, a massive, nearly $1 million embezzlement scheme by top ACORN officials was exposed.

ACORN's political arm endorsed Obama in February and has ramped up efforts to register voters across the country. In the meantime, completely ignored by the mainstream commentariat and clean-election crusaders, the Obama campaign admitted failing to report $800,000 in campaign payments to ACORN. They were disguised as payments to a front group called "Citizen Services, Inc." for "advance work."

Jim Terry, an official from the Consumer Rights League, a watchdog group that monitors ACORN, noted: "ACORN has a long and sordid history of employing convoluted Enron-style accounting to illegally use taxpayer funds for their own political gain. Now it looks like ACORN is using the same type of convoluted accounting scheme for Obama's political gain." With a wave of his magic wand, Obama amended his FEC forms to change the "advance work" to "get-out-the-vote" work.

Now, don't you dare challenge his commitment to following tax and election laws. And don't you even think of entertaining the possibility that The One exploited a nonprofit supposedly focused on helping low-income people for political gain.

He was just "organizing" his "community." Guffaw.

grievance-mongers from the far-left ACORN

ACORN members across the country work to raise the minimum wage or enact living wage policies; eliminate predatory financial practices by mortgage lenders, payday lenders, and tax preparation companies; win the development of affordable housing and community benefits agreements; improve the quality of and funding for urban public schools; rebuild New Orleans; and pass a federal and state ACORN Working Families Agenda, including paid sick leave for all full time workers.

We will document the benefits consumers receive from the democratization of credit through research and analysis.

• We will quantify the costs consumers will bear if these options are restricted.

However, any illegal activity that ACORN permits, I agree, like any other large organisation, should be investigated.

Nope, it is not lazy, just putting the question to you my liberal loving Barry Hussien Ovomit fans out there. Please tell us just what is a Community Organizer and what does that do to qualify for President of the USA? As opposed to a Governor of a state I would suppose.

Obama bashing again while pretending to be a mail-order bride from the Ukraine who magically knows the ins and outs of American politics, Whoooohooooo!

Sometimes he's a he, sometimes he's a crazy b!tch from the Ukraine who has a fetish for American politics. Luckily, someone here at work was able to check out is IP, tracked him down on MySpace and found his photo. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, ZQT: (notice the feminine qualities)
