They could also be using the word to describe a historical fact, a title which Obama did wear. So what's the big deal? Is HE ashamed of the title he once wore? Or is it that only black people can serve in that position, and I am not aware of it? The title has nothing to do with being black or liberal. It is just something on Obama's resume, which would mean the same thing on a monkey's resume. Oh sorry, was that racist? Only if you have the preconceived and WRONG idea that certain human races are more closely related to monkeys. It's called a chip on your shoulder in some circles. Otherwise, a monkey is just another animal. I could have said jackass, would that have been better? This word is in reference to nothing more than Obama's past experience, which includes the position of Community Organizer. The corresponding experience on Palin's resume is Mayor. So can only white people serve in that position? Give me a break! It is spoken simply to compare job qualifications. I guess the Republicans believe Mayor makes Palin more qualified. Remember, she's running for VICE, and neither position persuades me in any way for or against anybody. It's just one of the many factors for voters to consider as they make their decisions. There is no racism displayed here, at least not on the part of the Republican candidates. If it is important to you, study what a Community Organizer does vs. what a Mayor does, and judge for yourself who is more qualified, remembering that Obama is running for PRESIDENT, not VICE.
Community organizing is a process by which poeple living in close proximity to each other, are brought together to act in their common self-interest. Community organizers act as area-wide coordinators of programs for different agencies in an attempt to meet community needs for various services. Community organizers are often times foot soldiers for the local political machine. Political machines were prevalent in large U.S. cities during the first half of the twentieth century, especially around the time of Al Capone. Today, very only few political machines thrive, with Chicago's machine being among the most powerful. Community organizers work actively, as do other types of social workers, in community councils of social agencies and in community-action groups. At times the role of community organizers overlaps that of the social planners.[1].------------ ------------------------- ---------------Additional ly, many immigrants were unfamiliar with the sense of civic duty that was part of American republicanism
"Community Organizer" is just another term for anyone opposed to representing the status quo, which in this case represents the minority class - a classic Republican ploy to frown upon ALL of the people, just a select few. Who are these Nazi's who proclaim judgement?
Thom Hartmann thinks this too, but I don't. It's true that Obama's critics have been running down the job of community organizer, but I don't think it's racist.
one need only look at his shady 'friendships'
wha?
did you just imply that Obama is involved with organised crime?
I don't think she's saying black, but she is belittling him, and Sarah Palin has no business belittling anyone.

how do you come to that conclusion?
Thom Hartmann thinks this too, but I don't. It's true that Obama's critics have been running down the job of community organizer, but I don't think it's racist.
How in the hell did he come to that conclusion?
Well, they could also be using that word instead of the dreaded L word, Liberal.
