About Community Organizers

The tit-for-tat continues during the US Presidential elections.

Former New York Mayor, Rudy Giuliani belittled Obama saying that he was just a "community organizer". So what is Giuliani implying?.....Last time I looked it was still an honest way to earn a living.....Hey, my daddy was among other things also a community worker.

Palin, followed up with "I am just your average hockey mom" who became mayor and then governor. She mocked Obama's experiences, "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities."

Which brings us to...Was Jesus a community organizer? According to labor leader Cecil Roberts, Jesus was a community organizer, so was Martin Luther King and Moses.

You know Giuliani and Palin, it is also about the politics of race, ethnicity, privilege, economics, social class and gender.
