Palin and McCain are mocking everyday people & their capacity for rebuilding America

[KittyWampus]

Isn't mocking Community Organizers basically mocking everyday people & their capacity for change?

How is that a winning strategy?

It's one thing to subtly pick on the notion that people who've lost their jobs or are under duress financially.


Its another to outright mock them.

AMERICA, PALIN AND MCCAIN ARE MOCKING YOU

THEY WANT YOU TO EITHER HATE EACH OTHER OR JUST SIT AT HOME DEPRESSED AND SUICIDAL

1. It's more than that. Community Organizers always -- always -- work in depressed areas.

This was a shot at urban minorities (Palin's code word for "Negroes").

2. I hadn't thought of that. That is cynical. But Community Organizers have worked in Appalachia

or am I wrong?

4. Community organizers can work anywhere, including Appalachia. Her context, however, ...

... is Obama's work in Chicago.

She was appealing to a segment of the universe we don't understand.

3. Don't underestimate this slam...

The average voter doesn't know what the term means. At best it sounds like "Union Organizer"; at worst it sounds like something that you only find in big cities which, as we all know, aren't part of "real America".

5. It was a dig

at the Obama campaign's suggestion that she did not have much experience, being the mayor of a small town.

6. the morning shows should invite a community organizer on there!

to talk about their work, and the history of community organizers. If they were real journalists, they would do that.
