Hey Sarah and Rudy, why didn't you read THIS before you gave your idiotic speeches last week??

[George II]

Both ridiculed "community organizers" and Rudy didn't even know what they are!

I just happened to stumble across this today:

YES! That's right, a link to the official bush White House website:

"President George W. Bush listens as Edith Espinoza, Administrative Assistant, Chicano Federation, introduces him at the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives National Conference Thursday, June 26, 2008, in Washington, D.C. The President opens his remarks, "How beautiful was that? From being a homeless mother of two to introducing the President of the United States. There has to be a higher power. I love being with members of the armies of compassion, foot soldiers in helping make America a more hopeful place. Every day you mend broken hearts with love. You mend broken lives with hope. And you mend broken communities with countless acts of extraordinary kindness."

U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs James B. Peake keynoted the event, and highlighted ways the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) engages America’s faith-based and community organizations and volunteers to more effectively meet the needs of America’s 24 million veterans and their families.

7. Please.

That website is talking about community organizations, not community organizers! Community organizers are commies, but community organizations are faith-based initiatives. Can't you dang libruls understand the difference?

:sarcasm: obviously.
