| Jim Treacher A commenter at QandO was nice enough to explain the difference between Jesus was a community organizer. Pilate was a governor. To which I replied: And last night was the crucifixion. Hey, you know who else was a community organizer? Don Corleone. P.S. Here's a funny thing: If you Google "Jesus was a community organizer" "Pilate was a governor", suddenly that moronic non sequitur is all over the place. Hundreds of results, and I'll give you a cookie made of dreams if you can find one dated before Sept. 4. Purely spontaneous, right? Way to get rid of the "He thinks he's the Messiah" meme, geniuses. Astroturfing sucks, but if it helps turn even more people away from a witless crybaby like Obama, who wants to be president because otherwise it's not fair, that works for me. We are the spam we've been waiting for. And you'll never guess where this wonderful, poetic grassroots slogan "originated". It's attributed only to "a reader." Kos is such an idiot that he can't even come up with a fake name to put it under. How about "Sparack Spobama"? "Spavid Spaxelrod"? (I wonder if this Kos page will be deleted, just like the one that launched the utterly deranged conspiracy theory about Palin's youngest son? Get the disinfo out there, and then remove the source. Orwell was an amateur.) P.P.S. If you're a community organizer and you want to help organize a community of other community organizers to stop the mockery of whatever the hell it is you do: http://organizersfightback.wordpress.com/ They're demanding an apology from Sarah Palin. Perhaps they haven't been paying attention. I think that'll happen the day after Joe Biden gets through a full paragraph without reminding people of a much less likable Ted Baxter. Instapundit adds: Reader Thomas Prewitt emails that the astroturf is Biblically inaccurate: "Jesus was actually not a community organizer. He was the Messiah, and he left the organizational stuff to the apostles who started the early church. The true organizer of the New Testament was actually Paul. His letters to the different churches mentored those communities. And, he lived a life much more like that of John McCain. Many of his letters were written from prison where he was beaten." Well, that last comparison may be a stretch . . . |

| #1 We have many, many "community organizers" in Colorado Springs. They're called "churches", and they do a bang-up job. To me, the role of "community organizer", as applied to Barrack Obama and most of the "people" responding with this "grassroots movement" are busybodies that get in the way of real work being done, and parasites living off other people's money. |
