Community Organizers Fight Back
4th September 2008
I am not making this up.
“Community organizers work in neighborhoods that have been hit hardest by the failing economy,” said John Raskin, founder of Community Organizers of America and a community organizer on the West Side of Manhattan. “The last thing we need is for Republican officials to mock us on television when we’re trying to rebuild the neighborhoods they have destroyed. Maybe if everyone had more houses than they can count, we wouldn’t need community organizers. But I work with people who are getting evicted from their only home. If John McCain and the Republicans understood that, maybe they wouldn’t be so quick to make fun of community organizers like me.”
So basically “community organizers” are left-wing agitators who try to herd the Underclass together in order to exert political pressure to squeeze more oink from the public trough. I notice that these people seem to flourish primarily in large, Democrat-run urban areas, like New York and Chicago, where “enlightened public policy” have destroyed families and neighborhoods for the last 40 years. One hand washes the other, I guess.
Wonder what these people do for a day job? I suspect that it all comes out of the taxpayers’ pockets ultimately.
