Obama responds to the Disparagement of the Work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I looked up a definition of community organizing: Community organizing is a process by which people are brought together to act in common self-interest. You know sort of how MLK, Jr. brought people together to overcome racial injustice. Is that something we can laugh at now? Is that not work deserving of the respect of our society?

The RNC last night was a disgrace to thinking society. It reminded me of a church revival, where no one questions whether what the pastor is saying has any basis in truth, but just blindly follows.

Can you imagine if the DNC had made a mockery of "faith-based" organizations? What exactly are faith based organizations, but community organizers with a religious viewpoint. It is indecent and disrespectful for anyone to mock faith based organizations or community organizers the way Sarah Palin, Guiliani and the RNC did last night.

The Obama campaign has responded by way of email to their supports and they said it best:

But worst of all -- and this deserves to be noted -- they insulted the very idea that ordinary people have a role to play in our political process....

Both Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin specifically mocked Barack's experience as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago more than two decades ago, where he worked with people who had lost jobs and been left behind when the local steel plants closed.

Let's clarify something for them right now.

Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies.
