My friend and colleague (yes, we are both tainted community organizers), Greg Morishige, wrote this short introduction to a YouTube piece on community organizing, with a link to the video:
"The complete disrespect of Obama's history as a community organizer is offensive, not just to Obama, but to the history of America and those who have fought to defend human rights. This YouTube clip does an exceptional job of saying just that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IMTDLS0k8k"
I also posted this comment about the video to Facebook, which I would like to share further on this blog and beyond:
"As one of those community development folks who were wasting our time not working on Wall Street, but instead helping our communities grow and prosper, I was not only personally mystified by the disrespect shown, but it also further convinced me of the ignorance of John McCan't, Sarah Playin', and the "speech righters" of the Bush/Rove agenda. I guess they forgot that voter registration (of all parties), small business development, soccer (and hockey) moms, the Minutemen (of old and new), PTA, business chambers of commerce, etc., etc. all come about through community organizing and development. Let's organize them out of this election..."
Please forward at will...
