But you know, this is just partisan BS. Community Organizers probably skew heavily Democratic and it's not a big risk for the GOP to make fun. It'd be the same with Democrats talking about corporate fat cats. It's not going to really make your own base mad.
Personally, I doubt there was anyone in American who said, “I was all about John McCain and the Republican party, but darn it, they're making fun of community organizers.”
And I doubt any Democratic mayors of small towns switched parties when Palin's experience was minimized either.
As Michelle Obama might say, this conversation isn't helping my kids. I'm happy to have it with you, but I don't think it matters much.
And even as someone who wants to see abortion restricted, I'm usually creeped out by Right to Life. I think they frequently do a lot to set back the cause more than they help it.

Then you haven't met my boyfriend. He's leaning away from McCain/Palin because he thinks she's unqualified and the community organizer railing really pissed him off. I think it might be hard for Republicans to understand how much that part of Obama's background impresses people who understand the reality of grad school loans - he could have taken a six figure job and didn't.
