I don't know that I'd agree with that -- seems like a purposefully limited description of "community organizing." Conservatives do their fair share of registration and get out the vote efforts. Then there are the right-to-life movements, the taxpayers groups, etc.

That, I agree with. I was only responding to the suggestion that Palin and Giuliani's remarks were specifically focused on Obama. They weren't, because Palin and Giuliani knew that targeting (and making fun of) "community organizers" generally would have an energizing effect on their base.
