"Community Organizer" sounds like "Union Organizer."

[bunkerbuster1]

To these people, "Union Organizer" means swarthy, scary, possibly-Italian or -Jewish mobbed-up goons.

That's why they use "Community Organizer" as a pejorative, in case you all have been scratching your heads these past few months as right wingers deride Obama's managerial experience.

1. Except that Union Organizers have actual responsibilities.

2. Community Organizer is code word for Commie / Socialist.

4. That too...

depending on what spin they're putting on it.

I think these days, what with the millions of dollars being spent to suppress union organizing, it's more likely that the corporate puppeteers want you to think of "union goons" when you year "Community Organizer."

But sure, "Community" can be made to sound like "Communist", and supposedly responsible, Very Serious pundits with big syndicated columns have already tried to apply the "Marxist" label to our party's nominee.

3. "Union"/"Communist" = EXCELLENT linguistic analysis of the raison d'etre here.
