It’s more than nauseating that so many Republicans are still chortling after Alaska Gov. Sarah “Moose” Palin used her prime-time convention speech Wednesday to slam U.S. Sen. Barack Obama for serving as a lowly community organizer.

No doubt, GOP’ers thought she was being clever, but Palin was only doing what all Republican leaders do: obscuring the truth, twisting it to feed her own sordid ego while enriching herself at the expense of a rank-and-file party faithful whose gullibility is only outpaced by their staunch refusal to learn from history.

So, here it is: CityBlog’s last-ditch effort to bring you folks back from the brink before you vote for two lying, soulless cash whores who would love nothing better than to continue the totalitarian, tyrannical policies of a sitting president who cares as little for the U.S. Constitution as he does for the brave men and woman who have died to preserve it.

Have you forgotten that the unofficial head of your party, Jesus of Nazareth, was also a community organizer? We swear. We think a few guys even wrote about it in a book somewhere. We can’t recall the title of the work just now, but we hear it’s an all-time bestseller.

That’s right, conservatives, according to your most famous fairy tale, Jesus organized “the folks” and was murdered for working to restore the lives of so many broken people. People who had been pushed down their whole lives by a brutal foreign dictator and a homegrown religious establishment that wanted to present itself as the one, true solution to people’s problems. It’s been decades since we read fairy tales, but we think you’ll find the roots of an eye-opening daily devotional in Matthew 12:14, Mark 3:6 and Luke 6:11. (If that doesn’t convince you, try reading the entire New Testament. If that doesn’t open your eyes, then not even Jesus himself could heal your blindness.)

Down through the ages, lots of people have realized that organizing their communities against injustice and tyranny is the only way to move society forward: George Washington, the Minutemen (the Colonial militia, not the ’80s California punk outfit), Harriet Tubman, Gandhi, César Chávez, MLK and thousands of others.

Of course, what Palin won’t tell you is that she was also a community organizer. For years, Palin was a staunch member of the PTA, the largest volunteer child advocacy group in the nation. (Even the conservative Washington Times picked up on this here; scroll down to the 10th paragraph to read why she “got involved.”)

See? Signing up for movements you believe in and working for important causes isn’t a Democrat thing or a Republican thing. It’s a human thing. Why did Obama and Palin get involved? Because government wasn’t able to solve the problems they each cared most about.

A quick review of history shows Palin isn’t the only prominent reactionary to organize communities. So did perennial GOP faves Pat Robertson, Kenneth Copeland, Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed. Research those on your own.

Evidently, in the upside-down world of modern American politics being a community organizer is only a bad thing if you organize for the “wrong” cause.
