What's a "Community Organizer," Anyway?

Lots of people have been asking that question. His work as a "Community Organizer" seems to have been the centerpiece of Obama's cachectic resume, yet he and his supporters have been reticent about the details of precisely what he did. Stanley Kurtz has been diligently investigating the nature of Obama's activities as a "Community Organizer." To no one's great surprise, it turns out that the title is really just a euphemism for "rabble rouser."

You say you disagree? Then maybe you ought to read Stanley's latest article in the New York Post, "O's Dangerous Pals." Here's an excerpt:

...the Obama-supervised Woods Fund report acknowledges the problem of getting donors and foundations to contribute to radical groups like ACORN – whose confrontational tactics often scare off even liberal donors and foundations.

Indeed, the report brags about pulling the wool over the public's eye. The Woods Fund's claim to be "nonideological," it says, has "enabled the Trustees to make grants to organizations that use confrontational tactics against the business and government 'establishments' without undue risk of being criticized for partisanship."

Hmm. Radicalism disguised by a claim to be postideological. Sound familiar?

Does that whet your curiosity? It should.
