Thank You Sarah Palin

This is the right tone.



In a nation ripped asunder by right-wing policies, community organizers are often the last line of defense. Leaders of this nation like Martin Luther King, Cesar Chavez, Susan B. Anthony, even Thomas Paine and Sam Adams, were community organizers. As this fellow writes today, Jesus was a community organizer and Pilate was a governor.

The question, of course, is whether or not this indignation can be sustained and loud enough. There are a lot of factors working against this, like the no liberals on the teevee rule.

But a speech designed for the backlash, for the Orthogonians, can be turned right around if there's a sufficient amount of political will. And by the way, the reaction among the country wasn't universally positive, so there's an opening here.
