Too good to be believed: Dems lob the ultimate softball

The brain surgeons at Democrats.org have a news flash.

...Both Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin specifically mocked Barack's experience as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago more than two decades ago, where he worked with people who had lost jobs and been left behind when the local steel plants closed... Let's clarify something for them right now.

Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies.

Do tell. For the last 77 years, Democrats have controlled Chicago. It's called the "Chicago Democratic Machine", for those keeping score at home.

The current Democratic mayor, Richard Daley, doesn't think there is a "Chicago Democratic Machine", however.

Mayor Richard Daley said Thursday he laughed off former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s description of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama as a product of Chicago’s machine politics... "I don’t know where we get this, I mean, this idea that there is a big Democratic machine going on. Chicago and the metropolitan area is very Democratic and the state is."

Problem is, Daley also thinks -- because Chicago outlawed the possession of firearms by law-abiding citizens -- that the city's murder-rate dropped.

123 people shot dead in Chicago this summer: An estimated 123 people were shot and killed over the summer. That's nearly double the number of soldiers killed in Iraq over the same time period... an estimated 245 people were shot and wounded in the city...

...The South Side's Englewood District, which includes the Englewood and West Englewood neighborhoods on the city's South Side, fared the worst over the summer. A total of 14 people were shot dead there, and 48 were shot and wounded.

You may recognize the neighborhood of Englewood.


It's the district State Senator Obama represented for eight years after his stint as a "community organizer". It's filled with decaying, uninhabitable housing units "refurbished" by his friend Tony Rezko and others who greased the skids of the Chicago non-machine.

Community organizing: how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies (i.e., today's Democratic Party in urban America).

THWACK!!!!!!!!! ...ZBONK!!!... zbonk!!!

And that was me hitting Democrat.org's pathetic hanging curve out of the park, into the parking lot, off the hood of Obama's Lexus, and into the door of Jeremiah Wright's Mercedes-Benz.

ZWEEEEEEEEE... ZWEEEEEEEEE... ZWEEEEEEEEE...

Oh, and those are the car alarms going off.
