I thought community organizers were good

The Obama supporting blogs and bloggers are scandalized.

They're shocked that opponents of Obama's health care reform plan are organizing in opposition.

And, they think they've found a "smoking gun" - - a memo being distributed by various conservative national organizations to local affiliates and members which contains suggested protest tactics and guidelines for (nonviolent) disruptive behavior.

This behavior simply appalls the pro Obama bloggers.

Of course, these pro Obama folks spent the entire presidential campaign telling us that being a community organizer was a fine and noble thing, that organizing protests and pressure groups was a higher calling, and that "community organizer" was sufficient qualification for the presidency.

Whatever your position on the proposed health care bill, you have to admit that it's pretty hypocritical for Obama supporters to now oppose community organizing as somehow illicit.
