Dear media,

Sarah Palin, Rudy, and many Republicans just laughed at someone for being a community organizer in Chicago.

You were preparing for this narrative that Palin would rise above your asinine B.S., but this is serious.  Let's not kid ourselves, she could have said anything and you would have been jumping up and down.  Republicans claim to be all about charity and individuals deciding to serve their country.  If they decide to do this in other ways than in the military, that doesn't mean that they should be given a pass to disparage their service.

This is why I'm a Democrat and why I support Barack Obama for President.  I like the idea of people commiting themselves to public service.  Whether it's through the military or through any old public service, anyone seriously trying to dedicate themselves to the well-being of other people is a good thing.  To say that it was a good job to make fun of someone else for involving themselves in the lives of so many people in need destroys all of your credibility. 

*sigh*
