Warriors of Like Mind

This post is a follow-up to Reporting for Duty.  Bertha Lewis, the chief organizer, of the noble Association of Community Organizations for Reform-Now (ACORN) lays out the truth regarding the voter suppression inquisition whipped up by the GOP.  I love her beautiful defiance.  As a point in cool contrast, Barack has sought to carefully explain his limited work on ACORN’s behalf, in an obvious effort to avoid giving the GOP any bonus ammunition.  This despite the fact that the whole charge of voter fraud is itself fraudulent.  If there is one intrinsic difference between myself and a man of major political aspiration like Senator Obama, it is that when informed of something like the truly patriotic work of ACORN my first inclination is to embrace and join them, while his is to maintain a proper distance- ever mindful of the glare of the wider body politic.  And let us not forget that Obama began his political career as a community organizer.

The overarching struggle requires both those who would seek to lead intrepid bands of guerrillas, with no care as to how it plays in Iowa, and those who wish to merely co-opt the once antagonistic heartland.
