      <![CDATA[@17: "It's easy to mock a community organizer"<br />
<br />
Of course they see the GOTV value of community organizers, they mock because it doesn't offer anyone enough profit and it's not macho, like the Captains of Industry Republicans are blah blah blah.<br />
<br />
Effectiveness and productivity is utterly frightening to them.

      <![CDATA[That last link in the post - on how advanced Obama's national organization is compared to Romney's - should be a white-knuckler for any Republican.<br />
<br />
Here you have Romney, who is spending most of his money and energy trying to quell an unelectable yokel who has no national organization and practically no money. <br />
<br />
And then there's Obama, who will have 50+ times the money than Santorum had, who has over 2300 events planned already, 500 phone banks planned for Florida, over 200 offices actively campaigning NOW. <br />
<br />
It's easy to mock a community organizer, until you realize that community outreach an invaluable element of a campaign. It's surprising that Romney doesn't seem to realize this, but then, he's used to just buying things.

      <![CDATA[It's a stupid ad - if you don't already like Obama, then you don't see his words as evidence that Romney's lying; you see his words as evidence that Obama lies (and hence Romney is telling the truth). There's no representation of "independent fact checking" in the video, so except for Romney's lie about Obama not mentioning the words debt/deficit, the rest just leaves the viewer having to decide whom to believe.
