-The line, "Being a small town mayor is a bit like being a 'community organizer' except you have actual responsibilities" is devastating. It doesn't degenerate community service, it juxtaposes that it is not important for national office than being a mayor.-
Actually, her line about the mayor/community organizer thing does denigrate both the job of community organizer and community service in general and the fact that you and your wife don't understand that is disturbing. there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Americans who work in their communities to make their communities a better place, for Palin to suggest that there is no "responsibility" in this is a denigration, it is mean-spirited and it is just plain ignorant. And yes, it is denigrate not degenerate. Sure Palin may be a degenerate but that's a story for another day.
