Perhaps some of you took offense to Sarah Palin's remarks ridiculing the importance of community organizing. I can tell you, I did.
I can tell you, from my own experience with the Obama campaign (19 months and still counting), that this movement for change would not have been possible without the time and commitment from people who believe that they could make a difference. It was founded on the tenets of community organizing.
Though the thrust of Palin's comment may have been directed only at Barack Obama alone, what she didn't realize was that it was taken as an insult by every single volunteer who have and continue to support this historic campaign. The following video summarizes my feelings.

How dare this video compares Obama to Martin Luther King, Susan B. Anthony, or Ceasar Chavez. He cannot hold a candle to any of those three.
The difference is that King, Anthony, and Chavez did not have their number one goal to have political clout. They simply fought injustice. Obama wants politial power under the veil of helping the people.
