The sidebar accompanying "Why Glenn Beck Hates Community Organizers" (by Danny Duncan Collum, September-October 2010) mentions how organizers have moved beyond Saul Alinsky’s tactic of "making one individual the face of the enemy." Yet that is exactly what the article title and the cover photo do. It was especially perplexing to discover that the otherwise excellent article had absolutely nothing to do with Beck. Don't get me wrong -- I disagree with Mr. Beck about almost everything. But to demonize him to sell magazines is not helpful. Let's pray for him instead.

Sojourners Comment Community Covenant

I will express myself with civility, courtesy, and respect for every member of the Sojourners online community, especially toward those with whom I disagree, even if I feel disrespected by them. (Romans 12:17-21)

I will express my disagreements with other community members' ideas without insulting, mocking, or slandering them personally. (Matthew 5:22)

I will not exaggerate others' beliefs nor make unfounded prejudicial assumptions based on labels, categories, or stereotypes. I will always extend the benefit of the doubt. (Ephesians 4:29)

I will hold others accountable by clicking "report" on comments that violate these principles, based not on what ideas are expressed but on how they're expressed. (2 Thessalonians 3:13-15)

I understand that comments reported as abusive are reviewed by Sojourners staff and are subject to removal. Repeat offenders will be blocked from making further comments. (Proverbs 18:7)
