So that’s where these things get started

I may have discovered a single source for two of the attacks leveled at Barack Obama by his election opponents. Said attacks are 1) accusations from multiple surrogates that Obama subscribes to every leftist ideology they could name, and 2) Rudy Guiliani’s vacuous laff-a-minute RNC mockery of Obama as a community organizer. Bad community! Bad community!

This may all stem from a typographical error.

Over at Regret the Error blog, Craig Silverman alerts us to this correction from The Los Angeles Times:

Li Ximing obituary: A headline on the obituary of Chinese government official Li Ximing in Wednesday’s California section described Li as a Community Party leader. It should have described him as a Communist Party leader.

It all makes nonsense to me now.
