Questions of the Day: How Many Houses Has Bill Ayers Blown Up? Is Obama Prompter-Dependent?
Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 12:34 PM
Rush played some tape of Obama attempting to turn John McCain's answer on the number of houses he owns into a stump speech.  Rush correctly noted that it sounded very desperate indeed, and given the news that Rush also reported that Obama is using a prompter at "townhalls," raises the question of whether there's quality control at the input end.

Letting surrogates chew on McCain's wealth may or may not be a good idea --class rhetoric rarely works, especially when you have John Kerry as your nominee emeritus-- but it is especially dangerous when your own home was acquired with the connivance of a convicted felon to whom you had helped direct subsidies as a state legislator.

Since houses are in play, we also need to know:

How many houses does nancy Pelosi own?  Harry Reid?  And how many houses has Bill Ayers blown up or plotted to blow up?

PL writes
"There is an objective truth here, and I have the right to claim it."

As do I. So the question then becomes on what or whose authority do you base your claim?

Based on all that you have written, the authority on which you base your claim is "Well because I say so...or because the majority of Americans are for it."

I base my claim on what God has revealed in His Word. I'll believe my authority over yours every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Let me ask you this since you do recognize it as an evil. Are you at least for the restricting of abortions in certian circumstances (i.e. late term abortions, or parental consent laws)?


"That you cannot see the truth--or rather, refuse to see the truth, because it interferes with the rush you get when you feel morally superior--is not my problem. "

It will be your problem when you stand before God and must give an account for your life.

Sorry, you are hopscotching like an eight year old girl. I do not admit to abortion being a lesser evil to "placate my conscience." I call it a lesser evil because that is what it is. Your alternative--outlawing abortion--is the greater evil.

And spare me the regression into subjectivism. It is not my opinion vs. your opinion. There is an objective truth here, and I have the right to claim it. That you cannot see the truth--or rather, refuse to see the truth, because it interferes with the rush you get when you feel morally superior--is not my problem.

how many houses did bill aryers blow up
good question, we know that a judge's house in new york was blown up by the weather underground as they took responsibility for the action.
his son, during an interview on fox news channel, was talking about the horror he felt as a child being escorted out of their burning home. the reason for the bombing, the weather underground's case was before his father and they were going to eliminate or terify him while sneding a message to any other judge not to mess with them.
as for another post re obama and the way he bought his home.
first of all he got his house for 300k less than asking price while mrs. retzko who had no credit was able to pay full price for the adjoing property on the same day.

"As I said, you do not reclaim any "moral innocence," much less any type of moral superiority, in your support of the unborn. You simply reveal that you are a self-insistent prig who is morally ill-equipped to deal with the world as we find it.

In the real world, son, we men sometimes have to choose the lesser of evils. And many men, thinking they are doing good, are creating much greater evils than the ones they are trying to fight."


Only the trully morally mislead would believe that snuffing out an unborn infant to protect the rights of women to have sex with men they wouldn't want to be the fathers of their children is the lesser of evils.

That you honestly believe that you have the moral high ground on this reveals the self-deception that you have given yourself over to. Your own words condemn you. You admit abortion is evil (though you qualify it as a "lesser evil" to placate your conscience I suppose), but then you fight tooth and nail against ANYTHING that would limit the evil act.

By the way, what on earth gives you the idea that you and your ilk are the only ones "morally equipped to deal with the world as we find it." Let me see if I understand this correctly, you disagree with me, therefore I (and by inference, anyone who thinks as I do) am not equipped to deal with worlds problems today.

Obama and Bill Ayers
I heard today on Hugh's radio show that he questioned Obama friendship to Bill Ayers.
It looks like he does not understand basic human nature. There was times back in my old country, under soviet occupation, when I not only offer my friendship but kiss the hand of the people who blow up the Kremlin with the politburo in it.
Obama and his fellow intellectuals of the US univercity circuits has the same type of contempt toward the today leadership in the US as we hold against the Kemlin. I feel it in my guts.
I liked Obama ,when started his campaign, then more he talked the less attractive he became. I stil contemplate to vote for him. Because if we really want change he will make it, even if will go toward the worst.
We cannot expect any change from an aging Arizona senator.

No more brain cells than a lifetime of boozing and catting around--albeit encircling five years of intense hardship. It is nice to have a candidate who tells it like it is with drug use--as opposed to a President whose entire 20s and 30s went up his nose, even as he spent his 40s and 50s persecuting those who lived like him.

Between Al Franken with the dirty jokes and Barack Obama with the street drugs, it sure seems like your side is riding an awfully high horse where it comes to political correctness.

In your opinion, not mine. I see a moral difference as well.


"Yet you heep more moral outrage on a teenager who did NOT get addicted and did NOT commit crimes."

You mean other than the fact that he purchased and used an illegal narcotic, yes? I would also add that to say "I heeped moral outrage" on Obama is bit hyperbolic on your part...especially when I said I DON"T CARE THAT HE DID DRUGS IN HIS YOUTH!


"As I said, do the McCain people REALLY want to have a campaign debate about jonesing and drug seeking behaviors?"

I don't think it is an issue, but your comparison is asinine because JOHN MCCAIN DIDN'T DO DRUGS!

Your argumentation makes as much sense as if I would say "Barack isn't patriotic because his wife said she wasn't proud to be an american until her husband was presumed to be the Democratic nominee".

What does he think is going to look worse to voters--McCain not knowing how many investment properties his wife owns, or Obama knowing that his brother George lives in a Kenyan hut on a $1 month and does nothing to help him out? And the guy talks about a moral responsibility to the poor. Just more liberal "do as I say and not as I do" hypocrisy.

Enlighten me- is there any difference between Obama's drug use and Bush's drug use? I don't recall any attacks on Bush by the conservatives when he first ran in 2000, so shouldn't the same standard apply here to Obama? I suppose it is too much to expect consistency from the right. Can you imagine the response from the right if Kerry said in 2004 that he didn't know how many houses he and Theresa owned?

If McSame does not even have a grasp of his own financial situation, ie how many houses he owns, how can run the nations economy?

And for all those who fear that Obama's a muslim: In a way, it'd be good if he WERE a real muslim, given that the muslims have consistently joined forces with the vatican to oppose the pro-abortion policies of the UN & other NGO's. Real muslims (of which I am not) also oppose homosexual "marriage".

"as if what Obama did and what Cindy did were not morally equivalent."

They simply are not.

"So I ask: are you saying one person's acts were worse than the other? And if so, who was the worse actor? i await your explanation."

Clearly I believe the use of a hardcore illegal drug like cocaine (whether it be for "casual" use or if you are a hardcore addict) is worse than an addiction to pain killers.

If you were in law school, then you should know that the law takes into account mititgating circumstances. Getting hooked on pain killers following back surgery is something that mitigates Cindy's addiction to some degree.

What mitigates Barack's CHOOSING to do drugs and the drug trafficing that by said usage was enabling?

BTW, is Cindy McCain running for president? What does her having an addiction in the past have to do with her husbands ability to be president today?

Only the truly logically challenged would ascertain that my arguments were excusing one while condemning the other. Especially in light of the fact that I said (in the same post no less) it was irrelevant that Barack was at one time in the past a drug user.

Second, since when is marrying into money a disqualifier for the presidency? The dunces on the left sure didn't think so four years ago.

Third- b.hussein is still the least qualified person to ever, EVER run for the presidency. He can parrot someone else's words off a teleprompter real well though- perhaps he's got a future as an infomercial host.

And character development, or lack thereof, does not stop in a North Vietnamese prison cell 35 years ago.

So - it's not okay that Cindy is the higher wage earner in their household? She still runs her family business (actually McCain's adopted son from his first marriage does), so you are implying that she should not use that money to take care of her family? McCain has also written a couple of books that sold pretty darn well too.

McCain's grandfather died two days after returning from WWII, so McCain would not have benefited from that. Also, his father would have been an O-3 - O-5 when McCain was growing up. No one would have known that he would be a 4-star. agian, hardly elitist. You obviously know nothing about the military culture or you would know that leaders cannot ride on a relative's coattails.You succeed or fail on your own merits. Period.

Finally, claiming that his father and grandfather had anything to do with him getting into Annapolis displays astounding ignorance as to what it takes to get into and stay in a military academy. There is no legacy system like in the Ivy Leagues. Also, where you graduate in the class has absolutely nothing to do with how good a leader you are. Many of our best combat leaders graduated low in their class and were troublemakers who were always testing the rules.

His plane hit a house and the scumbags in the country in question prosecuted him for murder as a result. There is no man I have more respect for on the planet.

Rich certainly does not disqualify or John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama, Mitt Romney, Joe Biden, John McCain, Chris Dodd would all have been disqualified from running.

As for the houses Bill Ayers has blown up, unfortunately for you chumps, Bill Ayers is not running for President.

And wait until we start talking about leadership, and how America can do a better job living up to its ideals. Enjoy your high-water mark, boys. You'll remember August 2008 fondly..

He doesn't know how many homes he owns
At least four but no more than seven. There is no spinning this. This is one dumb cross-dresser. Is there anyone reading this who doesn't know how many houses they own? Quick! How many legs do you have!

Clinton Camp on Obama and Ayers
Just posted at the WSJ blog "Washington Wire" at http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/08/21/obamas-ties-to-ay ers-come-up-again/

Howard Wolfson, Clinton’s communications director, argued in April that if Obama can’t answer questions on topics like the Ayers connection “appropriately and effectively and candidly” then “it does not speak well of the kind of candidate he would be in the fall against Sen. John McCain.”

WOW!
I would LOVE to see someone ask Obama "How many houses has Bill Ayers blown up or plotted to blow up?" I can already see the anger in his eyes if he was asked that question after thinking he was all slick making some comment about how many homes McCain owns.

Reid and his land deals
Let's have a full depth dig into Hapless Harry's land deals shall we? Something rotten in Nevada? You betcha. False declarations on his public ethics reports, shady land transfers etc etc. He never has fully answered for that one yet.

You want to talk wealth and elitism, Obama? Let's publish a list of the richest 20 Senators and see which parties they belong to shall we. Last list I saw had the top 4 slots all with a "D" after the name and number 5 was Lincoln Chaffee.
