On Families & Children: OpEd: Says families are off-limits; but attacks opponents'

When Sarah Palin's daughter came under attack, Obama magnanimously announced, "I think people's families are off-limits and people's children are especially off-limits." Of course, his media surrogates continued the attacks on Palin's family full bore.

Moreover, if Obama didn't approve of attacks on his opponents' families, that would have been a first for him. In his Senate primary race from Illinois in 2004, Obama was down in the polls, about to lose to Blair Hull, a multi-millionaire securities trader. But then the Chicago Tribune dropped the fact that Hull's ex-wife had sought an order of protection against him during their 1998 divorce proceedings--referring to records that were under seal. There were strong suggestions that the Obama campaign had tipped off the Chicago Tribune. Hull's campaign collapsed. Obama sailed to the front of the pack and won the primary.

Luckily for Obama, his opponent in the general election had also been divorced! [Obama similarly attached Jack Ryan].

On Principles & Values: OpEd: Black father abandoned him, yet identifies with him

Various half-black celebrities insist on representing themselves simply as "black"--the better to race-bait their way to success. Actress Halle Berry, singer Alicia Keyes, and matinee idol Barack Obama were all abandoned by their black fathers and raised by white mothers. But instead of seeing themselves as half-white, they prefer to see the glass as half-black. They all choose to identify with the fathers that ditched them, while insulting the women who struggled to raise them.

In 2002, Berry engaged in wild race-baiting to win her Oscar and then ate up most of the awards show with an interminable acceptance speech claiming that her award was "so much bigger than me." People who say "it's bigger than me" always mean it's just about them. During the 2008 campaign, Barack Obama repeatedly said the exact same thing: "This election is bigger than me." Would they be able to pawn off their personal victories as transformative events for the nation if they were not claiming to be doing it for the blacks?

On Principles & Values: OpEd: Wrote glowingly of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's first sermon

Just a few weeks before Jeremiah Wright's greatest hits collection hit the airwaves, Obama had said, "I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial." But normal people were appalled by Obama's reverend damning America, denouncing "white arrogance," and saying American deserved 9/11, Obama distanced himself from whatever voters didn't like, saying, "All of the statements that have been the subject of controversy are ones that I vehemently condemn."

And yet in his autobiography, Dreams from My Father, Obama wrote admiringly of the 1st sermon he heard the Reverend Wright give, in which the pastor blamed "white folks' greed" for "a world in need." Obama said of this talk, "I felt the tears running down my cheek." Indeed, he was so moved by the "white folks' greed" sermon, he joined the church immediately and even used the name of Wright's sermon, "The Audacity of Hope," as the title of his 2nd book.

On Principles & Values: OpEd: Pal Bill Ayres was a bomb-throwing terrorist

No one had accused Obama of guilt by association, but rather guilt of association--association with a bomb-planting, America-hating, flag-denigrating imbecile. Obama's pal Bill Ayers was cofounder of the domestic terrorist group the Weather Underground, which had bombed a dozen buildings, including the Pentagon, the US Capital, and various police stations. Ayers was utterly unrepentant, saying--in an interview published on Sept. 11, 2001--that he wished he had set more bombs. Those are facts. Obama's friends were not being "portrayed" as "bomb-throwing terrorists." They WERE bomb-throwing terrorists.

Nor as Obama and his adoring media claimed, were Ayers and his wife, fellow Weatherman Bernadine Dohrn, just people who happened to live in his neighborhood: They were there at the inception of Obama's political career, hosting a fundraiser for Obama at their home back in 1995. Obama served with Ayers on the board of the radical Woods Fund, long after Ayers's 2001 wish that he had set more bombs
