John McCain has taken plenty of heat for not being sure how many houses he owns.
Now liberal activists are going to target one of those homes _ his Crystal City, Va. luxury condo _ with a protest tomorrow in which they plan to build a "tent city" outside the condo building.
The protest is being organized by "Change to Win," a coalition of some of the nation's largest unions, and the plan is for laid off workers to build a faux tent city outside of McCain's condo building to protest his opposition to more generious housing relief laws.
From a statement the group put out this morning: "Nearly 100 workers will join together tomorrow to call on Senator John McCain to change his position on housing relief and open his home to families facing foreclosure at a protest outside his luxury condo in Crystal City, VA. The protest will culminate with the construction of a tent city across the street from McCain’s condo. Workers from Ohio, Michigan, and Virginia will be on hand to tell their personal foreclosure, layoff, and medical bankruptcy stories."
They look like fools.
Keep it up, idiots and pave the way for John McBrilliant ascencion to the White House. These clowns are Obama’s worst enemy.
Their foreclosure, layoff and medical costs are McCain’s problems?
I don’t have a car, nor do I have cable for TV in my home right now, but that’s not McCain’s fault.
Sounds like class envy to me.
When the election is over line up for your grape Kool-Aid!
Community Organizer!
THIS is what Obama will do as President!
Why don’t they go protest in front of the $28,500 a plate dinner Babs Streisand is throwing for the “O” tonight?
Ok, everyone who thinks CBS would report on 100 freepers doing the same at Obamas house raise your hand!
Anyone?
Bueller?
I do wish he had asked them about their own houses, and if they were willing to take in some of these people. Anyone who asks others to provide charity should first do all they can themselves. These were political operatives, and that’s all they were up to.

Solution:
How many houses does Charlie Rangel own?
Obama praised Brazil as a good method of governance. All I could think of was the indigent people in Brazil squatting for property.
Seems now I know how Obama plans to do that here!
“Plenty of heat on how many houses he has?”
That’s just stupid.
No one gave a rip except the LSM, which printed a few headlines on it before being laughed out of the room.
I guess that’s what passes for “plenty of heat” with the LSM these days.
Such a tired stunt. Crystal City is practically Pentagon South. I don’t think they should expect a terribly sympathetic neighborhood audience, depending on the actual location of the condo in question, it could be in the concrete and asphalt jungle part of Crystal City, not too comfy. I don’t see this one as lasting long, though paid, professional rent-a-mobbers might be able to stick it out as long as a week.
This will probably go over like the “Millions for Reparations” rally of ‘03.
Exactly. Your Community Organizers at work. Pickets with this message should join these bums.
when is someone going to remind people that this current financial problem that comes along everytime Democrat control the house and senate.
same thing happened to clinton and it was his party.
Cavuto did a great job of showing the hypocrisy and ignorance of these people...so much so, that I thought the woman was going to cry at the end. He even had pictures of all the Democrats and their huge homes and compounds asking why they weren’t protesting there.
They had absolutely no response when Cavuto mentioned that it was Obama who supported the efforts of Fannie Mae, as they continued to engage in high-risk loans to people they knew weren’t qualified for mortgages. Cavuto shot down their arguments one at a time and made them look foolish.
That's called fighting fire with fire.
