Experts affirm: Ayers' wrote Obama's memoir

Experts affirm: Ayers' wrote Obama's memoir

Scientific analyses independently find radical's mark on 'Dreams From My Father'

Independent scientific analysis by a number of leading experts supports the literary detective work of WND columnist Jack Cashill that has led him to conclude unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers was the primary author of important sections of Barack Obama's highly acclaimed memoir and editor of the book as a whole.

Obama's 1995 book, "Dreams From My Father," won the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album and drew praise from Time magazine, which called it "the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician."

But since July, Cashill has unveiled in a dozen columns, summarized here, his compelling evidence that the co-founder of the radical Weather Underground group – dismissed by Obama as "just a guy who lives in my neighborhood" – shaped and refined the book with his exceptional writing skill and radical ideas.

The evidence, Cashill says, "severely tests Obama's claim of a superficial relationship with the self-declared 'communist' Ayers. This appears to be a conscious and consequential deception."

Cashill points out that in contrast to "Dreams," the Obama writing samples unearthed before 1995 "are pedestrian and uninspired."

"There is no precedent for this kind of literary transformation," he writes. "It is as if a high 90s golfer suddenly showed up with his PGA card -- with no known practice rounds in between."

"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully," the Democratic presidential candidate wrote in his memoir, "Dreams From My Father." "The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."

This is important.(Understatement contender) It looks as though Cashill has done his homework- Ayers was the ghostwriter for Obama’s book.

I’ve followed this story- and his conclusions seemed reasonable- but without this kind of testing done on it- I was staying skeptical.

I would really be interested in knowing if Ayers also ghost wrote Obama's new book:

Because this one looks like Obama's political platform. I've been a little surprised that bloggers haven't covered this one yet. I would like to compare the platform in this book to Marx and Engels “Manifesto to the World” and also to ACORN's People's Platform.

I guess I'll have to get this one. Yuck.

Scripwriter more like it. Ayres knows who and what obama is. Ayres knows who his father was. Ayres knows where he was born. Ayres decided what to leave in and what to leave out, what documents needed to be sealed and hidden, what photographs to release to tell the story...he probably made up a story-board before he wrote it. The objective never was to write an auto-biography, but to paint a picture that could be used to cover over what and who obama really was.

Ayres needed a puppet, his history didn’t allow him to take his ambitions as far as he wanted to go, terrorism didn’t work, he found another way. He created obama. And now we have a candidate that no one knows who his father was, where he was born; the creation of a Weatherman who should still be incarcerated for his crimes.

I don’t doubt that Ayers wrote “Dreams of My Father”, but a thousand experts won’t be able to prove anything. Without a smoking gun, there isn’t a story, and Ayers is not going to talk about it. Now Ayers is an arrogant, self-righteous, egotistical SOB, so if he did write it, it’s just a matter of time before he brags about it. Problem is, that won’t happen before the election—no way, no how.

There are strong ties between Obama and Ayers. And Ayers is one creepy dude. Here is today’s update in the Ayers Link Thread:

The FOIA papers on the Weathermen are incomplete. There are two sections that the FBI sent out a press release saying they are now available and since then, the link was broken.

The Mobilization Committee to End the War and ‘Committee of Liaison with Families of Servicemen Detained in North Vietnam’ [COLIFAM] were creations of the Weathermen that Ayers was directly involved with.

I believed Cashill from his 2nd article on this subject going forward. THe left is calling him a wingnut. On the contrary, he is 100% dead nuts on.

"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout..."

I think most people interpret this passage as Obama wanting to fit in, so for appearances sake he hung out with radicals; maybe he didnt even really agree with them but he wanted to create a perception of himself. But that would be to avoid being labeled a sellout. What's striking to me about that is he was really concerned about being "mistaken" for a sellout. In other words, he wasn't a sellout! He was a true believer and he wanted everyone to know it so they wouldn't have any doubts about him. So he went out of his way to find fellow radicals to associate with. And the people who reflected his world view were those marxist professors. That is who he wanted to be and that is who he wanted people to think he was!

Thanks SE Mom.

Question: "Is Ayers also Osama Bin Laden’s ghost writer?"

Ping.

Cross referencing an older article I posted today:

I am getting the feeling Bill Ayers is also Osama Bin Laden’s ghost writer.
