This post has been out there for several days - and knowing a bit about the U. of C. Law School - I find it highly plausible. At the same time it is bothersome that this is just a “I know a guy who sez X” kind of post - with all the verifiability of, say, a Seymour Hersh hit piece on the Bush Administration.
I think this is the truth but it is not verifiable like you said.
He was a visiting lecturer not an adjunct and had no qualifications to teach Constitutional Law from all accounts. Personally would think Tom Ayers is the one who talked to the Board to get him on the payroll and give him an office. He was tight with his son Bill Ayers and by all accounts Tom Ayers was one of the ones behind Obama getting into Harvard. Since Tom Ayers sat on the Board of Trustees at Northwestern and his son was a professor at University of Chicago I can see that happening.
I too find it more than believable but would love something a little more concrete.
There were some threads in the past few days about The White House giving special access if they either (depending on the thread) wrote favorable stories or didn’t write on anything bad that came out about him. This would seem to be the sort of story they’d hate to have come out because its something you would think the media,having missed it,would ignore it so by covering it would possibly go after other stories. Maybe even have reporters reporting and we couldn’t have that.
Still,can’t escape asking why is this out now and not 2 years ago?
Mark Levin interviewed one of them several weeks ago. He didn't comment about his intellectual capacity directly. If I remember the interview correctly, the prof said he was an ideologue and didn't like to discuss issues.
