Evidence Mounts: Ayers Co-Wrote Obama's Dreams
The American Thinker ^ | October 17, 2008 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 10/16/2008 10:55:24 PM PDT by St. Louis Conservative

Evidence continues to mount that Barack Obama had substantial help from Bill Ayers in the creation of his 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, a book that Time Magazine has called "the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician." The evidence falls into five general categories, here summarized.

The discovery of new matching nautical metaphors from both Ayers and Obama that almost assuredly came from the same source: Ayers, a former merchant seaman. The discovery of a Bill Ayers' essay on memoir writing, whose postmodern themes and phrases are echoed throughout Dreams. A newly discovered book chapter from 1990 that shows clearly and painfully the limits of Obama's prose style the year he received a contract to write Dreams. The revelation by radical Islamicist Rashid Khalidi that Ayers made his "dining room table" available for neighborhood writers who needed help. A refined timeline that shows Ayers had the means, the motive and the time to help Obama when he needed it most.

How is it Obama just happened to live in the same neighborhood as Ayers?

Cashill is 1000% correct on this. GOP grow some balls and go after him on this now. This is not speculation. Cashill has him nailed.

That Ayers ghostwrote “DREAMS FROM MY FATHER” proves conclusively that Obama HUSSEIN is a total Fraud!This proves a long and close working relationship was cultured and nurtured between Ayers and Obama, betwwen the Ayers and the Obama over many years!
Remember, Ayers is still an Avowed Terrorist who counts Hugo Chavez among his closest Friends!

I am someone who has a few books under my built and I can tell you that their writing is an excruciating experience. It has taken me years to be able to write consistently coherent sentences, hundreds of thousands of words under my belt. For a man who was but a short time before a dope smoking drunken teen to suddenly write the all American memoir strains credulity.

The following thread is about a book written in 1938 talking about the New Deal as Revolution. A very important and foretelling read for 2008.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/929392/posts

Here’s an excerpt - I added a couple of names to bring it up 70 years:

“There was a prodigious literature of revolutionary thought concealed only by the respectability of its dress.”.....

“To the revolutionary this same dreary stuff was the most exciting reading in the world. It was knowledge that gave him a sense of power. One who mastered the subject to the point of excellence could be fairly sure of a livelihood by teaching and writing [AYERS], that is, by imparting it to others, and meanwhile dream of passing at a single leap from this mean obscurity to the prestige of one who assists in the manipulation of great happenings; while one who mastered it to the point of genius [OBAMA] that one might dream of becoming himself the next Lenin.”

The Ayers I know would have done the ghost writing for free. But Onama incurred a debt.

For a writer, your grammar is atrocious. I, for one, would NEVER try to read one of your books. I mean, seriously, proofread before you post. Ugh, that was painful. I wish I could correct your post with a red pen. Sorry to sound harsh, but I hate it when people brag about their skill in something, then turn around and immediately prove their total lack of said skill...

That being said, I agree completely!

If Obama wins Ayers will be in the White House not to bomb it, but to claim it as the highest prize the revolutionaries have taken since the 60s. Alinsky would be vindicated and admired as the next Mao — at least his book would be seen as comparable to Mao’s red book. It would be a travesty to see Ayer, Wright, Dorhn, etc., partying it up like it’s 1917. The long march through the institutions will have paid off.

If Obama wins, just think of the desecration of the Lincoln Bedroom, with the likes of “Reverend” Wright, Bill Ayers, and Tony Rezko sleeping in that sacred place. (Tony would have to be pardoned, of course)

And attend Columbia simultaneously? And apparently just happened to live a couple blocks apart in NYC? Lots of strange coincidences here...

Thanks for the ping LucyT, this is getting more interesting all the time.
Hope this gets out to the media to expose him for the fraud he is.

It's like the scene from the Godfather where he says to the guy who needs help with his daughter "One day we'll call on you and ask you to do something for us..."

Aren’t the Ayer’s ‘kids’ 20-25 yrs. older than Obama’s girls?

The oldest Ayer’s kid being the adopted child of a fellow WU terrorist incarcerated for the early 1980’s armed robbery and triple homicide in NYC.

That ‘kid’ must be in his late 20’s.

Embarassing. I swear I reread that five times. But it goes to my point, an unedumacated Obama without a paper trail would be subject to even MORE errors of this nature.

My problem is that I write so much that I tend to do it by the mental sound, rather than actually looking at the letters on the page. It is actually a bit of a problem, a volume versus quality issue.
