Test shows Ayers penned Obama's 'Dreams'
World Net Daily ^ | October 19, 2008 | Jack Cashill

As I have contended in previous articles, there is considerable and growing evidence that Bill Ayers made a significant contribution to Obama's "Dreams from My Father."

Among other indicators, I have cited the stunning parallels in nautical metaphors and postmodern themes, as well as the nearly miraculous transformation of Obama from struggling hack to literary giant in just a few years.

On Friday evening I received a welcome call from a member of Congress who has found the evidence as convincing as I have and has intervened to have writing samples tested through a university-based authorship program.

Although no such program is fully reliable, all preliminary comparisons that I have run have tested positive.

Two comparable nature passages – from "Dreams" and Ayers' memoir, "Fugitive Day," respectively – scored very nearly identically on the Flesch Reading Ease test.

In the 3rd debate I noticed that Obama refrained from saying anything negative about Ayers in the present, other than he made a mistake 40 years ago. He wanted to make him look normal by saying he was a college professor. Perhaps Obama knew this would come out and is trying to legitimize the Ayers of this decade.

But, but but, the chosen one said he did not know Ayers, the murdering terrorist.

That is going to leave a mark.

More proof that Obama is the personification of the left’s dream to reform America in its image. If I remember correctly, one leftist academic - perhaps Alinsky - opined that the best route for the leftist reformation of American culture had to be done slowly, piece by piece, until the transformation had taken place without the notice of most people.

It’s almost as if the United States was in a pincher movement between two ideologies who use the long view - Islam on one side, Marxism on the other side, both working slowly and methodically to undermine and replace American culture with their own visions.

0bama = Ayers’ special project!

Remember how the Germans shipped Lenin to Russia in a freight train wagon? Bill Ayers did!

I thought Bill POS Ayers was just a guy in the neighborhood?

The liar is unqualified to be president.

How embarrassed is Chris Buckley going to be that he endorsed Obama basically on the strength of his writing abilities.

Very good way of putting it! My only quibble is that somehow this pincer movement seems to have speeded up radically before our very eyes and I have this awful feeling that we're in on the endgame. Or what they are hoping will be the endgame.

OK...what could be discovered by rummaging through old files and boxes of the ghost writer? I imagine there could be a set of 5.25” floppies in an old shoebox labeled “BHO”.

“...just a guy who lives in my neighborhood”—turns out to be just a guy who wrote his book, just a guy responsible for articulating his views and beliefs, just a guy who is an America-despising revolutionary Marxist, just a guy who participated in- and attempted to murder police, soldiers, a judge....just a guy likely coming to the White House with the cardboard cutout he created who is about to be elected president...

Just a guy.

Do you know if anyone has yet asked Obama directly about what role, if any, Ayers had in Dreams?

I hope Christopher Buckley is happy about endorsing Bill Ayers for President.

Chris Buckley can go take a flying leap. I don't know if he is connected with NR, but if so, and if you have a subscription, then CANCEL it immediately. How a committed Catholic can support a pro-abortion extermist is inexplicable.

Is there a public record of Ayers endorsing the book?
