Andersen Book Blows Ayers' Cover on 'Dreams' [OH MY GOD - CASHILL PWNS OBAMA & AYERS!!!]
The American Thinker ^ | Thursday, September 23, 2009, 7:30 PM | Jack Cashill

In his new book, "Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage," Best-selling celebrity journalist, Christopher Andersen, has blown a huge hole in the Obama genius myth without intending to do so.

Relying on inside sources, quite possibly Michelle Obama herself, Andersen describes how Dreams came to be published -- just as I had envisioned it in my articles on the authorship of Dreams.  With the deadline pressing, Michelle recommended that Barack seek advice from "his friend and Hyde Park neighbor Bill Ayers."

To flesh out his family history, Obama had taped interviews with various family members. Andersen writes, "These oral histories, along with a partial manuscript and a truckload of notes, were given to Ayers." Andersen quotes a Hyde Park neighbor, "Everyone knew they were friends and that they worked on various projects together. It was no secret. Why would it be? People liked them both."

Andersen continues, "In the end, Ayers's contribution to Barack's Dreams From My Father would be significant--so much so that the book's language, oddly specific references, literary devices, and themes would bear a jarring similarity to Ayers's own writing."

More to come!

In my daily commute I ran into a couple of people (supposedly "educated" people) who had copies of BO's AoH book and they were babbling on and on about how wonderful he was.

The terror of the French Revolution was part II, not part I.

To Ayers, they are useful idiots. I think these people are inwardly very self-righteous and very self-congratulatory that they voted for BO. The morning after BO gave his address on the "health care" legislation to the joint session of Congress (and Joe Wilson called him a liar), these people were all atwitter about it. "Did you listen to the speech?" one of them eagerly asked me.

Then this couple of people went on and on about how horribly disrespectful Wilson had been, and about how all who opposed the "health care" legislation were despicable racists, etc. etc.

It sounded like a parody, but it wasn't.

Anyhow, these people are Ayers's bread and butter. Many are in high academic positions and are capable of shaping opinion through press conferences, publications, and influence on the minds of students--tomorrow's voters.

I wonder if this means that the awards Obama won for his book will be rescinded? If it is so that he and Ayers wrote the book, then both should have been awarded, right? Not that I think either of them deserve anything, but...

If the book industry is "fair," and concerned about truth...then this should make those who awarded Obama quite concerned that this was not revealed and that he took full credit, with no mention of assistance from Ayers.

As a student of the French Revolution and the Bolshevik Revolution, I can assure you that these folks were the first to go. Too smart to trust by the regime. They are singing their swan song...

I am more convinced than ever that SAT/ACT tests also test for some sort of manipulation potential that allows Universities to select students most likely to be persuaded and impassioned. They are trolling for kids they can manipulate into believing leftist propaganda...

One more thing...a word so often used by Obama (maybe he should look it up before he writes another book) -

Biden is a plagiarist and the American Idiocracy elected him and his buddy. I doubt the intelligentsia will care as long as it fits their dementia.

Lefties... you are fools and you are being manipulated. You heard it here first...

Cashill's body of work on this question is the greatest piece of investigative journalism in my lifetime.

On that I can agree.

About the other,... we may think so, but it may be left to a future generation to confirm this.

don’t know if this has been posted, but media matters is “debunking” this already. ignoring what the author (Andersen) wrote and using an Oxford Professor’s analysis to debunk.

“Hannity, Andersen advance discredited claim that Ayers helped Obama pen his autobiography”
