Bill Ayers: “I wrote Dreams From My Father”
Chicago Daily Observer ^ | October 6, 2009 | Anne Leary

Posted on 10/06/2009 8:22:46 AM PDT by PBRCat

There I was, sitting in Reagan National Monday morning, sipping a Starbucks by the United counter before going through security. I had a little time, so I was browsing through the news. That's when I saw Bill Ayers, an instant blight. Scruffy, thinning beard, dippy earring, and the wirerims, heading to order. I gathered my things, got my camera ready, and snapped a shot right when he got his coffee.

He gave me an uneasy cheesy smile when he realized I was taking his picture.

I asked--what are you doing in D.C. Mr. Ayers?

[He said] he was giving a lecture in Arlington to a Renaissance group on education--that's what I do, education--you shouldn't believe everything you hear about me, you know nothing about me.

Then, unprompted he said--I wrote Dreams From My Father. I said, oh, so you admit it. He said--Michelle asked me to. I looked at him. He seemed eager. He's about my height, short. He went on to say--and if you can prove it, we can split the royalties. So I said, stop pulling my leg. Horrible thought. But he came again--I really wrote it, the wording was similar. I said I believe you probably heavily edited it. He said--I wrote it.

We have known all along that Ayers and the Chicago of communists were Obama’s circle of power and friendship.

We knew he took his two children to Rev. Wright’s church for twenty years and that Rev. Wright is a very radical and dark character who converted from Islam and that his church has close ties to the Nation of Islam which is one of the most poison and evil organizations in the Nation.

We know that his czars from from his circle of communists or are looked upon as evil in ideology sufficiently to fit into and to be useful to communists for their lack of humanity and their hatred of our country and society.

We don’t have to pretend that we do not know what the communists of the world have struggled to create since their existence - a world government in which they control and run. Obama is currently setting up the financial and tax structure for that government - an important first step to ensure all the other pieces fall into place.

He’s also disarming the US so that we are not able to protect ourselves from other’s threats of nucelar destruction and getting rid of US power and it’s influence of freedom is a central goal of communists. Chinese communists and Muslims are falling into place to the sole super power of this new world after Obama brings down the US.

Marxists are not angry at Obama. He is doing one level of Marxism domestically that is not working so well because democracy is gettting in the way, but he is putting a permanent structure of Marxism to rule the country through global institutions that will rule over us w/o our vote or power to get out from under it’s boot.

They act like they are full of themselves because they know progress is being made to lay the foundation for a communist global government. They have more power than they ever could have dreamed and the Congress is going along with the global financial and taxation establishment better than they could have ever hoped for.

It makes one wonder about McCain and his commitment to keep the GOP in line with the agenda... You don’t hear him shouting about Obama’s plan to disarm the US nor do we hear a peep about Obama’s plan to create a world government financial and taxation body to rule over our country. He’s doing his best to keep the “extremists” in power quiet and to keep those who would get into power - out. He is also responsible for permitting a communist mole to get into office by shouting down everyone who questioned Obama’s qualifications.

OK, I can envision bouncing this off any current 0bama supporters. They’ll excuse it, say it doesn’t matter, etc.

Actually they will immediately and loudly attack Sarah Palin's co-author as being worse than Ayers and they will call us hypocrites.

Barry is not failing to do what he is supposed to do for the communist movement. His global agenda is the one to watch. He is disarming the US of nuke protection (ending super power status in military force), he is crashing the US economy with debt, and he is establishing a global financial and taxation authority that is outside the control and power of elections. In the meantime world communists and their Muslim brothern are slated to become the new economic and military super power of the world.

Color me skeptical. (Not that Ayers wrote Dream, but that he talked about it to a stranger in an airport.)

Even though SP was honest about her co-author from the get-go.

There is a HUGE difference....Obama CLAIMED to have written his book...no mention of anyone else...OBAMA LIED YET AGAIN.

And, Palin’s book was not written by a TERRORIST.

Maybe this qualifies him as a plagarist, like his VP, Mr. Biden??

Yes, a huge difference. But we will see what the left does in response by and by. I’ll stand by my prediction. I hope they do bring up Palin’s book because that only heats up the questions and she will do well in the comparison.

He could be — or not — he may think that publicly grabbing ownership will throw people off-base and cause them to think, aw nah, he’s just kidding.

He is so vulnerable to being manipulated by so many people. It does not bode well for us, especially if things get nasty.

You've named my fear...

The other “nuance” is that ghost-writes do NOT get royalties... as he so glibly states he will share. He got paid cold cash, no doubt.

I agree with all of what you said except the disarming part. There is no way in hell Americans will allow disarmament. Not a snowballs chance in hell. Nada. Zero.

As they say no honor among thieves. Interesting to see how this will all end. There has to be some among those in Washington that is not pleased with the level of ‘change’ that’s going on.

If they are splitting royalties...shouldnt that be easy to confirm?

Anonymous ghostwriters are generally paid by the word by the publisher or the principal or the agent for the principal. They do not share in the royalties as they do not own the copyright. Technically they don't exist. I suspect that if Ayers wrote the book, there was a non-disclosure clause in the contract which would prohibit Ayers from claiming authorship.

CHANGE isn’t coming soon enough for them.

While Obama is quite content to do enough damage in one term with no chance of re-election, he’s still constrained by the DNC which wants to hold onto Congress past the 2010 election cycle.

My point is that we have no idea whatsoever who Obama is - he could be anything. The book gave us "hints" but those hints were fantasy out of the mind of Bill Ayers.

My guess is what several others have said - weak - easily manipulated - superficially "nice" - narcissistic - manipulative - lacking a "center" and possibly quiet dangerous (to us who attack his narcissism) - and possibly not.

In some ways we're back at square one. One new concern - it was too easy for him to lie about writing the book. That's bad. Knowing what we know, I'd like to know who is the person behind him... Ayers lacks the self discipline - so it's not him.
