- - - As I have argued previously, the evidence that terrorist emeritus Bill Ayers doctored Dreams overwhelms the dispassionate observer. Unlike Obama, Ayers has a well-established paper trail. He co-authored the 1974 tract, "Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism," in which book, by the way, he misspells Frantz Fanon's first name as "Franz" just as Obama does in Dreams. In his underground years, Ayers read and wrote relentlessly. After receiving his doctorate in education from Columbia in 1987-and given Obama's exploration of radical Columbia groups, a likely meeting place--he began a highly successful career as a writer and editor. He has nearly twenty books to his credit, not including Dreams From My Father. Ayers provided an informal editing service for like-minded friends in the neighborhood. Aspiring radical Rashid Khalidi attests to this in the very first sentence of the acknowledgements in his 2004 book, Resurrecting Empire. "There are many people without whose support and assistance I could not have written this book, or written it in the way that it was written," Khalidi writes. "First, chronologically, and in other ways, comes Bill Ayers." There was a good deal of literary back-scratching going on in Chicago's Hyde Park. Obama, for instance, wrote a short and glowing review of Ayers' 1997 book, A Kind and Just Parent, for the Chicago Tribune. In that same book, perhaps with a self-congratulatory wink, Ayers cites the "writer" Barack Obama as one among the celebrities in his neighborhood. Obama's memoir was published in June 1995. Earlier that year, Ayers helped Obama get appointed chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge grant. In the fall of that same year, 1995, helped blaze Obama's path to political power with a fundraiser in his Chicago home. In short, Ayers had the means, the motive, and the ability to jump start Obama's literary career, and Obama needed all the help he could get. He is not a writer in any more than name, never was, and never will be. - - - This is for Geoff, who claims to know something about the nuance of language. The evidence that Ayers ghost wrote "Dreams" is internal and circumstantion but fairly compelling and well-rounded, and I defy anyone to read Ayers' works, and then Obama's, and then compare all that to what little we have of Obama's original writing besides his book (which are *nothing* like his early writings, as few as they are), and anything he says off-the-cuff (which is *nothing* like what he says when the teleprompter is rolling on cue), and then tell me with a straight face that he wrote "Dreams" without Ayers' help. Jack Cashill's extensive analysis at first seemed implausible to me. But I have actually bought all the books and read them, and considered his points, and he's definitely onto something. YMMV, but I'd love to understand how and why. - Bob _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
