Oh, yeah, I remember this one. Bill Ayers ghost-wrote "Dreams of my Fathers" for Obama, right?

Ahh. Seriously, do these people know how many lulz they're providing?

Man, where were the bookers when I was a kid. I had a whole shelf full of acid free paper first edition prints of some of the most awesome fantasy out there, like the Spell Singer series and a couple Weiss Hickmans.

Those should have at least gotten me an orgy with three Bookers and a miniature cow!

ragekage: Oh, yeah, I remember this one. Bill Ayers ghost-wrote "Dreams of my Fathers" for Obama, right?

And the GOP spent quite a bit of time and money trying to connect the dots back then, with no success.

If you read the article, he does make a hell of a case.

And it's a damn fine bourbon, at that.

JacksBlack: If you read the article, he does make a hell of a case.

So do the truthers until you realize they are crazy, full of crap, and passing along fiction for facts.

Somewhat less than impressed.

/hotter than Cropper's licks

JacksBlack: If you read the article, he does make a hell of a case.

A burning copy of "Dreams of My Father" isn't hot enough to melt steel!

Dear lord, his evidence is that they both cite one of the most famous poetic lines referring to their shared home, the city of Chicago? This guy needs to get out of his basement and expand his reading list a little bit, me thinks.

Polygraph-level scholarship may suffice for harmless speculation about the authorship of Midsummer's Night Dream, but not for Dreams From My Father. Too much is at stake for the latter.


Umm...proving the authorship of Midsummer's Night Dream would get someone an immediate Doctorate and a professorship where ever they want.

JacksBlack: If you read the article, he does make a hell of a case.

Yes, they both quoted poets.

OH GOD

And the "hog butcher" quote is about 70/30 in terms of whether people say it is "for" or "to the world." Some even say "of."

JESUS NO

Damn you subby, I read an American Thinker article.

/coincidence is coincidental.
//don't these people have better things to do?

I think "Mr. West" and "Mr. Midwest" are most likely the voices in his head.

I would argue that Ayers played Cyrano to Obama's Christian.

Sekret Christian!

ragekage: Seriously, do these people know how many lulz they're providing?

Nope.

Jesus. I had not appreciated the brilliance of it all until this moment.

First, you weaponize the idea of the "liberal media conspiracy". Let it take root. Once it has, trot out an unqualified, false, ignorant "John Everyman" to stump for your ideals. When the "LMC" does some investigation to find out who this guy is that you've brought up to your platform and expose him for the fraud he is, you simultaneously reinforce your weapon while gaining a new one. Now you get to make things up and attribute them to "anonymous sources" who are terrified of being eviscerated by the "LMC".

FTFA: Too much is at stake

Exactly what the fark is at stake here? Is the exact provenance of this book going to have some effect on anything or anyone? As near as I can tell, it just gives some bored, unhappy people something to jiggle their peters over, and it may drive increased sales of the book. Yeah, that'll show him!

shastacola: I think "Mr. West" and "Mr. Midwest" are most likely the voices in his head.

Unless "Mr. West" is really "Mr. We".



/ My name isn't "Adam We"... or is it?
// Who am I?

X I guess I told him! Nobody messes with Adam We.

Want another bottle. Maybe next week.

First Obama came for my guns, and I said nothing....

LittleSmitty: First Obama came for my guns, and I said nothing....

Photo or it didn't happen.

Maybe Ayers didn't ghost write dreams. But maybe Ayers and Obama had the SAME ghostwriter/editor or some such thing! Or maybe they both read the same Writing for Dummies book. WOAH!!!

We better impeach him now.

shastacola: I think "Mr. West" and "Mr. Midwest" are most likely the voices in his head.

I had an anonymous source- I'll call him "Mr. Squirrel With Huge Nutz"- who is a close associate of JacksBlack. I have great confidence in his authenticity, and have no reason to question it. Anyway, he tells me that JacksBlack wears ladies pantyhose and was intimately involved in the "Diaper" Dave Vitter scandal of awhile back.

If you listen to him, he does make a hell of a case, anyway.

woooosh!

The tin foil is strong with this one.

Broadcasting live from American Thinker's world headquarters

I just had to go and read the mouth-breathers' comments in the article.

Whee! I wanna be crazy like that--the whole world would be my personal amusement park.

Phil Herup: "Books are like kryptonite to black people"

That's not what Chris Rock said, and you know it.

JacksBlack: If you read the article, he does make a hell of a case.


Wow, both of them use a quote from the opening of a poem by a famous poet about the city they both live in.

And they both use the term social control which not only has a wikipedia page but also 2.8 million google hits.

I stopped there assuming that if his firt examples are this bad it will only get worse.

Also didn't some of the Ayers books come out after Obama's so maybe Obama wrote the Ayers books. Or maybe they actually read the books the other wrote and were perhaps influenced by the story. This is like arguing Shakespeare wrote Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead because there are too many similarities.

If fighting a murderous government, Ayers has more in common with the Iranian protesters than his bootlicking critics ever will. Enjoy.

PC LOAD LETTER: Phil Herup: "Books are like kryptonite to black people"

That's not what Chris Rock said, and you know it.


Oh I know... I'm not alowed to say what he said, and you know it.


Will you tell us all what Chris Rock said?

In fighting ...

Good god. This guy's so dumb, I'm pretty sure he has to chew the air before inhaling, lest he choke.

JacksBlack: If you read the article, he does make a hell of a case.

I read as far as "The media punishment that Joe the Plumber received...", knew what kind of territory we were in.

Is this another one of those right-wing theories where they begin with a conclusion then look for whatever evidence they can find to back up that conclusion? You know, like Creationism?

Poopspasm: Good god. This guy's so dumb, I'm pretty sure he has to chew the air before inhaling, lest he choke.

I do believe they were going for irony by posting it in American Thinker.

Oh I know... I'm not alowed to say what he said, and you know it.

Yes, "I love black people! But I HATE n*****s."

That's what he said. So, if you weren't asleep, black people do NOT think books are kryptonite. Those "other" folks do.

I can't believe he actually made you explain that.

mikeandeichmann: Is this another one of those right-wing theories where they begin with a conclusion then look for whatever evidence they can find to back up that conclusion? You know, like Creationism?

Pretty much, yeah.

When will the media learn that you never, ever question the Obamanation? Everything he does is perfect and holy in the eyes of Farkers. He can, never has and never will do any wrong.

/Get with the program, people!

...oh American Thinker. Why do you go out and try to prove that you're neither?

Lee451:

Get with the program [pogrom], people!

Did you know I find Right Wing paranoia arousing?

Interesting contortion, and should provide hours of amusement by fernt and howling frog. Oh NYZooman, and Brockway will pick up on this one too. Yes I thank the crazy people.

In other words worse case scenario, Obama had a man interview him and ghost write a book. OMG that is horrible.

Excoriate Obama on Cap and Trade, I am with you.
Nail him on being quick to say the US is wrong, we are on the same page.

Bring up birth certificeat, and book BS, fark you. This man is our fricking president and deseerves some respect. I may disagree with him, but I do have some respect. Plus he is a nice guy.

Lee451: When will the media learn that you never, ever question the Obamanation?

Never question the Obamanation! Because your stupid theories will be mocked! Those Iranian protesters have nothing on the American wingnuts,for what is death compared to the daily ritual of POINTING AND LAUGHING that wingnuts must endure!!!!!

Actually, this isn't Cashill's first piece on the Obama book fraud.

His first article is HERE. (new window)


It's even better.


/face it libtards. You've been had.

globalwarmingpraiser: In other words worse case scenario, Obama had a man interview him and ghost write a book. OMG that is horrible.

Well, Goodness knows no other president has done that. Matter of fact I have W's original manuscript here written out in green crayon, except for the end bit when the tip broke and he had to switch to burnt umber.

I suppose next some wacko is going to try to claim that John F. Kennedy didn't write Profiles in Courage.

JacksBlack: If you read the article, he does make a hell of a case.

No, actually he makes nothing of the sort

They both quote Carl Sandburg? Really? Chicago natives quoting Chicago's most famous poet's poem about Chicago? The deuce you say! What are the odds of that?

Wow. A conspiracy theory so obtuse that I never even heard it spouted as a Genuine Right Wing Talking Point.

Obama must be doing something right if THIS is what is getting people up in arms.
