		<description>&gt;Lets just go over a few facts shall we! ................ Both in Ayres writing and in Obamas Dreams we have the commonallity of 1 Story of Tidal river....#2 older male explain to younger about tidal river.....#3 tidal river is the Hudson River .....#4 Story has both teaching moment standing on exact szme spot on Hudson Rivr.....#5 both books talk of  “Frantz Fanon”....#6 Both books spell  “Frantz Fanon”  WRONG IN BOTH BOOKS !!!!!  Hello are you starting o get the Pitcure???  Here if some more  both Ayers in [A Kind and Just Parent] and Obama in [Dreams from My Father] make reference to the poet Carl Sandburg. In itself, this is not a grand revelation  Let us call it a C-level match. Obama and Ayers seem to have shared the same library in any case . . . Ayers and Obama, however, go beyond citing Sandburg. Each quotes the opening line of his poem &quot;Chicago&quot; . . . This I would call a B-level match. What raises it up a notch to an A-level match is the fact that both misquote &quot;Chicago,&quot; and they do so in exactly the same way.....MMM   MMM   MMM ..Maybe you get why Fox news needs to be discredited....Maybe now you know why Obama needs you to turn them off ....Maybe now you are wondering if maybe Billy could use this against the President ? Maybe now you know or at least supect why Obama cant raise the Troop level as he promised ....Maybe now you know why the MSM wont cover this....Maybe now you know why Eric Holder wont allow San Francisco Police reopen Ayres Bombing Follow the links down the rabbit Hole to the bigest story in the last 100 years!

		<description>On Monday night of this week, we learned from blogger Anne Leary that William Ayers said that he is actually the author of Barack Obama&#039;s book &quot;Dreams From My Father.&quot; It should be remembered that Leary is not accusing Ayers of writing the book. Rather, Ayers insisted to her that he wrote it. Don&#039;t shoot the messenger for reporting what a nutjob lunatic treasonous unrepentent bomber said about his pal, the President of the United States.</description>

		<description>&quot;It&#039;s neither been proven nor disproven that he did; at this point in time it&#039;s still possible. IOW, any implied claim that he didn&#039;t write it is false; it&#039;s still possible that he did. Anyone who claims that it&#039;s not possible that he wrote it is just a BHOcultist who can&#039;t think straight.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Alternatively, anyone who claims it is not possible is an actual rational, thinking adult.  Crimony... did you hear about the conference between Bigfoot and Obama out at Area 51 every week?  Right up your alley apparently... and don&#039;t tell me it doesn&#039;t go on because it has neither been proven nor disproven.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wow, what colour is the sky in your world?</description>

		<description>Maybe he got confused... you have written the words &quot;Ayers is Obama&#039;s ghost-writer&quot; in the above passage so many times, I&#039;m beginning to think you actually do believe it.</description>

		<description>Ayers is a terrorist, sorry &#039;direct action activist&#039; who realized it was better to undermine the US, through the Gramscian route through the institutions than&lt;br&gt;through pipebombs. I know you don&#039;t want to admit you were &#039;punked&#039; last fall&lt;br&gt;but it is what is.</description>

		<description>David Weigel - Liar or hack?  (Or why choose!)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What Weigel excerpted from Tom Maguire:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think the Dreams story is pretty accessible – Ayers is Obama’s ghost-writer.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What Weigel omitted is that I excerpted a bit of a Cashill post, which included this lament about how his story about Dreams was ignored.  From Cashill:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;The Van Jones story and the ACORN stings moved so quickly downstream because they were so visual, accessible and undeniable.  The Dreams exposé is neither visual nor easily accessible.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I went on to say that the Dreams story was accessible and summarized it as &quot;Ayers is Obama&#039;s ghostwriter&quot;.  I then explained other problems with the story that have nothing to do with accessibility, such as an absence of evidence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Well, I think the Dreams story is pretty accessible - Ayers is Obama&#039;s ghost-writer.  It just sounds wildly improbable, probably because people think of Ayers as a bombmaking bugaboo of the right rather than an accomplished, published writer.  There is also the little matter of proof - Van Jones had published quotes and signatures on petitions, Acorn had video, &quot;Dreams&quot; has some suggestive matches of words and phrases.  And now a book.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Evidently, that was too long a logical chain for Weigel.  I have a hard time believing he turned my post upside down by accident.</description>

		<description>This guy was also *the* driving force behind the whining about Obama asking for elitist Dijon mustard on his hamburger and the media (according to him) subsequently trying to cover it up.</description>

		<description>Cornell should be embarrassed to have William A. Jacobsen on their faculty.  Seriously, &quot;Will Obama issue a denial of Ayers accusation?&quot;  How embarrassing for a fine university.</description>
