Bill Ayers having a laugh at wingnuts
Right wing news sites and bloggers are abuzz over an "admission" by Bill Ayers that he ghost-wrote Barack Obama's first book, Dreams From My Father.

The rumors that the former Vietnam War-era radical-turned-pedagogy professor wrote Obama's book have been a favorite of right-wing bloggers since the 2008 election, but a claim by a conservative blogger earlier this week that Ayers admitted writing the book to her has fanned the flames once again.

(snip)

On Tuesday, blogger Anne Leary said she ran into Ayers at Reagan National Airport in Washington, DC, where Ayers admitted to having written the book, and offered to split the royalties with Leary if she could find proof:

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. I said--why would I believe you, you're a liar.

He had no answer to that. Just looked at me. Then he turned and walked off, and said again his bit about my proving it and splitting the proceeds.
Leary's report got numerous bloggers excited.

1. Gawd, you can get them to believe ANYTHING...
...so long as it's discreditable to President Obama.

Sheeesh, they are gullible. And desperate. And stupid.

The triple threat.

amazedly,
Bright

2. The FReeps all believe Ayers admitted writing the book
with very few exceptions. They really believe he wants royalties. They're all abuzz over there.

16. Did Ayers write it while wearing diapers in a public bathroom stall?

That's what I heard (from the chubby little Republicon entity who lives in my toilet bowl).

5. You know say what you want about Ayers but he and Dohrn were on the FBI ten most

wanted list for ten years and didn't get caught
then when they turned themselves in the had the
government case against them thrown out for lack
of evidence.

IIRC they called undercover FBI officers as witnesses
and the BI backed off because of their officers were used
as Agent Provocateurs and it wouldn't do for their shenanigans
to come out in open court.

Even knowing this the RWers continue to believe that
Ayers is just a stupid hippie anarchist.

If the OP is true Ayers is fucking with the Right as he
has throughout his life.

10. Since when have facts and stark reality played any role in the rantings of the RWingnuts?
Edited on Thu Oct-08-09 02:49 PM by BrklynLiberal
They are one huge population of paranoid schizophrenics with delusional disorders.
Virtually nothing they believe is grounded in the real world.

Someone wrote this--

"Once went to Cape Canaveral, and while I was their Neil Armstrong admitted they faked the moon landing. But where, you ask, is the evidence?

A receipt to a gas station in Cape Canaveral.

IS YOUR MIND BLOWN?!"

17. they are buying it hook, line, and sinker.
from my local pet freeper, part of a long, breathless post-

"A Million Little Pieces of Hope
If Ayers was telling the truth, then Barack Obama is guilty of literary fraud by falsely claiming to have written "Dreams From My Father." On the other hand, if Ayers lied to Anne Leary, then Ayers is guilty of - and I'm serious here - defaming author Barack Obama, his publishing company, and his book's publicists by saying that they misrepresented the true authorship of the book, and therefore the book was not truly autobiographical."


sorry, i wont link. but you can find him, chicago news bench. worth the trouble for the laugh.

i say it again, i love bill ayers. i have met him. i have seen what he has done with his life. he is worth a thousand of these idiots.

20. just kicking to say that the local nut is sucking it down.
"Combine all of this with the unexpected admission straight from the mouth of William Ayers himself to Anne Leary that he wrote the Obama book and there is but one conclusion to draw: Barack Obama has been lying about his relationship with Terrorist Ayers for years."


bwahahahahaha
