Sarah Palin has announced that she is resigning as the Governor of Alaska. She didn't say why she decided to step down, but the surprise announcement stirred speculation that she would focus on a bid for the 2012 Republican nomination for president. The former Republican vice presidential candidate made the announcement from her home in suburban Wasilla on Friday morning. She said she would step down...
Former Secretary of State, Colin Powell's intellectual dishonesty has led him to a realization that you and I faced up to long ago: The Obama administration is determined to lead this country to financial destruction. Powell knows it. When he, a Republican-in-name-only, endorsed Barack Obama, characterized Obama's association with William Ayers as "very, very limited," indicated the issues...

Via Salon (via Wonkette ), we learn that Jack Cashill has still not given up on his loopy conspiracy theory that William Ayers ghost-wrote Barack Obama's book "Dreams From My Father." In a June 28 American Thinker article , Cashill proclaimed he had new evidence that "should dispel the doubts of all but the willfully blind that Ayers played a substantial role, likely the primary role,...
Last fall an Internet hobo named Jack Cashill broke a certain “biggest political scandal ever” proving that Bill Ayers, the hippie terrorist, colluded with then-Sen. Barack Obama, in 1995, to ghostwrite the latter’s profane memoir, Dreams From My Father. Cashill noticed that several...
Last year Jack Cashill, a blogger at American Thinker , presented iron-clad proof that former Weatherman and Obama ally William Ayers actually ghost-wrote Barack Obama's book Dreams of My Father . His proof ? There are a lot of similar words in that book and in books written by commie-pinko-DFH Ayers. Although there are only the briefest of literal sea experiences in Dreams , the following words appear...

You’ve probably heard at some point about the fractious world of literary criticism. Deep differences divide the various schools of thought: Is the historical context of a work relevant, or should scholars stick to the inherent features and form of the text? Is there a political function intrinsic to literature? Did Barack Obama actually write his first book, Dreams From My Father? Yes, there's...
Most of the responsible Hillary-friendly bloggers hesitate to address the question of Obama's relationship with former Weathermen Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. I, on the other hand, feel that this is an issue worthy of study. I would not relegate such discussion to those eldritch blog-realms where geeks meditate upon green birth certificates and trade theories about Obi's secret jihadi agenda. Please...
"And what they find beneath the surface, of course, is the disturbing truth about power disparities in the real America, which each refers to as an 'imperial culture.' Speaking of which, both insist that 'knowledge' is 'power' and seem consumed by the uses or misuses of power. Ayers, in fact, evokes the word 'power' and its derivatives 75 times in Fugitive Days, Obama 83 times in Dreams."...
The Awful Truth In my last post, I noted the disquieting fact that Nick Gillespie, the editor of Reason, misquotes Carl Sandburg in the same way as Bill Ayers. Using Jack Cashill's methodology, I have now discovered frightening new evidence...

This is an interesting mystery story. Either these two men have read the same books, had the same friends, done the same things and now think exactly alike, or Bill Ayers wrote large segments of President Obama’s memoir “Dreams of...
by hilzoy Of all the bits of lunacy unleashed by the prospect that Barack Obama might actually win the election, my personal favorite was Jack Cashill's claim that Bill Ayers had ghostwritten Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father, based on...
This is enough to send shivers up your spine. Jack Cashill has been studying the writings of Barack Obama and William Ayers for months. Last fall he published a few articles noting the eerie similarity between Obama’s Dreams from my Father and the writings of Bill Ayers. He also found that there was no such similarity [...]
