Jack Cashill is just a conspiracy nutcase.
Many people write this way, if these idiots read more they’d see that.
I hope none of you buy into this crap. Obama, even if you don’t like him, is a brilliant, brilliant man. Don’t think for a second he couldn’t write this.
Ayers and Obama compared:
Fugitive Days:
“I picture the street coming alive, awakening from the fury of winter, stirred from the chilly spring night by cold glimmers of sunlight angling through the city.”
The second from Dreams:
“Night now fell in midafternoon, especially when the snowstorms rolled in, boundless prairie storms that set the sky close to the ground, the city lights reflected against the clouds.”

wtf? srsly? this is hilarious; imagine if this were true?
BubbalaOctober 30th, 2008 - 6:32 am
Hahahaha, Barry-Barack is a faker. Just an utter faking fraud of a crackhead faker. As many of us have long suspected.
@ srsly: yes, there’s been a lot of discussion about this possibility, which seems to have led up to it now being taken to the serious analytic degree of this report. You CAN discern an author by language, it just takes close analysis, but, it’s certainly possible.
What’s interesting is that Obama refuses to discuss his years at Columbia — the only thing he says about those years is that he “moved around a lot” (”place to place”) (due to impoverishment)…and it turns out he had a phone listed in his name at one address for most of the time he was at Columbia, AND at a location he has acknowledged residing at (so he either had people living there using his phone service, which he paid for, or, he actually continued to live there throughout his years at Columbia), AND, it was in the same block or nearto the block where Ayers and ugly wife lived. Ayers and wife graduated just a year before/after Barry/Barack from Columbia. It’s hihgly unlikely that they so much as never knew one another there, and only met later in Chicago as Barry/Barack tries to tell people now.
Thus, it’s more than likely that the reason Barry/Barack has blacked out his years at Columbia from the public is because he doesn’t want people to know he’s lying (again) about not knowing Ayers and wife, and, that they shared involvements during the Columbia years (Weathermen, for example).
Barry/Barack claims he was a member of the Black Students League (or something named like that) Organization, something, and the guy who was Pres. of that group at Columbia while Barry / Barack was there never heard of Barry Soetoro OR Barack Obama through that group. Group pictures don’t show Barry/Barack, either.
Barack’s looking like a pathological liar, his whole lifelong. Question is, WHY?
Scott quit interrupting! He’s a lot more interesting to listen to than you are.
This “interview” is like watching a football game. You got the live action while the sportscasters narrates. We don’t need a narrator giving us the play-by-play. We are not idiots. Just let the guy speak.
Maybe if you “upped” your “on-the-air” interviewing techniques you could get a real broadcast job.
You should save all background information on the author for his/her introduction instead of jumping in here and there “to point out” stuff.
Try getting rid of the phrase “let me point out” from your dialogs. Overuse of the phrase “let me point out” is evidence that you think that you are smarter and better informed than everyone else.
A lot of the topics you cover are very interesting yet you always ruin the broadcasts with your play-by-play narrating. A good rule of thumb for you is “when you don’t need to say something, don’t!”

ashton- you don’t do your so-called cause, any good when your argument is that people that do not want what the Socialist Obama offers…you call them raaaacists. How old are you?
I’m sure there are some racist people that are not going to vote for Obama because of his creed or color, I hate to have to school you – That is a minority of people that will vote against him,for that reason. If you want to go there,add the question – are blacks racist because they, the majority 98.9%+ are going to vote against the older white guy and white woman? This goes both ways, if you want go there? Virgins do not hang around with pro-stitutes and patriots do not hang around with Bill Ayers types… terrorists, anarchists. It really is that simple. It has nothing to do with race, it has to do with our Country.
GoldilocksOctober 30th, 2008 - 9:37 am
Barack Obama does not need a ghostwriter. Who writes your stuff anyway? It is really lame!
By the way, the video mentions the two different covers of the Dreams From My Father book. Look more closely at the one referred to as the “sepia” cover. It’s for the audiobook, not the print edition.
gunn linoOctober 30th, 2008 - 9:52 am
Hey Ashton, so someone disagrees with you about this make them, automatically, racist assholes. So much for free speech and the right of dissent, at least as far as you are concerned.
I agree with Cashill about Obama’s speech though have never read Obama’s books. somehow the american public talk about obama and his great speeches
I listen to obama and hear the African accent well hidden and not impressed with his method as a man who was brought up with a white family regardless of color would speak more as a white person educated or not.
janjOctober 30th, 2008 - 10:34 am
hey ashton are you black or just blind to the world that obammy has planned for you go to greta wire look at what tape is gonna be realesed on michelle obammy
obama is a puppet for something more sinister then even we can imagine. He’s been “groomed”. Bet on it.
Rays FanOctober 30th, 2008 - 11:56 am
Since I root for the Rays, Phillies fans must be racist since they disagree with me, right Ashton?
IrishKayOctober 30th, 2008 - 12:01 pm
If you really want to know about Obama, check out Jon Stewart’s interview with Obama on “The Daily Show” and watch Obama yuk it up about ‘the white folks’ and how we are all scared to have a beer with him, and that he’s in therapy because his ‘white half’ doesn’t know who to vote for” The video just came on BREITBART.TV check it out BEFORE YOU VOTE- NO, HE’S NOT PLAYING THE RACE CARD! WHAT A PIUS AZZ!
mandinkawarriorOctober 30th, 2008 - 1:07 pm
Breitbart tv and its lunatic followers again
Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man’s sense of values
and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false
You let your fears paint this man as other and foreign.What will you do if win?I know what I am going to do,start selling those tin foil hats to you guys.

So they basically think Obama isn’t smart enough to be a good writer? what the? This is stupid. Obama was president of the harvard law review, he can damn well write a friggin book.
Pathetic y’all.. pathetic
racist obama haterOctober 30th, 2008 - 6:29 pm
Hey, you Obama seminar bloggers, you must be hungry and thirsty after so much hyperventilating about your boy’s non-existent “qualifications” for the highest office in the land.
Can I get you something to drink or eat? Maybe you’ve got a craving for some bananas or something? Hey, wanna hear a funny story about the only monkey in a tree with a brief case, being called a “branch manager”? hahahaha….just having fun with ya!
tomatodonOctober 30th, 2008 - 7:48 pm
smegolicious sounds like another one of the many obama supporters who spend their days commenting on blogs in the hopes of depressing and dissuading McCain supporters from voting.
ive learned not to pay too much attention to them.
i know you for what you are.
DerekOctober 30th, 2008 - 8:31 pm
I still find it funny, with how much dirt there is on Obama, that people can still find excuses to defend the guy. Now we have people defending Ayers in this blog? You sheep are so blind and are just following him as he leads you off the cliff. NObama08 is 110% correct IMO. Open your eyes people, Obama will ruin this country.
JedOctober 30th, 2008 - 8:57 pm
Yeah, this will stop Obama!
God, delusional wingnuts are funny.
JROctober 30th, 2008 - 9:47 pm
If Ayers went on TV to admit this the Obama supporters still wouldn’t believe it. They are brainwashed beyond belief.
Fran BaconOctober 30th, 2008 - 11:42 pm
This guy is right on. He is smart. Only an unrepentant Socialist Terrorist could write this good!!
And Scott is Great! He is 20 times better than Rush, the girl looks as good as Ann Coulter but she never says anything, why is that.
Azul Del FuegoOctober 31st, 2008 - 12:12 am
I don’t care how much education Obama has, that doesn’t automatically give you the literary skills to write a book. I’ve often wondered why “Dreams of my Father” was dedicated to the one important person in his life that left him – Daddy. Why wouldn’t he dedicate this to his grandparents who actually loved and raised him? Answer: because he is so conflicted about his racial heritage that he can’t see clearly. Liberals are incredible racists.
This is truly irresponsible and can only reflect the hate and fear which has permeated this election process.
I had hoped the country had finished with those tactics — learned the lesson from 8 years of Bush – but clearly this virus continues to breed.
I suppose that if there were a video showing Obama writing the entire book, someone would claim it wasn’t him but rather a commie actor.
normanOctober 31st, 2008 - 10:21 pm
Allow me as a Canadian to say you Americans have proved yourselves to be the losers we always thought of you. Allow me to say with no disrespect to homosexuals that this bill ayers thing, and most of what the republicans are saying, is so childish and ridiculous, it deserve one word only: Faggit. Republicans have shown that intellectually they are like little girlies. Ayers! Boo! AHH! HAHAHAH… the USA is not free, never will be free, it’s run and filled by 50% morons. There is no freedom in stupidity.
LarryOctober 31st, 2008 - 10:27 pm
Two thing many republicans don’t get:
1. Bill Ayers could have been a terrorist, we don’t care. We don’t see things in black and white since nelson mandela was a terrorist, and also the USA has practiced torture and terrorism for decades. In fact we’d vote for mohammed attah if we thought he had the qualifications, thats the difference between a child and an adult like norman implied above.
2. Socialism is not communism, many semi-socialist countries are richer, stronger, and healthier than our country.
Let’s face it, Republicans are scared people, you can make them shit in their pants with any one of a selection of two-syllable words.
Hey smegolicious, instead of making ad homimen attacks why don’t you argue the facts? It’s ok to be in love with Obama, but don’t pretend a slur and a CV is an argument.
Jack Cashill is just a conspiracy nutcase.
