Bill Ayers admits he wrote "Dreams From My Father"

[Kthulhut Fhtagn]

T - And if I say yes, what then?

You could try answering him first. Waiting to answer a question until you hear the follow-up just smacks of dishonesty on your part.

LOL! Say the defenders of Ayers. Should I mention he's a communist?

Oh my ... he couldn't be your mentor professor by any chance?

 

[mysteronyx]

From BAC's waddling, it's apparent that he has no proof that Ayers admitted to anything.

game over

Ayers: "I wrote that Dreams book."

And of course, you dance around answering a question by trying to deflect to someone else. Why don't you answer the question that was asked? You have nothing to lose and even some integrity to gain.

The game never started. This is typical BAC here -- ignore counter-arguments, ridicule them if you don't, deflect questions, and pretend you were right all along.

Nah, I just asked you a question that you've been dancing around for some time.

Red herring so noted. Try answering the question now?

On the morning of March 24, "Jim" emailed Ayers at his University of Illinois at Chicago address: "Jack Cashill's new book makes an overwhelming case that you wrote 'Dreams from My Father.' In addition it recounts an encounter with a blogger, Anne Leary, in October 2009 at Reagan airport where you acknowledged to her that you wrote the book."

Jim continued, "Why don't you just go public with a straightforward statement about your role?"

As it happens, this was the same day Ayers was to speak at Montclair State. Jim was not connected to the group videotaping Ayers at Montclair and knew nothing of its strategy. His email may well have prompted Ayers' videotaped claim of authorship.

Ayers responded politely to Jim an hour later, "As you note in you letter, I did indeed acknowledge that I wrote the book to Anne at Reagan, and over and over since then. So what more do you want me to do?"

Red? Yes, I guess that color might be appropriate.

Did BAC just admit he's a communist? wow

 

[BeAChooser]

Did BAC just admit he's a communist?

No, but Ayers has.

And KF said he admired communists and said he has an "openly communist professor".

So I'm just wondered if that might be Ayers and noted that KF evaded that question.

He didn't even respond, "And if I say yes, what then?"

... because he knows *what then*?

And the woo goes 'round and 'round.

And it comes out here (.)

I thought Regan beat communism.

 

[fullflavormenthol]

Lets just say that I'm a communist.

Ayers was joking.

Have you read Dreams of My Father and Audacity of Hope yet?

This does not seem to be the tool of scientific analysis. Seems to me that using it as such is like bringing in a focus group survey to calibrate your lab balance.

Yeah. From your quote:

FictionFixer™ applies computational literary stylistics (including corpus linguistics), deep-structure pattern-recognition, predictive modeling, and information theory to enhance a book’s potential position on "the list."

What the hell is "deep-structure pattern-recognition"? Did this guy just go to the library and check out a 1960s linguistic book to help him devise his tool?

I also note that BAC is strangely silent about his relationship with Michelle Robinson. Why doesn't he put an end to the rumors flying around in the internet?

You know what's sad? When the other guy is taking a piss all over you, and you're too dense to realize.

Exactly. I have seen tools to find plagiarism, but analyzing a book to find similarities in writing can be hard, because changes in writing happen over the course of an authors lifetime. Often one writer can look at the work of another writer and adopt similarities by adapting writing styles. I once took a literature class in Trickster fiction and after reading a specific selection of works my writing assignments would mimic those works. Not because of plagiarism, but because I had read enough of the writer that my style was changed by it. Heck after reading the Glass Key by Dashiell Hammett my work went from a first person to a third person that didn't deal with the thoughts of characters, merely because I was so inspired that I followed his style for a while.

I am not a published writer, but anyone will eventually follow a style they read a lot of. This includes works written from an academic point of view. My work evaluating Watchmen is far different than my animal trickster tale even though they were written within two years of each other. Like I wrote earlier, one could look at my first post and compare it to this one and see a marked difference...to the point of concluding that they were written by two different people. It is a matter of life experience and having read more works than the first time one posted.

Ok so he was sort of joking.

Has he ever simply denied writing the book?

 

[timhau]

Has BAC ever simply denied being the guy who dated Michelle Robinson until Obama came along? Has he ever simply denied that Obama peed in his cereals after stealing his girl?
