Earlier, we reported that there was some very interesting evidence that Bill Ayers was actually the writer of Barack Obama's "Dreams of My Father". Read about it here. Now you can add the following correlation than tends to further prove the theory. From Experimentum Crucis:
Some may know that there has been strongly evidenced suggestions that Barack Obama may have had his two books ghostwritten by William Ayers, essentially refuting that there is no relationship between the two.
The initial evidence centered around the facts that the writing techniques between Barack Obama's book Dreams From My Father was eerily similar to those of Fugitive Days, William Ayers autobiography. From Dr. Jack Cashill over at his website:"Prior to 1990, when Barack Obama contracted to write Dreams From My Father, he had written very close to nothing.Jack Cashill's analysis focuses on two specific sentences from both books and here is his analysis:
As an undergraduate, Obama had written what he justifiably calls some “very bad poetry.” He published nothing under his own name in The Harvard Law Review, where he served as an editor and as president. And after leaving Harvard, he published nothing in its review or in any law journal."These two sentences are alike in more than their poetry, their length and their gracefully layered structure. They tabulate nearly identically on the Flesch Reading Ease Score (FRES), something of a standard in the field.Now, with all of that said, one has to look at the time line to see if the ghostwriting is even plausible based on time constraints, mainly because William Ayers is the author of a few other books and may not have had the time to write Obama's book in between his own. Through a little research, I was able to extract the following data:
The “Fugitive Days” excerpt scores a 54 on reading ease and a 12 th grade reading level. The “Dreams’” excerpt scores a 54.8 on reading ease and a 12 th grade reading level. Scores can range from 0 to 121, so hitting a nearly exact score matters.
Between 1989 and 2008, William Ayers wrote around 17 different books. During this time frame, he averaged one year between each of his published works, that is, except for two distinct breaks that appear in Ayers' publishing history. The first break that we see with Ayers book releases was between April of 1989 and August of 1995. Dreams From My Father was published during the time that Ayers had that break. The second break by William Ayers took place between September 2005 and basically right now. During this second break Obama's book, The Audacity of Hope was released.
Doesn't it seem VERY coincidental that Obama's books were written at the same time that William Ayers was taking breaks in his own literary aspirations?
