So basically, some wingnut attended a Bill Ayers presentation at Montclair State University and filmed it, and at the end, asked Ayers about Obama’s book. Ayers either knew the guy or knew what he was digging at, smirked, and told him that yes, he wrote Obama’s memoir, and he would like some of the royalties. This has had the predictable reaction from the wingnut right:
If you are like me and have come to grips with who you are and realize that you simply can not avoid gawking, I highly recommend you go to memeorandum and check out some of the links. It is teh AWESOME, especially the comments at some of the sites.
It seriously is like David Lynch was asked to re-imagine the train wreck in The Greatest Show on Earth, and it really resembles a clown car pileup while on acid. Strewn across the littered, smoking landscape are disemboweled rubber chickens, deflated whoopie cushions, crushed toy cars smeared with old cotton candy and dingy clown white makeup, all the while some circus geeks run around using Harpo clown horns and screaming about textual analysis. It’s so much awesome I can barely control myself.

It does resemble the kind of stuff you see on 9/11 truth message boards. The kind of stuff that makes you think the person writing it is dumber than a box of rocks, and should be placed in a straightjacket.
I know that demographics will take care of this stuff over time, but I worry about the inevitable violence that will come with it.

Yes, the pathetic part is that this isn’t even the first time Ayers has done this. Can you blame him? If I were Ayers, at this point I’d be stepping up my game a bit and have an ISBN handy to “prove” there was a suppressed first edition credited to me. Memorize it and give it verbally to random wingnuts who really annoy me. Kick back with a drink and watch the carnage unfold as thousands of wingtards perform numerology on the fake ISBN, submit FOIA requests for the first edition, and howl that the fact they can’t find a record of it anywhere only proves that it’s true.

Except of course they don’t actually have plenty of real issues with him. Look at their complaints – they bitch about him supporting a health-care plan that is essentially the one that Republicans have been pushing since Nixon was in office. In fact there’s not a single thing that Obama’s done that if a Republican had done it, they would complain about. He’s bent over backwards to accommodate and try to find middle ground, and because of that their complaints all sound phony.
So they hang on the things that they really hate about him – the fact that he’s a black man who won the presidency. That’s what this shit is about – he couldn’t have possibly written his own book because damn, black men aren’t that smart. He uses a teleprompter because damn, black men aren’t that smart. And on. And on. And on.
Part of it is that they want to believe that he’s dumber than George W Bush because they hate the fact that their most recent Republican president was so goddamn stupid. But mostly they vehemently reject the idea that a black man could be smart, so they need to find something to de-legitimize it.

I had so hoped to keep this secret with me forever, but I feel the imp of the perverse within me, and might as well divulge it here as anywhere else.
I was an editor at the Honolulu Advertiser in 1961. I had a friend who was one of the higher ups in the local Democratic party, I won’t tell you his real name but let’s just call him Ed. He called me up one day and said, “[my own name redacted], I’m calling in that favor you owe me. I want you to print a name in the birth announcements.” I was a little nonplussed, of course, since this wasn’t through the normal channels.
“Sure, Ed, I owe you one. What is it?”
“Barack H. Obama.”
“What th’ — What kind of name is that?”
“Not important, just need it in the paper tomorrow. And this is strictly on the QT.”
So I did it. I felt guilty about it for years, putting something in the paper when I had no idea if it was true or not. I’m not trying to make a buck off of it now, it just feels good to get it off my chest.
If you want to put this on the front page, John, that’s okay with me.
