Articles: Bill Ayers' Semi-Fictional Black Surrogates: "Say what one will about the sanity of Ayers' educational philosophy, there is no denying his sincerity. He has been plugging away at educational reform his entire adult life. Dreams, I will argue, gave him the opportunity to address the one great obstacle to the reform of Chicago schools -- namely, an obstructionist black educational bureaucracy. To make his case in the book, Ayers employs three semi-fictional African American surrogates, the third of whom easily being the least fictional and most useful.And just wow. Drop everything and RTWT. I'll wait.
To be sure, there is much other evidence to believe that Ayers crafted Dreams: the comprehensive postmodern patois that Obama and Ayers share, the matching 50 or so nautical metaphors, the shared use of the Conrad-like triple-parallels, the nearly fetishistic eye and eyebrow metaphors, the three stunning parallel stories, the four matching errors, the same weary '60s worldview, the borrowed Ayers girlfriend in Dreams, the inarguably similar Homeric openings, the dramatically inferior writings of Obama before and after Dreams, and more. It is Ayers' strategic use of black surrogates, however, that will tell us why he involved himself in Dreams."
And what's most amazing is how vacuous this whole leftist internecine drivel of Ayers' is. Not criticizing the black educational establishment personally because he'll be a victim of his own insane political correctness turned against himself?
And then there's the pitiful -- and pitiless -- result: O Duce. Insofar is there might be a kernel to Ayer's obsession with destroying the (black and white?) educational establishment, O Duce's "stimulus" was nothing if not a giant subsidy for it.
Whatever is going on in Billy's risible twisted little mind I can't know. But above all else he is laughing at you for being his gullible sock puppet.
