Bill Ayers, Obama\u2019s terrorist buddy, was in Montclair, New Jersey at Montclair State University at a Students for a Democratic Society event. Bill Ayers, the former Weather Underground leader, and I\u2019m gonna play this without comment. We\u2019ll throw this in the mix with Reverend Wright and Calypso Louie and you can just have whatever fun with it you want. An unidentified student at Mr. Ayers\u2019 appearance, &#8220;What is your opinion of Barack Obama\u2019s style as a writer?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125111.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"280\" height=\"263\" class=\"alignright\"\/>AYERS: The first book is very good. The second book is a more of a political hack book. But the first book is quite good.<\/p>\n<p>STUDENT: Right. Also just, you mentioned about the Pentagon and how all&#8230; (crosstalk) <\/p>\n<p>AYERS: Did you know that I wrote it, incidentally? <\/p>\n<p>STUDENT: What\u2019s that?<\/p>\n<p>AYERS: I wrote that, Dreams from My Father.<\/p>\n<p>STUDENT: Yeah we know.<\/p>\n<p>STUDENT: You wrote that? <\/p>\n<p>AYERS: Yeah, and if you could help me prove it I\u2019ll split the royalties with you. (laughter)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, this is the second time that Ayers has said that he wrote Dreams from My Father. That\u2019s Obama\u2019s first book. (imitating Ayers) &#8220;Yeah, the first book\u2019s quite good. I wrote it. The second book, it\u2019s a hack book, a political hack book. If you could help me prove it, I\u2019ll split the royalties with you.&#8221; Class laughs. Some people believe it. I\u2019ll tell you why they believe it, because Ayers is part of the group that\u2019s very unhappy that Obama is waging war in Libya; that we\u2019re not out of Guantanamo Bay; that we\u2019re not out of Iraq, and that we added to Afghanistan. So I play this for you so that you can be your own judge. I think Ayers happens to be tweaking everybody with this, because the accusation\u2019s out there. There\u2019s no question Ayers is a better writer than Obama is. But the allegation\u2019s been out there that Ayers wrote the first book, or maybe even both of them, so any time he mentions it now, it\u2019s almost like a joke.<\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I want to play you a sound bite from last Thursday.
