Bill Ayers To Celebrate Obama Victory With Bestseller

Ooh look, Barack Obama’s best terrorist friend Bill Ayers and his wife, famous “FBI Ten Most Wanted List” alum Bernardine Dohrn, have written a delightful romp about the dominance of white supremacy in the annals of American power to be published in 2009, right after a black dude becomes president. We smell a right-wing conspiracy! You know all of those recent Republican robocalls about Bill Ayers? Eh, just one of those fancy “viral marketing” strategies from New York City. Now the book will sell a billion copies and this couple will make a fortune on royalties. Think of all the cool bombs they’ll be able to buy now, HENNGGGHH? [Amazon]

    Wait…seriously?

    I think Bill Ayers might actually be Sean Hannity.

    Dammit Bill Ayers, you are not helping things. Puhlleze just go hide under a rock for a while.

    What’s a race course? Is that like a race track but where instead of driving fast you win by taking notes the fastest and scoring highest on the pop quizzes?

    Whoa, the cover of that book is giving me the heebie-jeebies! Those guys look like zombies?! Holy shit, have the annals of American power been dominated by ZOMBIES?

    I’m making my African-American Studies professors proud with this comment.

    No doubt Rev. Wright wrote the preface.

    I am aware of all Internet traditions except “HENNGGGHH.”

    swarm of bees: I could be mistaken, but I believe that those are Paulson and Bernanke on the cover, back in the sixties when Bernanke still had hair…. just guessing….

    Naked Bunny with a Whip: Buy their books together and save!

  10. mattbolt says at 4:57 pm, October 22nd, 2008

    Nice cover art, Bill! Nice Bevel effect on that Impact font! Next time add a lens flare, ASS.

  11. He certainly can’t be talking about NASCAR race courses!

  12. John McClain says at 4:59 pm, October 22nd, 2008

    Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright could go on a barnstorming, flagburning, baby-aborting spree from now ’til Nov. 3 and John McCain would find some way to not capitalize on it. He’s that good at being that bad. He’s the candidate you wouldn’t even want to sit down and have a tall warm can of Ensureā„¢ with.

  13. mattbolt says at 4:59 pm, October 22nd, 2008

    Has some right-wing morning radio jockey already made a “Throw yo hands in the Ayer, Ay-, Ayer, Ayer, Ay-, Ayer” song parody?

  14. Hmmm. Interesting that the About the Author blurb says very little about his radical past. And by “very little”, I mean “nothing”.

  15. Wait a damn fuQin’ second. What kind of Marxists are these guys anyway? Surley they will celebrate by setting fire to their neighborhoods?

    Viva La Revolucion!

    Che lives!

    Burn Baby Burn!

  16. BillyClubb:

    Makes sense to me. He knows nobody’s gonna buy his book after the election.

  17. magic titty says at 5:03 pm, October 22nd, 2008

    Fucking Bill Ayers. Is he trying to bomb Hopey’s campaign?
    Douche…nozzle…

  18. White supremacist slot car racers just in time for Christmas! It’s the new toy all the aryan kids want!

  19. Uh, you guys do realize this isn’t a book, but the new game for the Xbox 360?

    It’s a little odd - you do stuff like race your Escalade against Brooke Shields in a VW Routan. I’ve heard some people complain it’s in poor taste, but really, it isn’t any worse than, say, GTA IV.

    OT I know, but Barry is currently enjoying a 24 point lead in Florida early voting according to the Secretary of Sunshine State:

  22. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 5:12 pm, October 22nd, 2008

    That’s some freaky cover art. Looks more like something you’d find on the cover of a pamphlet promoting white supremecy.

  23. whiteasasheet says at 5:13 pm, October 22nd, 2008

    My, that’s an attractive cover. It’ll sell like crazy, no doubt.

  24. shortsshortsshorts: Let’s get a Supreme Court decision to close the polls and determine the vote now.

  25. Rachel Ray Jihad says at 5:21 pm, October 22nd, 2008

    Zombie John Brown and Zombie Frederick Douglass will totally ruin inauguration day.

  26. Bill Ayers is teh Bomb.

  27. Also, someone set us up the bomb.

    grendel: Boo ya. INSTANT WALNUTS VICTORY.

  30. Lazy Media says at 5:40 pm, October 22nd, 2008

    Does white supremacy have anything to do with Diana Ross?

  31. problemwithcaring says at 5:40 pm, October 22nd, 2008

    magic titty: Sadly, who needs Bill Ayers, when your running mate can’t stop talking the many and imminent would-be crises of your fictional first days as president…

  32. writechic says at 6:06 pm, October 22nd, 2008

    He wrote AGAINST white supremacy? No wonder the GOP is foaming at the mouth.

  33. lawrenceofthedesert says at 6:18 pm, October 22nd, 2008

    Disney is making it into a movie starring Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers.

  34. rocktonsammy says at 6:54 pm, October 22nd, 2008

    I thought his bombs targeted only elite white college fags, I’m confused.

  35. Barack Like Me says at 7:20 pm, October 22nd, 2008

    Dinitia Smith, the lady reporter who wrote the NYT Op/Ed profile piece on Ayers that was published on the morning of 9/!!, (that’s the one that’s got Hannity’s knickers all in a bunch), is the wife of a college professor of mine and way, way, way back in 1986 she wrote a piece that was in NY Magazine that had little ole me in it. I was supposed to be the featured subject, but due to how I was conducting my life at the time I demurely deferred, since I didn’t want that sort of thing written about, and settled for a bit mention in the piece, passing the glory on to a fellow co-worker, who, by the way, was a hard-working black man.

    If the McCain team had any smarts they’d try to bring up my association with writers that wrote about domestic anti-Vietnam terrorists wishing that they had done more and try to hang that association on Mister Obama in yet another vain attempt of theirs to bring him down.

    Given how desperate they’re getting these days this probably isn’t as improbable as it sounds.

  36. I have a friend who was in was a professor in the same department with Ayers at UIC. Apparently the closer you are to him, the nicer and more peaceful a guy he is.

    The further away, the more of a coldblooded prick.

    I’m started to think that the view from a distance is the truth.

  37. nutcracker says at 11:05 pm, October 22nd, 2008

    Bill Ayers is married to Bernadine Dohrn? Back in my young days in the 60’s as a pot-smoking, acid-taking, draft-dodging hippie, Bernadine Dohrn was THE HOT BABE that every one of us wanted to make love, not war, with. Google her and you’ll see what I mean.

  38. Lascauxcaveman says at 1:22 am, October 23rd, 2008

    nutcracker: Huh. The more recent pix looks like she’s a pleasant enough lady, but those early mug shots just scream out RUN! RUN AWAY WHILE YOU CAN!!!
