Ayers again...did a terrorist write Obama's autobiography? Does the Right understand the meaning of AUTObiography?!?!

The next topic I will cover concerns the claim that Barack Obama did not write his own autobiography, instead it was penned by former and "unrepentant" terrorist, Bill Ayers.  Of course this serves not only to discredit Obama and his ability to pen his own autobiography, it also insinuates there is a much deeper connection between Obama and Ayers and suggests the terrorist had a much greater influence on Obama's thoughts than he has admitted.  

A Republican supporter offered $10,000 to a professor at Oxford to run a piece of software that can compare literary works for similarities in the author's writing styles.  $10 grand to discredit Obama.  Of course, with the sample provided, the conclusion was that there was not a significant similarity and the works were likely not penned by Ayers as was implied.  When asked to analyze the entire works for a more conclusive answer, the Oxford professor said he would do it despite the doubt he had there was any relation that could be proved, but he would of course release the results either way.  The Republican operative fell back and dropped the issue when he couldn't control the results.
