On Monday night, University professor and former Weather Underground founder Bill Ayers joined Fox News Channel host Megyn Kelly where he was grilled over his past violent activities and his controversial views. The interview became heated when Kelly and Ayers argued over whether the violence he advocated is equivalent to the violence perpetuated by the United States in conducting operations overseas.
“You sound like — with respect — Osama bin Laden,” Kelly said when Ayers asserted that it would be “fair and balanced” for American media outlets to examine the violent history of the United States as thoroughly as they do his activities.
Later, Ayers asserted that it was a “heroic thing to do” if it is proven that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl deserted his post. “I think, throughout history, we should build monuments to the unknown deserters,” he added, equating Bergdahl’s alleged desertion with those who fled the United States to avoid serving in Vietnam. “The people who look at the craziness that they are asked to participate in and say, ‘I’m not part of this.’”

Later in the interview, Kelly pressed Ayers to repent for his attempt to bomb a dance hall filled with U.S. soldiers. That nail-filled improvised explosive device went off prematurely, killing Ayer’s girlfriend at the time along with two others.
“You realize people could’ve been hurt, you admitted it in the beginning,” Kelly noted.
“I realized people could’ve been hurt,” Ayers answered. “Thank god they weren’t, but we made every attempt not to and they weren’t.”
“I don’t say it wasn’t reckless and I don’t say it wasn’t illegal, it was illegal,” he added.
“You could have murdered somebody with those bombs,” Kelly shot back.
“The people who were conducting the war in Vietnam actually murdered people,” Ayers insisted.

we should build monuments to the unknown deserters,
We do...they are called latrines.
Thats French, ya know...
This jackass was profiled by the New York Times with a photo of his stepping on the American flag. ON SEPTEMBER 11th, 2001 the article ran! I kid you not.
It is a poor decision on Megyn’s part to give this psychopath air time. He is unrepentant. There is no good that can come from trying to argue with, or make sense of, that which is inherently and blatantly evil.
Where’s an Esso station when you need one?
Ayers knows the wars are crazy because he works for the elites who instigate and manage the wars.
Ayers can’t say this to the sheeple though.
The sheeple need to keep thinking that communism is against the elites, instead of figuring out that communism is the elites’ government of choice.
sure bill. we’ll put you right in the middle of the concrete. flippin commie terrorist ass.
he should’be’dead.
One thing Ayers said four times, which was a lie, was that the US was killing “6,000 Vietnamese a week” during the war.
That comes out to 312,000 a year (52 x 6,000). He implied that they were all So. Vietnamese, mainly civilians and some liberation forces, the Viet Cong (won’t say No. Vietnamese, who were being killed in large numbers starting in 1965, esp. at the Ia Drang Valley).
Civilian casualties in SVn due to all causes are debated but were significant because:
*the Viet Minh (later the Viet Cong/NLF), started their campaign of terrorism in 1955 and ramped it up during the mid-1960’s, cuminating in the Hue Massacre of about 8,000 So. Vietnamese civilians, govt officials and captured ARVN soldiers (I have a list of almost 4,000 of these victims, plus another SVN book listing over 62,000 SVN officials and others kidnapped/killed by the VC/NVA from 1954 - 1972).
Figures on Communist terrorism caused casualties in SVN up to December 1971, can be found in the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee compendium study Dave Martin and I did in 1971, published in Feb. 1972. It should be on the internet, or at the Texas Tech Vietnam Archives site.
An update of these figures should appear in the decades later “Black Book of Communism” (about 1991).
It is estimated, based on the figures in the Senate study, Senate hearings on refugees (often fudged by Sen. Kennedy’s staff), and the Aurora Foundation study of Hanoi’s murderous occupation of So. Vietnam after it fell to the communists, that at least 150,000 So. Vietnamese civilians were killed by the reds in a deliberate campaign of murder.
About 250,000 ARVN/VNAF/Navy forces were killed in action, with tens of thousands being executed or killed by other means in concentration camps.
Tens of thousands of SVN officials and civilians were kidnapped by the Communists and literally none ever returned
(a handful were in a prisoner exchange and ARVN/US forces liberated a few VC concentration camps in the Mekong Delta).
Hanoi admitted that it lost over 1,000,000 (1.3 million) troops during the war (whether this included VC/NLF forces - indigenous southern communists, is not clear).
Also unclear is whether this 1.3 M included PAVN troops lost in Laos and Cambodia (where at least 6 NVA divisions were encamped - 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th Divisions. I interviewed NVA POWS in Cambodia from the 6th Division, a unit which later showed up at the battle of An Loc).
Ayers claim that we killed “6,000 SVN a week” is just another in his long psychopathic lying campaign to justify his/Weathermen bombing/terrorism campaign in the US, including the murder of San Franciso policeman Brian McDonnell.
His wife, Bernadine Dohrn, is also a psychopath, but she is smart enough to keep her mouth shut, leaving hubby to do the disinformation campaign about who the Weathermen really were.
Megan Kelly did a good job of challenging him on the domestic scene terrorism, but she didn’t know anything about Vietnam and couldn’t challenge his “6,000” dead claim.
However, those of us who were in So. Vietnam and Cambodia can and will continue to do so.
Meanwhile, we are also working to put both Dohrn and Ayers in jail, for life, for the murder of Officer McDonnell. They did it but the evidence that could put them away was compromised by the police and not admissible in court.
Officer McDonnell’s son is leading this campaign as well as Cliff Kincaid and his organization USAsurvival.org (great website with photos and reports that you can see for free).
Tonight Ayers will lie again, but hopefully Kelly will counter him whenever she can. He’s a smug, arrogant marxist psychopath, but that can also be his undoing.
We need to keep the research pressure on because one day something is going to be found that can be admissible in court and it will put his red ass in jail forever.
Obama will be sadly missing a couple of his neighborhood friends. After all, he performed his political coup in their house in going after leftist Alice Palmer’s seat in the Illinois Senate. That meeting was so full of communists and assorted marxists that you couldn’t spit in the room without hitting one. Color Obama “red”.
In fact, Obama’s neighborhood was so full of communists, radicals, racial extremists and wackos that it could serve as the perfect model for a lunatic asylum (Wright, Farrakhan, Wolfe, Ayers/Dohrn, etc). Maybe this explains why Obama is both a marxist, a closet Moslem and a traitor.
He should be scuba diving with bin Laden.

Better strangled by his anus......
US should incarcerate known violent traitors like Mr. Ayers’ who aligned with the North Vietnamese military during our war against them and engaged in terrorist activities, staged riots, etc, on the homeland.
—==00.00==—
Makes as much sense as prosecuting 90 year old prison guards from Europe....
This traitor sponsored a president’s entrance into politics. History needs to show this bum for the convicted felon he was.

Ayers' father was the head of Commonwealth Edison, the BIG electric company in Illinois. Daddy used to fund Students for a Democratic Society which perpetrated violence against the US and its citizens and served as the cadre that ultimately produced Obozo. Daddy was probably a "Republican" like UpChuck Percy and Lowell Weicker and other children of privilege who played for the other team and I don't mean the mere Democrat one.
Ayres' wife is the former Bernardine (the radical queen) Dohrn , born Bernardine Ohrnstein. She was known as that rarity, an attractive radical, and she featured skin tight leather microskirts. She is not inclined to leave any advantage unused. Of course, time marches on and in 2022 she is scheduled to be 80 years old.
Bernardine figured out, as you say, that "communism is the elites' government of choice." She figured that out hen still young enough to attract and marry Bill Ayres which has left her as comfortable as she chose ever since.
The “monument to the unknown deserters” should be erected over Ayres’ grave.
Prison is too good for that arrogant scum-ball. How about the firing squad. I volunteer.
