Bill Ayers: U.S. should ‘build monuments to the unknown deserters’ like Bergdahl
Hot Air ^ | July 1, 2014 | Noah Rothman

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.

I didn’t watch that interview. This scum criminal should be in prison instead of being interviewed as though he is a star.

The paradox is that Ayers is perfectly happy with his heroes that killed 200 million people in the name of Socialism.

He must not have a piece in his brain that stimulates the logic node.

Based on what we now know, Obama is Bill Ayers in the White Hut.

Doesn't your dead GF count? Or, is she beyond "hurting"?

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.

Leftists never respond to the fact their satanic “religion” was responsible for >200 Million deaths in the 20th century.

Clearly, they lack the intellect to connect to dots between leftism and evil.

Or perhaps they do and embrace their evil.

Or both.

“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.”


BS, Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist.

He has publicly stated he is ,”guilty as hell, free as a bird”

He openly was trying to instigate a violent revolution to overthrow the United States government and advocated the murder of some 50 million American class enemies just like Stalin, Mao, Lenin and Pol Pot did if he was successful with his revolution.

We have plenty of those monuments. They’re the yellow lines in the road.

Let’s build a monument to them all. We’ll make a nice big sculpture of Templeton the Rat, from Charlotte’s web. Then well put it in Iraq so ISIS can blow it up.
