Fox News Hypes Bill Ayers Interview Like It's 2008

For Fox News, the Bill Ayers obsession will never go away.

We may be years removed from the 2008 presidential election, when Sarah Palin accused Barack Obama of "palling around" with the anti-war radical, retired professor and former domestic terrorist, but Ayers hasn't fallen off the right's radar.

Look no further than Fox's much-ballyhooed "exclusive" interview with Ayers this week. Megyn Kelly, Fox's self-described "straight-news anchor," sat down with the Weather Underground leader last week, and she and the network have been hyping the interview ever since.

She offered a dramatic preview Thursday on her program, "The Kelly File."

"Well, he was a main figure in Barack Obama's presidential campaign back in 2008. The terrorist Sarah Palin accused Mr. Obama of 'palling around with,'" Kelly teased. "For months, he dodged the press until after his friend was elected President of the United States. It has been six years and for the first time ever the man who is personally believed to have set several bombs off in this country comes into the Fox News headquarters and answers for his acts."

1. He's going to Fox News to answer for his acts? I thought we had laws against cruel and unusual

punishment.

2. Weather Underground?

Maybe he'll be talking about Tropical Storm Arthur?

3. The same repugs say 'stop blaming bush, he hasn't been president for almost 6 years',

But want to flip flop here to talk about the relevance of this guy's actions 40 years ago.
