Tuesday night Megyn Kelly aired the first part of a two-part interview with domestic terrorist and friend of Obama, Bill Ayers. Kelly approached Ayers like a relentless prosecutor, using his own words to condemn his responses.  Ayers repeatedly attempted to turn the conversation away from his violent actions and towards the United States. At one point Kelly responded, "Let me just tell you what I hear when I hear that, I hear you saying, you sound like, with respect, Osama bin Laden."

After a short video describing Ayers terrorist history and his relationship with President Obama, Kelly started off fast and direct

Kelly: So we have to talk about you and your domestic terrorist past. Let's start with this, let's start with this. How many bombings are you responsible for?

Ayers: The Weather Underground I think took credit for just slightly over 20 in a period when there were 20,000 bombings in the United States against the war.

Kelly: And how about you personally.

Ayers: Me personally, I've never talked about it, never will.

Kelly: OK. You could have hurt some people.

Ayers: Absolutely.

Kelly: You acknowledge that.

Ayers: Absolutely.

Kelly: You claim you never did but you acknowledge the risks.

Ayers: Oh, there was a terrible risk and we actually did hurt three of our own people died in the townhouse in New York City in 1970 and that was an incalculable, horrible, devastating loss and yet what they apparently planning to do would have been more devastating. 

Every time Kelly brought up another Weather Underground bombing which his group took credit for, Ayers denied the credit saying it was the propaganda of the time.  He went on:

Ayers: But, you know, one of the things I think that's interesting about these activities of forty years ago, I don't think it's bad to kind of steer through them and try to understand them.

Kelly: You have written about them extensively --

Ayers: Have I've written about them myself? Absolutely. But I think it would be fair and balanced to also look at the violence that was and is going on perpetrated by the government, by the official agencies and organs of the government.

Kelly: Let me just tell you what I hear when I hear that, I hear you saying, you sound like, with respect, Osama bin Laden?

Ayers: What?

Kelly: In order to evaluate my actions which have hurt a lot of people, right? I know you deny it but there's evidence --

Ayers: I deny it.

​Later Kelly took him through other specific acts done by Ayers when he went underground, each time Ayers justified it by the deaths caused by American soldiers in Vietnam. But Kelly wasn't hearing any of it as she continued with her prosecutorial-type questions:

Kelly: Your critics say, when you make that argument, you sound like Adolph Hitler. Now, this is from the same documentary that we've been pulling clips from. This is a man a man who was part of the Weather Underground talking about you, saying you were closer to Hitler than you were to Gandhi. Listen (she plays a clip from an interview of former member of the weathermen Todd Gitlin)

Gitlin: They brought themselves -- they were not brought, they brought themselves to that point...To the point at which they were ready to be mass murders. This is mass murder we're talking about. They came to this conclusion, which is the conclusion that was come to by all the great killer killers, whether Hitler or Stalin or Mao, that they have a grand project for the transformation and purification of the world. And in the face of that project, ordinary life is dispensable.

Ayers: That's Todd Gitlin. He was not in the Weather Underground. He was the leader of the Students for Democratic Society, he's a professor at Columbia. And that quote to me is nuts. So, you want to talk about who is in the grand tradition of destroying thousands of millions of people? It's the American war in Vietnam where John McCain was in fact dropping bombs . . .  

Kelly: And when the Weather Underground went into a townhouse and put together a bomb with nails in it and allegedly, I mean, allegedly killed a police officer and bombed the home of John Murtaugh, a federal judge with a 9-year-old boy in his bed --

Ayers: No, we didn't kill a police officer --

Kelly: You deny it but there is evidence on the contrary.

The interview continued in that manner, Kelly asking the tough questions, Ayers trying to squirm out of the truth and Kelly forcing him into a corner with his own words and writings.
