Who says liberals and leftists can't get airtime on FOX News? The Huffington Post has video of an important Election Alert from Ruper Murdoch's the "fair and balanced" news network that features William Ayers—the man whom Senator John McCain referred to in the third debate as "an old washed-up terrorist"—voting in Chicago.
Here's Megyn Kelly's artful segue into the segment:
'Well, I'll tell ya what: From Bill Clinton to a very different kind of Barack Obama supporter, and that is William Ayers, who showed up and got caught on camera going into the voting station today.
Ms. Kelly closed the segment by once again drawing a line "from Bill Clinton to Bill Ayers." (At least in her intro she acknowledged Mr. Ayers and former President Clinton are "very different.") She also took pains to point out that Mr. Ayers voted at the same place Senator Barack Obama "because they live in the same neighborhood," which MSNBC, Time's The Page and ABC News' Jake Tapper also noted this morning. Per Mr. Tapper:
Among the other voters who have shown up to vote at Shoesmith Elementary School this morning, where Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., will vote: Louis Farrakhan and William Ayers.
Seriously.
Welcome to the South Side of Chicago.
