Candy Crowley Plays Biggest Loser with Obama
American Thinker ^ | October 17, 2012 | Selwyn Duke

You might think that with all the recent focus on media bias in debate moderation, Candy Crowley would have minded her p's and q's in last night's presidential debate. But clearly, she doesn't even know the ABC's of her job.

Her most obvious transgression was chiming in and contradicting Mitt Romney's assertion that Barack Obama did not label the Benghazi attack an act of terror when he spoke in the Rose Garden on Sept. 12. Crowley's unwarranted meddling was significant. The apparent lies surrounding the Libya tragedy are a huge scandal for Obama, and, with the mainstream media's failure to aggressively cover the story, the debate was a golden opportunity to get the truth out.

Enter Crowley's Passion. She snuck into the ring, without Obama even tagging her, and hit Romney from behind with a chair while the ref, Crowley's Brain, was looking the other way. And, as was established later, she was wrong. It was, as Thomas Sowell wrote recently, a display of what Obama himself is guilty of: confident ignorance.

Candy Crowley has totally discredited herself from ever moderating a political debate again.

Most of the MSM has always shown itself to be an unelected extension of the dhimmicraps.

She doesn’t care. She will always be the first woman to moderate a presidential debate, a stain on womanhood the world over forever. She threw herself on her sword for Obama’s reelection because the stakes were so high. Martyr to the Devil for eternity.

Joel Pollack on Brietbart ripped the moderator for choosing questions that were clearly one sided against Romney.

But kudos to the moderator for bringing up China's low wages. Neither candidate adequately addressed that.

Obama simply said he wanted high wage jobs not low wage jobs. A stupid position when 25% of the people are out of work. We need any kind of jobs. You can re-outsource the low wage jobs when we all have high paying jobs.

It was good to hear Romney finally mention tariffs in regard to China. However, he still has the wrong perspective. He wants to apply them only when China cheats such as currency manipulation. But China doesn't have to cheat because their people make so little.

It's a bad idea to trade a lot with China as long as we have unemployment, rules or not because of the wage differential.

re: She threw herself on her sword for Obama’s reelection because the stakes were so high.

She didn't throw herself on the sword at all. Sure, she is being criticized by conservatives and Republicans, but she doesn't give a dam% what we think. She is being praised by her fellow leftists. She is a hero to them. What she did is a resume and career enhancement for which she will be greatly rewarded. Never-mind the truth or integrity of the debate process.

Hmmm...”Biggest Loser” in the headline...gotta be a riff on Crowley’s weight...wonder why Moochelle didn’t make them replace Crowley with somebody more aligned with the FLOTUS push for all things healthy?

Candy throwing herself on her sword reminds me of the incident in Judges 3.

“20.Ehud then approached him while he was sitting alone in the upper room of his palace and said, “I have a message from God for you.” As the king rose from his seat, 21 Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword from his right thigh and plunged it into the king’s belly. 22 Even the handle sank in after the blade, and his bowels discharged. Ehud did not pull the sword out, and the fat closed in over it”

Since Candy inserted herself into the debate, Romney should have asked her to explain why she characterized Paul Ryan’s addition to the ticket as, “some sort of ticket death wish”.

How many minutes did Candy have personally in the debate uplifting Obama? She gave Obama more minutes than Romney.

Haven’t heard anything from those freepers who used to insist “Candy’s fairer than most reporters.”
