That said, if she read the transcript and then accepted the Axelrod/Obama interpretation that Obama was indeed calling the Benghazi attack an "act of terror", she's an idiot.
Here’s the problem....The transcript was inches away.
I don't believe this for a New York second. She 'got' it because she gave them the question in advance and she colluded with them to defeat Romeny, period. Nothing less than blind obedience was expected from her.
My understanding is that Candy interviewed Axelrod on CNN a couple of days previously and he tried out this line on her at that time. She probably got the transcript then to see what was said. So it is possible that it is not a coincidence.
It is very nice of you to give them the benefit of the doubt but of ALL the Libya statements made by ALL the people in the administration she just happened to have the one in question (in her hand)?
Ah....makes more sense. So this was a setup, whether it was Axelrod laying the groundwork to a moderator/supporter who desperately wanted to believe in the “won” or out-right collusion. The fact that obama said, “Get the transcript,” proves it. Whether he knew Can-D would have the transcript or would jump in to defend him, he knew the transcript used that phrase, “act of terror”, even though its meaning had nothing to do with what he was trying to imply.
Axelrod/obama - SLEAZY.
bingo. I didn't know that but what you are saying makes sense. These people are smart in an evil sneaky sort of way. It was a setup but no direct collusion was necessary. They 'laundered" the setup via dry run a few days earlier. Candy checked it out herself. She didn't defend obama on command. She did it based on ego because she had checked out axlerod's assertion herself and was probably surprised that obama did in fact say "act of terror".
Note that Obama didn't call them terrorists. He believed a mob was ticked off about a movie and committed an act of terror. Obama's words change nothing. mitt fell for a liberal wordsmithing distraction. The debate has never been whether the act was an "act of terror". It was whether it was planned and whether it was carried out by a terrorist organization. Distraction game.
Even if she had it, how did Obama know she had it?
OBAMA: Get the transcript.
CROWLEY: It — it — it — he did in fact, sir. So let me — let me call it an act of terror…
OBAMA: Can you say that a little louder, Candy?
Yep!
And in that interview -
Crowley On September 30th: Administration Took Weeks To Admit Benghazi Might Be A Terrorist Attack
So why was she trying to defend him against something she had already accused him off?
