Just a few minutes into the debate, after just a few questions, I made a comment in the live thread about Williams editorializing and 'debating' with the respondents.

It was, at the least, inappropriate, but it did reveal the overt left-leaning [as Chris Wallace called it this morning on Fox&Friends] bias of the questioners.

Exactly, shame on the RNC for allowing this to happen. Unless or until the RNC takes a Newt approach this circus will continue.

My sister doesn't get FOX. She had to watch ABC after the Republican debate. She said it was sickening, because all they did was bash Republicans afterwords. They didn't bash Oboma once.
CNN had her believing Sara Palin really said she could see Russia from her house. After we corrected her, and explained the bias in the liberal media, she's hasn't trusted any of the other news sources since.
She looked things up that we told her, and she found out we were right every time. Now, she asks us what the truth is about an issue, because her news sources aren't going to tell her.
We opened her eyes to bias, so now she sees it everywhere in the MSM.
She's really got to work on getting FOX.

Well said! The RNC leadership should be thrown out for that disgraceful event. This was OUR event, not the property of the MSM. A primary debate is supposed to do two things for us - first, it helps us — the republican voters — decide who we want as our candidate. Second, it is an introduction to the rest of the nation of our candidates and our ideals. This was an ambush that should never have happened.

I think Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck should moderate the next democrat debate to be aired only on Fox News!

Actually, I think the Republicans did great. This sets a president for democrats to come before our hardest hitters. If they refuse, it shows their cowardice and weakness.
I wouldn't have accepted it in the first place, but they did so well, it was a win. Now, it's Nobomas turn to go before our tough guys. Can he handle it?

ABO 2012 - ANYBODY but oboma!!!

Yeah I watched it.

Bill O'Reilly had Bernie Goldberg on last night

Was NBC's GOP Debate Fair?

The “right wing” media isn’t far behind. They’re moderate at best.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Absolutely! I couldn't agree more!

Over the past year I can count the amount of **minutes** ( not hours) I spent listening to talk radio or watching Fox . I am sick of these so-called “conservatives” yappers. Even their voices make my stomach churn.

I simply can NOT tolerate hearing the euphemisms, “liberal, leftist, socialist, or progressive”. They are communists! All these guys and gals are riding the same train. Destination: One World Communism. How often have you heard these leading so-called “conservative” yappers flat out and plainly call the Democrat leadership what they are: Communists!!!? A handful of times? Never?

I am tired of the so-called conservative pundits ignoring important social issues. Gays really do have a hateful mission to shove Christians into the catacombs. Government schools are Marxist indoctrination camps and their siblings, the universities, are the same. Abortion is an abomination. What do we get? Mostly silence from these so-called conservative weenies.

And....I am totally ticked that these so-called “conservatives”, ( some of whom even cry over the Constitution) IGNORED Obama’s eligibility, multiple social security numbers, and FORGERIES!!! Unbelievable!

I am tired of these so-called “conservative” yappers of being, oh so, careful about not using inflammatory words. Can't be rash, you see. (/s) Instead they swaddle the truth in blanket after blanket of euphemisms or hide the truth from view completely.

They are entertainers. If and when true tyranny comes to our nation, these so-called conservative yappers will sell their talents to the fascist oligarchy. They will lick the jack boots crushing our necks.

*Texas ranks last among those who have completed high school. *

In the words of Dean Martin, “He can say that.”

That just shows how a state that does not follow the ruinous ways of the Federal Leftist agenda can achieve a spectacular economy while the rest of the country is in a recession/depression due to the Dems socialist/communist economic fumbling.

Think what Texas could do with a little more education! (In schools without anti-Capitalist professors, of course).

But the press -- the press is our implacable enemy.

.... to the point of genocide. Should death camps arise in the United States, for people on the political right, you will not see a word of it in the 'mainstream' media, even if they are presented eyewitnesses, videos, documents, and images.

Wait, no, you would hear about it. They'd be singing the praises of Federal Recovery Camps, and how people on the right are getting untold (and undeserved) Federal help at these camps.

As you were eased into the 'shower', the press would decry the 'racist nature' of the 'extra help' that 'you on the political right' are getting. You'd be killed, while being chewed out for being killed.

One of the many reasons I’m no longer a Republican. By allowing clowns from PMSNBC to “moderate” the debate, the GOP legitimizes these scum who are every bit as partisan as Rush, yet lie about it by feigning a mask of objectivity. It also allows them to shape the overall tone and direction of the national debate, which is always firmly on the left side of the field. I’m done with that, and won’t even watch those kangaroo proceedings known as “debates.”

I was surprised that Brian Williams and the Politico guy were as balanced as they were. I expected:

  1. Tea Party members are as racist as the KKK. Can you elaborate on why that is?
  2. It's obvious that the only objection to Obama is the fact that he's colored. Can you explain this phenomenon?
  3. Can you tell us why you substitute the words "Respecting the Constitution" for "Crushing Minorities and Women", when it is is obvious you mean the latter?
  4. Capitalism is another method used to oppress minorities. Would you like to expound on why Communism is vastly superior to Capitalism in every way?
  5. U mad bro? Y u mad?
  6. Obama single-handedly saved our economy. Would you like to expound on how you would even get CLOSE to his greatness?
  7. Why are you such haters, in the Republican Party? Haven't you ever sought therapeutic treatment for your deranged hate?
  8. The Teamsters have recently said that they intend to line up in squads and start killing Tea Party members. Why do you, in the Republican and Tea Party, motivate (and thusly cause) this violence? Have you no shame at all?

Brian Williams always looks like he has a red hot poker up his nether regions.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out he gets his underclothes at Victoria's Secret.

I was going to watch the debate, but as soon as Williams started to bash the candidates right at the beginning, I changed the channel. The GOP should have never agreed to let MSNBC do the debate.

I haven't seen him in years. Does he still have raccoon eyes from the tanning bed?

These last few years have really made me think about the Third Reich. I never understood how the German people could have stood by while Hitler's power grew or the holocaust was carried out, or the war ebbed and flowed. I didn't understand the government bureaucrats who rubber-stamped atrocities.

I still don't "understand" such things, but I see us well on the path to such darkness. And our media is thrilled and supportive, and masses of people think, "I like this handbasket, but can't it go faster?"

The unchanging, sinful nature of humanity is laid out on the table and it is not good to look at.

Why are we blaming the liberal media for doing what the liberal media does best? If anyone is at fault, it’s the candidates themselves and the GOP leadership for agreeing to a debate that’s moderated by liberal media tards. Regardless of political affiliation, people need to take responsibility for their own stupidity.

Obviously you've never listened to Mark Levin, who calls them Marxists and Stalinists on a regular basis.
