Obama still wrong on Libya; Crowley blows it

In what surely was one of the weirdest incidents in a presidential debate, CNNs Candy Crowley egregiously sided with President Obama on his false remarks on Libya, was repeatedly and decisively fact-checked post-debate as wrong (somewhere between mostly wrong and pants on fire in my book) and then backed away from her own incorrect assertion. As was the case in the vice presidential debate, the biggest story may be the after-the-debate tumult over White House misrepresentations on Libya.

...and she claims to be a vegitarian?
(btw, the reason ak47 was cited was because crowly’s family has hunters. IOW she is a second amendment is for hunting to feed the collective tribe mentality)

she was selected to be the most incompetent not competent. A competent journalist would have let obama fall flat on his face.

I am truly suprised there was no headline this morning that read,
"Candy Crowley forced to eat Crow instead Candy".

Crowley is what Halloween is all about.Correct, she is a fat goblin that loves to eat kid's candy.
To: eyeamok
Candy “cupcake” Crowley is certainly priviledged. You don’t get a body like that without eating Ring Dings and Ho-Hos for breakfast.
To: longtermmemmory
“...and she claims to be a vegetarian?”
So were my cattle.

Notice how Obama tells Crowley to get the Crowley had that transcript ready. They knew the question was coming.
So okay, Obama If you thought it was an ACT OF TERRORISM - WHY DID YOU GO TO LAS VEGAS THE NEXT DAY FOR A FUND RAISER.
To: NCjim
I think we can pretty much say, Candy Crowley has hosted her first and final Presidential debate.
To: NCjim
"Crowley blows it"Talk about an accurate headline!
Traitorobama should have lit up a cigar after the debate.
Last night, CNN media whore Candy Crowley got down on her knees and serviced Barry right there in front of the studio audience and television viewers.
Move over, Monica. Theres another legacy to take your place! (Slick Willy should be jealous!)

You can bounce, you can lie, having the time of your life.
See that crow, watch that scene, digging Candy queen.

Looking for another, any lie will do.

Crowley jumped on the live grenade to save Obama True. And I hope everyone sees just how low on the stupid-liberal/fake-journalist tree the left had to go to find someone that would sacrifice themselves at the alter of obama. What? Charlie Gibson wouldn't take the job?

I’ve been saying this for years...I think it especially needed now because “bloggers” don’t have the same legal protection as “journalists”. Lawyers must have a license to practice, they must uphold a level of integrity.
If a journalist is going to have special privileges then yes, they should have a license for it that can be revoked if they clearly violate journalistic ethics. Then we can have actual “news organizations” made up of licensed journalists that are clearly separate from bloggers and non-journalists.

Yes, that jumped out at me when it happened. I found all the cheating very sickening, but as I expected it to be.

Interesting. I was thinking Obama might have had an out, but in context you can't even say he was implying a reference to Libya. Total, bald faced lie.

Romney was set up ( unknowingly by the MSM, because they thought it was a opportunity to get Romney... unintended consequences.. ) by the MSM and Obama for the next debate to really hammer this away on foreign policy.
What I mean by set up by the MSM and Obama ?
Well, their plan was to cheat, lie, steal this away from Romney but, their plan fell apart in front of 80 million viewers.
But their plan didn't work, and it nicely sets Romney up for the next debate with Obama having no defense.
Buzzard Crowley even came out AFTER the debate that she was wrong and that Romney was right.
BINGO !
Obama has NO defense in the next debate... he can't come out and say:
" I didn't say this, or say that "
because all Romney has to say is ?
" Well Mr. Obama, Candy Crowley even came out after the debate and said that my assertion was right after all " .
Did everyone see Obama's face and demeanor after that question was asked ?
He looked like he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar with no way out.
He did not look happy at all.
He looked like the crook who got caught and no place to run or no place to hide.
Just wait until the next debate on foreign policy.
Watch his face and demeanor.
What's that old song from the Eagles ? Lying eyes ?
You can't hide your lying eyes..
