Obama still wrong on Libya; Crowley blows it
Washington Post ^ | October 17, 2012 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 10/17/2012 7:54:23 AM PDT by NCjim

In what surely was one of the weirdest incidents in a presidential debate, CNN’s 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".

Did you all know it was Michelle who broke the rules and clapped for Obama?

As usual, the rules only apply to Republicans.

Crowley is what Halloween is all about.

Correct, she is a fat goblin that loves to eat kid's candy.

Candy “cupcake” Crowley is certainly priviledged. You don’t get a body like that without eating Ring Dings and Ho-Hos for breakfast.

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.

I think we can pretty much say, Candy Crowley has hosted her first and final Presidential debate.

"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. There’s another “legacy” to take your place! (Slick Willy should be jealous!)

Details and video at Newsbusters.

To the tune of ABBA's dancing queen


Candy Queen.


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


Tuesday night and the mod is candy crow.
Modding the debate for Oooo.

MSM say's he's enthusiastic, getting into the swing,
You come in to look for a King.
Obama is that guy.
Night is young and he's all high.
With a bit of mock Romney, everything is fine.

You're in the mood to trounce,

And when you get the chance...


You are the candy queen, MSM treat, only modding queen.
Candy Queen , feel the beat of the lying queen, ohhh yeahhh
You can bounce, you can lie, having the time of your life.
See that crow, watch that scene, digging Candy queen.


You a O'pleaser, you turn him on.
You keep the lies coming and then your'er gone.
Looking for another, any lie will do.

You're in the mood to trounce,

And when you get the chance...


You are the candy queen, MSM treat, only modding queen.
Candy Queen , feel the beat of the lying queen, ohhh yeahhh
You can bounce, you can lie, having the time of your life.
See that crow, watch that scene, digging Candy queen.

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.

20 more stinking days....

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..
