Telling video frame: Crowley shuts down "Fast & Furious" -- on command
dfmpolitics.com (Second Debate: Video and transcript) ^ | 17 OCT 2012 | Crowley & Obama vs Romney

Posted on 10/17/2012 3:23:58 PM PDT by TXnMA

ROMNEY: The — the greatest failure we’ve had with regards to — to gun violence in some respects is what — what is known as Fast and Furious. Which was a program under this administration, and how it worked exactly I think we don’t know precisely, where thousands of automatic, and AK-47 type weapons were — were given to people that ultimately gave them to — to drug lords.

They used those weapons against — against their own citizens and killed Americans with them. And this was a — this was a program of the government. For what purpose it was put in place, I can’t imagine. But it’s one of the great tragedies related to violence in our society which has occurred during this administration. Which I think the American people would like to understand fully, it’s been investigated to a degree, but — but the administration has carried out executive privilege to prevent all of the information from coming out.

I’d like to understand who it was that did this, what the idea was behind it, why it led to the violence, thousands of guns going to Mexican drug lords. OBAMA: Candy?

CROWLEY: Governor, Governor, if I could, the question was about these assault weapons that once were once banned and are no longer banned.


Romney stops speaking and turns away in disgust, and Øbozo grins like a possum -- because his obedient, overfed, trained attack spaniel has leaped to his rescue -- at his command.


Bias? What bias...?

Why do Republicans participate in these rigged “debates?”

Why do Republicans participate in these rigged “debates?”

Because the debates allow expression of good ideas to a wide audience, albeit under hostile circumstances. A better question might be, "Why don't liberal Democrats participate in a debate with Rush Limbaugh as the moderator?"

Republicans have met liberal Democrats on their own rigged turf and still wipe the floor with them when it comes to ideas that are best for a people who love freedom, smaller government, truth, and general moral rectitude.

“Don’t let her read her poetry!”

“Vogon poetry is, of course, the third worst in the universe. The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kria. During a recitation by their poet-master, Grunthos the Flatulent, of his poem ‘Ode to a Small Lump Of Green Putty I Found In My Armpit One Midsummer Morning’, four of his audience died of internal haemorrhaging, and the president of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off. Grunthos was reported to have been “disappointed” by the poem’s reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his twelve - book epic entitled ‘My Favourite Bath-time Gurgles’, when his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up through his neck, and throttled his brain. The very worst poetry of all perished along with its creator, Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Greenbridge, in the destruction of the planet Earth.”

If she tries, perhaps her “own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, (might) leap(t) straight up through his (her) neck, and throttled his (her) brain.

Given their relative differences in size and strength due to frequency of use, I believe that her own major intestine might just be up to the task.

HOORAY Mitt for bringing up F&F! The liars on Libya and Fast & Furious. Direct attacks on the first 2 amendments. Tactics of totalitarians and their propagandists.

On C-Span, a running total for speaking time was displayed at the bottom of the screen, and, in the end, Obama received about 3-4 minutes more of speaking time than Romney.

I almost fell out of my chair. The way I took it was:

Candy?!? (You know that you've been warned not to let him go there!)

Look at the video. There are flat-panel displays in the aisles -- displaying elapsed times.

IMHO, those numbers should be displayed continually at the top of the TV screen (plus running totals per candidate) so everyone can see how the time is really being allocated.


First, I agree! Let the audience know the truth, so that the Dems can't use this as an excuse to cut into Romney's answer time (which is one of the reasons Obama does it).

In all three of this cycle's debates, the Dem participants have continually begged the moderator to ensure they get their time. At the end of each debate, we have seen that the Dems had MORE time than the Reps. I think they mention their time tracking as a sort of "pre-emptive strike" and a subtle, subliminal message to the audience to suggest that they are getting shorted on time.

At the next debate, as soon as Obama mentions his "time concerns," Romney should tell Obama that he has had four years and an extra four minutes through the last two debates and he still has NOT explained his plan for the future other than doing the same thing as the last four years! SLAM him with that crap!

The video should be reviewed in great detail looking for this:

did zero have the questions in advance ?

I only saw a few barfy minutes of it, but IMHO, bozo came across as though he had thought about his answers to the questions beforehand.

It would not take much for Ol’ Crowly to zip off a copy to someone who sent them to someone, etc., as soon as she decided on them.

I don’t know when (for a fact, not a guess) when Crow received the questions to select from.

Maybe I’ll look for this for a few minutes.

This illustrated the role of the State Owned Media that has covered up Zer0’s failed presidency with a candy coating.

I noticed that everytime Romney started to sound good or really point out something bad about BO, BO would start stammering and interrupting and calling for Candy. She would the oblige and shut Mitt down.

So, in essence...(preaching to the choir, I know)....O’bama laughs because Mexicans died? Who’s got access to a Spanish speaking forum of some sort?

Maybe Univision will come through for the truth again. They are extremely left wing, but they were angry about the murder of so many innocent Mexican citizens. Let's hope this sets the lousy POS back among Hispanic voters by a LOT!

So, let me get this right.

The “leader” of the free world needs a girl to fend off the big bad Romney?

In a Debate?

Very weak, very weak indeed!
