Delaware debate moderator tells Coons, 'Go for it' Mark J. Fitzgibbons
Nancy Karibjanian, member of the Delaware media and a University of Delaware supplemental faculty member, was co-moderator of the O'Donnell-Coons debate on CNN.
Not long into the debate, Karibjanian zeroed in on O'Donnell's financial and education controversies.
KARIBJANIAN: Let's open the discussion on correcting some of the financial issues here by talking about some of your own personal financial problems. And most people know about it by now, including an IRS lien that was for about $12,000 in taxes and penalties from '05. There was the '08 mortgage default judgment on your home. You just received your bachelors degree, as you said, because it took a decade to pay off the tuition.

Dang. O’Donnell kicked five kinds of ass with that reply.
Then the moderator lobs a softball to Coons. Typical.
Do you think Coons would appear on FOX News with Sean Hannity as the moderator? I think not.
Why our side continues to appear on the enemy’s turf is beyond me.
These people need to be called out for who they are — liberal activists masquerading as journalists.
Starve the beast!
“Why our side continues to appear on the enemy’s turf is beyond me.”
I think she had to. Coons was too big of a coward for a fair debate, but has a substantial lead.
Her shot was this debate, the MSM the DE voter watches would not otherwise give her a forum to share her views on limited government and lower taxes.
Undecided voters will see this for what it is: a dog and pony show on the part of the Socialist/Communists. O’Donnell handle herself well under such a hostile and one-sided debate on the part of the mod. and Coons.
Nancy Karibjanian is a ruling class troll.
"Liberal activist Katie Couric"...I like the sound of that...
Some have said her delivery was ho-hum (admittedly I did NOT watch the debate), but the answer, at least in print, that she gave to that was perfect.
You have to go where the publicity is. Otherwise you may not receive much exposure at all.
If we have to fight on the enemies turf, so be it. Voters who are seriously looking at the candidates will recognize the farce.

Communist Goals (1963)
Documention below
Congressional Record—Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963
Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen:
[From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [”]united force[”] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

I just read it. You are right. I am, frankly, surprised they did not try to interrupt and sidetrack her.
Let’s look into Chris Coons’s financial background. I bet the media hasn’t laid a glove on that. Why no question asking Coons why he calls himself a Marxist? Oh that’s right—the lib. moderators would think that’s a plus in his column.
Something has to be done. Journalism has been in a death spiral for decades. The major media are nothing but the propaganda wing of the DemonRat Party. Perhaps each candidate gets to choose two moderators. But I would not limit it to just journalists or academics. Let’s have some fireworks. What about Rush and Hannity? Wouldn’t that be fun?
That b!tch attacked Christine with a vitriol I’ve never seen before in a “debate.” It reeked more of an interrogation. At one point, late in the evening, all three were simultaneously attacking her... a nasty spectacle. Christine held fast though... she had incredible poise.
“...ruling class troll....”
Troll, yes.
Ruling: she doesn’t rule either jack or sh*t.
Liberal meat puppet, moset definitely yes.
Prayers up for Christine.
Took a lot of guts to go into that coliseaum with that leftist trash.
IMHO, she's an elitist, slanted, catty, arrogant turd.
“Do you think Coons would appear on FOX News with Sean Hannity as the moderator? I think not. Why our side continues to appear on the enemy’s turf is beyond me.”
I agree. This crap has got to stop. Chris Matthews of all people has been a moderator in the past. Geez! If the Dims can’t man up and go on Fox I would be damned before I went on any of the five lib networks. Fair is fair!
Read the goals on post #10.
I did not see the entire debate. Would you say that O’Donnell won?
