CNN’s Crowley and company eat crow on Benghazi water-carrying for Obama

Mitt Romney was right.

Barack Obama was wrong.

And now, after journo-tool/moderator Candy Crowley jumped to Obama’s aid in front of millions of viewers, CNN is admitting that her fact-check was not kinda, sorta, no completely “cut and dry” factual.

CNN walks back false “act of terror” fact check.

Why does Candy Crowley remind me of Honey Boo Boo’s mother?

I don’t blame the Crow for her actions. I don’t blame any of the “moderators” for their Bagdad Bob performances.

These people are what they are. They are KNOWN quantities.

I BLAME THE ESTABLISHMENT PUBBIES FOR CAVING EVERY TIME THE SELECTION IS MADE FOR A DEBATE MODERATOR!

WTF? Neil Cavuto doesn’t get a shot? Why the Eff not? Its like the pubbies pee their pants every time these “debates” are planned, and the selected moderators are ALWAYS barking moonbat libtards! /r>

Big deal. Millions saw her side with obama and call Romney a liar. Maybe half a million will see the retraction. She had a mission last night and she accomplished it. Thr retraction is next to worthless now.

“On the phone with the National Security Team? There is a Situation Room in the White House!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NO ONE has asked Obama where he was when he was told of the attack. It would have been automatic standard operating procedure for Obama to have been told immediately of the attack. Immediately.

Below is Obama’s schedule for Sep 11, 2012. If this account is real time, he was at Walter Reed. The attack began at 3:30pm EST. Did Obama immediately go back to the WH? or did he finish his visit at Walter Reed?

Notice Obama already had a meeting scheduled with Panetta & Biden.

To my knowledge, NO ONE HAS ASKED Obama about his whereabouts or reported [after Benghazi] on his schedule for that day. I dug up this info myself, and as you can see, it was a routine press report dated Sept 11, 2012.

Did Obama ever go into the Situation Room? The attack lasted 6 hrs. My guess is probably not, but I have no doubt that many others did.

"I caught that, too, but it won’t/can’t be verified for many years,..."

Verified or not, he's told the world that he knew of the ongoing attack and did nothing ...maybe just went back to bed as the attacked raged for over 6 hours.

Now that we have that admission or declaration from him directly, how can he square it with his remarks to the U.N about the YouTube video? Worse than that is the fact that U.N. Ambassador began her video hoax two days later and he either perpetrated the hoax or ignored it and let it run, even though he now says he knew what was going on in real time.

I'm pissed that no one is picking up on this ...or even worse, that they are all just letting it go.

“It was also mentioned, either here or at the Treehouse, that a communications officer was on the phone from a consulate building, with the embassy AND Washington, during the attack!”

See post 44. I didn’t see you post before I posted, but I meant to add this also.

They had constant communication real time with Benghazi (and photos and video). Immediately, Obama knew that there was no protest in Benghazi, and immediately Obama knew that this was a premeditated, well-planned surgical terrorist strike on the consulate.

Immediately, they ALL knew. Did you listen to Col David Hunt’s interview? I will post it & ping you after it is transcribed. He said once he heard Lamb’s testimony about being in real time communication with Sean (one who was killed), he knew that at least 12 command centers around the world were also listening real time. He said it would have automatic standard operating procedure, and that anyone was has ever been on watch in any of these command centers knows it is SOP.

He emphasized that this is not his opinion, it is SOP, ALWAYS. He said no one needs to make a decision about IF to report or inform, it is automatic.

That is how deep the cover-up goes.

Excellent analogy.

Amazingly Crowley said she knew the question would come up so she reviewed the facts before hand and even brought the Rose Garden statement transcript - AND STILL GOT THE FACTS WRONG!

Yeah she was too clever by  half!!!

I have to listen to that again. I took it to mean after Benghazi attack, but I might be wrong.

Either way, Benghazi consulate was attacked June 6th (I think), the day after we killed al-Libi in drone strike. That alone should have been the wake-up call that al Zawahiri (sp?) meant serious revenge.

Obama most certainly would have been notified immediately about that one also. Three months passed, during which IIRC they reduced security.

The rules were followed in the debate.

Liberals have one rule, and one rule only: Win.

Seriously, have any of you ever seen a liberal “eat crow”, or even come close to admit being wrong?
That’s one thing about the left. They are so wrong, yet so convinced they’re right that they can’t ever admit it. This is why we get “socialism has never worked because we weren’t in charge”, and Keynesianism.

The closest I ever saw was when Serpenthead put the trashcan on his head.

...she — the moderator — got involved in the debate itself, commenting on the words of one candidate to his detriment and to the benefit of the other.

This one act by Crowley was unprecedented in a presidential debate, and egregiously crossed the line of the debate moderator's role. It needs to be widely and loudly condemned by every Republican with a microphone.

It was literally an act of war, and the political right had damn well better read and react to it as such.

EXACTLY. Even some well-informed Republicans missed this whole thing. The pundits can talk it to death, but most folks have gone back to their lives, thinking they saw the debate.

This is the filthiest Dem trick I have ever seen, and I’ve seen many.

Yes, I heard Col Hunt’s radio interview. Agree completely. Ive never been inside the White House, but have done duty in Sit Rooms at Pentagon, DIA, NGIC, elsewhere. Also at couple embassies in ‘that part’ of world. Gratefully retired now.

Ahhhh! Thanks for posting that. You are the first to “officially” confirm Hunt’s interview.

… she knew the question would come up so she reviewed the facts before hand and even brought the Rose Garden statement transcript …

How many hard copies of that statement would you think exist? How would zero know that, on an otherwise empty desk, there was a copy, and that Candy Cowly had studied it? Or know well enough to call out a specific cite and expect verification?

Her depth of knowledge on the subject was as if she had received an agenda specific highlighted version. And she performed a shallow, cursory review of the highlights, without understanding their context. Just what one would expect from a - what’s the technical term? – tool.
