Candy Crowley Defends Her Libya Comment During Presidential Debate (on The View)
ABC News ^ | October 17, 2012 | RUSSELL GOLDMAN

Debate moderator Candy Crowley defended her decision to interject in a heated moment about Libya during last night's presidential debate, saying she was not trying to "fact check," but just trying to move the debate along.

"It didn't come to me as I'm going to fact check that. It came to me as let's get passed this? To me I was really trying to move the conversation along? This is a semantic thing," Crowley told the hosts of "The View."

I don't think it worked. Schieffer will have to talk about Benghazi next week. The debate is on Foreign Policy. I don't see how he can avoid it and people will be watching to see if he, too, throws the issue to the advantage of Obama. I don't see how it could benefit Obama anymore. The TRUTH hurts!

You beat me to it but same point I agree with you completely.

TOTAL SETUP

She also got cues fro Obama to stop the line of discussion on Fast and Furious and Obama’s pension among others, always when Romney was in the middle of making an obviously solid point.

Of course, any person seriously intending honesty finds that countless resolutions are not up to the task. A higher presence in one’s life is the best help.

Liberal logic = ‘If the word “terrorism” passed OUR President’s lips at any time in any context after the Benghazi attacks that is the same as saying the attack was a terrorist attack and it is a lie to say that they were trying to claim it was an unplanned response/demonstration against an obscure video.’

That's too nuanced for my feeble brain to comprehend.

Obama pussyfooted Benghazi. It was too much like his usual M.O. writ even larger than before, for any honest observer to believe this was done for any other reason than irrational denial that these wonderful Muslim Springers could ever be Terrorists too.

It's a shame that as women's involvement in national politics grow, they trivialize and lower the level of discord like this.

Candy also announced that she was starting a new job next year. A White House Intern position.

Yep, Crowley definitely played Costello to Obama’s Abbot. In fact, the foursome actually looks something alike (only Lou was much better looking than Crowley).

It has come about that way because of the general lowering and coarsening of society. These aren’t our grandmothers’ suffragette church committee ladies. These are, in greater and greater proportion, loose disordered hateful sluts.

I didn’t get to see “The View” today. Did they replay this; where Obama refuses Clinton’s take?: http://freebeacon.com/sept-25-obama-refused-to-describe-benghazi-attack-as-terrorism/
