Video(several): Who’s up for a focus-group shoutfest about Candy Crowley’s debate moderation?

Video fun to help wind down the day after. It starts slow but perks up about halfway through. True story: An apolitical friend surprised me today by launching into a two-pronged tirade about the debate. Prong one was him insisting that when O got snotty with Romney about his Benghazi accusations, he came off like a — well, let’s say jerk, although “jerk” wasn’t the word he used. Prong two was him asking me, as a political junkie, to explain how Candy Crowley could have interjected on O’s behalf during the Libya exchange when the moderator’s supposed to be passive and impartial. I didn’t know what to tell him, except to reassure him that Candy herself used to think the White House’s spin about “acts of terror” was lame, and that Obama had all but admitted to an audience member afterward that, yeah, the Rose Garden statement didn’t mean a whole lot. But hey — she wanted a bigger role in the debate and the left wanted more “fact-checking” of Romney since the only reason he won that first debate was because he’s a lying liar who lies, you know, so she chimed in at an opportune moment on their candidate’s behalf. CNN sounds pretty happy about it, which is what’s really important.

Anyway, those are the results of my new poll of undecided voters about the debate. Sample size: One. Exit quotation: “Crowley did her profession a disservice last night and confirmed many American’s deepest suspicions about the media in the process.”

Great Action

So, we are to believe that amoung hundreds of speeches, policies, political ads, and actions of the two candidates, that Crowley was able to find and fact check the transcript of that exact particular speech within zero seconds?

It certainly appears that there was collaboration; and that the debate moderation was compromised.

Not only does this matter deserve a thorough, and immediate investigation; but there is another issue...

If this debate was compromised, what about upcoming Debate 3?

Perhaps the GOPers should demand that for the third debate, questions come only from candidates to one-another, thereby removing the deceitful and activist "news" media from the debate moderation process.

How convenient that Crowley just happened to have the answer that 0bama needed!<<<<<

That should be the story.....when Obama said.. “get the script” Candy already had it in her hand...

The question should be to Candy.....

HOW DID THE PRESIDENT KNOW AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?

Yep. But, now they have trapped themselves and Romney will use everything on this issue next Monday night.

Unintended consequences, too bad for them, gulp.

I was working last night. I was in ICU drawing a patient and I heard the first question and Romney answered it good, then Obama started speaking and I thought right there the fix is in. He was to rehearsed and to fast on the answer. I do think that the collusion was there.. Maybe in 2016 we will say “Hell No” to the John Candy Crowley’s and the Wolf Blitzers and the Jim Leher. No more liberal moderators. Get it repubtards when you stack the panel with people who hate you this is the outcome.

That is some heavy stuff....but I expect it will get blown away as too conspiratorial...

But it could liven up things.

With this President it could also be true.

Maybe it was a trap set for Romney but I think 0bama is the one who stepped in it.

There is a CNN video of Axelrod trying to convince Crowley that O’Bummer said “terrorist” the next day after the event. The video date is September 30th.

but there’s no way you can explain this other than a huge setup."""".......

Which is obviously was. It started with the gentleman's questions, the questions chosen by Crowley herself.

O did not answer the man's question, but knew he could draw Romney into their net, Romney took the bait, and they were ready for him, to obviously ready.

Problem for them, THEY LIED (GULP)for all the world to hear, now Romney has the upper hand for Monday's debate. Unintended consequences can be a bear.

Think O is waking up in the night in panic sweats, and saying OH s..t!, what have I done now?

Good enough Ernest. But something very very wrong happened, and the stink in the Denmark’s sea side towns is so bad, really intense stink, that it is driving the good people into the local mountains for relieve.

Axelrod planted the false thought in Crowley’s head September 30th, 2012.

“White House officials are now insisting that President Barack Obama has always treated the Sept. 11 strike in Benghazi, Libya as a terrorist attack by jihadis.

“Well, first of all, Candy, as you know, the president called it an act of terror the day after it happened,” President Barack Obama’s chief campaign strategist David Axelrod told CNN’s Candy Crowley Sept. 30.

The new pitch is the administration’s third effort to spin the shocking Sept. 11 attack, threatening to discredit President Barack Obama’s campaign-trail claim to foreign policy competence.:

OB cannot be dealt with on the facts, he doesn’t live in the real world. And his followers, these people and a lot of the power people that the Republican Stupid A$$ Committee allowed to run ALL of the debates, Candy Crowley (and Bob Scheiffer sp?) do NOT see yet, if they ever will, that the Emperor has no clothes.

This is NOT politics. It’s a lot more like a Shakespearean political drama.

Romney and his people better catch on to that quick or next week he’ll get behind.

I guess that makes the guy his apoplectic apolitical friend.
