The Candy Crowley Tipping Point (Jeffrey Lord)
The American Spectator ^ | 10/18/2012 | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 10/18/2012 8:43:51 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

She got it wrong.

She interfered.

She took a side.

Candy Crowley may finally have done something else as well: so visibly tipping the scales of media bias that the end result makes Mitt Romney the next president.

Taken all together, CNN's Candy Crowley, in her zeal to intrude on the presidential debate and save President Obama from himself, may just have provided the televised moment that finally sparks a revolt against the four years of fawning coverage of President Obama.

Becoming to the liberal media what the Tet Offensive was to Lyndon Johnson and the Vietnam War.

For four years the mainstream media has done everything in its power to portray Barack Obama as the Second Coming, the messiah, or, in the immortal words of one-time Newsweek honcho Evan Thomas, "God." Chris Matthews described thrills down his leg. Katie Couric purred in a sycophantic Obama interview with hard hitting questions like this:

You're so confident Mr. President, and so focused. Is your confidence ever shaken? Do you ever wake up and say "damn, this is hard"

When I first saw the title, the term ‘cow tipping’ sprang to mind.

I totally misread the headline as:

COW TIPPING

How appropriate!

It wasn’t controlled. It was a set up, right down to every last “undecided” voter who made an attempt to whack Romney.

Know what? I blame the STUPID PARTY for - again - putting the corrupt liberal media in the drivers seat of these debates.

Her “tipping point” is quite a “weighty” issue. A REAL ponderous subject.

"Oh, the Huge Manatee!"

Obama hid behind Candy's more than ample skirt ... And she encouraged it.

So much for that 'feminism claptrap... Candy WAS the little woman behind her man. Well, maybe not so little...

That said, Obama also hid behind Hillary's skirt and Rice's skirt. Maybe that's how dem's 'man up'. They find some ball-buster and hide behind her. But like the proverbial street gang the MSM bravely have 10 members beat up one lone citizen. The MSM knows how to play dirty and get away with it. Yeah, we're impressed CNN. /s

Crowley had Axelrod on her talk show weeks prior to this debate where she argued with him that the president initially didn't call it a terrorist attack but blamed a movie.

Date Sept 30, 2012

In addition, Obama had many of the questions beforehand. Ordinarily he stutters around, er uh and then finally spits something out. But when Crowley gave him a question, he was able to fluently answer without his stutters. Proves to me he was rehearsed.

I agree with you. By “control” I mean that the Obama campaign produced the debate: from the questions, to the interruptions, the Benghazi gotcha, the applause, the cutaway to Mooshell, the camera agngles to exhalt the one, to the transcript. This was massive collusion and possibly criminal.

Added to the fact that Crowley had cornered Jay Carney on 9/30 in the same lie she supported during the debate.

She not only was prepared with the defense of Obama, she knew the defense was a lie.

“Candy!!!!”

the collusion between the Obama Campaign and Crowley was very obvious. It was a dishonest event.

Candy pounced to THE FOREIGNERS defense like she was after the LAST PORK CHOP on the meat tray. Proof positive the Left’s ideology trumps this country every time.

I’ve been stating this for two years but it bears repeating:
This election will be more of a referendum on the media than it will be of Obama or the Republican.

I still believe they have something up their sleeves and it’ll be released a few days before the elections so there can be no legitimate refutation in time. They made the mistake in 2004 that they will not repeat again.

Exactly - I also wondered how she was able to scan that particular speech of his in a second and find “act of terror” in it.

Nope. A friend who is deaf watched it and says he is definitely saying, “A$$hole.”

Remarkable, isn’t it, how Candy happened to have that particular document right at her finger-tips and how Zero knew to ask for it?


I think it goes further than that. The “tough” question as picked by Crowley from Latka was part of the set-up. Listened to him last night on Greta and he’s still uncommitted. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

The upside to all of this is that no one can now claim the media isn’t biased in favor of liberals.

Jeffrey Lord misses the main point of the event. Obama said “Get the transcript,” and Crowley complied. Lord seems to think she just decided on her own to interject her comments. Not true.

This was quite clearly pre-arranged, and Obama gave it away with his “Get the transcript” comment.

So? Deaf friend or not, I don't see "A$$hole" being said here and it's debatable at best, not at all 100% just because you have a lip reading deaf friend. It's my opinion.
