Sorry Meat---- it was Schnitts idea.

[FredZarguna]

Nope.

Not buying.

I like James Taranto, but in order to buy this theory you have to disregard the entire context of the rest of the debate. Candy cut Romney off on Fast and Furious, and that answer was pertinent to the question. She selected questions which generally were hostile to Romney, and the one questioner potentially detrimental to 0bama was actually asking a question that was a perfect setup for the pResident to say what he wanted to do in a second term. Though that questioner appeared hostile (and probably was) the inquiry itself was a "soft" question. That 0bama did not hit it out of the park is a testament to the fact that he has no plan for the next four years except more anti-Constitutional executive orders, more debt, more welfare, more food stamps, more disability, more economic cronyism and of course more golf and more vacations for Mooch and her daughters.

It also ignores the fact that she repeatedly cut Romney off, and granted 0bama more time; now covered with a pathetically lame excuse that 0bama "talks more slowly."

I am truly amazed at the circling of the wagons around the collaborationist press here, even by columnists and hard news people who are supposed to be objective or conservative. In its totality, her debate performance was a clear, shocking violation of professional conduct and the rules of the CPD.

Stop with the excuses.

He can try to cut Crowley some slack if he wants. But she was doing much more than moderating when she corroborated Obama's distortion. Anyway, here is a column which describes very well Obama's dilemma, and the Rose Garden talk doesn't get him out of this:

Obama Lied, Crowley’s Cred Died

In particular, this passage is very good:

But facts that the president knew almost immediately, or even prior, began to trickle out, eroding the ground under his deception: There had been no protest at all in Benghazi. Al Qaeda was active in Libya. England had removed its diplomatic personnel for that reason.

There had been several threats and attacks aimed at the consulate and ambassador. He feared for his life. He requested additional security. The assault was sophisticated, well executed, and probably aimed at seizing intelligence about American activity in the area. State Department and almost certainly White House staffers watched the attack in real time from posted video monitors.

The truth now in plain sight underscores the president’s failures of policy and leadership. Until Benghazi, he could boast of a hopeful Arab Spring, winds of reform in the Middle East, advancing peace, and al Qaeda “on the road to defeat.” Those happy talking points lie in blackened shards.

So she wasn’t a corrupt moderator, just stupid. That makes it better. [/sarc]

The Real Reason for the Ambassador's Murder and the Obama/DNC Coverup

al Qaeda, Boko Harem, pirates from Somalia, AQIM, al Shabaab, AQAP,
and Ansar al Sharia were (conveniently) provided
15,000 MANPADS by Obama and the DNC
For plausible deniability, Operation 'Wind Zero',
using Sean Smith and the two retired SEALS,
executed by the company and State Department
tracked this "loss" (planned transfer to al Qaeda
from Obama's American Caliphate) and
produced a 'kill list’ for drone strikes.

This was apparently not approved by Al Qaeda in Libya's ringleader,
Abu Sufian Ibrahim Ahmed Hamuda bin Qumu,
who was employed by Hillary Clinton and
Obama-the-Undocumented, and
was released from Gitmo to Qaddafi in 2007.
The SECOND 911 Atrocity was Hussein Obama's October Surprise
which got a little out of hand.

So know she isn’t complicit, she is just stupid.

[Raycpa]

I hope she took the morning after pill.

[Mike Darancette]

Does not answer both questions:

1. Why did Crawly have a transcript of the speech in question with her at the debate? (she was a moderator not a fact checker)

2. How did Obama know Crawly had a transcript of the speech in question with her at the debate?

[fatima]

She looked like a grade school Kid raising her hand”I have the answer””I have the answer”.She should be ashamed for embarassing all women in her profession.

The way that Candy was defended by CNN, CNN is going to be the biggest loser of this episode. Millions of viewers were able to see pure, unadulterated bias in Candy’s moderating, and since Candy Crowley represents CNN and CNN thought that Candy did such a terrific job, CNN had better fight MSNBC at the bottom of the bias sewer for the same viewers.
