I have a proposal to “bell the cat” of journalistic bias - at least as far as the actual TV debates are concerned. Given a Republican Congress/Senate and a President Romney with a honeymoon, would it be too much to ask for passage of a law requiring broadcasters to broadcast a full set of debates - primary as well as general election related - without moderators? Debates should be early and often, and they should be moderated only with a chess timer so that time would be equally divided, and nobody would be interrupted impolitely.

Most of the debates should be done with the participants meeting only virtually, so that they would have minimal effect on the candidates’ schedules. And some of the debates, at least, should be dueling Power Point presentations, so that facts and logic would be promoted over superficial appearances.

That would crack the nut which has always plagued Republicans - the journalists have had the authority over the TV time, and they want journalist moderators precisely to prevent facts and logic from prevailing over PR. The Republicans have always wanted the debates bad − and in any negotiation, “If you want it bad you’ll get it bad!” Hence, the Democrat-promoting moderator with which Republicans always have had to contend.

“Do you suppose it was in the can in case there was a riot and used it for this?”

That is EXACTLY what happened. For some reason they wanted Chris Stevens dead. Must have been a big reason.
1. They took away the security.
2. They sent Stevens to Benghazi just before the attack.
3. Stevens is killed.
4. They pulled out the stupid film distraction. Didn’t they even broadcast it in muslim countries after the murder?

This was all planned by the White House. Was this done behind Hillary’s back?

It was their 1st response out of the box...pre-meditated...coordinated...amplified...for days on end.

Totalitarians, foreign and domestic, are on the march.

It was not unlike fast and furious, a pre-meditated, coordinated attack on the 2nd amendment. Same MO.

Hussein and Rodham were fast and furiously puffing up the sharia law trial balloon.

They both should be tried for TREASON. They’ve attacked amendment 2. They’ve attacked amendment 1.

Domestic enemies 1 & 2.

They lied.

The excuse came out too quick to be anything but ready to go. It was simply another conservative to blame.

That's putting it mildly. It was a direct attack on our system of government by totalitarians.

--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
