CROWLEY'S FALSE FACT CHECK SAVES PRESIDENT, DERAILS DEBATE
Breitbart.com ^ | 10-16-2012 | John Nolte

Posted on 10/16/2012 8:52:50 PM PDT by bronxville

The lowest and most dishonest part of Crowley's disgraceful "moderation" was when she actually jumped into the debate to take Obama's side when the issue of Benghazi came up. To cover for his and his administration's lying for almost two weeks about the attack coming as the result of a spontaneous protest over a YouTube video, Obama attempted to use as cover the claim that he had called the attack a "terrorist attack" on that very first day during his Rose Garden statement.

Romney correctly disputed that.

Crowley, quite incorrectly, took Obama's side and the crowd exploded.

Here's what Obama said that day:

Ask why the most popular man in mass media is never considered as a moderator? Rush Limbaugh would keep the focus on the real issues and hold the feet to the fire.

It’s coming back to haunt them. Romney and Ryan have done a great job turning this to our advantage and in the process exposing the MSM for thy lying propagandists they are.

Some do with bits and pieces, but not like how they reported Watergate, Abu-Grapes.

I know! I was saying the same thing today! She was obviously extremely biased and this was known well before the debate. Why is this allowed?! Isn’t there anybody around that can be trusted to be fair? Why is it always a lefty moderating these debates!

Watching it unfold on live TV it did not seem right. It was awkwardly and comfortably scripted, and too smooth in execution. But watching it on replay the agenda filled manipulation was obvious. It appears Candy Crowley and CNN together with the Obama Administration scripted the Libyan injection into the Presidential Debate.I’m not just talking about Candy Crowley interjecting on behalf of President Obama, and interrupting Mitt Romney, I mean the whole segment was a set up. So we did a little research:

Candy Crowley told Erin Burnett on CNN’s show Out Front, Monday Night 10/15, that she had collected the questions from the invited and vetted debate audience at Hofstra University and was reviewing them. This was Monday on the 7pm broadcast of Erin Burnett.

When the question on Libya was asked by audience member Kerry Ladka, he prefaced the question by saying:

….this question actually comes from my, err, um, a brain trust of my friends at Global Telecom Supply in Mineola yesterday, we were sitting around talking about Libya…

If Candy Crowley already had the audience questions assembled the day before, how could Kerry Ladka and his brain trust friends have been writing one?

Now Romney can hammer away this Administration's SUPER FAILED foreign policy.
The liberals/MSM thought that they could cheat but now Romney can say in the next debate that even Buzzard Crowley admitted that Romney was right that Obama did not say until 14 days after the attack on the US Embassy in Benghazi was not a terrorist attack but the result of some video.
Their plan to cheat failed and backfired on them.

Schadenfreude

" Nobody will remember the debate. What they will remember is that Obama lied and the moderator tried to give him cover by calling Romney a liar and failed. By admitting later that Romney was right, she has effectively been forced to call Obama a liar. "

BINGO !

But I might add that this was Joe Biden redux part II.
He was disruptive, rude, loud, interrupting Romney.

Romney was in the process of setting Obama up on the terror call on Lybia. He was making sure he had it down that Obama was on record as calling it terrorism initially, by his own admission, and then was going to absolutely ream him on the following two weeks of a changed story when the UN Ambassador went out, when Obama himself went out, when Hillary went out, Jake Harney and so many others and insisted that it was because of that video...and then ask him simply, why?

Why did you change your story, Mr. President? Why did you mislead and lie to the American people for two weeks? Could it have been political? It sure looks like it to the rest of us.

It would have been a great stroke...but the moderator derailed it. That’s what really happened there. But it will all come out now as people are talking about it everywhere and they cannot hide from it. Monday will set it straight again.

I know this post does nothing to add to the conversation but I just need to vent: THAT PISSED ME OFF! I am so disgusted by the media this go around. She lied and gave the debate to O. Even we Romney backers knew it was an ugly moment when it happened and it turned it Obama’s way...with clapping led by Michelle. Damnit!

Ok, done.

Romney get's his next chance in the next debate on FOREIGN POLICY to open the door even wider and at the same time expose the media for what it is.
Also ? with Crowley's admission now Obama can't say " I didn't say that " .... and Obama will be caught in another lie, and lying in the next debate.
Did you see Obama's face when the Libya question was asked ?
He looked like a crook caught red handed with the goods with nowhere to run or hide.

I didn’t miss it. I heard her say it on CNN after the debate when she was sitting around talking to the other liberal liars discussing her performance last night.
