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:

They had the wrong Crowley. They should have used Fox News commentator Monica Crowley, who would have asked tough questions of both candidates.
Ha! Candy effectively has taken the debate that BO did better in and has made the Libya part and her part in the debate what will be talked about all week. BO’s lying will now be the main topic of what came out of the debate. Thanks Candy!
How the hell can conservatives except a liberal moderator to be impartial? Time after time conservatives allow liberals to moderate ... what the hell!! Makes me want to scream!! Why do we continue to kow-tow to these folks? And we wonder why we lose elections.
With this attitude, we deserve to lose.
I’m still watching Fox... Hannity just mentioned something about Crowley now admitting that she was incorrect on the “fact check” of the Libya comment.
Too little, too late in my opinion, as the first impression will have more effect than even a televised correction.
Keep an ear out for more...
The debate ended when Crowley joined Obama in attacking Romney. That was BS.

I forgot to post the video of the Libya part...sorry.
She really sandbagged Romney. ALmost like it was coordinated. Just as the question which gave Obama the opportunity to mention the 47 thing when Romney couldn’t respond. Romney knew he’d do it which is why he mentioned it prior to Obama. Crowley sucked big time.
The dishonest liberal media would not allow Obama to lose tonight.
Crowley has now said she was wrong, but it’s too late because she inflicted the damage she wanted to.
And she's better looking too.
It’s as if she lied intentionally, knowing her later apology would be missed by the millions that watch the debate.
Candy now admits she was wrong....
Hey Candy how’s if feel to watch your career
Flash before your eyes? ;)
...it was....but because of the internet, that lie will be exposed by noon tomorrow and people will see the collaboration. TRhat alone will give Romney more points this week
Yes Obama said the word terror.. but in a generic sense of everyday terror of mobs in Islamist countries around the globe.
He said that possibly the Obama administration knew immediately that it was a terrorist attack but they were putting out the false narrative to fool the terrorist. Our people would then be able to apprehend them more easily if they thought they had gotten away clean.
It was all a brilliant tactic you see?
A few of the comments on Breitbart mentioned that Michelle Obama led the clap for Obama and that she also had a sign which said “laugh” on it. I didn’t see the whole debate...did anyone notice her antics?

Now Crowley is admitting that she screwed up and Romney was right..of course he was right you fat cow!! Crowley was in the tank for Obama from the beginning..it was so obvious, she had her Obama pom poms ready to go..she was practically debating Romney
She altered the debate, surprise surprise!
I sooooo wanted to call her a fat cow rather a big fat cow. Thanks for doing it for me. :)
The 47 percent comment failed badly..on CNN they had a graph which showed the response from people who were watching the debate, the second Obama mentioned the 47 percent he flat lined..people are sick and tired about hearing about the 47 percent..most people with a brain understand what Romney meant and agree with him
Thanks..I didnt mean any disrespect to cows, but I couldnt think of any other way of describing her..good thing I have a 40 inch tv screen otherwise I wouldnt have been able to see ALL of Crowley’s fat ass
The silver lining on this is that all everyone will talk about about this debate tomorrow will be how Mitt was right and both Obama and the Moderator was wrong, and will put Libya as a focus issue for the next 3 weeks.
So in a way it will work to our benefit.
Kyle - Cartman, you have such a fat ass, that when people walk down the street they go, *** damn, that's a big, fat ass.'
Cartman - No, they don't, you jealous weakling.
Passerby - *** damn, that's a big fat ass.
Or deny the terrorists the satisfaction of seeing their terrorism being trumpeted by their targets, though that would be a more likely explanation if it were a GOP president.
I’m glad to see my warning Crowley would ADVOCATE for Obama was on target. I’d have preferred to have been surprised.
LOL I love South Park I remember that episode..my sister just had a very interesting thought and I never thought of this..if supposedly Obama did not know the questions beforehand..how come Candy Crowley already had the info about what Obama said outside the Rose Garden, how come she would have THAT with her of all things
ROTFLOL
It was never, ever a real debate to begin with. It was moderated by a known Democrat supporting liberal with an audience made up nearly entirely of 2008 election Obama voters and answers stage managed to support Obama’s reelection.
It is simply a propaganda set-piece which makes Romney’s performance all the more remarkable. I started out supporting Romney by simply voting against Obama, now I’m voting for Romney.
Notice how these debates are aired on every normal channel?
If they had one conservative moderator, the broadcast networks and MSNBC and likely CNN would drop out.
It wouldn't shock me in the least if Crowley rigged it. I saw this one article on redstate the other day that basically showed how inbred DC Journalism is these days. The bias was worse than I thought, and I've at times worked in the business (local political).
...which was probably her intention all along.
And she's better looking too.
Understatement of this, and possibly the last, century.
This was my exchange on another board;
“Ann Romney had the look of defeat on her face.....”
My reply;
“Crowley also had the look of defeat on her face but somebody came by and made the guy put his feet down”.
You're right. Candy has a lot more in common with Aleister Crowley than she does with Monica Crowley.
And recall the cheers from the “undecided” audience members.
Misinformation is the vehicle the Left uses to hold onto power. It’s no surprise.
I don't watch the alphabet news channels, do they even report this story?
After the audience clapped when Candy Whorely lied to save Obama (from his lie), I wish Romney would have looked up at the audience, then looked squarely at Whorely and said: “Looks like all these (insert hand gesture for quotes) undecided voters didn’t get the no-applause memo.”, just to let the TV viewers know how biased the audience really was, and that we’re on to it.
yet another woman dives in front of the bullet for zero.
>> Yeah, she came to Obamas defense during the debate in prime time, at midnight says oops! I’m wrong.
He’s on record as lying. This incident will only help to highlight the gross negligence and deceit that followed.
See 46 above...
One could take that as a reference to acts which include the tragedy in Benghazi, obviously, but there was clearly no effort made to label it an act of terrorism. One reason why this might be: According to U.S. law, acts of terrorism are premeditated. The Obama administration’s line for days following Obama’s Rose Garden statement suggested that the attack wasn’t premeditated."

I didn’t watch... what does “ and the crowd exploded “ mean?
It was a sham....every question was from someone religious or racial minority lib and the questions were soft balls for Obama
except one apparently non liberal Jewish exception and God bless him...Mr Epstein who asked about Libya..he deserves MVP for tonight
does anyone think anyone is really undecided right now?
that one black dude seemed shaky for Obama
one thing...except for Epstein they were all about “What can the government do for me..as a woman...as a latino etc?”
and people like that are not libs or undecided?
i ain’t buying it
that slattern Crowley should be ashamed
