Crowley’s Interference Saved Obama From Another Shellacking
Jewish Press ^ | October 18th, 2012 | Lori Lowenthal Marcus

Candy Crowley, the moderator of the presidential debate at Hofstra University on October 16, interfered in this U.S. presidential race in a way no one ever has before and—let’s hope—no one ever will again. Crowley loudly validated President Barack Obama’s version of reality—and contradicted Governor Mitt Romney’s recollection of actual reality—regarding what the president said in the Rose Garden about what happened in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2011.

During the debate President Obama said he called the murder of four Americans an act of terrorism. Romney said he didn’t. Crowley said he did. And Crowley told them they had to move along.

And then the debate did, in fact, move on. And the one opportunity during this debate that voters had to understand what Obama knew, when did he know it, and what did he call it, was lost. …

From Fox at least, for one of them. Of course, with Ailes’ “course correction”, they might be left of center . . .

What about this? Is this related to Murdoch's trial?

I don’t think the phone hacking thing is related.

Candy Crowley, proud member of CLAM, Censoring Liberal Agenda Media.

Crowley proves that NO member of ANY Media should ever be a Moderator again.

Get a History Professor to be the Moderator, or have no Moderator at all.

Sorry for the double-post .... I'm getting repeated "server is not responding" popups from my browser, as if FR were being DDoS'ed. It now appears backing up and trying the post again is not the answer.

Could you please remove the redundant post?

Fair point.

How about Professor Larry Sabato at NC, and appears on Fox from time to time as a political expert?

I hope I didn’t come across as a chit.

No, not at all. I was just clarifying that my comment was aimed at the popular notion and not your comment in particular.

Perhaps an economic expert for debates on economic policy and so forth. I'm drawing a blank on names myself.

If we win this then this will be one of the greatest victorys in history

And it will, without a doubt, be by the grace of Almighty God, who took great pity upon our wayward, undeserving souls.

With all the blow back from Crowley’s behavior, I think it helps Romney much more than if she kept her mouth shut.

RE :”Did you notice how fast Crowley changed the subject when Romney brought up Fast and Furious???”

I found Crowley very annoying, no doubt or argument there.
But Mitt+CO agreed to these debates because they thought they needed them. If they felt they had the upper hand they would have demanded a Britt Hume, or at least Brett Baur. Now that would have been fun.

Not surprisingly yesterday a number over at the Dem channel were making fun of R whining about this debate, some the same ones who whined about the first debate. They concluded that this is an admission that Mittlost. Duhhh!

Lou Dobbs, John Stossel, Mary Katharine Ham or Dr. Krauthammer (a registered Democrat, after all)
