the “new servers” have been coming for years

You've noticed that as well, huh? ;-)

I very rarely come to FR these days, let alone depend on it for debate live threads.

The wonderful, free-wheeling fun live thread days on FR are apparently over... it's a shame - it used to be lots of fun.

Hope you hang in there on FR, though, FRiend... you've posted some great stuff here over the years.

So... it's now verboten to complain about FR's servers not responding

I had no idea it was verboten, but the crash sure put an end to the drinking game. I had to watch The Blaze.

LOL. It took me several tries and many minutes! I kept trying to refresh my ping page and it wouldn’t refresh either, so I had no way to check to see if my comment had posted.

Disaster all the way around.

If they didn't, Crawley's "fact check" error will certainly make it clear. I sense a short commercial coming out of that one just to inform the public.

Rush reported that the focus groups of undecided's most certainly realized the Marxist was lying. THAT's pleasing!

Overlooked is the fact that Romney put an exclamation point on obama’s Libya lie when he said, “You are saying this FOR THE RECORD?”
After that, when obama and crowley doubled down, all they succeeded in doing was to compound the lie. It is on tape. They can’t take it back. And it WILL come back to bite both of them huge.

OH YES, I didn't miss that either. Romney set her up on that one.

Crowley had no business playing referee. She was worse than the NFL subs.

Facts matter.

Ooh La La!

Mark Knoller ‏@markknoller

At campaign rally in Iowa, Pres Obama says of last night's debate: "I'm still trying to figure out how to get the hang of this thing."

Aww, is Barky's big lie backfiring?

We need to raise hell with our House reps and Senators. Allowing only hard core left wing moderators is tantamount to attempted suicide.THIS IS NOT A DAMN REALITY SHOW, OUR COUNTRY IS AT STAKE HERE!

For sure.

Rush called Crowley moderating akin to a terrorist attack and he's right.

Sheiffer moderates Monday's on foreign policy.

Regarding the slowness issue, has there been any explanation anywhere on this site? Not trying to be a wise guy, I have looked and seen nothing.

Seems if there is a huge problem that at least people coming on the site would be able to see an explanation of what is going on. I’ve only seen it mentioned by Mr. Robinson once in a thread, briefly, basically saying “I have no idea”.

Again this is said with all due respect and deference and in realization I have no inside knowledge but it is a legitimate query.

My take? His genuine shock at how fast the media shifted into full-out CYA mode over Candy C’s lame attempt to shore up that bald-faced lie with which Eye Candy and Candy attempted to play “gotcha” with Romney.

Off topic, but when I pulled up Yahoo News, and Google News, neither one had a picture of the debate. Both buried it in a side column.

Amazing in a debate that Obama supposedly won.

What is awesome is that even in their attempt to bail Obama out of the Libya issue they just amplified it more. So they got their fake gotcha moment when Crowley interrupted Romney with a “fact check” and the planned applause led by Michelle Obama, but for the next few days everyone is just looking into the Libya issue more. So much for taking it off the table.

Yep. His “exposed” lie is one that’s traveling around the whole USA and likely the world.

Candy is shamed but applauded by her shameful and shameless colleagues. She did her journ0list job.

I think your comment is very on topic. The scales are falling like mad from the eyes of the public and both the administration and the media know it.

This is far, far worse (Benghazi Gate in general) than Watergate ever thought of being. And Candy stepped in it big time in her pathetic attempt to disarm Governor Romney while providing cover for her idol.
