The Right Scoop
The thing most here don't seem to accept, the murders were acts of terror whether they wear precipitated by the video, a protest gone bad, or planned action. So Obama called the acts that in the Rose Garden. The argument Romney should have tried to make should have been solely about security, not whether they were called acts of terrorism. Obviously Obama would not have used the phrase, or even held the press conference, if the events hadn't occurred. Romney's misplaced aggression clouded his judgement and he paid the price.
She was only a day late and not in front of millions of viewers.
I think her and Obama planned something like what she did.
Did you hear Obama ask her for the transcript like he knew she had it?
Too bad she had not read it first. Typical liberal media flunkie.
I don't hear any retraction in her words. She did the right thing during the debate and after it.
It sounds as if, the day after the attack, Obama included it in the general category of "terrorist acts." There apparently followed two weeks of muddle and confusion while the fact were sorted out, after which the incident was positively labeled "a terrorist attack."
Obama was right about immediately calling the attacks "terrorist" and Romney was right in pointing to the two weeks of confusion.
It didn't sound like Crowley was apologizing, just explaining.
And the president followed her up with 'Can you say that a little louder, Candy?'
What can one say.
he has yet to date let alone in the Rose Garden said the words "It Was An Attack Of Terrorist!" Ms. Crowley!
He Lies and Your Cover For Him Is Very Poignantly Present And It Will Be The Complete In Its Entirety The Down Fall Of America!
Candy do tell. Yes, she knew that Libya question was coming. And of coarse she did all she could to deflect, even if it meant to distract and court what Obama's response would be. Picking the wrong word...? how bout stating that what Obama had said was in-fact not in truth.
However, Obama did perform for his base--right on his mark. Lie's upon lie's and what made-it for better viewing, he acted the part. Hostile, aggressive and even encroaching into Romney's space. Obama's a babbling fool, still trying to fake-it to make-it. All the while the rest of America is tittering off the cliff.
3 points
1. "A lie is half way round the world before truth can get out of bed in the morning."
Just ask the rusty old Nazi propaganda machine what carries more weight? The lie or the retraction. Lie always wins.
2. Body language is the most important communicator. Gov Romney was flustered when the Ms. Crowley defended the President. Mr. Obama was coached to stare his opponent down and take command of his body language and firm up his tone. He did just that. It was the perfect setup.
3. Like too many blogs, we are all preaching at ourselves on this blog. With repsect to the blogger host that needs our participation to sell ads, fan out and choose the Huffinington Post or a liberal blog to state a case...and be prepared to be crucified. Maybe beheaded would be the more appropriate term.
God Bless America.
God Help America.
She's a liar. I actually think she and the 0 team spoke about this specific wording before the debate. It was just a little too handy and too sketchy to believe that small misinterpretation didn't pass by with out incident. Another opening Romney had but let go was when 0 said something to the effect that "with the money we save" relative to the wars ending. If we don't spend money on a war in the future its not that we had money for it in the first place, it would have been borrowed (or printed) money we didn't have. Instead, 0 showed his true colors and immediatley suggested using that "savings " to spend somewhere else. This would have been a perfect time to show that 0 has no intention of stopping the spending.
Concerning the economy and the "video that spawned the terror activity" and trying to convience the American people as the cause of such deeds, I was hoping Romney would advise Obama that THIS is why he should be apologetic.
hotair dotcom had it right, some 60+ million viewers saw the original so-called 'piece' and maybe if lucky CNN had about a million viewers for this so-called "correction" of the facts.
Why the Romney camp agreed to Candy is beyond me...
A moment like that was one of the many reasons I cheered for Newt during the primary season.
Gosh...what he could have done was this!
Why are all of the "moderators" liftists???
Fat assed liberal candy should lose about 100 plus pounds...
the more i watch that clip with Candy Crowley, falsely leading the "president" on the "act of terror" portion of the debate, the sadder i get for our TROOPS overseas. it's no wonder she and Obummer look so ragged; must be hard to get a good night's sleep with so much lying and deception.
She is indefensible. She was biased and wrong. And the boneheads lemmings who don't pay attention now think dear ruler was right or they will at least give hime a pass on Libya.
She was a trainwreck.
Crowley had no business injecting her opinion in this debate. None. I didn't see her fact-checking any of Obama's comments. Why was that? I'll bet you four years from now you will see much tighter restrictions on "moderators." This was a terrible act of media bias and should not be allowed to be repeated again. And I don't think either side will allow it to happen without a fight.
Gee, never could have predicted that way back when the "moderators" were selected, right RNC?
So if Obama wins, I guess will see old Cindy part of the administration. These Libs are so predictable.
This is not a retraction it is a clarification..... people are reading into this what they want to hear not what is actualy said (both left and right of the politcal spectrum).
Oh, yeah...now she says it in a more proper way but still not with much backbone. During the debate she made it sound like Obama called it a terrorist attack from the very beginning...which is a lie. She said it took two weeks "for the whole idea of there being a riot out there about this tape to come out". That's it? Obama flat out lied (shamelessly) for two weeks and she downplayed it and didn't acknowledge that it was a lie. It was obvious during the debate that she did not want to come out with the fact that Romney was telling the truth.
I believe that Candy intended to become a famous woman, the first woman to save a presidency. I think that is why she pulled the last minute, "I want it my way," foot stomping technique. Knowing the generally emasculated, pc environment in which we live , no one wanted a "scene" which is all this woman had to use in her defense. No one wanted to risk "o-f-f-e-n-d-i-n-g" now a greater crime than statutory rape.
I think she preformed like an amateur, a fourteen year old princess, stomping her foot, much like Obama's what Obama does when faced with uncomfortable facts.. History will mark this high point of the Candy Crowley career as a petty, manipulative attempt to intentionally injure hurt one candidate in favor of another. If that isn't racism, I don't know what racism is.
The woman like so many in the Democratic party cannot accept that there are people who hold opposite views, she exhibits no ethics, no courage, no ability to simply deal with the facts as they are. She is a perfect example of why it is that women,. in general, earn less than male counterparts. That seems cruel to say, but like so many modern women, her self-interest precedes everything mankind itself has struggled for over the centuries--honesty, equality, truth.
She should be ashamed.
I agree with most of what you said. The only variance is with the women making less money than men. There are reasons for that, and it's not because they are women per say. Women take off for pregnancies, and more days are taken off to tend to the kids. I know that every job I have had the women make the same amount as the men....even though in some cases they were allowed to do less work because of weight lifting abilities. I don't mean that to sound bad, because women are not built like men and I wouldn't want to require a 110 pound woman to lift 50 pound weights all day.
I have never come across a man and a woman doing the same job and the man making more money per hour.
Too little, too late. The so-called "journalists" of the MSM wonder why wonder why they aren't trusted by so many Americans and why their viewership/readership has so steadily declined. Here is a prime example of the sickness they suffer.
If she had stuck to her job as moderator, she wouldn't have to defend her "fact-checking" fail. Instead she showed her partisan colors and inserted herself into the debate.
I hope she gets hammered for this and that whatever credibility she might have had suffers as a result. It would be richly deserved.
BREAKING NEWS*******BREAKING NEWS*****
There is a bigger point that I'm not sure most people caught, but this is very important. It began when Romney asked Obama if he said that the Benghazi attack was an act of terror in the Rose Garden. Here is the transcript of exactly what was said:
1. ROMNEY: I think interesting the president just said something which is that on the day after the attack he went into the Rose Garden and said that this was an act of terror.
2. OBAMA: That's what I said.
3. ROMNEY: You said in the Rose Garden the day after the attack, it was an act of terror? It was not a spontaneous demonstration, is that what you're saying?
4. OBAMA: Please proceed governor.
5. ROMNEY: I want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror.
6. OBAMA: Get the transcript.
7. CROWLEY: It — it — it — he did in fact, sir. So let me — let me call it an act of terror...
8. OBAMA: Can you say that a little louder, Candy?
9. CROWLEY: He — he did call it an act of terror. It did as well take — it did as well take two weeks or so for the whole idea there being a riot out there about this tape to come out. You are correct about that.
Everyone. please look at number 4 and number 6. When Romney asks Obama if he's saying it's not a spontaneous demonstration, Obama says, "Please proceed governor." Then while Mitt Romney continues to speak, Obama basically orders Candy Crowley to "Get the transcript". What the heck is that???? Looks like Obama knew that Candy would back him up on this and he ordered her to "get the transcript"? Whereafter, Crowley says he did say it was an act of terror. Well, that has been debunked by John Nolte. It was nothing but semantics. Obama is so brazen. I think Crowley definitely gave Obama the topics to be discussed. Obama was too prepared for these questions. When he relied on Crowley to "Get the Transcript" that showed indisputably that Obama and Crowley were in on this together. This is a scandal and must be rooted out and must be known to everyone. This debate was a setup and Obama cheated with the help of Candy Crowley. Please pass this along.
I picked up on some of it but not all. Clearly Candy was meant to step in and say that. She then went back and changed it once CNN and Anderson Cooper said she was wrong and fact checked her.
I've read all the transcripts, even in her retraction she lies. She says she told him right after, he was "totally" right. Where and when was this?
This really pisses me off. I hope the fallout over this keeps Romney in a proper perspective for those that bought into Cbama and Crowley twisting the truth.

It's screwups like that from Crowley the Hutt that will give Romney a long-term advantage. Aspiring emperor 0bama may have been more aggressive, but like Biden, his performance was laced with blatant lies, especially regarding Libya and the emperor's cuts to oil permits. These lies will come back to bite the oh-so brilliant and benevolent emperor 0bama in the days following this debate.
The second debate may have been a tie, with a slight edge going to Romney, but the following days of fact-checking by credible sources like Breitbart, Fox News, and here at TRS over the emperor's Libya claims and others will further tilt momentum toward Romney.
The last debate will be the classic one-on-one format. The same format that allowed Romney to completely dominate the emperor will hopefully bring Romney the same victorious results again.
She told Romney she had the text, and that the lying LIAR was right. She should be strung up, after being made to apologize and having her apology run hourly on all state media outlets including the print media, until November 6th. No wonder she shills for the liar, they both think it's all about them. And what makes her think a mea culpa is sufficient or acceptable. Some of those watching will believe her intentional lie.
Upside: Here's the golden opportunity to get rid of the debate organization once and for all, with cause. Imagine, a cheap shill influencing a POTUS election.
God help us, it's crapweasel Bob Schieffer next week. Just when we thought they couldn't go any lower.
instead of Crawling at his feet, Candy, you might have asked: "Mr. Prezzy, is it the truth that the ring you have been wearing for more than 30 years is adorned with the first part of the Islamic declaration of faith, the Shahada: "There is no God except Allah." ...
That could be veeeeeeeeeery inteDestin' ;)
I think a better question on the night is why did Ms. Crowley feel the need to inject herself more than once, in my humble opinion, on behalf of Obama?
She also seemed to choose who would go first for what question and thus give the last word to a chosen individual. There were no rules in stone abut who goes first and who gets to reply. The funny thing is, I had told a friend to look out for this exact set of events.
Agree - as if the plants and her selected questions weren't bad enough. And cutting off Romney continually. Witch.
There'd better be a huge stink about this tomorrow and she'd better get fired.
To quote Candy from her after the fact admission/non-admission of guilt:
"...I knew that the President had said, you know, 'these acts of terrors will not stand', or whatever the quote was ...."
WHATEVER THE QUOTE WAS? ARE YOU F..ING KIDDING ME? Even now, after the debate, you don't know what Obama said, but you knew enough to interrupt Romney and "correct" him? If you had any integrity, you would go and hand in your resignation tomorrow!
She told us plainly that she was going to attempt to shove her own weight around during the debate--or what does "I'm not a fly on the wall" mean? Her abrupt instruction to a candidate for the presidency of the United States of America to sit down is unacceptable. She didn't do a good job. On a scale of one to 10, I give her a 2.6, or about the same number as a light, ineffective earthquake.
If I were a liberal, I would say: "not a fly on the wall, but 800 pound gorilla filling up the whole room".
But I am not, so I will not say so ;)
Candy's problem is she saved Obama, the country saw it and now she will be panned for it. On the whole she did a good job but she should have butted out on this one because Libya is too important an issue. Think she knows she flubbed it.
Goebbles propaganda was at work tonight. It's amazing how the media hack will do anything to get their guy reelected. But, the truth will prevail, whereas falsehood will destroy our country.
Romney was debating two persons tonight. As such, I think he did very well.
Will Obama recover? I think it's too late.
Too late now, useless HACK TOOL. The millions of viewers are GONE, Candy.
Thanks for being a "moderator." Maybe you should have stuck to those "rules" after all.
The critical moment caught on video...
Sideline tackle !

What matter, I influenced the debate in real time...that was my goal...right or wrong. "I'm not a fly on the wall" ya know) .
Crowley is a part of the C O A lap dog media along with her colleagues at CNN. They should unite with the liberal C O A media at MSNBC.
Disgusting how Obama had to keep calling "Candy" to help him out. How the hell do they pick all lefty moderators for these damn debates.
