Im tired of Candy Crowley getting props on the debate. She fucked up big IMO. [View all]

She did the false equivalency and it turns out she was dead wrong too. The administration blamed the video, because the video did apparently play a role in the attacks and intel backs it up. She should apologize to Obama and his administration. Typical CNN hacks.

Your concern is noted. Please feel free to share more of your concerns, and enjoy your stay. nt msanthrope Oct 2012 #1

I agree. She could've left it at "he did call it a terrorist act", but instead chose to make up Marr Oct 2012 #2

No, she didn't "fuck up"... Spazito Oct 2012 #3

I'll pass it on to her. TheCowsCameHome Oct 2012 #5

You're going to have to flesh that out a bit more. DU is a little weary of trolls. Prove you aren't. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #6

Sorry I don't have 40k post. I have no desire to reach that milestone. Crowley sux and always has. GusFring Oct 2012 #12

Thanks. We all started at post #1 at some point. We've just been getting invaded lately... HopeHoops Oct 2012 #14

Posters have to prove they AREN'T trolls? Nine Oct 2012 #16

That wasn't my intent. I was trying to avoid a hidden thread for that supposition. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #19

What an awful post. You certainly DO NOT speak for me! Romulox Oct 2012 #18

See my reply #19. I obviously worded the "prove" part wrong. I was just looking out for the poster. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #20

Your post was accusatory and aggressive. "Prove you aren't" and "this one smells of troll" Romulox Oct 2012 #21

Personally, I support HopeHoops' handling of this. Wednesdays Oct 2012 #23

Thank you. But I did chose my words wrong. I can see the confusion. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #25

What in the world are you talking about? etherealtruth Oct 2012 #7

umm...nt SunsetDreams Oct 2012 #8

You have to choose your battles, no need to go after someone who helped us more than she hurt Bjorn Against Oct 2012 #9

Nope...she did us a service by fact checking Mitt. tallahasseedem Oct 2012 #10

It was supposed to be a *FOREIGN POLICY* debate. She let it become a domestic one. Romulox Oct 2012 #17

I think she was wrong to introduce herself into th debate. efhmc Oct 2012 #22

I wish moderators would do it more not less... Spazito Oct 2012 #24

Then it becomes something different than a debate. It becomes a three person efhmc Oct 2012 #26

I disagree, it would enhance the neutrality of the moderator and keep the discussion... Spazito Oct 2012 #28

She should let the candidates say their piece... Lightbulb_on Oct 2012 #27

The ridiculous parsing of whether "an act of terror" means a 'terrorist attack'... Spazito Oct 2012 #30

Mitt kept repeating a lie. Candy shut him down once and forever. reformist2 Oct 2012 #29

Why does everyone expect perfection from the talking heads? randome Oct 2012 #31

Yeah, right. You'll find a large can of "Take-a-Hike" in aisle 2. nt. OldDem2012 Oct 2012 #32
