Already discussed in this thread here.
It's been clearly proven to be a lie. He made a statement the following morning about the attack being an act of terror.
This thread isn't about the lie, that's common knowledge among those informed, this thread is about the rigging of the debate, specifically the rigging of Candy Crowley being in-on this strategy, it was a strategy which would have been Romney's strongest point in the entire debate, but because of the plan, ended up not being a strong point for Romney, I'm not simply spouting what's already been out there, I'm making the point that Obama asking Candy to check the transcripts, and Candy siding with Obama, and Obama asking Candy to repeat that a little louder, was clearly the most obviously rigged debate I've ever witnessed.

So... Romney won the first debate - and that's AOK.
Biden whipped up on Ryan - and that moderator was brought into question.
Now Obama beats Romney and this moderator is brought into question....
Pattern seems pretty clear to me. If anything, I'll give the right credit. They're good at asymmetrical warfare.

Romney was wrong. He specifically said it took Obama
14 days to call it an "act of terror". Romney did NOT say the words terrorist attack as some confused right wingers seem to think.
Obama DID call it an act of terror the NEXT DAY in the Rose Garden, There is NO lie on Obama's part. Mitt Romney was wrong, get over it.
Plus all of the questions and moderators are approved by both parties prior to the debate. The whole thing is rigged.
And regarding the OP, Pretty sure Candy just paid attention to politics and their speeches before the debate. Would make sense, it's not hard to remember if you have a good memory.

So, um. . .
Hillary Clinton takes the blame.
Susan Rice goes on 5 news shows a week afterwards and says it's the video not terrorists.
Obama goes on Letterman, The View, The UN and blames the video, not terrorists
Jay Carney says it's the video and not terrorists.
A month later, the world realises that is was terrorists.
And Obama says, "I've been saying that all along!"
And all the dems are supporting this?
ohmygod!

Yes, Obama and Biden have both flat out lied in debates. Assuming Biden is telling the truth, that they had no idea people were requesting more security, who did know, who made the decision, why weren't they fired?

I like Biden's remark: "Folks, use your common sense. Who do you trust on this?" Hahahahaha...
However, State Department officials told a congressional hearing on Wednesday that they requested more security but were turned down by headquarters in Washington.
“It was one of those moments, and I could even feel that here, you know, when you say something you’re not expecting,” Crowley insisted, admitting she simply couldn’t help herself from unprofessionally inserting herself into a heated dispute between presidential candidates.
“He was right in the main, I just think he picked the wrong word,” Crowley said, echoing the extremely legalistic reading of the facts about what President Obama meant when he said “acts of terror” in reference to the Benghazi attack.
So, which is it? Did he or did he not know? Geez...I just can't keep up with the lies being told with this Benghazi attack story.

What a way to diffuse a potential situation!
A great thread, and a superb conspiracy!

This debate was a joke and the questions were certainly loaded in Obama's favor. The most stunning question asked of Romney.... How are you going to be different from George Bush? WTH was that. This is not the 2008 election all over again. 4 years with Bush out of office and Crowley picks that question?? Why no questions asked of Obama regarding how he is different from Jimmy Carter??? Crowley interrupted Romney 28 times compared to 9 times for Obama. Obama also got 4 more minutes of speaking... She reffed. the debate not moderated ...
As for as the Benghazi fiasco and the well calculated play and preparation between Crowley and Obama.... Spot on!! Note how quick both were able to make reference to Obama's vague statement in the Rose Garden. Just like clockwork... as was the out of line applause coming from the crowd as initiated by Michelle Obama herself. I guess she was waiting for the same moment as well....
These debates are garbage.. Only 3 debates and all three are moderated by liberal journalists. Monday's debate is hosted by Bob Schieffer. They are all water carriers for Obama. Schieffer campaigns for obama weekly on "Face the Nation"
