actually if people were more adept at understanding things in context.......youd know that what he was calling terror was in context to OTHER things he mentioned in his speech......
The entire rose garden speech was ABOUT the libya attacks! How much more contextual can you get?!?

First of all Romney picked Candy as well.
And how do you guys deny the truth over and over.
It's on video right after the incident "Acts of Terror"
Bill Maher is right about the not reality bubble.

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.

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

Yeah, what a way to deflect from what was obviously a major flub from Romney! Make up a totally ridiculous conspiracy! Yay!

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.

This question was debated on several talk shows and possibly even CNN many times leading up to the debate, it is no secret as to this verbiage, it would seem Romney would not even have chosen this hair to split for the upteenth time and set himself up to look stupid, now for many people that do not keep up with news and talk shows, maybe this point was the first time they have heard it.
There was no rig, there was no set up, Romney or his advisors should have made him stay away from that loaded question because it was already proven the president used the terms he described and the exact words, sort of like beating a dead horse, Romney was wrong, the president was right, end of story.edit on 18-10-2012 by phinubian because: (no reason given)

Paranoid.. The thing is, it is rigged.. by the both of them, to keep out the third parties. Obama was always getting his second term. I have said it before and I will say it again, he laid low on the first debate so he could bring in more dems to vote. They would have had a bad showing because they though "it's in the bag" and then when he blew the first debate they though "oh sh*t, we gotta vote" that tightened up the race and returned the illusion of making a choice. NOW that he has tightened the race up with act one, he began act two of catching up and coming to life in the debate last night, the next debates will show Romney being the more subdued one and Obama will be champion.
He was always going to win, that is why the GOP ran such weak candidates against him. They are more concerned about their turn, next election. This close race has only existed for one reason, to keep out the idea of a third party. If they didn't keep Romney close (which they have had to pull some manipulation to do because no one likes him, and many no longer like Obama), then people would be free (not worried about getting Romney) to consider seriously electing a third party.
You saw what they did to Paul and now you can see what they are doing the Johnson and the rest of the third party candidates.

When you realize that the DEMS and GOP are one and the same, that Romney would have done the exact same thing, it really doesn't matter. You should be more upset by the fact that they are running a game on you and the American people and not allowing third parties to debate because they will bring up real questions and realyl debate. It's easy to get two guys on stage with promises not to bring up certain things that hurt each other, and to not address each other or some of the real major problems. You get just one third party on the stage and the real questions come out, and people start to notice that neither of the "main" candidates want to talk about it. They want you to ignorantly vote back and forth. This year Obama has it, Romney is just their because someone has to be (or else someone they couldn't control, might be). Don't vote for either of these clowns. It's insulting to America and to your own intelligence.edit on 18-10-2012 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)

You are amazing. We are not stupid. We know how this was presented to us. We remember... it just happened. No matter how hard you try to lie and obfuscate you cannot spin this another way. This will backfire on you so by all means keep it up.
