This debate was ruined

Wonder why Fox let it happen?

Are they even competent? But, of course, they have bad intentions for Dems.

This is the worst handled presidential debate in history. No question about it.

Fox.

I just got home and don't have the TV on. What happened??

his nutcase follwers kept disrupting

shouting from the audience??

Sharpton got on the pulpit and read them the riot act.

. . . for screwing us royally for so long.


Sorry, couldn't fix your typo so thought I'd have some fun with it.

:evilgrin:

why is the debate ruined?

why is everything a conspiracy?

Amazingly enough. As I said in a different thread, Brit Hume must be grounding his teeth down to stumps.

BTW, why can't Sharpton pronounce the word 'ask?' He keeps saying 'axe.'

nt

although it was most likely a LaRouchite conspiracy. The disruptions are obviously coordinated.

Karl Rove didn't call them into action :eyes:

rather than a big conspiracy

Fox did do a lousy job at security, though.

n/t

happen, I tuned late (30 Mins) but from what I saw when someone started shouting they took time to bounce the person and continued.

I'm suprised that this was allowed to go on at all... the candidates were suckered into the FAUXhole, as it were.

going to be replayed?

on a channel managed by Nixon's dirty trickster? and..given that it'snot anywhere NEAR any of the elections....do you think the Dems got a clue??? Don't go on your enemy's network?

Overall, anyway; Juan Williams comes across totally baiting them, but so what? They are all answering fine. The LaRouche interruptions, even if they were planted by Rove, didn't fluster any of them.

Who cares if its Faux? Maybe there are Republicans watching who will be impressed by one or a few of these folks, and I don't mean Juan Williams. I mean the candidates.

Some people on DU seem to think they can only appear on Dem-friendly territory. That sounds like Bush tactics to me (i.e., invited audiences only).

s_m

not that they would but there sure must have been some in the audience.

I thought we were supposed to appeal to those folks. Isn't awfully extremist of you to refer to them as "the enemy"?

never was. Never will be.

He is a facist who claims to be liberal. He is a convicted criminal, a nutcase, etc.

I agree enemy is a poor choice of words, but appealing to a LaRouche supported is like appealing to a Freeper.

It's September and 70% of Democrats don't know who is running. This is one debate and I think it's a lot of fun to watch.

Also, getting on the most watched channel in news can't hurt, even if it's mostly Republican viewers.

at first of course.

given the number of interruptions, and the dismantling of the candidates afterwards. . . well what can you expect from this bunch of fascist cheerleaders ?

in the face of this (and Smirky's Sunday address), how in the HELL can people still believe in a "Liberal" media ???

IMMEDIATELY after the debate, they started badmouthing the candidates, saying that they mentioned goals, but no actual ideas for change. I for one wholeheartedly agreed with Edwards' education reform ideas, as well as Health Care reform ideas that were mentioned by other candidates.

Yet after *es address on sunday, there wasn't even a dissenting opinion from CNN, "known" by conservatives to be the most liberal news network around.

sorry, i'm a little angry now, and words escape me.

The candidates did not attack each other. Fox is royally pissed and you could hear the aggravation in the pundits. Fox got taken this time, they thought they could get good footage of dems attacking each other to run for the next year. *snort*

The debate was interrupted several times by protesters in the hall. "This is crazy," said Sharpton, a man who first rose to prominence as a civil rights street activist.

Now, for the sake of accuracy, shouldn't that read "The debate was interrupted several times by organized disruptors sponsored by Lyndon LaRouche?"

I thought Carol nailed it when she said, "Do they do this at Republican debates?"

The whole thing was unfortunate, but luckily, I thought the candidates did an excellent job of recovering and staying on-message.

It was a black eye for Fox. I seriously doubt
that they would have set this up.

It was much like a bunch of Freepers getting together
to scream themselves senseless at one of Mrs. Clintons
book signings.

I seem to remember some of them in Baltimore this past June. Yawn I dont know.
