I overshot. I read so many delightfully psychotic breaks from the right's post-debate wingnut ward that they started blurring into an undifferentiated mass of monochromatic madness and now I'm left with a tough, tough decision: Which among this homogenized chunk of Obama Derangement Syndrome should be honored as the absolutely pixilated craziest?
Well, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, Mary Lou, and, in the end, I had to go with Newsbusters' post. It is enchantingly unhinged--arguably unsurpassed in the annals of breath-holding, carpet-chewing partisan tantrums. A taste: Candy Crowley disgraced herself tonight ... [in] one of the most outrageous acts of liberal bias in history.
It gets even better.
Her most outrageous act tonight was her incorrect seconding of Obama's statement that he declared the Libya terrorist attacks to be "terror." While Obama did indeed use the word, this is not what he meant by it.
So, Obama actually meant ... maybe ... acts of kindness? We know he said "acts of terror," but he didn't really mean "terror," as in, terror?
Oh, and I do have a runner-up. Ohio's former secretary of state, Ken Blackwell, averted all the trouble of spitting outrage and simply crawled into a hole of oblivious denial:
Romney was slightly behind on points after an hour. He pulled even after the Benghazi exchange.
Poor Ken. Drooling is such a messy business.
Romney's lie is the knockout punch in this debate, even more than the "offensive" punch. In a highly theatrical performance, romney was clearly positioning Obama for Romney's knockout punch on this issue. It was intended to counter Obama's effective two-weeks of jabbing Romney on the "dishonest" issue.
In heavyweight boxing there are punchers and there are boxers. Obama is a boxer. Romney is a puncher. The difference is punchers telegraph their punches.
So, there is Romney in center rig, and he winds up is right arm, way behind his body, to deliver the old hay-maker.
Then, out of nowhere, comes the old left hook - (as Bugs Bunney would say) "right on the kissa'." Candy tells the truth - twice.
Down goes Romney.
Everyone can see that Romney is the lying, flip-flopping, deceitful sack of shit that Obama's campaign says he is.

Maybe, if President Obama had said "acts of FORCIBLE terror" in that Rose Garden statement the day after the attack in Benghazi, Romney would have remembered what he said.

"acts of FORCIBLE terror"
How about legitimate acts of forcible terror.
OK?
