Conservatives charged that Crowley, who moderated the debate, was biased towards President Obama, and were especially outraged over her fact-check of Mitt Romney on Libya. Limbaugh joined their cries on Wednesday, alleging that she "kept feeding" Obama lines and interrupted Romney a total of twenty-eight times.
"In the real world, she would’ve committed career suicide last night," he said. "In the real world — in the media world I grew up in, her career would be finished."
Limbaugh continued, “She committed an act of journalistic terror or malpractice last night. If there were any journalist standards, what she did last night would have been the equivalent of blowing up her career like a suicide bomber. But there aren’t any journalist standards anymore. And she’s going to be praised and celebrated, probably even get a raise, give her another half hour on that show she hosts."

Just as I predicted:
1. She was quite clear during the debate, while fact-checking Romney, that his overall sentiment was correct. This has been completely ignored in today's commentary. 2. The fact that Romney (stupidly, IMO) gave up 2 minutes of his time to ask Obama a question has been completely ignored in favor of "ZOMG, Obama got more time!!111!!! Favoritism!!!!1111!!!"
How did she just happen to have a print copy of the Rose Garden speech on hand? Where were her fact check printouts on the oil leases? Obama has been proven to be wrong on that issue. She should have kept her mouth shut and avoided commenting her support or lack there of for either candidate. Obviously this was a total fail for Obama since the subject he wants avoided is the main news item of the day ----with support for Romney . Everyone knew what he meant, we all saw the many comments saying it was the spontaneous response to a video and not terrorism. The Rose Garden statement was too general in it's wordage "all terrorist acts". - It does not speak directly to the Benghazi attack as a terrorist act by a terrorist group. And, yes they knew -- or should have known. Today they closed the embassy in Sweeden due to a letter containing a white substance and the NY Fed Reserve was the target of a failed attack . --- No more Al Qaeda? They actually are on the rise - and doing well.

SHE WAS IN THE ROSE GARDEN WHEN HE MADE THE SPEECH. Even I knew he called it an act of terror, and I wasn't there to watch it in person.

The NY Fed Reserve was the "target" of an attack that federal agents actively encouraged in an attempt to "catch" a terrorist. He had little to no actual connection with Al Qaeda.
And white substance =/= terrorist attack, let alone an Al Qaeda attack.

We all know this, because we read the transcript when we had that thread with a timeline of WH statement from the Washington Post, and we discussed this.exact.wording.
