CNN South Carolina Debate (1/19/12) -- Official Thread!

What was GREAT about that was he was about to go to a twitter question, and you caught a glimpse of it. It was about IRAN! They were going to try to screw him with the corwd with the last question of the debate. But the crowd demanded they let him speak about abortion, and damn did he knock that thing out of the park. Santorum tried to throw him a curve ball, and Paul took it and when he was done, in one sentence explained how his stance would repeal Roe V. Wade by virtue. It was a great way to end the debate.

That's an additional reason why the CNN team blacked out Paul from post-debate discussion---it was damage control, for having the end of the debate get hijacked away from them by the audience, to Paul's benefit. Their intent was to make Paul look bad at the end of the debate, but their plan had been upended.

MSNBC/TIME/Obama apologist Puppet

Mark Halperin

Paul



Style: Showed off his classic phlegmatic animation but seemed detached from the main event.
Substance: More specific than usual in talking about job creation but fuzzy on whether veterans should get extra government help.
His worst moment: Failed to seize the moment to contrast himself on health care with the three other candidates.
His best moment: Gave a good answer on abortion
The main thing: His lack of engagement in the day-to-day rhythms of the campaign left him out of the dialogue most of the night. He didn’t suffer his usual battering on foreign policy, but failed to take the opportunity to go on the offensive in his areas of strength.
Grade: C-

Halperin is a lefty, the left is terrified of Ron just as much as the right is, because the left knows Ron can defeat Obama.

Looks like this has been changed. The Best Moment section now reads "None stood out."

This is ridiculous on many levels, but look at this one:

Shouldn't this be part of Ron's appeal? I've seen many people describe him as being the only adult in the room. It's a GOOD thing that he didn't join in the bickering with the others. Santorum, Newt, and Mitt arguing over tax returns and whose record is least corrupt was embarrassing. That Ron didn't get into it makes him stand out.

Obviously Halperin is pushing the left. He even mentioned yesterday how feeble the rally with Mitt in Florence, SC had like 30-40 people. CNN today stated that Romney's Rally in Charleston "Very Sparse" on crowd. Halperin has been with Romney for this race, yet he missed the biggest GOP speech, dialog, interaction rally in Charleston @ Charleston College.

3 establishment hacks and 1 true outsider. I would stand away from those guys too.

Well, he does have an add that says he stands alone. :)

I saw a comment on an article tonight that referenced the debate as Ron Paul and the Three Stooges. I thought it was clever.

I must have seen a different debate because Ron Paul was the clear winner of tonight's CNN hosted circus.

Halperin actually changed it and said Paul had "no good moments" whatsoever (took out abortion mention).

He doesn't particularly care if everyone knows he's a piece of shit biased prick.
 
They're mentioning the debate here in Australia, and once again Ron's name isn't used once. FARK that pisses me off.
 
The today show almost NEVER mentions Ron Paul, and they followed that pattern this morning as well. It was all about gingrich, romney evading the tax release, and santorum.

I'll bet the controllers behind the scenes that are writing these scripts on teleprompters are laughing their arses off reading these forums.
