Zo!
Don’t watch this stuff, it’s bad for your image that this is a great nation.
HRC I’m not dumb, made a boo boo.
Bosnia…. How low can ABC go…
documenting the atrocity :)
Questioning so far - all attack, all the time.
I’m assuming there will be no griping about snipergate being brought up.
Just Wrightgate and bittergate.
I’m bitter.
Eli!!
Hill on Bosnia-gate right now. Paraphrasing: “I may be ignorant, but I ain’t stupid.”
What do they call this a debate? May a duet. Parallel Play,
This debate is just ABC taking potshots at both candidates. This is something worthy of FOX
I just tuned in, and I’m ready to tune out. Can anyone suggest a reason why I should continue to watch this crap? I mean, after all, I’ve got lint to pick out of my navel…
No, I’m pissed about that too. It’s just as much of a stupid bullshit story.
HRC - I was a travelin’ first lady which makes me a world leader. Has not answered honesty numbers question
they both should not TAKE the BAIT
pssst Hi!
Can we have a POLICY question?
I don’t get the line about being tired leading to lies … why is that an answer
Hillary goes back to Bill’s lie - I was sleepy when I answered the Bosnia question - jeebus. A great big whopping LIE - but she didn’t get called on it.
naught worse than a dirty navel :P
No wonder ABC wants to hold tight to the broadcast rights. When do they break out the waterboard? I’ve been in and out and this is all they’ve managed to cover?
I think Obama is trying to remind the moderators what they’re supposed to be asking about.
Yes, you should watch so you can attest to the assfoolishness
I’m sure tomorrow the talking heads will be elated with the complete lack of policy substance in this debate.
…oooh, Bitter, Wright, Tuzla, blah blah blah
psssst — hey Ellie!
OBAMA back on script
Stephano: Has Clinton been truthful about her past?
Where does he think he is? An interview for the prom court?
she was tweepy wittle baby, and made a boo-boo
yes
Obama is basically asking for an end to gotcha coverage. Amen to that.
AMEN!
Go Obama! Bring up the issues!
waste of time
assfoolishness
Nice word, and totally apropos.
omg, flag-gate…
Obama is trying to get them talking about the fact that this could be 1929 and WW2 wrapped into one! Hey you idiot moderators, you’re a**sholes deceiving the American people. [[Smattering of applause].
Condescending, elitist questions on the horserace and the gotchas.
From the horses’ asses.
Substance? Fuggedaboudid.
…So Charlie’s going to ask about electability. Beautiful.
Oh, FFS. Some woman is asking him whether he believes in the American flag. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE.
OMG an american flag question. Obama needs to put this fucking thing down now.
CHARLIE YOU ARE A HACK,A 10,0000,000.00 A YEAR HACK
Flag lapels????
Gibson: Has a voter ask: Do you believe in the American flag?
Gibson and Stephano running neck and neck for who is the most braindead panderer for the Republicans.
Okay, that FUCKING does it… “do you believe in the flag?” I am SOOOO out of here… I can’t afford to buy a new TV, and I forgot to roll up a lot of socks to throw. I’ll catch y’all later…
Has there been ONE substantive question yet?
A Flag pin question??!!
it’s all over the nutcase wingnut internet
This is really IDIOTIC!
We need to protest this garbage.
Has there been a single policy question? Has either candidate been asked a single question about how they might act as President?
Remember how the press handled the GOP debates? Arrrgh.
yes, because all those politicians who wear american flag pins have done such a good job. Torture much? Violate laws much?
Re: Gibson:
frankly, I believe that once you have been a host on a morning fluff show like GMA or Today, you have sold your journalistic credentials and cannot be taken seriously any longer.
they are soooooooooooooooooo RIDICULOUS….wearing a gold pin means bumkis
Watch out! It will be Rezko on the inside corner nest. The Magic Man seem listlesss…does he really want it! Has he go the fire baby. Burn, Baby, Burn…..whoops, my bad…sorry!
Watch for Rezko pitch…it’s comin’!
Obviously, Obama would make a shitty president - everybody knows you can’t do good presidentin’ without wearing a flag pin on your lapel. Just ain’t possible.
does hill wear a flag pin?
Now they bring up some lady who brings up lapel flag pins?
My f*gosh. Obama is expected to wrap himself in the flag to get her vote? These people are sheep…! Hopefully they realize how they are being manipulated!
And thus ABC converts the democratic process into The Gong Show.
Why does anyone care about wearing a flag? How many here wear a flag?
letters to DISNEY …you suck
obama call this a manufactured issue.
No, we’re 40 minutes in and not a single substantive question.
Obama just said this is a prime example of the manufactured issues that distract from the important stuff. Good for him.
And now a Weatherman question. Jebus.
Rachel on recipegate. This kind of thing is big news if it’s on the democratic side, should be on the republican side too. People might care that they blame the intern.
There was a recipe she put out in the past as her own that came right off the quaker oats box!
yup
does hill wear a flag pin?
Not tonight, she isn’t.
Flag fascists.
Seriously, there needs to be a public outcry about this disgrce.
Has there been one substantive question on policy.
OH christ, the weatherman crap
Heh. I think Obama is just going to call out *all* the bullshit questions now. Excellent.
Too bad it’s not the Gong Show, the gong would be ringing on Charlie along time ago…
I thought gurls wore brooches?
Big Ol’ rhinestone ones….
Since the audience cannot, I will applaud obama’s response to the idiotic lapel pin ?
Steffanidiot: william ayers never apologized for being a weather underground. how can you be a patriot if you know bad people?
I’ll ask my question again from the previous thread:
“I’ve not watched one second of the debate tonight. Let me guess, Hillary is wearing a cowgirl outfit and refuses to admit it when the moderator points it out?”
LOL Well, is this happening? If so, maybe I’ll tune in. ;-)
We know the flag works. W wears one.
Obama is basically saying “There you go again” to the moderators.
This is all about selling ad time = $$$.
Gibson pimped their audience participation via ABC and Facebook. Maybe they need some commentary there. Just a thought.
Obamas kindergarden teacher was a BLACK PANTHER
Rachel says the whole schrub thing for Bush is fake. They are moving to Dallas, not the ranch when he’s done.
And he’s smacking down the bullshit guilt-by-association.
Next question will be about Rezko.
I wear a flag t-shirt on July 4.
Now, there’s something I’m going to do. I’ll rely on y’all to supply the rest of the stupidities in comments, but ABC and Disney are getting strongly worded letters from me… The nonsense on Big Brother 9 is making much more sense. (Don’t hit me — it’s a lead in to Dangerous Minds…!)
Glad here in MDT it isn’t on for half and hour…looks like I can skip this much…
Hillary loves to piggyback on Stephanapolis’ nonsense …
I miss the Gong Show. So much fun.
Hillary picks up the ball
Old Barbara Bush is gonna be pissed about that — she’s ON the Quaker Oats box!
Uh-uh…..
The admitted war criminal will be on the first plane to Paraguay after he steps down.
sorry, I got carried away.
HRC is such a bitch! SHut her up! Or ask her about “the fellowship” of right wing christianists she hangs out with in DC.
And Obama looks pissed about it.
Just got in how’s the debate going? Or should I be afraid to ask?
Get the Gong; I’m dragging O through the mud, but I respect Ob.
OMG, that was a great line by Hill.
keep going back to the economy and the War…Barrak
707!
“Bitch”?
Okay if I use the “N” word on Obama?
Didn’t think so.
Obama: You wanna play Weatherman? Okay, we’ll play Weatherman.
Be afraid. Be VERY afraid. Run screaming into the night.
I still think all neocons should be wearing a cardboard US flag draped on both sides of their bodies, so we can pick these fake patriots out.
I can’t believe there have been no policy questions yet. Yes I can.
yup!!!
no name calling on either HRC or Obama!
Does a Tibet flag count?
Obama unleashes the Rope- a- dope …
yep … and it’s good he came back about the pardons
Obama is begging for policy questions.
thats teh UGLY and you know it
OMG, that was a great line by Hill.
Just wondering if we’re watching the same debate. The one I’m watching is on ABC. You?
Obama is smooth and appears unflappable. He is certainly looking good tonight, at least to this uninformed observer.
I have to leave to go to my Grandson’s middle school basketball team banquet. Sounds like I’ll be glad to miss this “debate.”
“Bitch” again. Hmmm…
May I use racial epithets against Obama since it seems okay to use female epithets on Clinton?
I thought it was Obama supporters who want to end divisiveness and negativity, hope and change and all that.
This is so bad … just a horrid example of all that is wrong with our media … good god!
This is really horrible, maybe even *worse* than Russert and Williams.
Well, bitch describes behavior, which can change. Just a thought that she might not be called that if she didn’t act like one. Sometimes. Not all the time. But she’s showing that side this evening.
Have thes ass moderators
(name calling on moderator hacks is OK!)
have any of these two jerk moderators asked ONE substantive policy question?
This is just hit peice crap.
Now they have a frikkin pro Wrestling spot for the debates ONE ON ONE!
YANK ABC’s public broadcast license!
I just can’t believe she leapt on that like without even a second thought. She has not tried to move the narrative beyond the republican talking points to degrade obama. this is not even credible as a “debate”.
it’s a talking points fest.
I think the way ABC is pitching this debate they are definitely going after the 12 year old crowd.
i think your right…oy
WE all know Repubs love shiny objects.
The little green line went to over 70% with Obamas.
Now Stephanopolous is bringing up some ex-radical who Obama knows from his neighborhood. Guilt through association.
Hillary is trying to use the same thing…but “people will be asking about it…not me…but I agree with them raising it.”
I’m tired of this crap. Bill Clinton pardoned the Puerto Rican bombers, folks from the WU, interacted with folks that many call terrorists in the Middle East.
Hell, Geo. Bush allowed a self-confessed airline bomber who killed 120 people in a Venezuelan airliner to walk free!
It’s MTV’s “Rock The Cradle” without the music.
i concur…this is DINEY folks,who want to keep you and YOUR CHILDREN…UNINFORMED…TELL THEM
Juno, how would you describe Hillary tonight?
Juno are you watching ABC or something else?
Small correction for clarity…
Agreed. That word is best not used to refer to a presidential candidate and the mods will remove comments that do.
Thanks.
Hillary’s line … “I think the Repubs should apologize for the Bush/Cheney years …” FWIW, I thought it was pretty good as well …
Jon Stewart will have fun slapping ABC around tomorrow night….
Okay, up next Charlie & George discuss Rezko & Monica Lewinsky with the candidates for the next hour.
DISNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone just forwarded a link to a PA TV station (I think PA) that has Positive/Negative reactions as the debate goes on:
