[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Crowley on Romney"

“He was right in the main, I just think he picked the wrong word,” Crowley concluded. [b]She went on to say that her instinct forced her to correct Romney even though his “thrust” was correct.[/b]

The bolded holds the crux of the issue, one Jeff won't address. Crowley, as a moderator, blatantly sided with one candidate by correcting another. That was her 'instinct'

No surprise[/quote]

Assuming that you are proficient in English, you obviously understand that being "right in the main" is different from being "right". Similarly, while the "thrust" of Romney's remarks were correct, in their entirety, they were wrong.

Here is what Romney said:

ROMNEY: I want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi [b]an act of terror[/b].

In fact, as Crowley points out, Obama had called it "an act of terror" on Sept. 12. However, as Crowley later pointed out, Obama hadn't called it an act of "terrorism" so Romney's remarks were correct in the main -- there had been a two-week delay before Obama called it "terrorism", but wrong because, as you quote Crowley saying, Romney "picked the wrong word". Had he said "terrorism" instead of "terror", he would have been entirely correct.

Except for in  the paragraph preceding the phrase 'act of terror', there was no mention of Benghazi, which Romney was specifically referring to.  [/quote]
