Hannity Pretends Romney Won Tonight’s Debate

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on October 16, 2012 · Flag

While two polls and most Democrats seem to agree that President handily won the debate tonight, Sean Hannity thought otherwise. And, surprise, surprise! He dissembled in making his point.

Hannity seemed genuinely upbeat which leads me to think he genuinely thought Romney did well (although I guess he might have just dug up some “new” old race video to hit Obama with tomorrow). But then Hannity said, “A CBS Insta Poll came out on the economy that shows that shows Romney won tonight, 65/35.”

In fact, the poll (of uncommitted voters) found that President Obama won the debate, 37/30 with 33% undecided. Obama won 55/49 on “gave direct answers to questions.” It’s true Romney won on the economy, though by 65/34. But Romney lost 6 points on that score from the last debate and Obama gained 7. But when the voters were asked who would do a better job for the middle class, Obama won 56/43.

Hannity also didn’t mention the CNN poll of registered voters which found that Obama won the debate 46/39%, though the results fell within the margin of error. Many Democrats also agree that Obama won.

However, I'm sure that Fox will set upon attacking debate moderator Candy Crowley and rehashing the Libya questions ad nauseum thus doing their best to ensure that the public comes to agree with Hannity, assuming that's possible.

Visitor: I love how Conservatives are obsessed with absolving “The Innocence of Muslims” role in the riots and the Benghazi attack. If the riots and subsequent deaths were over a video portraying Jesus that way, they’d have Steve Klein and Bassaly Nakoula “tillered” by now.

Several terrorist sects (not just Al-Queda) used the protests over the video turning violent as cover to take out targets they would have otherwise never gotten to, with little or no planning. Obama said it was a terrorist act the first day, but was wise enough to not name names- unlike Bush, who was planning a counter-attack against Iraq before he had even addressed the people.

Fox News wants this to be some kind of conspiracy, and they’re not even smart about it. Everyone cleared to speak about the matter said that the attack was so spontaneous they weren’t gonna name names until they could confirm protestor or terrorist, that apparently equates to a cover up in Fox world.

KKKlannity lives in a make-believe world created by Wrinkled Rupert and Jabba T. Ailes. MagicUnderwear MItt won, Fux Noise is a news organization, KKKlannity is real journalist.

LMAO!

Just for giggles, I stopped by Fox Nation for a few minutes to slop with the regulars a bit.
1. The winner of the debate, without any doubt, was Mitt Romney….by a mile.
2. Michelle Obama violated the Rules Of The Debate by physically clapping when Crowley fact-checked Mitt. (The FN ‘story’ differentiates between physical & auditory clapping, which I found hard to understand!)
3. The racial anger is at a fever pitch….quite possibly the highest level I’ve ever seen there.

Now, I need a bath to rid myself of their scum.

The fact rMoney lied about no terrorist reference on 11/12 shows rMoney is not cut out to be POTUS:

a) rMoney flat out lies much of the time
b) rMoney won’t fact-check
c) rMoney’s advisors won’t fact-check
d) b) & c) are wrong of course, rMoney & his advisors knew the facts, they just flat out lied.

As I stated before, lying is a non-issue for rMoney, he has left a documented trail of lies that span decades. Pathological liars need not apply for the position rMoney seeks.

I would think an intelligent response to each debate would be if Obama had the opportunity to redo the first debate at its conclusion he would, while Romney would like a do-over from last night’s performance. I know it’s difficult to put our bias aside when we look at something with our hearts and not heads, but I can’t honestly say that the President did well in the first. He was awful. I can’t deny it or even attempt to spin it. He lost. The past two weeks have been demoralizing watching the right continually do their end zone dance, and with the poll numbers (which I guess we’re now suppose to trust and feel that they are now legitimate again since they were now positive for Mitt) will hopefully head back in the President’s direction thanks to last night. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Saying that intelligent Americans feel this way only comes across as arrogant and snobbish, that only those who agree with your opinion or come close to you deserve the honor of being labeled as intelligent.

Klassic KKKlanity. MagicUnderwear Mitt whined away the debate with stale talking points and a constipated look on his face. But on Fux Noise, he’s a “winner.” Just ask whoremongering toe-sucking pervert Dick Morris or Frank Luntz’s fake focus group. Tomorrow, Fux Noise will trot out “Dr” Quack Allblow for one of his crackpot theories.

@ Lori

America is not a corporation that can be downsized (unless you ‘fire’ 47% ?), run on lowered wages and finally “Harvested” after 5 to 8 years for the benefit of the CEO and his pals. You clearly have No Idea what has been going on in the world for the last 67 years.

From Mitt Romney’s FB page:

“Presidential Debates: Mitt Romney 2 – Barack Obama 0

In tonight’s performance by both candidates Barack Obama did his best to dance and weave with his lies and false attacks but Mitt Romney had the truth and his points hit squarely for another win tonight despite another poor liberal moderator who did her best to help the failing contender including backing him up in a …lie about Benghazi and the Rose Garden. And the last and final debate will be about…you guessed it, foreign policy so get ready for a KO next week! American needs Mitt please keep him and his family in your prayer and God bless America!"

In other words, Romney declared himself the winner, then turned around and admitted he lost to blamed Crowley for his defeat. Let me repeat that:

Mitt Romney flip-flopped on whether or not he believes he won the debate.

Let that sink in. And you know which side of that Fox News is on- without the facts.
