CNN debate moderator becomes to the media what the Tet Offensive was to Vietnam: Did she elect Mitt Romney?

In case people missed it, it was also like the Lincoln Assassination:

"Daily Caller founder Tucker Carlson says that Candy Crowley’s real-time fact check of Mitt Romney during Tuesday night presidential debate was so devastating that it can be compared to John Wilkes Booth’s assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in 1865.

1. I can't believe I clicked on your link to that delusional right-wing website.

I could have just taken your word for it, but no, I just had to see more. Now I'm depressed by yet another astonishing display of stupidity.

2. OK, we've heard Lincoln assassination, Tet Offensive...who has money on "9/11"

by the end of the day?

3. Stupid conservatives and their bad analogies.

Are they too stupid to even remember who won that war?

[Webster Green]

4. Because facts are very frightening to them.

Very scary indeed, as their entire platform is based on lies.

5. No it was more like Waterloo

Delusional right wing rhetoric aside, General Napoleon Romney miscalulated big time when he asked: "Let the record indicate what the President said...". Crowley had the transcript record right in front of her and was in a unique position to oblige him.

7. If a two second fact check can wreck your whole position...

you might want to rethink your positions.

11. good point

how fragile are these people? Even in that fact check she qualified it in a way that favored Romney. The RW is looking like giant whiny babies on this.

8. I'm surprised they showed restraint by not comparing it to the Holocaust.

9. and knocking doors in France is like Normandy

10. After Tet

Walter Cronkite said we can't win the war. So maybe another news-person, pointing out what was apparent, that Romney is a lying gasbag, was a little like Tet.

12. i liken it more to the hindenburg..

oh, the humanity.

13. Ms. Crowley gave Romney all kinds of time to stop talking to PBO

as per the rules of the debate. She implored him to move on but he kept after Obama until she finally fact-checked him to shut him up. If he'd been following the rules she wouldn't have been placed in that position. JMHO
