In reply to the discussion: One of my surprising days on DU, [View all]countryjake
(8,554 posts)And I so agree with your estimation of how our Prez carried himself throughout the debate...the difference between his bearing and Rmoney's hyperness was so obvious to me. Tho, I had the advantage of viewing with an in-house superbly critical mate, who actually at one point wished that Lehrer would have jumped up and physically throttled ole Mitch, I was still surprised by so much of the reaction posted here at DU. I did not listen to any of the post-debate analysis, instead opting to watch the entire thing over again, so I finally came on here expecting to see some good apt descriptions of the frantic sleaze that the rethugs have chosen as their best bet to beat President Obama. That man would have been penalized in any real debate; he played the whole affair in the exact same manner as rabid right-wingers have as their MO...rudely.
All I can say (and agreeing with the point of your post) is that it seems many simply need to blow up their tvs. If we can't listen to the MSM knowing that they have but one purpose, then just shut it all off and go by one's own instincts.
