Supplemental: Rubio drops the bomb in debate!

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2015

And other signs of the times:
The functioning of our upper-end press corps is just amazingly low.

Given their incomes and social cachet, it's amazing how unimpressive they tend to be. Last night's Republican debate provided a gruesome case in point.

Repeatedly, the questions were both snarky/negative and unchallenging at the same time. Intellectual rigor never quite entered the building.

Opportunistically, the candidates kept noting the snark and the negativity. This let them extend a familiar old charge concerning alleged liberal bias.

Becky Quick provided the evening's comic relief with her question to Candidate Trump about a statement on his official web site. Uh-oh! As became apparent, Quick didn't seem to have any idea where the statement in question had come from. When Trump denied that he's made the statement, Quick was left to say this:
QUICK (10/28/15): Where did I read this and come up with this? That you were—

TRUMP: Probably— I don’t know. You people write the stuff. I don’t know where you—

(LAUGHTER)

(APPLAUSE)

TRUMP: [Rolls eyes in frustration]
After the audience laughed at Quick, Trump continued to speak. Moments later, this exchange occurred on the same topic:
QUICK: If I may say, Mr. Trump. You’ve been, you have been— You had talked a little bit about Marco Rubio. I think you called him Mark Zuckerberg’s personal senator because he was in favor of the H1B [visas].

TRUMP: I never said that. I never said that.

QUICK: So this was an erroneous article the whole way around?
Presumably, Quick had been provided the information in question by staff. For herself, she seemed to have no idea where the info came from.

Later in the evening, Quick returned to the subject, informing Trump that she had been quoting material from his own web site. Trump and Quick made quite a pair this evening.

Everyone can make a mistake. Quick's cluelessness concerning her own material may reveal the haphazard way our big TV stars gather their information and their understandings. That said, the American discourse is conducted at a very low intellectual level. This has been true for a very long time.

Here's an horrific example:

Last night, the public was exposed to a famous old script which we thought was withering on the vine. Candidate Christie uncorked the old chestnut, a gruesome tale the liberal world has never known how to address:
CHRISTIE: Let me be honest with the people who are watching at home. The government has lied to you and they have stolen from you. They told you that your Social Security money is in a trust fund. All that’s in that trust fund is a pile of IOUs for money they spent on something else a long time ago.

And they’ve stolen from you because now they know they cannot pay these benefits and Social Security is going to be insolvent in seven to eight years.

[...]

This is for the guy, you know, who owns a landscaping business out there. If somebody’s already stolen money from you, are you going to give them more?...We need to get realistic about this. We’re not— The American people, forget about anything else, they’ve already been lied to and stolen from...
"Let me be honest with the people at home," Christie sub-honestly said.

Why are Republican voters angry? In large part, because they've been hearing stories like that for the past thirty-plus years.

In that hoary old story, they've been lied to and stolen from by the federal government. All the money they've submitted in payroll taxes is now a pile of worthless IOUs. Social Security will soon be going broke.

The liberal world has never devised a clear response to that hoary old tale. Nor has the liberal world ever tried to create outreach to the tens of millions of people who get deceived by this hoary old story. The laziness of the liberal world is a large part of our ongoing story, in which our society continues to spiral downward in the face of tales of that type.

How useless are our liberal leaders? We've saved the worst for last. As Halloween approaches, this particular horror story came from Candidate Rubio:
RUBIO: OK. I know the Democrats have the ultimate SuperPac. It’s called the mainstream media, who every single day—

(APPLAUSE)

—and I’ll tell you why.

Last week, Hillary Clinton went before a committee. She admitted she had sent e-mails to her family saying, “Hey, this attack at Benghazi was caused by Al Qaida-like elements.” She spent over a week telling the families of those victims and the American people that it was because of a video. And yet the mainstream media is going around saying it was the greatest week in Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

It was the week she got exposed as a liar. It was the week that she got exposed as a liar—

(APPLAUSE)

But she has her super PAC helping her out, the American mainstream media.

QUICK: Senator Rubio, thank you very much.
Candidate Clinton was exposed as a liar last week! Here's how Rubio knows that:

Clinton sent an e-mail to her daughter saying the attack at Benghazi was caused by an al Qaeda-like group. But she told the American people that the attack was because of a video!

Did Secretray Clinton ever attribute the attack to the video? We aren't entirely sure.

But as any sane person can see, there's no contradiction there. Despite what Rubio was selling last night, there's no obvious reason why an al Qaeda-like group couldn't stage an attack because of an insulting video.

Is that what actually happened? In the wake of last week's hearing, we haven't seen a single news org try to report the facts about this situation.

What is the current state of intel concerning the cause of the attack? We've seen no one ask or say.

Once again, the L-bombs began to fly after last Thursday's hearing. The mainstream press and the liberal world both sat around sucking their thumbs, as is the reliable norm.

We're stuck inside our own Salem Village, feeding urine cakes to dogs. Our national discourse operates at roughly mental age 10. Little Betty Parris was 9 when she touched off the irrational frenzy inside historical Salem.

We're hapless and lazy and nobody likes us. We lost the White House this way in 2000. We could easily do it again.

  1. The CNBC moderators were inept and biased. Cruz did a great job of pointing out the bias, because he included specifics:

    "The questions asked in this debate illustrate why the American people don't trust the media."

    "This is not a cage match. And you look at the questions -- Donald Trump, are you a comic book villain? Ben Carson, can you do math? John Kasich, will you insult two people over here? Marco Rubio, why don't you resign? Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen? How about talking about the substantive issues," Cruz said to commanding applause from the audience....

    "...The contrast with the Democratic debate, where every thought and question from the media was, which of you is more handsome and why?" Cruz asked ...

    "Let me be clear," Cruz said. "The men and women on this stage have more ideas, more experience, more common sense, than every participant in the Democratic debate. That debate reflected a debate between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks."

    "Nobody believes that the moderators have any intention of voting in a Republican primary," Cruz said.

    "The questions being asked shouldn't be trying to get people to tear into each other, it should be what are your substantive solutions to people at home," Cruz said before getting cut off.


    The moderators helped confirm Cruz's accusation by interrupting him and hassling while he gave this statement.

      Take the question to Trump. He wasn't asked if he was a comic book villain. He was asked why his policies sound like "a comic book version of a presidential campaign."

      Vox is splitting hairs. Whether or not CNBC used the specific word "villain", they accused Trump of being bad and compared him to a comic book. That's not a professional debate question; it's a school yard taunt.

      Furthermore, Vox ignored the nasty tone of the questions, the frequent interruptions, the moderators' arrogance and obvious disrespect, and their hectoring of the candidates

    6. Vox's analysis is spot on. Trump's campaign is a joke. He goes around saying how awesome he is, and how everyone else is "stupid," how great he would be as president -- how we're gonna "win so much, you'll get sick of winning," and how easily he could do all these crazy things, like make Mexico pay for a wall between our countries. And he never says the first thing about how any of it is going to actually happen. And ideas like Carson's flat tax of between 10 and 15 is ludicrous and reveals how shockingly out of touch with reality (both in terms of poor people's plight and in terms of how government works) he is. These people deserve to be called out for their fatuousness and lunacy.

      'The questions in the CNBC debate, though relentlessly tough, were easily the most substantive of the debates so far. And the problem for Republicans is that substantive questions about their policy proposals end up sounding like hostile attacks — but that's because the policy proposals are ridiculous, not because the questions are actually unfair.

      'The Republican primary has thus far been a festival of outlandish policy. The candidates seem to be competing to craft the tax plan that gives the largest tax cut to the rich while blowing the biggest hole in the deficit (a competition that, as of tonight, Ted Cruz appears to be winning). And the problem is when you ask about those plans, simply stating the facts of the policies sounds like you're leveling a devastating attack.

      'Take the question to Trump. He wasn't asked if he was a comic book villain. He was asked why his policies sound like "a comic book version of a presidential campaign." And the question was specific. Moderator John Harwood asked, "Mr. Trump, you have done very well in this campaign so far by promising to build another wall and make another country pay for it. Send 11 million people out of the country. Cut taxes $10 trillion without increasing the deficit."

      Trump declined to explain how he could cut taxes by $10 trillion without increasing the deficit. Instead, he appealed to another CNBC personality for support. "Larry Kudlow, who sits on your panel, who's a great guy, came out the other day and said, 'I love Trump's tax plan.'"

      As for the wall, Trump didn't get very specific there, either. "A politician cannot get them to pay. I can." That is ... not an answer.'

    8. Here's the genius, Ted Cruz, whining like a petulant child:

      "And Carl, I'm not finished yet. The contrast with the Democratic debate, where every thought and question from the media was, which of you is more handsome and why?" Cruz asked and then paused to cough.

      First of all, why would he attack the CNBC moderators for the questions asked at the Democratic debate by CNN moderators?

      Second, his characterization of the questions asked at the Democratic debate is completely fraudulent. Show us one single question asked of the Democratic candidates that would support Cruz's ludicrous accusation. You can't, cause it isn't true.

      Unfortunately, republicans are embarrassed at the stark difference between the adults on the stage at the Democratic debate and the clown car performance at the republicans'.

      So now they demand Affirmative Action for Republicans. They want their lies and preposterous proposals to be treated equally to the sound thoughtful policies proposed by the Democrats. Wingnut welfare. Our climate denial should be treated just as respectfully as the scientifically based global warming facts.

      So now we hear that all the candidates are getting together to change the debates. Trumps wants only republicans asking questions. The other campaigns are all jumping on board.

      Keep it up guys, I'm looking forward to a Democratic landslide next November.

      Dr. Ben Carsen - the Wall Street Journal has cataloged Carson’s relationship with Mannatech in detail, and you can watch a video of him endorsing the company's products right here: Mannatech has faced scrutiny over its claims that its vitamins could cure everything from autism to cancer, and it paid $7 million to settle deceptive advertising charges brought by the Texas attorney general.

    10. Mike L. "Vox's analysis is spot on. Trump's campaign is a joke."

      I agree with you, Mike, but it's bias for CNBC to say so during the debate. IMHO most of these campaigns are a joke. Suppose the moderator of the Dem debate had asked Hillary why she was conducting a comic book version of a presidential campaign. I don't think you'd consider that to be good, professional questioning.

      mm: First of all, why would he attack the CNBC moderators for the questions asked at the Democratic debate by CNN moderators?

      mm, don't you know the answer? Republicans view the mainstream media as united against them. In that view, CNN and CNBC are part of the same anti-Republican group. Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit) popularized this view, calling the media "Democratic operatives with bylines." Rubio expressed this view in the debate, saying, "Democrats have the ultimate Super PAC. It's called the mainstream media."

      The fact that the media really are anti-Republican was demonstrated by the JournoList conspiracy, and the fact that none of the participants got fired.

    13. AC/MA -- George Bush's intelligence is one example that comes to mind. Bush not only graduated from Yale, but he successfully completed a prestigeous MBA degree at Harvard. Overall, he was a successful businessman. His oil-related company failed, but as Managing Partner of the Texas Rangers, the team was fabulously profitable. As a politician in Texas, he defeated a very strong, capable candidate for Governor -- Ann Richards. Yet the media portrayed his as dumb, over and over.

      OTOH Al Gore's academic record was inferior to Bush's. He did graduate from Harvard. Like Bush, he was a mediocre college student. But, after college, Gore flunked out as a journalism graduate student and as a graduate Theology student at a school less prestigeous than Harvard. Yet, the media always treated Gore as highly intelligent.

      Before the attack - Libyan security officials are outside of the TMF

      09:42PM DS personnel alert the CIA Annex and U.S. Embassy in Tripoli of the attack. State Diplomatic Security (DS) personnel and local guard force run across the TMF compound. The Libyan security officials depart. Three DS officers are in the Threat Operations Center (TOC). Attackers appear at the front gate.

      "Various witnesses and senior military officials serving in the Obama Administration testified to this Committee, the House Armed Services Committee, and the Senate Armed Services Committee that they knew from the moment the attacks began that the attacks were deliberate terrorist acts against U.S. interests. No witness has reported believing at any point that the attacks were anything but terrorist
      acts."

      "This timeline was developed from the totality of evidence compiled by HPSCI throughout the course of the investigation,including surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) video footage; FBI intelligence reports; CIA cables; and email traffic. The timeline is also largely corroborated by witnesses' personal recollections. Some of the details of the precise timing that night varied among eyewitnesses, which is expected when witnesses rely on their recollections of a chaotic event.

    4. cicero, Clinton has undoubtedly lied from time to time, as we all have. (so there's something else you're wrong about. the list is growing.) but you still haven't shown that she lied about Benghazi. and you'll never admit you don't have the goods, because you're too invested in your narrative at this point. by the way, if Clinton's dishonesty is such a point of moral outrage for you, then if you're going to be intellectually and morally consistent, you would show just as much outrage over the dishonesty that constantly spews forth from the Republicans:

    This liberal has, and it isn't even hard to do. I've offered to buy all those useless IOUs (AKA US treasury Notes) for 2 cents on the dollar going back to 2005, when W started this fairytale. Not one of the owners of those worthless IOUs has taken me up on a deal which will give them real US currency in exchange for something worthless. Do you know why? Because that hoary old tale is a lie, and I show it's a lie every time I make my offer.
    BTW, conservatives HATE when you agree with them. More liberals should try it.
    Conservatives want prayer in school? Good, tell 'em you agree and their grandkids can start reciting daily prayers to Allah on Monday morning.
    Conservatives want smaller government? Good, the government can stop enforcing contracts. That'll make the government smaller.
    Conservatives want the government to stop free handouts to layabouts? Great, government subsidies to fossil fuel companies ends today.

    It's easy. All you have to do is take Conservatives at their word. Within seconds they'll stop believing everything they profess to.

  11. 5 years ago I had warts, I was treated with some liquid applied to the warts they continued to grow and spread... The next 2 doctors did laser surgery to remove them. 1 year after the surgery, they grew back close to where the 1st ones were' so I was finally told it was hpv. I have had it for very long time, I contract it from my cheated boyfriend and I found out he was also infected and I end up the relationship between us. the warts was so embarrasses because it started spreading all over I have be dealing with this things for very long time the last treatment I take was About 2 years ago I applied natural treatment from Dr onokun herbal cure, a week after applying the treatment all the warts was gone. it's now 2 years and some months I don't have single wart or any symptoms of hpv. wow"" it's great, Dr onokun has finally cured me.
