in the now famous interjection by Candy Crowley......Right at 1:58 in this clip, Obumble summons Candy to "Get the transcript" which she has in her fat little hand and she starts waiving it at Romney.
Why is no one questioning this other than just passing comments??
This to me is the absolute smoking gun and shouldn't be allowed to pass one more moment without having a few answers from both CNN and Obumble (as if the admin would answer)
That particular video clip doesn't show her waving a transcript immediately following Obama's request. It doesn't have a camera on her at all. I actually thought Obama was directing his comment at Romney.
Did another network show the moderator waving something at Romney? If so, I'd sure like to know why she had that transcript copy in front of her during the debate.
Edit: After watching the video again, I'm certain Obama took his eyes off Romney and looked somewhere else (at the moderator?) as he said "Get the transcript". He also had a smug tone in his voice like it was a set-up. Hard for me to credit him with thinking that far ahead though.

Why on earth should she have a copy of the transcript at her fingertips?
They were tag teaming Mitt....as expected by most here.
The GOP needs to grow a pair and exercise better advance QA over the debate process. The parties should have the ability to call time-out, or terminate the debate on the spot if rules are violated without immediate correction. Without the implied threat of this, the MSM will continue to pizz on the GOP.

She did. See the below link. At approximately 1:30 is when the set-up begins. You can see right before Obama says "Get the transcript", she moves her hand towards the middle of the podium and almost picks up a paper before waiting as though she were anticipating it. Then, after Obama says "Get the transcript" she picks up the paper to show it and says that Obama did in fact call it an act of terror.
It is important to note that Crowley completely backtracked after the debate, said Romney was right, she was wrong, and was wrong for saying Obama was right (indicating he was wrong as well).
I can't get the video to show up here even using the YouTube button, so if someone knows how, feel free. This video shows Crowley holding the transcript and Obama saying "Get the transcript".

I agree. The whole thing looks like a set-up requiring cooperation from the moderator. I can't believe that the moderator had transcripts of all Obama and Romney speeches in front of her so she could immediately verify any quote from the past.
Crowley had multiple pieces of paper with her. You can't conclude that any one of them was the transcript.
Secondly, she didn't backtrack on anything.
"on Starting Point this morning, Crowley debunked this right-wing media narrative, explaining: 'I didn't say anything different off the air than I said" at the debate.'" http://mediamatters.org/blog/2012/10...wley-wa/190691
What Crowley said about Romney being right was his point about the delay in the narrative changing from riots to a planned attack; this is information that the intelligence community gave to the WH and Congress, and did not change until they knew more facts. But Crowley said this during the debate. It was not after the fact. During the debate, she said both men were right: Obama did characterize the event as an attack of terror (which Romney, incorrectly, said he had not), and Romney was right about the delay as more information came out.
Axelrod and his minions likely have had a Benghazi mitigation team in place for several weeks now. All they had to do was forward a video clip and the "attacks of terror" talking point in advance to Candace with some urgent memo label and she was in the bag. Willing or unwillingly she was in on the setup.
Please show me the other times that night when she held up anything in her hand while talking. I missed them all.
She held up papers at other points during the debate. Just because she had papers while talking doesn't mean that those were the transcripts. In fact, if you watch her post-debate interviews, she indicated she was going on what she remembered about the Rose Garden speech; she didn't say she had the transcript right in her hand that would have proved Romney wrong. She wanted to move the debate on past this issue; she could have been holding the paper with information about people asking questions that night.
