Oh my.
I knew in advance the Obamaite primitives wouldn't like the debate moderators, whoever they turned out to be, but it seems to me the issue's going to be pretty much moot by the time the debates start, Barry "Goldwater" Obama sinking by then. Even with Fidel Castro as moderator won't help.

Good News! ABC's Stephanopoulos and Gibson will not be any of the Presidential Debate Moderators
The Commission on Presidential Debates reveals who will ask the questions at this fall’s presidential debates:
Sept. 26: Jim Lehrer
Oct. 7: Tom Brokaw
Oct. 15: Bob Schieffer
Vice presidential debate Oct. 2: Gwen Ifill

Here follows, ladies and gentlemen, yet even more proof that the Obamaite primitives, and primitives in general, have no footing in reality, absolutely none:

1. Can we just have Jim Leherer instead?
Brokaw and Schieffer are right-wing apologists and big time M$M presstitutes...

2. "Bob Schieffer?" THE "Bob Schieffer" of "Obama campaign is denigrating McCain's service record"
...but doesn't offer any examples? THAT "Bob Schieffer?"

12. And the same Bob Schieffer who didn't ask an energy or environmental question in the domestic debate - knowing Kerry had a visionary, blockbuster answer for it that he included in every stump speech.

3. Oh boy, Bob Schieffer. So he can ask Obama why he keeps "denigrating" McDouche's military service. Yeah, that'll be a fair fight.

5. They were unmasked as McCain surrogates in the mold of Katie Couric. They have no credibility whatsoever as journalists.

6. So in other words, one actual debate and three right wing jokes?
Lehrer is the only one on this list with any credibility.

8. Bob Schieffer fails basic English comprehension
And Tom Brokaw is at about the same level.
Well, for illiterates, they sure as Hell make a lot of money.
That's more than what one can say for the Obamaite primitives, and the primitives in general.

14. I thought that the moderators would be neutral ...
9/26 - Rush Limbaugh
10/7 - Bill O'Reilly
10/15 - Ann Coulter
Boy, the Repukes are going to be pissed ...

16. I hope TweedleDee and TweedleDum get the message loud and clear!

Those fools wouldn't be happy unless the panel consisted of the crew at Air America.
I think conservatives are different, at least I am. I would no more want Rush Limbaugh to be a moderator than I would that stupid C-word Randi Rhodes. Someone who has been, or shown to be, as unbiased as possible when giving the news or moderating would be the mold. Brit Hume would be find. Juan Williams would do (No, he's not unbiased, but he IS open-minded enough to listen to both sides).

Can't have Katie Couric moderate.......She'd be creaming in her jeans and moaning and groaning so much from the orgasmic effects of being in the mear presence of t "The Great One", she'd be useless..........I mean more useless than she is now.
-
It doesn't matter who moderates these "debates". The prospect of any debate is terrifying to Obama Hussein and his crowd. In all likelihood, debating will mean the end for their candidate. Their man cannot "wing it".
-
how about just plain old Americans asking the candidates questions off the cuff? McCain tried hard to do that in his town hall idea - Obama ran from that.
maybe moderators help the process along, unless Al Gore is wandering around the stage, but otherwise, I'd like to see Americans in every state get a chance to ask both parties some questions we KNOW the moderators would never allow.

Tom Brokaw is a right-wing fascist shill? :bs: :whatever:

They want us to believe The Perky Katie Couric is in the Republican's back pocket.

The ideal moderators for the debates in the DUmmies mind are:
Keith Olbermann
Arianna Huffington
Markos Moulitsas
Bill Moyers

Nah, those are too centrist to please the Obamaite primitives.
They'd have to be Charles Manson, Fidel Castro, Robert Mugabe, and Mumia, to please the Obamaite primitives.

I got a thousand dollars that say everyone of them is a registered democrat.

Though I don't know for sure, I suspect the debate questions are determined (more or less) by committee before the debate and the moderator basically controls the flow, and helps to insure all the challengers stay within allowed time.
To expect that any of the moderators are going to unbalance the playing field by soft-ballinq questions to McCain is paranoia.
I think what the primitives want are moderators that are so left that they are guaranteed to ride McCain hard, and to perhaps leak the questions to team Obama ahead of time.
