re: #261 krypto

The claim being hatched and circulated in the Rightwing Blog Space now is that Candy Crowley now says that Romney was right in his claims about what Obama said and didn’t say in the Rose Garden about Benghazi.

Does anyone have the inside story on this? I’m just wondering, since often righties misquote and spin and none of those claims that I read gave a source or an exact quote.

I see this came from an interview of Candy Crowley by Anderson Cooper after the debate.

As I suspected, the claim that Crowley retracted her comment is untrue. There is a video of the interview right on CNN, and she starts off by confirming that Obama did indeed refer to it as terrorism - she does not retract that. But then she goes on to offer excuses for Romney, to make it the usual half-right thing (which she intended at the time by her “but it took two weeks to sink in” or something like that) — and apparently rightwingers listening to that hear only the part of it they want to hear.

I see someone posted the actual transcript, which clearly does show Obama saying what he and Crowley said he said.
