"... answering questions before they are asked." -- Candy Crowley, CNN

[Bozita]

She was referring to McCain.

We didn't all imagine it, folks.

1. Glad someone in the M$M noticed it n/t

[livetohike]

2. He jumped the gun a couple of times and I think Rick Warren

was trying to cover it up. I can't think of any examples right now though.

5. Supreme Court & Education/Teacher Pay/Vouchers

3. Well well well

4. For once, I admire Crowley ... she has it right

Wonder if Mr. and Mrs. John King (Bomb Bomb's
biggest cheerleaders) will drown her out on
CNN.

6. Thank you Candy!

[Drunken Irishman]

7. Except the way she phrased it HELPED McCain.

He was direct and "seemed to answer the questions before they were asked..."

Meaning, he was on his game.

8. so good he was psychic!

[miles 2 go]

10. well, u know McLame is KNOWn for his quick thinking

and the way that he can answer questions quickly and accurately. U know they always say "one thing about McLame is that he can really think on his feet"

as in

"this little piggy went to market, this little piggy...

I don't really have to add the sarcasm icon in here do I?

[mzmolly]

9. Sure seemed like he was prepared

for the specific questions being asked.

[MetaTrope]

13. So no swapping his answers around in the editing room THIS time?

[mzmolly]

14. LOL

That is a consideration I have not spent time on, admittedly.

11. What the hell are you people talking about?

I have no idea what this whole thread is about.

[Usrename]

15. You need to learn to keep up.

There's no time to go back for stragglers...


:shrug:

[woo me with science]

16. The latest conspiracy theory,

because hyperventilating is so much more rewarding than focusing on the real issues.

[biscotti]

12. He popped off answers

so quickly the preacher even mentioned that. Guess that enclosure wasn't so secure.

[Psyop Samurai]

17. No, you didn't imagine it...

...but you DID imagine it if anything appeared the least bit suspect.

This is a common tactic of mindwar.

Report what in any real-life instance would raise serious questions, while maintaining the facade of utter normalcy.

The dissonance between what would be a rational response and the mindless facade that is propagated is meant to leave one feeling disoriented and isolated amid a presumed consensus, such consensus generally having been established in advance and tending always in a certain direction.

The severity of these attacks vary in proportion to the degree of dissonance between the rational and the programmed facade. At one end of the scale, we have the day to day "news" distortions, at the other end we have the Secretary of Defense playing Florence Nightingale at the Pentagon on 9/11.

In all cases and at all times, no matter how blatant the assault on reason, the subtext is "everything is normal, go back to sleep". This demonic lullaby is accompanied by an implicit threat: "you don't want to end up like those crazy people, do you?".

18. my so thinks they gave him smart pills

that last for about an hour and quicken the synapsis. not necessarily speed, but something.
