| Conservatives expressed irritation during Thursday night’s debate with moderator Martha Raddatz, who they said let Vice President Biden repeatedly break into Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan’s answers. ABC reporter Raddatz didn’t interject to allow Ryan to finish, some conservatives noted on Twitter. National Review reporter Katrina Trinko said Raddatz was being “walked over” by Biden.

She interrupted Ryan almost as much as Biden did. She should be ashamed to call herself a moderator.

She should have been wearing a 0dumbo/Bite Me campaign button. Not only did she allow and almost encourage the interruptions, she aggressively pushed Ryan, asking repeatably for specifics. Not once did she ask Joe the same, nor did she ask him not to interrupt. I thought Ryan did a fantastic job of not showing any anger or frustration.

I read somewhere that there were questions about whether she should be Moderator. I think it was that Obama was a guest at her wedding (now divorced) to one of his supporters?
But the commission on presidential debates kept her on. She was a major mistake.. and of course Joe B. always has been.

Isn't it obvious that both Biden's and Raddatz's performance at this revenge meeting were planned and scripted? It was predictable. Ryan proved himself worthy of much more respect than either Biden or Radish.

I've said it a million times, I'll say it once more: why do Republicans continue to fall for the liberal media moderated debates? They are like Charlie Brown trusting that Lucy is going to actually hold the football and allow him to kick it--we all know what the result is going to be. Yet, every 4 years it is the same thing!
Why not demand one of the following:
-no moderator: candidates debate just like in the old days of Lincoln/Douglas
-no media as moderators: heck bring in a referee from the NFL--at least they know how to call a foul and pay attention to the rules and the clock
-mixed, non-media panel of questioners and a time/rule keeper: ask question but no interruptions or follow-up questions

Dem groupie Raddatz was the sorriest excuse for a moderator I have seen in fifty years of watching televised debates (yes, I watched Nixon/Kennedy.) As others have commented above, she continuously and blatantly tried to help Biden by interrupting Paul Ryan. Looks like she, Biden, and the rest of the crew are scared spitless by Ryan's message.

She had a contentious tone throughout when dealing with Ryan, except when she wallowed in soppiness like the abortion question. At least her appearance matched her performance.

She did just as bad as Biden...the game between the two Libs was to keep Ryan from making any points.
I'm surprised Ryan didn't call both of them on it!

I thought that chalked in "Kick Me Here" on the back of her dress was properly placed.
Football refs, #5? They'd have to clear the shelves of Capsaicin to ready his arm for the next "real game" after throwing the flag so many times!

She allowed Biden time and time again opportunity to talk over Ryan, who had the floor, and then had the gall to say he was worried he wouldn't get time to respond! That girl pal of Obama who was the moderator was horrible. I agree with Michelle Malkin that the first question Ryan should have asked her was how her sisters wedding went that Obama attended.

Any moderator who allow 82 interruptions from one participant is obviousy on the same side of things as the participant.

When, oh when, will the Republicans draw the line and tell the "Debate Commission" they will no longer allow them to stack the deck against our candidates with Democrat "moderators"? Imagine last night's debate moderated by Bill Bennett or Glenn Beck... now that would be fun and probably a whole lot more balanced.

It served its purpose if it opened the eyes of the nation.
Obama and Biden are both characters, not true patriots! They showed US what they are made of! They are not people who want to get along and serve this country, only to get all they can and not even consider what others are going through. Too many parties and not enough meetings of minds that would bring US together for the betterment of all!

What I saw last night was that Ryan let Biden steamroll Ryan. To say otherwise is to accept belief that Raddatz was in any way going to be fair and impartial. Today's criticisms sound kind of hollow since Ryan knew going in, or at least should have know since the rest of the free world knew, that he would have to be a little more tenacious in getting his points across.

Biden was so out of control that about all Raddatz could have done would be to call the bouncers. Joe would have understood. He has been thrown out of so many bars. Most have barred him from ever returning.

Oh, but she asked Ryan the burning question that voters want to know--Should we apologize for our soldiers urinating on the koran?
yeah...don't ask about the awful economy, 20-million people out of work, $5 gas in CA, or anything that would make Obama look bad

Im glad to hear that any gains Crazy Joe got at debate were washed out by his indecency. But this Radditz pizzed me off. There was at least one - two moments where CRazy had finished his lame reply and Radditz asked a follow up and you could see abject fear in Crazys eyes as her qwuestion unraveled and then as she finsished she said please rpely to that Cong Ryan. ahnd Crazy breathed a sigh of relief. Gimme a break. The issue of why RNC allows far left moderators has to be discussed and dealt with. This is insane. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/261623-conservatives-say-debate-moderator-letting-biden-steamroll-ryan

Los Angeles County coroner´s officials said Wednesday the body recovered from a fiery, single-car crash in Hollywood that apparently killed journalist Michael Hastings will likely undergo an autopsy Thursday. But an official cause of death and closure of the case is not likely for four to six weeks or perhaps longer, they said. Coroner´s officials are hoping the results will answer why the accident happened. Officials were attempting to match dental records to help make a positive identification. The death of the 33-year-old Hastings was announced Tuesday by his employer, BuzzFeed,

Meet the Women for Weiner. The former congressman, who apologized for the lewd picture scandal that ended his House career before launching a bid last month for New York City mayor, is holding a fundraiser hosted by “Women for Anthony” next week at the Manhattan home of an education activist and philanthropist. The host committee is led by his wife, Huma Abedin, and includes her sister, Heba; Rory Tahari, wife of designer Elie Tahari; and Cheryl Saban, the wife of California-based mega-donor Haim Saban, who funded a short film lauding Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the State Department

Guillory talks about how the welfare state is only a mechanism for politicians to control the black community. Video here. Transcript below. Perfect. “Hello, my name is Elbert Lee Guillory, and I’m the senator for the twenty-fourth district right here in beautiful Louisiana. Recently I made what many are referring to as a ‘bold decision’ to switch my party affiliation

News reports from the final debate between Democrat Ed Markey and Republican Gabriel Gomez conclude that Gomez, a first-time candidate and self-styled "new kind of Republican," delivered a strong performance. With just days left in the campaign before the June 25 special election for Senate, Gomez has trailed Markey, a 37-year veteran of the House, in every single poll. Markey currently leads by average of more than 9 points. But in the debate Tuesday night, Gomez hit Markey hard on the Democrat´s long Washington tenure, a running theme in the Republican´s campaign.

The Obama administration has reportedly tried to enlist the NBA in helping it sell Obamacare to the American people. It’s unclear whether a potential marketing partnership would put big-name players at the center of ad campaigns or if it would be as simple as putting the NBA trademark on marketing materials, Politico first reported today. People can begin signing up for Obamacare in October, with the new insurance coverage kicking in next year. Many have speculated that the enrollment campaigns would benefit from a celebrity endorsement or partnership with a major sports league.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
