Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Wasn't it just a few weeks ago the wingnuts were calling Dems cowards for not appearing on FOX. "If they can't handle the debate questions, how are they going to handle the terrorists?" Well, the show is on the other foot now. From Romney
"I think the presidency ought to be held at a higher level than having to answer questions from a snowman," he said in an interview yesterday.
If they can't stand up to a snowman, how are they going to handle terrorists?
And here's Hugh Hewitt
The YouTube debate was a silly, and at times absurd exercise in giving air time to many idiots separated by an occasional responsible speaker, and the question selection by CNN demonstrated a huge left-wing bias which will inevitably appear in any subsequent YouTube debate organized by the MSM which is overwhelmingly staffed by the left.
So, any question that is asked that doesn't support the Republican view of the world or supports their issues is automatically liberally biased? I especially like this comment from a TPM reader:
One of the thoughts that occurred to me with regards to the Democratic Youtube debate was how weird the questions for the GOP candidates could potentially be. For the Democratic debates, most of the issues that are on the table are pretty mainstream, like healthcare and Iraq and poverty and global warming, and thus its pretty difficult for the standard rank-and-file member of the democratic base to ask them in an amusing viral format like Youtube and still come out as looking too bizarre (unless they happen to be a talking snowman). As far as issues like illegal immigration and "coercive interrogation techniques" go, how does one ask questions like this in a Youtube format in an amusing way? The differences between the GOP base and the political mainstream can seem less extreme when asked by someone like Wolf Blitzer, but if presented from the standard GOP rank-and-file member of the base, it seemed like a great way to show how unhinged the GOP has become on some of these issues. Personally, I'm surprised the GOP ever got close to agreeing to this format, and once the Democratic debate happened and showed the format in action, I didn't see how it could have been pulled off by the GOP.
Do Republicans not know the meaning of the word HYPOCRISY?
