Support NeoGAF

[RustyNails]

Watching GAF live-posting is much more fun than watching those 4 wizard of oz characters debate.

 

[thekad]

Newt is like, "Lol, child," and Mitt seems like he's just firing every bullet in the chamber going SEE SEE SEE

whatevs, agree to disagree

Nah, Mitt's landing blows.

 

[saelz8]

Mitt is doing strong so far.

Ripping Newt.

 

[RoninChaos]

Thank you!

I like it when people get mad about negative generalizations about their deal and defend that with a positive generalization about their deal.

Y'all are racist!

We'all are never racist!

When people say "the south is racist" they don't mean "every individual in the South is racist" they mean "Racism is more prevalent or obvious in the South."

I don't know what the actual "racism stats" are, but that's what the generalization is about.

I get that it feels bad man to have it inferred that a state or region is racist because some scumbag hillbilly two towns over is racist, but it's just as absurd to deny it wholesale instead of talking about the issue.

It also shouldn't gloss over the fact that the North has plenty of issues in this regard too.

*tips hat*

There is certainly an older, dying, generation of southerners who are racist. No one should deny that.

 

[J.ceaz]

Is there a crowd for this debate? The contrast between this and SC is jarring.

 

[Y2Kev]

LOL at smacking down Santorum, awesome

 

[Byakuya769]

Damn, Brian Williams hits hard.

18 points, Santorum.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Santorums argument is getting kind of tired now. You lost son.

 

[Arde5643]

No cheering and no heckling - debate sounds better so far. With an even better moderator.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Mitt is doing a good job holding Gingrich down. I don't think his attacks are effective, but they're forcing Gingrich off his game - he's unable to go against the media, Obama, grand statements, etc

 

[RustyNails]

There are younger ones too. I have anecdotal experience, but experience nonetheless.

 

[SolKane]

Since they're at a university, will they be discussing the rising cost of college education and student loan debt?

 

[Invisible_Insane]

Thank you, Williams, for calling him out for losing in PA by 18%.

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

It's Florida. Old geezers are probably already asleep.

 

[OddSpoon]

Ron Paul surge.

 

[AlteredBeast]

Yeah, this crowd is silent. It is crazy. Are we sure they aren't in an empty room?

 

[Rentahamster]

That's not what "begs the question" means, Brian Williams.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Mitt will lead FL after this debate, I can feel the Mittmentum

 

[SolKane]

Yeah, this crowd is silent. It is crazy. Are we sure they aren't in an empty room?

That would actually be preferable to having an audience.

 

[Tamanon]

As a North Carolina resident, I can tell you that racism is alive and well in the younger ranks too.

 

[Invisible_Insane]

That's not what "begs the question" means, Brian Williams.

I feel you, man, but people are never going to get that right.

 

[Brinbe]

NBC's great HD is really showing how horrifying these guys look... and bravo to Paul for telling it how it is, regarding delegates

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

I feel you, man, but people are never going to get that right.

Yeah we've lost that phrase forever.

 

[OddSpoon]

Yeah, this crowd is silent. It is crazy. Are we sure they aren't in an empty room?

Yeah, not as many vocal racists as in SC. You can tell by no shouts to Newt's idiotic answers.

 

[Raine]

Paul calling Newt out.

 

[AlteredBeast]

Yeah, not as many vocal racists as in SC. You can tell by no shouts to Newt's idiotic answers.

truth.

 

[Man w/ Glasses]

Goddam third party candidate question goes to Paul.

 

[Measley]

Does anyone disagree here that there is a stereotype that White Conservatives are considered, or more likely to be racist?

If only it were just a stereotype...

 

[Redux]

Ron Paul vs Obama debates are going to be boss.

This needs to happen.

President Obama will pick apart these other clowns.

 

[Jackson50]

Paul is validating Mitt's attacks. That will magnify them considerably.

 

[sdijoseph]

Wow, this is the first time I have seen a debate in HD. Ron Paul looks very, very old. I can see why he is getting out of politics now.

 

[Invisible_Insane]

Namechecking Jesse Helms? Jesus H. Christ.

 

[Rentahamster]

I feel you, man, but people are never going to get that right.

Yeah, it's used wrong so much nowadays, it's pretty much become the standard usage. The problem is, there really is no reason for being . . . no hole in the English language that it's filling.

 

[Arde5643]

Oh god, Mitt is still so weak against tax related questions - still so dodgy about it.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Florida. The second level in hell.

 

[windowlurker]

Would Mitt or Newt take Paul as VP?

Would Paul accept? Don't see how, isn't his son going to be some big time candidate in a decade (when the shit hits the fan)?

 

[Downhome]

What channel is this actually airing on? I'm not finding it on Charter anywhere.

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

NBC

 

[KingK]

Yeah, this crowd is silent. It is crazy. Are we sure they aren't in an empty room?

Pretty sure Brian Williams said that they've instructed the crowd to remain silent.

 

[Brinbe]

Mitt =\

Another dodge!

 

[thekad]

Mitt's tax returns are going to be an issue...

 

[kehs]

Just shut up dude. jeez.

 

[Raine]

Lol. Ok Mitt. So thanks for confirming how little you pay.

 

[Man w/ Glasses]

He can't dodge fast enough.

 

[Downhome]

NBC

Ugh, thanks. It wasn't showing up in my guide.

 

[Tamanon]

Would Mitt or Newt take Paul as VP?

Would Paul accept? Don't see how, isn't his son going to be some big time candidate in a decade (when the shit hits the fan)?

I can't imagine he'd accept a VP slot, or it'd be offered.

 

[OddSpoon]

Wow, this is the first time I have seen a debate in HD. Ron Paul looks very, very old. I can see why he is getting out of politics now.

Now you can view Mitt's fake tan and Newt's well.. even non-hd we get the load of that giant head.

 

[The Librarian]

Mitt Romney pays a lot of taxes?

 

[quaere]

What channel is this actually airing on? I'm not finding it on Charter anywhere.

Looks like some west coast affiliates are holding it until 9PM PST.
