Third 2012 US Presidential Debate Tonight: Discuss Here

Tonight marks the third and final U.S. Presidential debate in the lead-up to the election on November 6th. It starts at 9PM ET (6PM PT, 0100 UTC), and it's taking place at Lynn University in Florida. The topic this time around is foreign policy, including discussions of Afghanistan and Pakistan, Israel and Iran, America's role in the world, "The Changing Middle East and the New Face of Terrorism," and China's rise as a superpower. You can livestream it from the usual suspects: (C-SPAN, ABC, PBS, CNN). Politifact has posted an article fact-checking statements the candidates have made about foreign policy. Both they and Factcheck.org will be using Twitter to verify statements in real time. This presidential debate again excludes the smaller U.S. political parties. If you're interested in hearing other voices, you'll be able to see candidates from the Libertarian, Green, Constitution, and Justice parties in a debate tomorrow with Larry King moderating. As before, we're doing a separate post for the debate in the hopes that political talk won't clutter other stories tonight. Tell us what you think as the debate unfolds. For live conversation, remember: context helps. And, as reader Ryanator2209 keeps pointing out, you can entertain yourself by playing Logical Fallacy Bingo while you watch.

You've disregarded human history if you think that "socialism" and "authoritarian" are mutually exclusive.

Obama believes that YOUR possessions are for HIM to distribute. I'm not sure how much more socialist you can get.

Oh, and fascism... a linguistic trick to avoid the Godwin penalty. As defined by Mussolini himself, basically explains the Democrat Party dream in a nutshell.

And quoting Breitbart is like quoting Fox News.

Well then, you must think you have an easy target. Why don't you show they are wrong? Or isn't that going to work out for you?
