This report is erroneous. No pardons were ever issued. Obama got it wrong last night, and so have you by following him without basic fact-checking first.

The sentences were commuted; a vast difference.

45" on Bosnia, weatherman, Wright, and 'bitter'! What a shame. Just because these 'seeds' have been planted in people's minds, doesn't mean that ABC should have nourished them in the debate. I expected better from George and Charlie...and ABC. In the final debate the
ISSUES should have been at the forefront.

Former President Bill Clinton is not running for President.

So that has no bearing on Hillary.

I don't know about your guys, but many times I do not see eye to eye with my husband.

That would be like saying Michelle Obama did not want Obama running for president, so he should not be elected, for that reason.

i told my wife that abc already took a story from sean hannity of fix news to use after the debate about ayres. are you kidding me the only question you did not ask was obama a muslim---ABC SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES!!! GEORGE WAS IN THE CLINTON WHITE HOUSE HE SHOULD HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE DEBATE!! 50 MINUTES OF INTERNET GOSSIP IN A PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE--ONLY ONE QUESTION ON FOREIGN POLICY AND A BUNCH OF GOTCHA QUESTIONS--WHEN IS THE MEDIA GOING TO COVER THE ISSUES AND STOP TRYING TO GET RATINGS FOR THE CORPORATION WHO OWNS THEM? TO ASK ABOUT A FLAG PIN? WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK CLINTON WHERE HER PIN WAS--OR WHY DIDN'T YOU BOTH HAVE ONE ON--I MEAN COME ON--WHY DON'T YOU DO A STORY ABOUT HOW OBAMA HAS BEEN IN PUBLIC SERVICE FOR 20 YEARS? ALSO TO ASK IF REV WRIGHT IS PATRIOT AFTER REV WRIGHT GAVE UP A COLLEGE DEFERMENT AND JOINED THE MARINES AND LATER RECEIVE 3 PRESIDENTIAL ACCOMIDATIONS!! WHY DON'T YOU DO A STORY ABOUT REV WRIGHT AND BE FAIR ABOUT THE GOOD AND BAD? YOU TWO SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES HOPEFULLY THE VOTERS ARE SMARTER THAN YOU TWO ELITISTS!!!!!!

I can't tell you how disappointed I was in last nights debate. Since when is ABC News (my news outlet of choice) a mouthpiece for FOX?
I tuned in to hear about the ISSUES this country is facing. I am smart enough to know that neither candidate is always going to be on their game and they will make gaffes. I do not think that bringing up someone from the 1960's and blaming Obama for his actions (when Obama was a kid) was thought provoking. I have never been disappointed in Charlie Gibson or George Stephanopolis until last night.

Stupid issue. Stupid question. I paid over $60.00 to fill up my car today. They spent 1 minute on that problem, but over 5 on this non-issue. Do you think people losing their homes care about Obama serving on a board with someone or who Bill pardoned? The banality of some of the questions was amazing.

Weather Underground was a COINTELPRO operation to discredit anti-war activists with false-flag acts of violence. So of course some were "pardoned".

The debate: a shameful display, embarrassing really, by the moderators. I wanted to see a substantive debate and the moderators turned it into a superficial, meaningless charade.

ABC is simply trying to clean up their mess from last night. Too late. I'm switching to NBC.

Thumbs way down on the way ABC handled this debate. Your organization continues the perpetuation of finger pointing and avoids the real issues this country needs to hear and talk about. This kind of broadcasting won't be winning you any ratings. Next time you host a debate ABC, I for one, won't be watching.

MAYBE OBAMA IS CORRECT:

1. Maybe words DON'T matter.
2. Maybe friends DON'T matter.
3. Maybe past actions DON'T matter.
4. Maybe past associations DON'T matter.
5. Maybe experience DOESN'T matter.

I guess that leaves us with the question . . . just what DOES matter according to Obama?
Slick stump speeches? Psychotically-obsessed fans? Cult-like followers?

Don't the democrats get it - they will get pegged as hippie, tax-and-spend, liberal, tree-hugging radicals no matter what? Even if they aren't this is how the game works. So why play into it - it is silly for them to let Republicans define who is a patriot and who is an American.

The 'Rovian' strategy (I think it is a bit much to give him complete credit for this) is to attack the opponent at what the opponent perceives as their strength. The democrats, I think, get this and plan on doing the same to Senator McCain.

Dear ABC,

What a stupid, shallow debate. With the problems afflicting the world today, the best you can come up with are questions regard flag pins and whether somebody's former pastor loves America.

You should all feel a deep sense of shame.

Both these women were convicted, and served time. Neither Ayers or Dohrn served time. I have not researched this, but I think I remember that there was talk in Chicago newspapers at the time that Ayers and Dohrn parents had somehow paid off somebody (Chicago politics). Both Ayers and Dohrn are from well-off families.

Hillary neither served on a board with people from that radical group (Obama has) nor did she pardon them(President Clinton did). Just where is SHE involved with them? Nowhere. You are reaching to try to make her on par with Obama's ties to them.

ABC NEWS: I'M A HUGE CHARLIE GIBSON FAN BUT THAT DEBATE WAS NOT A DEBATE. IT WAS OBVIOUSLY HOSTILE TOWARDS OBAMA AND MOST OF THE TIME WAS SPENT ON STUPID ISSUES WITH NO DEBATING, JUST ATTACKS ON OBAMA. IT'S THE ABSOLUTE WORST DEBATE OF THE 21! SHAME ON YOU!

Hillary Clinton also has ties to Communists. She worked for Treuhaft, Walker, and Bernstein in Oakland. They represented radicals such as the Black Panthers. Treuhaft was a member of the Communist Party.

Thanks for mentioning Willam C. Ayers - finally! It only took 2 years for ABCNews to wake up!

Thank you.

George S. used to work for Clintons!!!!

We need a new loyalty oath question: "Do you now know, or have you ever known a member of the Weather Underground?"
