Dear Sisters and Brothers for Hillary,
Let me call to Hillary’s attention to what is being said about her and Bill and Chelsea on one very nasty pro-Obama website I came across, http://www.matrix-evolutions.com. They are actually connecting up Bill’s Monica tryst with parental sexual abuse on Chelsea if you can believe it! Whether it is better not paid attention to or countered, I don’t know, but somebody who does know what the right response is should be made aware of this.
I hope this information helps.
Onward to victory,
Martha Turner

It is not reasonable that CNN would not know that Gen. Kerr is part of Mrs. Clinton's steering committee on gay rights. There simply were not that many questions asked that the vetting process would not have revealed this if it was done competently.
The policy Kerr protests was made by his own favored candidate, Mrs. Clinton, when she was co-President.
The Confederate Flag is correctly more a symbol of the Democrat Party, which is the Party of Lester Maddox, George Wallace, Bull Connor, the Dixiecrats, and pro-slavery. The Republican Party was founded to end slavery. Yet some self-righteous lib actually asks Republican Presidential hopefuls what it means to them as if they have some responsibility for it. The only place I know of where this flag flies as an official symbol of government today is South Carolina and it was put there by a Democrat Governor who went on to serve 40 years as a Democrat in the US Senate and a Democrat state legislature.
Libs ask "What's wrong with a retired gay General asking a question?" What's wrong is that (1) it was a "Have you stopped beating your dog?" question and (2) CNN claimed they were going to ask questions from undecideds that might vote in Republican primaries or for the Republican nominee in the general election. Kerr will vote for a Republican when pigs fly.
This "debate" was supposed to be a chance for potential Republican voters to sort out the Republican field. Instead it became a cheap, sideshow-like ambush where chicken-liberals took cheap shots a Republicans in general with questions that were in fact (false) accusations and shallow attempts to blame Republicans for racism, bigotry, and failed policies that were in fact perpetrated by Democrats. |
|
What the morons on the left don't understand (or ignore) is that this is a debate FOR Republicans to help Republicans determine who will be the Republican representative running for President in 2008. These are NOT general election debates.
DemoRats do not have ANY right to be involved in this process, because they get to choose who will be the standard bearer for the DemoRats.
Once again, the DemoRats show that they are like 5 year old children, stomping around and holding their breath until somebody will pay attention to them. |

is having amelt-down on her blog because one of the You-tube questioners (about 20 yrs. old, female) asked her question while wearing an Edwards T-shirt.
Ooo, that's SO not fair, like, was she, like, a girl-plant???? |

Don't you think the "Diamonds or Pearls" question is sort of pro forma? Asking Rudy's baseball preferences wasn't exactly a demand for string theory explanations. |

"Bush is not running this time."
Thank God. It's almost enough to make me born-again. |
|
If Bush did that, he out-smarted the left (MSM included) again. See, they may have been unwitting dupes when that happened(has it been proven by someone with real journalistic integrity?) They would never have played along.
CNN either knew and lied about this episode or they are lazy non fact-checking idiots. Either way, the tricks employed by the MSM don't work any more. CNN just gets more irrelevant, It's like kids running the old Wing-T against an NFL defense. Your side got caught, clobbered and now will come the "You did it too, you, you hypocrite's!!!
Liberal vampires wither and die in the light of truth. Crawl back to the caves that are the Daily-kooks, Huff-n-Puff post, Airhead (Central) America etc...
p.s.
Bush is not running this time. |
|
I'm so glad that the right wing
has never used the media to get a point across. These criticisms are coming from people like you all who didn't say a word when Bush organized his "Town Hall" meetings across the country by stacking them with phoney questions designed to make him look good and audiences who were loyal to the Right or just plain operatives.
There are so many hypocrites posting here - It's amazing to me that you suddenly are outraged.
The Bush "Town Hall" meetings were never publicized as staged, pre-written events, and the so-called "liberal media" networks that broadcast them pretended they were spontaneous, honest debates as well.
You guys just amaze me.

Ok, so I'm watching budbud throw out all of his gay agenda and all of his pointless points. First off, Europe has different standards because SERVICE IS REQUIRED THERE. As far as I know, service is VOLUNTARY here in the USA. If you are gay and you want to be openly gay, don't join the US military. If service was REQUIRED here in the USA, I figure they would have to change the policy to make room for the gay folks that would be FORCED to serve.
The truth is that there is no place for sex in the military at all. If two straight people are caught having sex on duty they should be kicked out just like two gays. Period. It's about the mission and defending the nation, not who you are bedding down with. My husband is in the military and I asked him how he would feel if he looked over while in the fox hole and saw two of his troops holding hands. He said that he would be ticked off, not because they are gay, but because they are DISTRACTED.
STOP TRYING TO MAKE THE USA EUROPE. We don't want to be Europe, that is why our people caught a boat and floated over here.
And stop whining. I am straight. How welcome do you think I would be if I held hands with my husband and went to the Folsom Street Fair in SF? I'll tell you how welcome. We would get spit on and called "breeders". And yes, it happened.
Some things just aren't welcome or needed in the military. Sex and gay sex is one of them. That is why we DON'T have co-ed facilities in the military. Now shut your piehole UNLESS YOU INTEND TO SERVE. Other than that, go to your damn parade and have fun. You own the whole city now.
As for the rest of this mess, this just proves which party is REALLY playing the dirty pool. |
|
The Republicans responsible for overseeing their debates are really dropping the ball. CNN must be completely barred from participation in the process because they are Democrats.
The Republicans should do another video debate, but this time with only Republican questioners. That way, *Republican* voters would have a better idea which *Republican* they should support for the position of *Republican* nominee. Questions of concern to Republican voters would be asked and addressed, without the disruptions of Hillary's tricksters or their dinosaur media enablers.
|
|
"Why are America's straight soldiers so terrified of words?" Lord, I can hear the whining. Stop being so infantile.
It's about unit cohesion. It's about the military not being some sort of laboratory for your social pathologies. The efficiency of our fighting forces will not be compromised because of the one soldier in a thousand whose feelings are hurt because he can't talk about his boyfriend. If that's a problem for him, then he needs to go home, where no one will care what he does behind close doors with one or more consenting adults.
It is not necessary for me to think it's "fair". All that is necessary is that it be right. And that argument is already settled.
And all those European armies with gays? Like anyone fears the Dutch. How sensitive and inclusive of them. But useful? Not so much. Maybe once a conflict reaches the point where social workers are needed, but not before.
You wrote, "There is no way to percieve [sic] this policy other than, STRAIGHTS have special priveledge [sic] in the exercising of their free speech rights in the U.S. Army."
There is no requirement to perceive it that way at all: normal people living normal lives in no way constitutes a "special privilege" for anyone.
Now run along and play. In the words of Dieter from Sprockets, "your segment has become tiresome." |
|
|
...if it was of national need, or concern. It's a behavior question, not a right question! Figure it out! Hillary and CNN are tight, and this vaseline injection was not needed. I'm not one to grin, and bear it. The left is of the grin, and bear it, do nothing mentality. A grease ball injection like this is like a kid playing with matches, their going to get burnt. Both CNN, and Clinton. |
|
Shouldn't the question posed by the veg, I mean the plant, be directed towards the Clintons? That was Bill's policy and since Hill was such an itegral part(her experience to be CINC)of his presidency, she should take on this issue.
Just because a man thinks his digestive tract is part of his reproductive system, does not overshadow his service to country. It does beg the question, how did he surive 43 years in the Military? and what was his position on gay issues while he served?
I'd love to see some of those records! Anyone know where I could find this info?
p.s.
I am a heterosexual Navy veteran with a (DD-214) to prove it. |

I thought I saw a small spark of common sense evolving in andersons peanut, the other night on GLEN BECK.But I must have been mistaken. |
|
|
Grow up. Who cares? If candidates can give satisfactory answers it shouldn't be an issue. |
|
CNN gives the Dems a gift and that's the best shot they can take??? An old homo waxing on about how life is unfair, and should be more accomodating. An issue that 75% of the voting block (extrapolating from the typical voting results on gay marriage) and 99% of Republicans could care less about.
Hey Dems, you already have the GLAAD set. If this is the best you could do, then we're gonna win in a walk.
|
|
It was a legitimate question and better than most asked. Plus we already know where most Republicans stand on gays.
I think the media is looking for controversy and will create a mountain out of a molehill if they can't find any.
I hope the American public listen to the issues and not the "news", especially FOX "news" which I find to be as anti-American as you can get. All spin, no freedom of speech allowed....no freedom of thought either.
They don't represent the real Republicans out there. It's all about attacking Libs and hatred. Enough already. |
|
The thing I don't understand from all the posts is why it's such a problem that a "Hillary plant" or anyone else for that matter asked a question. The implication seems to be that only Republicans can ask other Republicans questions.
When you're running for President, aren't you hoping to represent all Americans? This inference that candidates aren't able to handle anything but softballs thrown at them is kind of pathetic. Why can't a Republican take a question from someone supporting Hillary or Edwards? Or for that matter, why can't a Democrat be asked a question from a Romney supporter?
A capable politician - who actually has a viewpoint and stands for something - should be able to defend his/her views no matter who is asking the question.
What I think is far more pathetic is allowing the stupid question at the end about the Yankees. There are serious issues to discuss in a limited time. I love baseball but who cares about it in this context. |
|
I don't see why it's a problem. This was touted as a debate where the questions would come from U-tube (as opposed to coming from "journalists").
And obviously some of those kinds of questions are going to come from Dem supporters.
I think it resulted in better questions, and think the model should be expanded. I would love to see the Dems on this kind of hotseat. They might have to actually answer something harder than "diamonds or pearls?" and we might learn alot more about them. I think we certainly saw a tad less soundbite spewing in this forum than we do in the conventional ones.
I say CNN did a good job, but only if they subject the Dems to the same treatment.
I can do without the focus groups at the end tho. |
|
We need to get these obvious criminals like Giuliani and the Clintons out of there so we can focus on the others.
Giuliani and Bill and Hillary Clinton are 3 candidates that don't even deserve to shine shoes; they'd probably steal your shoelaces if you turned your head away.
Let's get the tra$h out of politics. |
|
|
Excuse the paranoia, but I have a hard time believing ANYBODY didn't know the Colonel was a plant half way through his statemen. I said statement, not a question. |
|
I'm assuming at the next democratic debate, there will be Romney, Guilliani and Huckabee plants asking questions about the war on terror, religion and immigration.
At least I hope there will be. |
|
We all know had the tables been turned and someone from a GOP camp had been planted to ask a hard question of HRC, like "why did you keep all them FBI files in the White house"? We would not be hearing "this was something that needed to be asked of her, we need to know why she lied about this"!
No! All the top stories in the mass media would be "GOP plant worked for so~in so"!
So here we are, no top story, we have to find this out on line and yet the libs still come around and say "this is just a bunch of ho~hum news, and this needed to be asked anyway...."
The point is CNN did know who this guy was and only stated a lame sorry for being called on it!
Lets start asking Clinton something hard for a change. We can't let her get a pass for all the sh** she and her man has pulled on the USA in the past!!! |
|
|
What did anyone expect from CNN? An honest debate? HA!! Not from these guys! CNN almost single handedly has caused the demise of a believable press. They are the whores of this business. |
|
What is YOUR point?
College is NOT the military. YOU choose your friends, great. I am happy that you have found friends that accept you (BTW, if you are a gay male - why would it bother a female to dress in the same room as you??)
In the military, one does not choose one's roommates. The military chooses them for you (DUH!!!). The personnel in our military have to become like family because when the bullets are flying, a soldier does not make heroic decisions for their country, they make them for the men and women they are serving with.
There is a HUGE difference between civilian life and the military. In civilian life, if one does not like a job or a city/town, one can simply leave. In the military, one is where the millitary says one needs to be. In civilian life, if there are conflicts at the office one can simply find another job if necessary. In the millitary, not until one's time is up.
In my personal life, I have known (and (GASP) been friends with) homosexuals. (Double GASP) I even have a cousin who is GAY and I have met his partner of 11 years - nice guy.
My feelings about this aren't anti-gay, they are pro-military. I believe in the most efficient, strongest military possible. Anything that damages unit cohesion is BAD. At some point in the future, gay or straight may not matter, but right here and right now it matters. I have heard that as many as 15% of the population might be gay (I think this estimate might be high but I'll use it for arguments sake). It is MUCH easier to maintain an all-volunteer force with 85% of the population than it is with 15%.

It is one thing to use a question, but imagine the possiblities that out of 5,000 video questions...one from Hillary would make it to the floor. And then imagine that the guy who asked the question is there, to be acknowledged, and to be heralded by AC. The only reason he should be applauded is because of his service, not for his choice in companions. Again you see how amazingly stupid the media and "Leaders" think we are. We know a set up when we see it, and guess what in the past we wouldnt catch it but now, two time in a month she is caught trying to manipulate the debate. Lets see a manipulating woman that wants the top spot in the company...hmmm I have an itch that wants to be prez.
CNN has no right to consider themselves a news worthy organization when they cannot investigate thier own hand infront of them.
Have some integrity, Hillary find some integrity I know being married to the human petrie bowl can cloud your arrogant mind, but try.
Should their be gays in the military no, just like the military does not allow those who commit open adultry be in the military, that kind of behavior leeds to the break down of a unit. To hold a blind eye to sin does not help anyone but to continue to push the foolishness of Political Correctness.
Wake the stuff up America, dont let the Hillary manipulate you, stand up to the liar and controller.

I am going back to sleep. If CNN ever decides to hire journalists instead of politico junkies, will someone please wake me up. You will know because journalists ask six questions: Who, What, When, Where, Why and How, and then they allow knowledgeable individuals for whom they have actually done background checks answer one or more of those questions. How quaint! Anyone here old enough to remember when journalism was actually a respected profession? The stuff they palm off on us now is simply laughable. Yawn. |
|
The problem is that these press events become campaign activities for a particular candidate or party. When AC and CNN provide access for a Democratic campaign at a supposed debate intended to help the Republican Party choose a presidential candidate (anyone really think the Clinton campaign was hands-off in selecting the questioner and preparing the question?) then the press is acting as a campaign activity.
Against all possibility I'd prefer the press to be observers and informers, not participants. Democrats generally seem to fully support the press taking an active role in trying to produce a political outcome.
That's where CNN and Anderson Cooper have failed. Of course any questions are okay to ask but to have any scripting of a GOP debate that is designed to advocate for a particular Democratic candidate is counter to the fundamental purpose of journalism. |
|
Funny how "if we'd have known..." a "disclosure" would have been made. "If we'd have known..." the guy and his question should never have been ALLOWED! But of course, CNN is CNN in it's favorites...so.
At this point in history...with all the uncertainty and insecurity...the IMPORTANT things going on in the world...I would ask: WHAT is so important about a question regarding gays, lesbians and....transexuals? What's next? Get married to your dog?
This "plant" has just reinforced my belief that Hillary...if not totally power-mad and corrupt, is surrounded my people who will ( and maybe already have) sold their souls to power and corruption. If I was ever on the fence about her (don't think I ever was) I've definately fallen off...she will NEVER get my vote...for anything. Bill neither. |

YOUTUBE has the clip of Andersen Coopers and is not allowing comments below the video. |

The purpose of the U.S. miltary is NOT to protect the right of free speech for the soldier. In reality, people who join the military give up quite a few rights during their service. A military person in uniform does NOT have the right to free speech and it certainly is NOT a democratic form of government within the military (i.e. we do not elect our generals and hold votes prior to attacking or going to war). There are sacrifices when one joins the military (low pay, duty nights or weekends, extended trips away from the family, and a loss of privacy are among the less serious, but notable, sacrifices - life/limbs are among the serious sacrifices).
We have an all-volunteer military. Our soldiers can choose whether to stay or to get out when their time is up (usually). When a soldier feels the sacrifices are simply too great, he/she will simply leave the military when his/her time is up. Then, a new soldier must be recruited and trained. In some cases, this requires a lot of time and money, as well as a loss of readiness while the new soldier is trained.
The poster that commented about the 'Negroes' has, typically, glossed over the fact that the integration of the military happened during the draft years. The soldiers had no choice. |
|
This is another example of what Hillary is all about. I personally am against gay's being in the military, but it has to be open for debate.
It is more concerning that this again shows to what level the Hillary Machine will stoop to. The tactics of the Hillary Machine is exactly what Americans are so sick of. It the shoe was on the other foot, she would be crying foul and have Bill condemning this as "too low for what Americans stand for". If it hasn't happened already, I am sure the Hillary campaign will say that they had no knowledge of this happening and did not direct it.
Do we really want 4 or more years of Hillary parsing, lawyering and evading what her own position/answer/response is? Do we really need that? I don't think so. |
|
I feel the need to state that for most conservatives- this article is NOT about gays in the military (and for you liberlas- it's Clinton's don't ask don't tell-which I think is a great idea, even though I hate that guy).
This is about the fact that ONCE AGAIN, CNN lied to you. How big does the lie have to be for it to count? Small lies don't matter??? |
|
Folks this isn't the first time CNN has let it's colors show. Back in 1992 when CNN had both candidates on the Larry King show for call in questions CCN producers gave George Stephenapolis (sp?) a "backdoor" phone number so that he could bypass average Americans and try to embarass President Bush. So is anyone surprised that the network that actually gloried in be called the CLINTON NEWS NETWORK would pull something like this.
Also, it should be noted that the retired officer in this case must have lied on numerous military forms, and have violated his oath on multiple occassions in his career. That makes him an unconvicted felon.

FAUVE- Thanks for posting the link, my blog is on that page. Nice to know people pay attention. More will be uncovered, if there's anything. That's the thing with the internet- you can find out about anything. If someone lies, then they will eventually get caught.
My thing is this...How big does the lie have to be for people to think it's a big deal? I guess small lies are excusable and people will vote for the person that tells the best little lies. What a standard! Gee- we're REALLY going to get change, aren't we??? See, in my mind-if I tell you something about someone and it turns out to be not true or partially not true- IT'S A LIE.
And for CNN to come and say they didn't know is absurd. They are not going to have some random crazy up there (Or random snow-men) asking retarded questions. I mean, they can't do that- some sort of screening has to take place. Do you think they would not screen people and lo and behold one of them turned out to be a rapist? Give me a break- I wasn't born yesterday. They knew and it's insulting to the American public that they pretend otherwise. We have integrity left- CNN (and others) just chose not to honor that.
So how big does the lie have to be for it to count? Just because Andy Cooper admitted to it, doesn't make it go away (at least for those of us who agree that even small lies are still lies...there are those of you out there that don't mind being lied to, though, if it's small enough.) |

There is no privacy in the military and YOU think it is okay to make the situation even worse by making our military personnel share living space with someone that may be attracted to them?
That's just my point! Soldiers are ALREADY sharing personal living space with people who MAY be attracted to them. What's happened as a result? Where has the sky fallen? What is this irrational fear that someone of your own sex MAY be attracted to you? That's THEIR thoughts! How does their thoughts have anything to do with you and your well being?
You know, someone being attracted to you, man or woman, isn't exactly my idea of the worst thing that can happen to someone. Do you see gay men going nutso or expressing any fear that some straight women MAY be attracted to them? What exactly are you afraid is going to happen if god forbid, someone of your own gender were to privately THINK you were attractive?
I had lots of close straight MALE and FEMALE friends who I use to share very close quarters with in college. We dressed in front of one another etc. Why did these straight people who I was friends with, both male and female, have no issue with this? Is there some irrational gay attraction fear that's exclusive to U.S. soldiers?
You are punishing the minority for the irrational, bigoted fears of SOME in the majority!
Hows about the service telling the homophobic straights to "grow up" and stop thinking that every gay man in the world is just waiting,waiting to get his chance to "jump your bones". Geeze...don't flatter yourselves so much already! |
|
Maybe for some people the question needed to be asked. I personally don't care about the question. It is not important to me.
But, if the question needed to be asked, why was it Keith Kerr's video that was picked? Out of 40,000 videos, how many asked that question? If his was the only one, then people don't care about that topic and then it didn't need to be asked.
At the start of the debate CNN said, "Remember, these are your questions." I immediately though, "bull crap!" They had 40,000 videos submitted and picked 40 of them. That means they hand picked only 0.001% of the questions. So they were CNN's questions, they just hand picked what videos would ask them. |
|
While I was not on active duty in those days, one of the things that a white and black man could share was their appreciation of females. They can find common ground. As ROCC states so well, if you've never served in the military, really, STFU.
I've been on ship in berthing areas, with racks stacked 7 high and in very close quarters. It is VERY cramped quarters. Having a homosexual among heteros in this environment is just another flash-point that is not needed by higher echelons. There is no time for social experimentation in the military. BTW, make no mistake here, the gay agenda is for them to serve OPENLY and if they say anything else, they're lying.
secateurs...Rant much? I envision you screaming at your monitor as your pound the keys like a raging chimpanzee, spraying moonbat spittle on your monitor.
BTW, nice use of a typical liberal tactic, the "I'm smarter than you so I get it, you don't." |
|
|
It's funny / sad that left-wing liberals see no problem by starting with a lie (and yes, deliberately omitting information is a LIE)!!! |
|
Why is it that the STRAIGHT soldiers in Israel, Germany, Britain, etc. don't have these hangups with the truth? American soldiers know that they are serving with gays, they just can't live with any verification of who some of those people might be.
Perhaps the motto for the U.S. Armed services should read something like this;
Amercian Soldiers, not scared of terrorist, just the truth.
Or perhaps the U.S. military could just adopt that tried and true "ignorance is bliss" thing.
I thought conservatives were against "thought crimes", yet you are supporting punishing people for what they THINK is sexy. One could be a celibate gay and if they just say what gender they THINK is attractive,sexy, etc., they are punished. How is this fair? How is this possibly American?
Are straight soldiers in Israel, Germany, Britain, etc. just smarter, braver, or both? |
|
|
is that the DemoRats won't debate on Fox because of their (Fox) "bias" but the liberals are the ones that are planting all of the questions. If the DemoRats are too afraid of Fox to debate on their channel, what makes anybody think they will be brave enough to stand up to anyone?? |

Charles Martel writes:
The gay soldier has exactly the same rights as the straight soldier. If he exercises some of them, however, he will have voluntarily chosen to end his military career. That's the way it is.
Yes. You are correct. They do have the same rights. It's just that ONE soldier can exercise his or her right to speak about his or her personal life and nothing will happen to him or her. If the other soldier exercises his or her right to speak about his or her personal life, he or she is treated punitively for doing so.
Why? A difference in words, a mere difference in words. Why are Americas straight soldiers so terrified of words? The straight soldiers in ALL the other Western nations don't have such fear. I know you support the policy, but you can't possibly think that it's fair in the truest sense of the word "fair"?
If a straight male soldier tells his fellow soldier "Man...I miss my girl friend", nothing at all will happen to that straight soldier.
If the male soldier he was speaking to happens to be gay and returns in kind with, "Yeah...I know what you mean, I really miss my boy friend too", HE, the gay male soldier is treated in a punitive fashion.
There is no way to percieve this policy other than, STRAIGHTS have special priveledge in the exercising of their free speech rights in the U.S. Army. |

By your comments, is it safe to safe that you think that all military sleeping quarters and bathrooms should be co-ed?? |
|
Gunny G:
For Pete's sake, you have missed the entire point.
THE POINT IS NOT WHAT HE SAID, BUT THAT HE IS WORKING FOR HILLARY AND DID NOT IDENTIFY HIMSELF AND HIS INTENTION WAS TO "MONKEY-WRENCH" THE REPUBLICAN DEBATE!!!!!
There are plenty of other times to debate the question he asked, BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT OF THE OUTRAGE!!!!
THE FACT THAT ANYONE WOULD DO WHAT HE DID, JUST TO "GET POINTS" FOR HIS CANDIDATE, MEANS THAT HE (AND HIS CANDIDATE) HAVE ZERO RESPECT FOR THE PROCESS.
HIS INTENTION IS MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE QUESTION.
JUDAS PRIEST, I DON'T CARE IF HE ASKED IF THE MOON WERE MADE OF GREEN CHEESE; BECAUSE THE QUESTION IS NOT THE POINT, AND NEVER WILL BE THE POINT.
I hope that you realize that by going "off point" you are doing all you can to help Hillary.

I served in the military and we often had 9 or 12 men sleeping in an area the size of a 'normal' bedroom. There is no privacy in the military and YOU think it is okay to make the situation even worse by making our military personnel share living space with someone that may be attracted to them? You are either unrealistic or you are hoping to destroy our military.
I have no problem with homosexuals in the civilian world, what someone does in their own bedroom is their own business, but personnel in the military serve one purpose - to be ready to go into combat for our national purpose. ANY distraction that might make a unit less ready needs to be avoided or removed. |
|
|
CNN WAS NOT DUPRISED by Hillarys plant. They are just another puppet from her long arm of corruption. |
|
again. All the Lefty's must have been warned about the atrocious D-rat plants in the debate and have responded in Townhall and all blogs to their marching orders from their leaders, the disciples of Marx and Stalin.
Michelle Malkin has already uncovered the D-rat operatives on her site...it is unbelievable! |
|
The main point that I'd like to make with gays in the service is threefold.
First, homosexuals have the highest disease rate in the sexual world, whether you like it or not. The hertero's in the military are among the healthiest of the population. In combat, if a homosexual is wounded, someone else must get their hands in their blood, which may or may not be HIV-tainted. So is it fair to put someone else AND their family at risk to allow homosexuals to serve? Not to mention that there is no time to don rubber gloves, etc.
Second, consider the discrimination aspect of it. In the field, we often wash up in open shower rooms, common dressing/undressing areas, etc. Thus, we're allowing men who love men to be WITH men in these areas yet heterosexuals are not allowed to shower up together.
Lastly, it's human nature to have an adverse reaction to homosexuals. Many of us find their behavior unnatural and disgusting (see Zombie's Hall of Shame). One poster referred to anal sex like all of us heteros are running around doing that. Not likely. Thus, the conflicting sexual attitudes WILL affect unit cohesion whether liberals like it or not. Many of us in the service or retired have a problem serving with someone we cannot respect. Just ask someone who had an idiot for a ship's captain or as a C.O. |

But I'd hate more innocent blood shed on American soil concerning these lamebrains running that brag they are fit to be president.. with sniping and backstabbing going on in private. Everyone should be open and honest, but if you are, you leave yourself ready to be brought down is the message from all of them. I make mistakes but I can please you? Open your eyes people and stop being manipulated by the so called 'privilaged elitist' vieing for conquest to be your next king. Either Congress and the Judicial branch backs the next president or nothing will be done and peaceful. |

The gay soldier has exactly the same rights as the straight soldier. If he exercises some of them, however, he will have voluntarily chosen to end his military career. That's the way it is. Deal with it. It's not going to change. As is so often said in another context, the debate is over.
You seem to see irony in conservatives' support for the troops and our simultaneous disrespect for any who advocate policy changes that would harm the military. You are free to choose to do so, but you are hallucinating.
Because it would be useful to have their candidates' relevant positions on the record, the Hillary plant's question is one that should indeed have been asked, but only at a Democrat debate, where such concerns merit lugubrious pandering. The rest of us don't care, and its inclusion here served only to prevent a more worthwhile question from being asked. He might just as well have asked the Republicans about their positions on cannibalism (they're all opposed) or whether they prefer diamonds or pearls, this year's equivalent of 1992's "boxers or briefs". |

Throwing out all of the other "vast right wing conspiracy" and "neocon" babble that they would throw out.
Did anyone expect anything less from hillary's camp? Whether or not she authorized this, you deep down inside know that she is full aware of this. It's the typical MO of her camp. Look back throughout the Clinton juggernaut throughout the 70's till present. It's the same thing.
They won't allow any type of outside questions or anything that will make them look bad. It's all choreographed and plotted out. Whether you are left or right sided, how can anyone trust them to be in power?
I'll leave it up to you to do your own research and come to your own conclusion. If 8 years of the past doesn't show a pattern of the future with calling her C&C, what would?
I personally believe that she's more radical and more to the left than bill ever dreamed of being. One thing I'd say is though, I don't think she'd go extreme left unless the dems won control of the House and Senate. After 2012, watch out, that's when we all would need to worry. |

CNN has the NAMES AND PHOTOS OF EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO IS PART OF HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN.
IT IS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL LIE THAT ANDERSON AND OTHERS DID NOT KNOW THAT THE GENERAL WAS WORKING FOR HILLARY!!! |

Time to get back to real news.
While I admit that it is no real news, the fact that the man that works for the same administration that installed don’t ask and don’t tell, then complains in the form of a question about having to live in the closet for so many years is BS.
How can severing under Clinton strengthen his endorsement?
While I personally don’t give a dam if gay men are in the military I hate the utter hypocrisy of the question. If it bothered him so, he could have retired in 20 years like many do and not stay the extra 10 or so years. He could have gone to the press 10 years ago, and had a story that said: General forced out of the Army because he is gay. Or.. Because President Clinton has supported the rule that states: Don’t ask don’t tell, I am retiring.
It hits me like all these people that somehow the Democratic party finds that are “victims” You know the woman that has to eat dog food, because she cant collect enough cans to eat, or the poor union man that cant get healthcare.
This shows just how slanted the new/debates are at CNN. This is twice in a row, some how do you think that they don’t know who gets a mike and who does not.

I think CNN fielded a valid question from a person who has proved themself. It was not a loaded question either or one that would attempt to pin the GOP against a wall such as "Do you want to hurt all children or just minority ones?" or some other lamo Lib idea.
Bottom line is his question was valid, it does not matter who he works for.
It is worth noting the respect the man was given after his question unlike how the Dems treated conservatives with questions in their Tube debate such as the guy with the AR15. |

The post above is for you Kafir. I forgot to paste in your assanine statements. |
|
Geeze. Like clockwork, the problem with homosexuality always seems to work its way back to a disaproval anal sex.
First of all,other people can use their bodies however they want.
I have a question for you Kafir. If anal sex is something so unnatural, and naturally repulsive to straight people, why do so many STRAIGHT people engage in it too?
Just get online. There's countless vids, toys, forums about anal sex ALL marketed to...that's right...STRAIGHT people.
Get out once in a while and you might know this. The prostate is the male G-Spot and many, many, many STRAIGHT men like having their women stimulate it with something. Many women like it too AND many men like analy copulating women.
Go to an online sex toy site. There's tons of "anal play" stuff designed for and marketed to STRAIGHT couples. Who's buying all this STRAIGHT oriented anal porn and toys? Gay men. I don't think so. Please don't come around here with the assertion that STRAIGHTS don't engage in anal sex, because they do. Get on Craigslist hookup ads. There's lots of STRAIGHT men looking specifically for this kind of play with females.
Why are you putting the whole of anal sex on gays. The group most unlikely to engage in it are lesbians. If your problem is really with anal sex, you should hold lesbians in a higher regard than you do straights.
It's not illegal behavior. There is no VALID reason to give straights "special" free speech rights in the military. Does no one see the irony in the U.S. Military, charged with protecting the values in the constitution, taking away the free speech rights of an entire class within it's own ranks?
If most soldiers are uncomfortable around Atheist or Wiccans or Muslims, should the military be able to tell them they can't talk about or disclose their religious beliefs for the good of morale too? |
|
Is anyone REALLY surprised by this?
It's standard operating procedure. :)

She's just not good enough at being a total sleazebag crook. |
|
"If gays can't talk about their home/family/love life at work then neither should the straights be allowed to."
Homosexuality is unnatural and unhealthy. Why should anyone who values normal healthy sexuality have to listen to perverted crap about someone's gay lover? Take an anatomy class, Bub; it's an EXIT! |

Yeah, now that I think about it...
An aunt, a fan of CNN, once commented on a segment they did of taking a tour of Anderson Cooper's home. Apparently, he has a very large painting of his mother hovering over the backboard of his master bedroom.
Not, um, the kind of "imagery" most men would want to have in the...bedroom. |

"So why is the good General who served 8 years under Clinton supporting the same team that gave him: don’t ask don’t tell?? Yet at the same time have the balls to ask men that have never held the position to change the rule of the military, what “they” are going to do about it??"
Hilliary08 sure is going to be a fun campaign to watch this year. Reminds me of Wiley Coyote. You just know this is going to explode in her hand.
Beep Beep!
Wonder if the Dems realize yet they're drawing blind?
BTW -- Michele Malkin has the skinny on a second YouTube questioner -- with a clear Edwards bias |

The Republican debates are supposed to help Republican voters decide who to vote for in the Republican primaries. Yet, I heard few questions that are actually of interest to Republicans. Instead, the questions were little more than a litany of Democrat stereotypes about Republicans: "Do you believe every word of the Bible?" "What do you think of the Confederate flag?" Some questions were thinly veiled recitations of Dem talking points: "If abortion becomes illegal, will women be prosecuted?" Others were just plain stupid: "How about a mission to Mars?" But the fact that they gave a microphone to that general and allowed him to talk uninterrupted for such a long time took the cake. They even gave him a new mic when the one he was using conked out. Kudos to Bill Bennett from calling them on it on live TV in a way that they couldn't ignore or hem and haw for days on end while they "investigated" the possibility that the General was a plant.

You got it. If someone wants to serve bad enough he can, but that not in the manner you think is okay. |

I'm not the least bit surprised.
Interesting since Hillary hates being asked tough questions...
|

Nothing new here. Anderson Cooper told us this would happen. He said as much in an interview with Townhall when he stated "Democratic Operatives are people too."
Why should we have expected anything less from AC and CNN.
I wonder if AC thinks republican operatives are people too? God forbid a Republican Operative ask a question at a republican debate. |
|
So, if Guillani planted someone in the Democratic debate, I'm sure it would be another "ah, shucks"!... right.
No freaking way. It would be front page news, the opening segment of each of the networks, and condemned by so many celebrities that it's another "republican dirty trick" it would make your head spin.
Guilliani would be BLASTED as deceitful. CNN would demand a full retraction and investigation into how it occured. It would be one of the subjects of the weekend talk shows and the conspriacy theorists would find some kind of link or similarity to "9-11".
Can't politicians just play fair? Isn't that what we except when they join the office we elect them to? And, can't the press do it's job and REVEAL THE TRUTH behind these practices? |

Sure Kerr has a right to free speech, but so do Republicans. Why not get someone from the Eagle Forum to pose a question to the Democrat candidates at their next debate?

So. The straight soldier can yap openly about his personal life, his special someone back home, or the hottie they met on leave. The gay soldier has to go out of his/her way to make no such mention. So...straights in the military have free speech rights, but gays do not.
This sounds like a policy that "works fine"? This doesn't smack of unfair or of being a double standard at all? Really?
If the gay soldiers are going to be specifically denied something the straight soldiers get to do then the gay soldiers should get more pay or better asignments, something.
Last time I checked. They fight the same war. They endure the same hardships and dangers. They just don't have the same right to free speech. That makes sense? Only a Republican could justify open and blatant special treatment for straights as something noble.
Why should straights in the army have "special rights"? No special rights for straights! Even in the military. If gays can't talk about their home/family/love life at work then neither should the straights be allowed to. |

As a conservative I've become disgusted with the GOP's focus. And this wave of concern about the question being from a "plant", is absurd. Either the question is valid or it isn't, the source is irrelevant. After all if the question is; Does Iran plan on building a nuclear device? become less relevant and important if asked by ..let's go with Jonathan Edwards then if asked by George Will. The answer may vary but the question doesn't change.
I mean with a federal governement running an obscene deficit, the erosion of civil liberties, inflation quickening (and don't talk about the governments inflation figures, they are a crock and anyone who needs to buy either of those stripped out items food and energy - both up at a minimum of 15% this year knows it) and the GOP still wants to worry about gays in the military..same sex marriage...and abortion. Oh please I know.."values", how about it's simply not the government's business. How about we deal with the serious issues of the day and leave this crap to the op-ed pages to fight over. Because I'll predict right now, if the party doesn't focus the results of last November's election will look like a win for the Republican party compared to next years. |
|
|
I am not surprised that CNN let this guy speak after it is known as Clinton News Network. I would not put anything past the Clinton's either. They are the most conniving dishonest people and will probably end up in the White house again. We have had enough of the Clinton's and Bush's. We really do need a change but there is no one running that is deserving to be President. I hope someone will come out before it is to late. |
|
I think that lots of people are missing the point..
It does not matter that he has a right to ask the question the real "question" is why did he wait until now, to ask.
Bill and Hillary had 8 years to work out this problem with gays in the military and we got: don’t ask don’t tell. So why is the good General who served 8 years under Clinton (almost a third of the years he was in the military). Supporting the same team that gave him: don’t ask don’t tell????????? Yet at the same time have the balls to ask men that have never held the position to change the rule of the military, what “they” are going to do about it??
It is one of the greatest "are you still beating your wife questions" while the person that is asking is a battered wife!!!!
The Republicans should hammer this point hard.
|
|
You're right, who cares? Tomorrow and the next few days this is going to be the main thing they'll holler about on the radio and on Fox. sooner or later this was going to come up. If these guys have any convictions they should be able to handle these questions.
Romney should have said to him "you spent 43 years in and only came out of the closet when you retired?" and when he replied "yes" stated the existing policy works fine. End of story. |
|
|
The "General" is not. He is a fraud. There is no such thing as a "California National Reserve," unless it is some bogus club he and his friends have formed; some club of alleged military enthusiasts, and they sit around furiously promoting each other to ever more lofty ranks. I suspect this time next year he will be a Field Marshall. Do SOME work CNN, and expose this guy for his deceit. |
|
|
I don't care if he is a Clinton staffer. He is a US citizen first and foremost and should be allowed to ask a question. Was there an exclusion clause for this debate that stated any staffer could not pose a question? The question needed to be asked, and it was asked legitimately by a US citizen and registered voter, who just happened to work for the Clinton campaign. What is wrong with that. In fact, Hilary herself, should have posted the question for the debate on Youtube, that would have been great. Another conservative attempt to muzzle the public. |

I don't get it.
How many American lives were lost today when a suicide bomber blew herself up in a city north of Baghdad today?
How many people will lose their homes this month b/c of predatory lending?
Are Middle-East peace discussions even possible with Bush in the White House?
Last I checked there is still a First Amendment to the Constitution. Sorry [Karl and all the other wackos], even though he is a gay man and supports a female Democratic candidate for President he is still entitled to the right of freedom of speech.
It's time to focus on the real issues...the history of the current administration proves what happens if we don't.
This is hardly news. |
|
I'm glad that she did it. I'm a conservative and I'm glad that, unlike a democrat, they answered the question (except Romney). There's no ambiguity people. It's not anything you didn't already know. Republicans believe that don't ask don't tell works, democrats don't. Actually democrats only believe what programs people believe at the time. Don't like it, Don't vote Republican.
This is such a minor issue in this ever-so-important election. Don't make news out of nothing! |

I wish I could say I am suprised that Billary planted someone in the audience, but I am not. Ever since Clinton said she was running for president CNN turned into the (Cliton News Network). After her horrible performance on immigration CNN has been trying to make her look even better. The last Democratic debate one so one sided toward BIllary it was a joke. Anyone trying to say something bad abut her got booed and when asked if she would give licenses to illegals she got a one word answer with no follow up. First she plants questions now shes planting people into the Rupublican debate. How can Anderson Cooper say he had no idea about him being affiliated with Billary. CNN is a joke. Thats probably why thier ratings are terrible |
|
I think the "undecided" lady on the focus group panel was an Edwards plant, too.
What Republican in her right mind would vote for some guy with a $4000 haircut and a 30k sq. ft. mansion who tells middle class taxpayers they must "make sacrifices"? |
|
|
is it a surprise that a CLINTON would do anythin dishonest?? |
|
|
He was getting booed because he wouldn't stop talking and filibustering. He asked for an answer and got one, but he didn't get the one he wanted, so he just kept talking. A little self-important if you ask me. |
|
|
|

Well, CNN is trying to be fair: they allowed Hillary plants at the Dem debate so they allow Hillary plants at the Repub debate. (sarcasm) |

Conservatives just love the military. They respect it so much. All you have to do is look at how they trashed Kerry, trashed Baucus, continue to trash McCain, trash the VA and now this guy. It makes no difference what one might have sacrificed for their country. The moment they don't tow the neocon line 100%, all that respect and gratitude goes out the window and they become "the enemy".
I don't know why I'm surprised though. This is the party that actually had the nerve to infer in commercials that Max Baucus was an unpatriotic ally of Bin Laden! The man has NO BOTTOM HALF! He lost it in PATRIOTIC service to his country! How the Reps. even had the cajones to question this mans patriotism in the public square is beyond me!
Did you notice all the boos of honor and respect this general got from the fine, upstanding, military loving crowd of conservatives?
Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap. |

budbud: They shouldn't have had the Grover Norquist question because it was weak. But, one will note that his affiliation was listed right next to his name.
Kerr's link to the Clinton campaign wasn't listed next to his name; it wasn't even disclosed.

Ron Paul just makes me laugh.

For the record:
1. It was one bridge.
2. It was one bridge in a state that is currently building TWO new ballparks when they have a perfectly good Metrodome already built and paid off.
Seems like a state with mis-placed spending priorities to me... |
|
|
The irony is that the Dems (and the MSM for that matter) get away with calling Fox News politically bias and hiding behind CNN and MSN while the Republicans stand up in front of the firing squad and have to take this blatant political bias constantly and have it called "objectivity". When CNN and their cohorts get caught, it's "oops, sorry". If this happened on Fox, it would be front page news everywhere. |
|
My subject line explains my feelings. CNN os nothing but a shill for the Clinton's...they always have been. No integrity whatsoever! CNN is as crazy as their former owner Ted Turner is. Although we can blame his antics on dementia.
What a farce this election will be. Hillary screeching, Edwards pretending to be poor. Obama and his "experience". And Kucinich!! Holy cow, now there's a space cadet for you, he's as weird as they come. |
|
|
I could carea a less that this guy was a Hillary campaign worker, he asked a good question. What bothered me as a conservative, is why was he so afraid to disclose that he was affiliated with the Clinton campaign? and shouldnt he be working on the questions for Hillary? He also seemed very nervous. AS for the lady that said she would vote for Edwards, she was a joke and there is no way she is an undecided Republican if Edwards is her choice, especially for the reasons she gave, that the Republicans running didnt say how they would fund programs, has she asked that to Edwards and all of his promises, just another plant |
|
You get to choose from 5000+ videos. You fly the guy in. You give him a microphone. You let him ask a question which means nothing to 90% of the Republican party. Then you claim ignorance when you find out he is a plant? One more reason we don't watch CNN in our household.
BTW - the questions were generally hostile to the candidates. I really wish tough questions were asked of Democrats. Why aren't Democrats asked if they believe literally in the Bible? Why aren't Democrats asked about failed liberal public policy that has led to horrific black on black crime rates? Why aren't they asked to comment on predictions made by established military experts about the dire consequences of an immediate withdrawal from Iraq? |
|
It wouldn't have been as bad had they not let him have the mike to himself for a full minute. Then Cooper jumps on Romney about his "I dream of a day when don't-ask-don't tell isn't necessary" quote--or whatever it was.
This wasn't just a plant, Anderson was prepared to Jump Ugly with Romney on this...this was collusion, with the objective to take down the candidate HRC08 fears worst -- Romney.
And I won't even mention Cooper's lack of journalistic bias or preferences on gay rights.
Its just a shame this becomes the lead story of an overall intelligent debate. You really have to feel sorry for these two -- they couldn't even float this softball past the first news cycle.
Drudge is breaking out the large font already.

So typical of both Hillary's campaign and CNN; I thought at the time it was an odd that the gay man said he didn't get an answer from the candidates when in fact he got 3, he should have said he did not like the answers, that would have been more honest.
And, that woman who said she'd vote for Edwards, the most left leaning of all, doesn't belong with the Republican undecideds-if she TRULY feels Edwards would be good, the closest one to him is Ron Paul, whom she never mentioned. |

Yeah, I notice that. I also noticed the other candidates that are CFR members staring at the tops of their podiums.
Just for the record, Hunter and Tancredo also hold the NAU in disdain. |

The general is obviously famous enough to have a trail on the internet. As soon as Bill Bennett mentioned he thought he might be on a sterring committee of Clinton... I confirmed it in 30 seconds with google. Had CNN simply googled his name... they would have found it |
|
|
This is the kind of stuff you will get from CNN but the Dems are too afraid to go on FOX. |
|
|
You can bet CNN didn't know about the plant, not. Slime mixes with slime so CNN and the Democrats are an automatic mix. Throw the idiot general in the mix of slime. |

And we have yet 'another' plant in a Presidential debate put on by CNN. I was wondering how Keith Kerr got more mic time after his video question than the candidates themselves were allowed to have per question. Turns out he is on a Gay Steering Committee of Hillary Clinton. He was also on a veterans committee for John Kerry http://www.isebrand.com/e-pamphlet12.htm plus CNN had interviewed him several years back. Is CNN incapable of holding a legitimate debate without planting political operatives?
What a disgrace. Their logo 'The most trusted name in news' will now be 'The most busted name in news.' Truly appaling. |
|
Its desired audience is center-left. Most of them will have no problem with CNN putting the GOP in a position where it squirms a bit.
And, who do we complain to? If we complain, we look petty.
And CNN knows it. As far as their concerned, it's no big deal, and we Republicans can take two running jumps and go straight to he**.
Hugh, I gotta hand it to you. You were right. |
|
I agree with the comment that the question needed to be asked to the Republican candidates. Who asks it or not is irrelevant. My problem is CNN's apology that "they did not know."
It’s amazing to me that the overwhelming number of mistakes or lack of disclosures always appear to be related to the Republican Party or the GOP. When a news agency has such a bias reporting record, I find it offensive and belittling that they attempt to apologize.
CNN should sell their network by its actions and not hide behind "fair and balanced reporting." This is one of the primary reasons that the Harvard study found that people don't trust the media. Apologies can only be used a certain number of times before they have the "ya right" effect.
I believe that CNN has used up its apologies and must be held more accountable if they want to market that they are fair news agency.

that not only the sissy girl had a u tube question but also was in there to promote cnn/a. cooper's gay victims stupid agenda. PATHETIC!!! |

I was already rather ticked about the question. Not only did they allow him to ask it in an attempt to paint the GOP as "bigots," but then they invited the guy to sit in the audience and give a speech about it. You could hear the boos in the audience when he was reaching his fourth minute rambling on about the issue.
Then, to learn that CNN allowed the guy - a Hillary plant - to ask a question at a GOP debate? Well, color me not surprised.
I sure didn't hear the Democrats challenged on their warped view of the radical Islamic theat at THEIR debate by a Republican YouTuber or an audience plant. |
|
|
|
|
Did you notice that Ron Paul was the only on to address the North American Union and CFR. Most of the other guys are members of the CFR, but Ron gets the question. |
|
Down boys.
No one's saying the General can't ask his question - after all, he has an agenda he needs to advance, right? It's just that his status as an operative in Hillary's campaign should've been disclosed. That's all.
Besides, he said he didn't get an answer. He sure as heck did (except from weenie Romney) - it was just an answer he didn't like. That was stupid of him.
If Karl Rove had gotten two to three minutes to ramble through his agenda at the Dem debate y'all would be having tantrums and cryin' like babies. |
|
|
The liberals who whine, 'oh can't anyone ask a question?' Yeah, just like at CNNs Democratic debate in Vegas when they staged the questions with liberal activists. Now at the Rebuplican debate they plant,no not a conservative, but another liberal activist, who is a member of Hillary's committe, plus, he gets to sit right up front and ask a followup. Then CNN realizes that they are busted and plead ignorance, will the lies never stop? |
|
|
Gee whiz, everyone. What's the big deal. After all, CNN said it messed up. Forgive and forget. The gays need to know this kind of stuff. Never mind that we are being infiltrated by radical Islam, and the world is being taken over by this these roaches. We must give the gays what they want. |
|
Granted it was inappropriate for CNN to have allowed the question without acknowledging his affiliation, but that doesn't automatically lead to the conclusion: Hillary plants question in Republican debate.
I assume she probably did but to be fair and honest no need to jump the gun. |
|
Who was the Republican "undecided" voter that would vote for John Edwards? An Edwards plant?
CNN, so predictable, so weak, so lax. |
|

Odd now too that rumors have the Hildabeast asking General Clark to be her VP. Odd that he would be a choice to be a Prez in standing?! The guy is an empty suit. Nice planted question by a man who served his nation. Too bad he had to get such a nice shot on TV to really bring up the old saw of 'don't ask, don't tell.' MCain recognized his service and nailed the question. Mitt sort of stumbled. The Huck was sort of charming but muddled. The fact is most military people would rather not know and if they are pushed for PC ideology by homosexuals, it will indeed break up troop morale and unity. Now CNN needs to ask the Jesus question to the Dem secularists in their next debate. Might as well throw in the illegal immigration one too since their policies have so contributed to the mess. And why not throw in a Pub planted question? Seems fair. |

The man is a gay activist. So what? For all we know the guy with the Confederate flag question is a member of some Sons of the Confederacy group. Did he aleady donate to one of the other campaigns? Is he a plant from that other campaign?
Didn't Grover Norquist get in? Is he a Republican "plant"? How does being an activist for a cause nullify the legitimacy of an individuals question? Oh, no. Quick. Stop the presses.
The gay guy who actually took time to make a video for his gay themed question is a gay activist? I wonder if the guy with the Bible question is a member of "The Moral Majority"?
How does his activism make his question irrelevant? I'm gay, and I feel the exact same way as the man who asked the question. I'm glad he put it up there. Why are the soldiers in other developed countries evolved and "brave enough" to actually know that the gays they serve with are gay?
I guess American soldiers aren't really "the bravest" ones out there. They need to have their prejudice coddled by the U.S. government, because, they'll run in front of bullets, but don't ask them to share a room with a mo! That's just too scary!
But yet, they know that there are gays serving with them! Ignorance is bliss in CON land? The policy is idiotic on its face. It says gays are competant enough to be good and valued soldiers, but there's alot of bigots, so let's create a policy which punishes the good soldiers and panders too the irrational fears of bigots!
The military is saying that we need to respect the bigotry of bigots and supress the free speech of good soldiers? When did bigotry become noble?
Good god, this policy puts the CON in CONservative! |

So this American soldier is precluded from asking a question because of his connection to a candidate you're all afraid of?
The fact that Dumbya has appeared exclusively before screened "audiences" and planted reporters for 7 years only makes your whining all that much more delightful.

I guess they were out of work asking her questions.
CNN and UTube... your politics on drugs.
Almost make CBS look legit. |

CNN is a sham! What a disgrace to non-tilted reporting.
I cant stand CNN. I only watch them to see what the Democrats are up to. |

This morning I read an interview with good ol' AC about the "question selection process" One line stood out that bothered me, and that being that it was not his job to screen questions for plants. I guess he lived up to his word that he was not screening questions for plants, because "its not [his] job." |

I would never have figured that Hillary would plant questions at a debate, I thought she only planted questions at her own meetings, and only wanted to recite her own talking points. |

These things are sprouting up everywhere. Weed-b-gone or something is desparately needed here, because if we don't get a handle the entire MSM will be overgrown with...too late.
