**CNN's six "undecided voters" were all Democratic operatives**

CNN's six "undecided voters" were all Democratic operatives 

 
UPDATES BELOW - CNN hits bottom and digs: All six debate questioners appear to be Democratic Party operatives. So much for "ordinary people, undecided voters". To paraphrase Junior Soprano, CNN is so far up the DNC's hind end, Howard Dean can taste hair gel.

In a nutshell, CNN's six "undecided voters" were:

A Democratic Party bigwig
An antiwar activist
A Union official
An Islamic leader
A Harry Reid staffer
A radical Chicano separatist

Wow. This looks "rather" like a scandal. Hot Air:

...You’d think the network’s audience might want to know who among the questioners has had a paid, formal relationship with the party.

...I went back to the beginning of the debate to see how Blitzer introduced the format. Did he offer any details on who’d be doing the questioning? Why, yes. After mentioning that the debate was sponsored by the national party — something likely understood by most viewers as a mere formality — he described them as “ordinary people, undecided voters.” Note: not even “undecided Democrats.” Just undecided.

Word on the street is that Hillary's staffers are extremely pleased with CNN's Wolf Blitzer for his softball questioning of Sen. Clinton during Thursday's Las Vegas debate. Blitzer "was outstanding, and did not gang up like Russert did in Philadelphia. He avoided personal attacks, remained professional and ran the best debate so far."

Who were the questioners upon whom Blitzer called? According to CNN, they were "ordinary people, undecided voters.” Like these folks:

Plant #1: LaShannon Spencer, whom Blitzer introduced as an "undecided voter", was tagged by Dan Riehl: in truth, she served as the political director of the Democratic Party of Arkansas.

Plant #2: Khalid Kahn, who expressed concern about profiling and the Patriot Act, asked "[m]y question is that -- our civil liberties have been taken away from us. What are you going to do to protect Americans from this kind of harassment?" Classical Values notes that Mr. Kahn is the president of the Islamic Society of Nevada, who has hosted conferences like this one (with guest speakers like Muzzamil Siddiqi). In fact, Kahn in no stranger to CNN, appearing on a show called Keeping the Faith in Sin City.

Plant #3: Suzanne Jackson -- mother of a three-term Iraq war veteran -- is aso a well-known antiwar activist. She appeared in the Las Vegas Review Journal protesting -- with a poor monkey, no less -- outside of Harry Reid's office in May.

Plant #4: Maria Luisa -- the UNLV student who asked Hillary Clinton whether she preferred "diamonds or pearls" -- wrote that CNN forced her to ask the "frilly" question instead of a pre-approved query regarding the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste facility.

Update: Andy writes to point out the eerie similarities between Maria L. Parra-Sandoval and "Maria Luisa." Regarding Ms. Parra-Sandoval, the UNLV website states:

This spring she will serve as the political communications intern for Senator Harry Reid in Washington, D.C. Currently a junior at UNLV, Maria is... is an immigrant on a quest to become a United States citizen.

In other words, she's not even eligible to vote, unless the Democrats changed the rules when I wasn't looking.

Thanks for pointing me to your post where you show that Maria Louissa is now a naturalized citizen. We need to make sure that everything is accurate so that the media cannot discredit the many valid points that are made.

This is NOT news. The folks asking questons are “undecided voters”...meaning they are undecided on which democrat to vote for.

Making something out of nothing at all.

If this were a general election debate...yes, we would have a story.

I love the internet. In 1992 CNN and the Clinton’s would have gotten away with this scam unscathed. Now bloggers and ordinary folk have the ability to speak back and investigate them.

I agree completely, and that's whats got the Lame Stream Media's panties all in a wad. The thought that some 'peon' would dare question their authoritative writing is... well... unbelievable (to them, at least).

Agreed. CNN is no better than other Democrat mouthpieces such as the New York Times and the Boston Globe. It’s all about lying and spinning on behalf of their party. Thankfully, the days when the big city newspapers and their network newsroom echophones monopolized the dissemination and spin of the daily news are gone forever. Thank God for talk radio and the internet - - America still has a chance to save itself.

To be fair, I think most Democrats are union hacks, professional activists, party organizers, or congressional staffers.

Either that, or government employees/”clients.”

Why hasn’t this news piece been picked up by media outlets? Not even Drudge has said a peep about this, nor the Fox News Channel...

...and people keep voting for Democrats. Chew on that little factoid for a minute. Ask yourself why. 50% of Americans can’t be evil.

Hmmm. Some of those “undecided voters” seem to be sitting in the same section of the audience = guy in #3 looks like guy on the right in #2. Lady in #5 is visible in #8.

“Undecided voters” musta had reserved seating near the microphones so they wouldn’t have to walk all the way from the back of the auditorium. /s

O.K., Directorblue is apparently a blog.

What are the chances that O’Reilly, Hannity or Michael Savage will get hold of this info?

Not to pick nits, but perhaps “undecided voter” means “undecided” about which rat candidate they want to win their party’s nomination?

"pick nits"; I like that. But, I think you are EXACTLY right.

How did you like that last question of Hillary, Diamonds or Pearls? That was an unfair tip of the cap to Hillary Clinton. CNN staff knew what that question would be in advance, and none of the other candidates were humanized at any point in the process.

The protesters with the Monkey outside of Sen. Reid’s Las Vegas office were pro-war protesters who were upset about Reid saying that the war was lost. Ms. Jackson was one of a group of counter-protesters who were protesting down the block

You are correct. One little correction. It was MoveAmerciaForward, a Pro-Troop Pro-Mission group. Pro war only because we are at war because Islamofacists declared war against us.

Here is a Thread about the Surrender Monkeys protest against Polosi and Reid because of their desire to surrender to the terrorists.

MAF and others like me weren't just upset, we were downright mad at our elected officials being treasonous!

You are right about Jackson being on the side of the terrorist and terrorist supporters.

And it wasn't her monkey, it was a rental brought by MAF.
