The man who put together Wednesday nights CNN/YouTube presidential debate said theres no way that a retired general who asked Republican candidates a gays-in-the-military question was a plant by the Hillary Clinton campaign. With the fox guarding the hen house, the fox said "there's no way" that I ate that chicken.

At a minimum, the debate was scripted by CNN to present the Democrat Party’s talking points.

Its my understanding the guy just happened to have a wireless microphone tuned to the studio frequency.
This was a great idea on his part, knowing that he would be attending this debate. Whenever I go to a CNN debate, I too make sure and bring a studio-frequency-tuned wireless mic, just in case I get called on to say if my question was answered to my satisfaction. You would too, wouldn't you all?

I was a little surprised that the A.J.C. printed this response:
And tomorrow CNN will come out with a story that The AJC isnt biased in their coverage
. Bad news, AJC, folks know now that the junk you all print is opinion, not news, and always slanted by your bias.

At a minimum, the debate was scripted by CNN to present the Democrat Partys talking points. and those DemocRat talking points were delivered by DemocRat party hacks and supporters. If there were ever any doubt about CNN's political leanings, this "debate" should have removed them.
FWIW, I wouldn't have a problem with CNN's tactics IF they let 'Pubbie operatives, perhaps Carl Rove, ask similar 'Pubbie talking piont questions of her Thyness, et al. That will never, ever happen, though. CNN doesn't have the cajones to ask her Thyness a question on DemocRat talking points.....much less 'Pubbie talking points......

We had a team of about 10 people who were looking and looking and looking. No one at YouTube had any idea of what we were going to use, he said. All flaming libs, no doubt...

Nice to see Mary Mapes could find work over at CNN, even if she had to use an assumed name.

CNN may actually be honest. How many gay generals are there anyways?
I see CNN’s plan, “Lets find the highest ranking rump ranger.”
That is also Hillary’s plan. They needn’t conspire.

Trying to deny the obvious is always entertaining - and futile... Did you enjoy memogate as much as I did? I cudda hugged Dan Rather.

Here’s what I don’t get: Why waste a dirty trick this early in the process when very few Americans are paying attention.
Remember the good ol’ days when the Dems would wait ‘til the last minute of the general election campaign {Cap Wienberger indictment in ‘92 and Bush DUI in 2000}? Why not save this tactic for final Presidential debate next October?

I read all about this at Michelle Malkin's webiste. It's amazing to read some of the idiotic respones coming from all the Bill Clinton butt kissers who choose to take up for CNN and their baltant and deliberate acts of journalistic malpractice. What they did was beyond hugh and series. It was absolutely baltant. :)

CNN = Clinton Noise Network. Boycott its advertisers. Hit them where it might hurt.
Debates need to be held at “neutral” sites with “neutral” moderators and no agenda other than to get the candidates to talk openly about the issues. Networks should have NO impact on these debates the same way that referees should have NO impact to games they officiate.
CNN should be fined by the Federal Elections Commission for providing free advertising for the Dims without equal time for the Republicans.

I would like to see the names, political affiliations, and sexual orientation of CNN’s entire newsroom staff, on air hosts and political reporters.
I’ll bet the discriminate against straight men.
