Big blip on Drudge.

*****UPDATE******

It turns out that Keith Kerr, retired Colonel., U.S. Army; retired Brigadier General, California National Reserve, who submitted a YouTube question about gays in the military, is actually a member of Hillary Clinton's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transexual Americans For Hillary Steering Committee. He's also part of a film production crew trying overturn the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

UPDATE: In the final seconds of the post-debate coverage, Anderson Cooper acknowledges that CNN messed this up and states that CNN did not know that Kerr has a position within the Clinton campaign and that had they known, they would have disclosed the association.

CNN had no idea, Shazam!

Yup. I participated in the live thread, and they smelled the rat, and exposed him.

[Laptop_Ron]

In that case, it was a mea culpa. However, I’m still not sure why we should get bent out of shape. Considering this was CNN, this was pretty minor. Moreover, the question was answered well by the candidates, so in effect we won anyway. No?

[Beagle8U]

CNN has had this guy on before and interviewed him!

[JohnD9207]

You gotta give it to CNN they know how to plant a plant!
They run a YouBOOB tape of General Fag warm up the crowd a bit then introduce him to the crowd. They allow him another few minutes to get his hit piece in. Then, immediately after the debate, CNN covers itself with its disclosure that CNN would have given the Plant’s association with Hildabeast had they known.

Only some outside help from the Clinton team could have come up with this tactic, but CNN knows how to run with a good idea. Two debates on CNN now where obvious plants have been trotted out and CNN does not have the decency to blush.

And marymaped .... the jerk.

[RDTF]

and FReepers make sure it’s gets exposed to sunlight, with a healthy dose of miracle grow

[advance_copy]

And we win even more as CNN is further exposed to be the lying DemocRAT agitprop joke. It’s a win-win situation.

“nah it’s news that Drudge picked it up. And Newsbusters did too!”

How very true.

Free Republic. One of the fasted ways to get the first news first.

I keep telling others about this. “ANYTHING” can happen “ANYWHERE” in the world, and within 5 minutes we have the names,ages, photos, Driver’s license, address, background information, family history, and links to any ‘LIVE VIDEO’.

I remember the nut who had a gun outside the White House.
F.R. posters had all the above info on the guy within 5 minutes.

YEP. NEWS when DRUDGE or NEWSBUSTERS or RUSH, or Dan RATHER, or.... picks up on

what they got off of FREE REPUBLIC.

[JohnD9207]

but didn’t CNN (which I am NOT a fan of) admit it was a mistake? If he was a plant, why admit it?

Because its better to have people think you made a harmless mistake than accuse you of doing something wrong.

CNN has interviewed the General before so there are no excuses.

[lookout88]

I prefer Duncan or Thompson. But.......whoever it is, it is.

[Laptop_Ron]

Good point.

[television is just wrong]

what on earth catalog is selling hillary nut crackers, NO JOKE.

[advance_copy]

Exactly right. This seems obviously to be a coordinated effort between CNN and Hillary Clinton's campaign. CNN only admitted the mistake after Bill Bennett called them out on the air shortly after the debate.

[UCANSEE2]

Here.

The Clinton Campaign announced that it filed its full list of 119 delegates and alternate delegates in Illinois, and six are openly LGBT. The Clinton Campaign filed to place Sen. Hillary Clinton on the Illinois primary ballot. It also filed its full list of Illinois delegates and alternates who have pledged they will support her if they attend the 2008 National Democratic Convention.

The LGBT delegates are: Malissa Rainey ( 2nd District ) ; Aimee A. Pine ( 5th District ) ; Tracey E. Smith ( 6th District ) ; Rocco Claps ( 6th District ) ; Jose M. Zuniga ( 9th District ) , and Gay E. Bruhn ( 13th District ) .

[umgud]

City councilman Thomas Trawler, who was to testify tomorrow morning in a federal racketeering case against his fellow councilmen, was found shot to death in his home this morning. City police speculate that he came home late last night and surprised a burgler..........

And this evening, a member of Hill’s gay steering committee was called upon by CNN to ask questions during the debate.........

[donaldo]

What do you guys expect from CNN (Clinton News Network)? It’d be the same on ABC (All Bill Clinton), CBS (Clinton Broadcasting System) and NBC (Nobody But Clinton). I’m certainly not surprised.
