Abortion questioner is declared Edwards supporter (and a slobbering Anderson Cooper fan); Log Cabin Republican questioner is declared Obama supporter; lead toy questioner is a prominent union activist for the Edwards-endorsing United Steelworkers

Thanks, I’m at work and visiting there would probably not be a good thing.

The guy who asked the question about corn subsidies, Ted Faturos, is a former intern for Democrat Congresswoman Jane Harman.

David McMillan is a John Edwards fan, who asked why the Republican party doesn’t attract more African-Americans to it’s side. He has no love for President Bush’s Iraq policies.See why here: http://mrdavidmcmillan.com/operation-iraqi-nuts/

More on LeeAnn Anderson, the toxic toy questioner. From United Steel Workers - Media Advisory, USW International Conference

...""Our conference theme, "Women of Steel: Building Power, Taking Action", reflects the activist role of USW women," said USW Assistant to the President Leeann Anderson, who is also the conference chair. "Strong unions need women, and it is clear that women in every nation need strong unions. We will highlight the critical role women play in the USW, how society and governments are failing women and working families, and what actions we can take as trade unionists to build awareness and power for change."."....

..."Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, and Vancouver MP Libby Davies, Labour Critic for the New Democratic Party (NDP), will be two of the featured speakers..."

..."On Tuesday, Sept. 25, Edwards will speak, followed by former USW President Lynn Williams. US National Labor Committee Executive Director Charles Kernaghan and journalist Arianna Huffington will speak on Wednesday, Sept. 26."...

LOL. After you view the video, I agree it wouldn’t be a good idea. I sent the link to Michelle Malkin and Drudge.

You raise a good question. It was a GOP debate. They should have insisted on GOP researchers vetting the YouTube videos and accepting submissions only from Republicans.

This is the PRIMARY season. Democrats can’t vote for any of the GOP candidates, so why allow their questions ?

[dbacks]

[It’s not bias or incompetence... IT’S COLLUSION.]

Shouldn’t this be a violation of the campaign finance and FEC rules. It is incomprehensible to believe the DNC was not behind this and to use 2 hours of a cable network resources to smear Republicans must be a violation. I wish the namby-pamby republican-dickweeds would look into this and if I am right, go after them like a pit bull!

[ElkGroveDan]

I want to play too. Is there a link to the questioners somewhere?

I submit that CNN knows exactly what is going on and is cooperating.

I absolutely agree with you. I have worked on political campaigns before and I can tell you that this kind of stuff doesn’t get squeaked by.

If they shills aren’t vetted, they ought to be.

I’ll bet Cooper doesn’t get duped twice like this.

[janereinheimer]

Living on the left coast, I want to thank all the east coasters. When I get up in the morning, you all have all the news posted and ready to read. Thanks.

Big ditto! If it weren’t for Free Republic, where would we ever find the truth?

[lonevoice]

They need to report themselves as a 527 organization for Democrat causes.

Bottom line, that's exactly what should happen.

[Red Steel]

If they shills aren’t vetted, they ought to be.

Oh they were vetted by CNN alright.

CNN got exactly what they wanted.

[madison10]

I will assume you two didn’t listen to the show today and excuse your flaming ignorance.

If it weren’t for Glenn Beck there would be NO exposure of conservatism to the rest of the country from CNN.

[madison10]

I’ve got a pasture full of fertilizer for CNN’s plants. Wish there was some way I could send it to them.

We should all just send envelopes for of soil with a note saying: For your plants. We would have sent them fertilizer, but they seem to be full of it already.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

LOL, tell them, “Here’s a little bit of ‘flyover country’ for you.”

[UCANSEE2]

The DEMO Debate:

Players from the GLBT SLOW-PITCH SOFTBALL TEAM throwing LEFT-HANDED pitches....

-And the Dem Candidates only got one or two single base hits.

The REPUBLICAN Debate:

Pro-Baseball pitchers hired by the DEMS throwing fastballs and inside curveballs...

-And most of the REPUBS got on Base, Several hit HOMERUNS.

[My Favorite Headache]

The debate was so stacked it wasn’t even funny. It is scary that CNN will allow NO free speech with Republicans...no true Q&A..O’Reilly is going to own them tonight on this.

Here’s the Manhattan Beach “farmer” who was munching on corn(which on its face is silly since there are no farms in the Southern California Beach Cities area:

Note that he was an intern for Democrat Congresswoman Jane Harman:

” swear I heard “that’s enough” in the background, but I couldn’t tell if it was a candidate, or Cooper.

Anyone else hear that?”

I did. Sounded like Cooper’s voice and that is who I believed said it.

IIRC, Cooper had used that (or similar phrase) previously, meaning, “We got your question, now let me select a candidate to respond”

[UCANSEE2]

“Most of the questions were meant to embarrass or ridicule conservatives.”

AND YET, most of the candidates came out SMELLING LIKE ROSES with their answers. (Which probably sent HRC staff/CNN staff/YOUTUBE staff into fits of migraine headaches and PMS.

SCORE:
Republicans/Conservative websites - 1
Democrats/CNN/YOUTUBE/HRC+Staff/GLBT - 0
