Clinton Denies Role in Gays-in-Military Debate Question
June Kronholz reports on the presidential race.
Sen. Hillary Clinton was put on the defense by questions linking her campaign to retired Brig Gen. Keith Kerr, whose question on gays in the military briefly electrified last night’s Republican debate. Following the CNN/YouTube debate, moderator Anderson Cooper announced that bloggers were claiming that Kerr served on Clinton’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender steering committee, and quickly apologized for including his question.
Clinton’s campaign hotly denied that the question, posed in a YouTube video, was a “plant” by the campaign. “We didn’t do this, we had nothing to do with this guy, he was acting on his own,” spokesman Phil Singer said in an interview. Singer said he expected questions about the incident from “right-wing bloggers,” but not from news outlets as worthy as this one.
“There’s nothing here,” he added.
Kerr said he didn’t ask the question on the Clinton campaign’s behalf in a CNN interview this morning. He said he had only lent his name to the campaign and hadn’t given it any money. “This was a private initiative,” he said of his question. Still, it was an unwelcome diversion for the New York senator and Democratic front-runner as she heads into the final weeks before the Iowa caucus.
Kerr asked on video why the candidates thought that “American men and women in uniform are not professional enough to serve with gays and lesbians.” After answers by Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, Kerr, who was in the audience, was handed a CNN microphone and invited to comment on their response.

Gee, there’s a surprise.
‘I want you to listen to me...I...did not...select that queer....’
(chuckle)
It was having him in the audience and giving him a microphone to “comment” on the candidates that was a dead giveaway outrage. CNN disrupted their own debate with a left wing gay activist Hilary supporter.
Hehe. Hillary Clinton is a “congenital liar”.
Everybody knows that.
and this from the People who need to have the word “IS” defined to them.
Too late, Hillary!! The damage has been done, regardless of whoever was the source of the gay general’s appearance. Talk about a massive backfire! I hope Ubama and Edwards jump on this and RUN!!! Bwahahahahaha!!
Clinton throws the gay fake General under the bus. Cool.
Hillary never lies, so we must accept what she says.
Was this a Republican debate or the Keith Kerr Show?
A preview of the next 8 years? Get out and vote people!
You make an excellent point. If Hillary cannot control her own campaign, how could anybody expect her to be able to handle the White House? If she doesn’t know what her own people are doing on the campaign trail, how can she be trusted to know what her own people would be doing in her administration?
“There’s nothing here,” he added.
Didn’t they say that about Monica too? Seems to be their favorite response to every uncomfortable question.
And we all know that she always tells the truth!!!
A preview of the next 8 years? Get out and vote people!
Will be there but will not vote for Rudy. However the senators and another presidential candidate will be chosen. Can’t even begin to think about voting for a person who murders babies.

Hillary Clinton is a “con” “genital liar”...............
Bill Clinton, Impeached President, rapist and spouse of Ms. Clinton, it was Bill Clinton’s problematic (“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”) policy, which Congress rejected in 1993 that the retired General was referring to - but everyone knows what Bill clinton did.........
