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.

Look for a Clinton operative at CNN involved with the selection of questions.
Clinton Inc has infiltrated the MSM with moles.
A Clinton lawyer was at the Enquirer dishing dirt on Edwards.
Clinton’s campaign hotly denied that the question, posed in a YouTube video, was a “plant” by the campaign.....Sure! and snowbirds fly in hell.
Of course he was a Hillary plant. Exposing this is not helping Hillary. The big loser was CNN.
I can’t recall?
Already done.
Enquirer says Edwards had affair as wife fought cancer By Herald staff
Thursday, October 11, 2007 -
The National Enquirer is reporting that Democratic presidential candidatehad an affair with a former campaign worker while his wife Elizabeth was battling breast cancer.
The newspaper cited friends of the “other woman” and qualified its report saying “if proven true,” it could devastate the campaign. An Edwards spokesman told the Enquirer the allegations are “false, absolute nonsense.” The Enquirer said the woman refused repeated requests for comment.
Hillary is so devious she not only plants questioners in her own “townhall meetings,” she plants them in Repubican debates.
BINGO.
“Clinton denies”....seems Like Ive heard that song before.
co-genital liar too! ;)
They're now getting caught...finally.
Ah, the old-time Clinton refrain. And the folks who taped Newt were just "concerned citizens." And the FBI files were just a silly "bureaucratic SNAFU." And the guys who smeared the late Henry Hyde (RIP) were independent jounalists who just happened on the story at a purely coincidental time. Better get used to it, folks - this is what the next Clinton administration is going to look like and we're all just rightwing haters for pointing it out.
I count 3 Plants so far. The General, The Abortion Questioner, and The Union Questioner. There may be another
There have been hundreds over the years.
Hillary’s biggest problem is that she has NO credibility.
I refuse to watch debates but I’m curious if the plant’s question did any kind of damage to anybody. I assume that every Republican candidate opposes gays in the military.
Right. Like they’d admit it.
