I remember smelling BS but when Anderson Cooper went back to Kerr and asked whether his question had been answered thats when my radar really went up. I didn't watch the "debate", but I can't help but wonder, did Cooper fondle Kerr's crotch when he went back to massage Kerr's "question"?

I watched the 12 midnight-2am ET re-broadcast of the debate last night. The gay general was edited out. Unbelievable...

"We are trying to focus mostly on questions where there are differences among these candidates." Because there's just so much difference among these candidates on Don't Ask Don't Tell! (/sarcasm) The question never got to Rudy.

If he didnt come out of the closet until after he retired doesnt that mean he lied on documents when he entered the service? Of course he lied then just as he lied by omission by not revealing his participation in Hillary's campaign. I don't care that he was in for 43 years, his character is deeply flawed and it has little to do with his sexuality.
Here's an excerpt of a profile: "General Kerr retired on 1 June 1996 after 43 years of service to the United States and the State of California... / The Rev. Dr. Alvin Gomer, Episcopal priest and licensed psychologist, was his partner of 26 years. Dr. Gomer died in 2000."
Thus he was hooked up with Gomer from 1974 onward which would include retiring from the U. S. Army Reserve in 1986 with the rank of Colonel, his commission in the CA National Guard and later his promotion "to Brigadier General on 21 February 1991."

What the flaming General didn’t point out is that 99 out of 100 people separated from the military for being gay, are not really gay. Almost all of them are cases of heterosexual individuals wanting to get out of the service who raise their hands and say, “I recently realized I’m as queer as a football bat” and I request separation from the service.
They get an Honorable Discharge and walk away, often just after completing a couple years of very valuable technical training, but right before they would be assigned to a ship or deploying unit.

It never happened. Anyone who says they saw a gay General asking a debate question is delusional.
Actually it never did happen, since it turns out the "gay general" was actually not a general outside the boundaries of the state of California.

Well, he's not even a real general. He left the U.S. Army in 1960 as a 1st Looie, and then rose through the ranks of something called the
California State Military Reserve, which apparently is a back-up outfit to the California National Guard.

Fox and Friends is asking the question this morning as to whether the CNN debacle was a conspiracy or incompetence.
I am convinced it is both. They were obviously consipiring. This is borne out by simple reasoning. When one considers how many LEGITIMATE undecided conservatives had probably put their name into the hat to ask a question, and THIS MANY of the questioners turn out to be plants... it is a statistical certainty that it was intentional and that CNN was a willing participant.
It is also incompetence, borne out by the fact that they got caught.

It says a lot for the “General”’s ethical standards that he wormed his way into the debate and never set the record straight as to who he actually was. Clearly he is qualified to work in the Clinton campaign by his low regard for integrity and the truth.

It has been determined that this was all a hoax put together by talk radio and the vast right wing internet conspiracy. Those who watched it real time did NOT see any gay General. The rebroadcast by CNN clearly shows this. The facts cannot be denied. If it was on TV, it must be true.

Today (Nov 30) is the 14th anniversary of Bill Clinton signing Public Law No: 103-160 "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." The HRC is commemorating the event with 12,000 flags planted on The National Mall today, representing military personnel discharged since the law was enacted.
Coincidence? Not a chance.
