I think they expunged it because the general was not the cool,charming,good-looking,physically fit,smooth,eloquent and bright person that the homosexual community prefers to use as representative of homosexuals.

Instead he was an old,disheveled,gravelly voiced,unattractive,inarticulate,grand standing bozo that asked a nonsensical question.

Furthermore,Cooper chose to prolong this poor speciman's minutes of "face time" by giving him the mike after the question had been dealt with quite adequately and the old coot went blithering on. I bet every gay and gay sympathizer got word to CNN to deep six the whole encounter.

If he had been appealing,they would have let it stand and toughed it out. As it was,it was to the Republicans benefit had they kept it. If Republicans were smart they would demand that it be put back in.

If I were a Democrat or a homosexual I would demand that Cooper be fired for making such a dumb,transparent move and aiding the enemy so to speak.

When Kerr read his bio/don’t-ask-don’t-tell question, I remember smelling BS but when Anderson Cooper went back to Kerr and asked whether his question had been answered that’s when my radar really went up. You don’t let the questioner get the last word. The questioner gets to ask a question and then shuts up. To do otherwise would require the same follow-up opportunity being afforded to all the other questioners (ie. plants!)

Morning after pill ... LOL. More likely CNN engaged in a little retroactive abortion, though.

"We are trying to focus mostly on questions where there are differences among these candidates."

The scary thing about CNN is they believe they are unbiased.

Yep, your statement nails it, that is the outrage.

A clear admission one rugmuncher concert master was had by another rump ranger. It was the modus operandi of Clinton operative. Cooper did what he was told. The Republicans should never set foot on a cnn set again.

I downloaded the two .wmv debate videos from CNN.com, and spent a long time trying to find this moment by fast-forwarding the video - now I know why I missed it. CNN took it out of the videos on cnn.com as well.

“If Republicans were smart they would demand that it be put back in.”

I’m sure that footage of the bumbling old queen will appear in future campaign materials, on the Republican side.

The farcical old fruit might become the Willie (pardon the pun) Horton of 2008.

Hunter had the right answer, Romney had not a clue but that’s understandable. He had no time to serve, except in France.

That’s not to mention that under the Reagan “We Ask, Don’t Join” he had to have lied about it when he was asked.

I don’t think it was the Repulican party; In the past both Romney and Guiliani have embraced normalizing sodomy. You can see the Romney gay rights enthusiasms on You Tube.

Did CNN also leave out the part where the "general dude" lectured our guys? That was really offensive.

We're tired of hearing our debates run by liberals, questions chosen by liberals, asked by liberals for the benefit of ginning up liberal donations...

Are Republican candidates so pu-_y whipped they allow themselves to be played for fools by every liberal news organization?

Backbone guys, show some backbone.

Turns out the “general” is an honorary title only. He retired as a Colonel.

Yes, and it probably would have been if he had been caught early in his career. He could probably even be brought up on charges now if they really wanted to. Won’t happen though. Too political.

So this guy was really a California National Guard Colonel. Another great job by CNN’s Anderson Pooper!
