Looks like Anderson Cooper had his own 'agenda' along with Hillary for setting this up. Also, just heard on local radio CNN actually paid him (The Gay Guy) to fly in to FL. for the debate. Can anyone confirm this?
Out’ Ranks the Top 50 Gays; Anderson Is No. 2

When New York did a "Gay Life Now" issue in 2001, only seven of the forty prominent New York gays asked to pose for the cover were willing. Those big shots may have been gay, and they may have been out, but it just wouldn't do for them to be gay and out on the cover of a magazine. "There was a time when the closet was a necessary safe haven," our pal Maer Roshan, who edited the issue, wrote in an angry 2,000-word essay. "But now, it exists as an anachronistic monument to shame. It's time for our public figures to stop hiding in there — and for journalists to stop helping them."
Six years and a month later, maybe at least that second part has come true. Here's a first glimpse at the cover of Out magazine's "50 Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America" issue.
Those are models holding Jodie Foster and Anderson Cooper masks on the cover. Neither, of course, would appear themselves.

Amen—if the Dems can reject Fox on “principle”, the Republicans should reject CNN from experience. CNN was given more of a chance by the Reps than Fox, and what a mistake. When are they ever going to learn?
Didn’t know most of the names on the list.
Gay men are all about No.2.
Having worked around kilns, large and small, I can see how that could happen..........
Yes, the finance guru........Out and proud..............
I muted the good general early on during his diatribe. It was obvious to me from the get-go that he appears to be a narcissist incapable of turning the mic over to someone else. He spoke longer on his own question than all the real csndidates combined. He seems to be enamored with his own voice.
He’s a one-issue democrat.
Tells you how much I follow Hollyweird.
They should have never done this debate with CNN.
Well, she might be “out” but I sure wouldn’t be “proud” of her...
Where is Fox’s boy, Shep?
Didn’t know about him either.
From the Michelle Malkin website: Digging out more CNN/YouTube plants: 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
Geffen might be considered number one, but he looks like number two, if you know what I mean.
(Tip o’ the hat to Sam Diamond (Peter Falk), “Murder by Death” 1976, http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/307963/more_favorites_comedy.html)
Keith Kerr is also NOT an Army General.
He was given an honorary but not federally recognized promotion as a retirement ceremony honor.
He was NEVER a federally recognized Army general. He can not even legally use the title outside the state of California.
This is an absolute outrage. Reminds me of 92’ when George Steponallus called in the special line to grill George Bush the Elder on Larry King.
Will Republicans DEMAND an apology? If they do not get one, will the Republicans show up at CNN again, with their tails between their legs?
What a weak bunch. Where is the integrity of the Republicans?
Watch the voters, boys. Voters will not support weakness any more!
Republicans candidates had better wake up, NOW! What the hell are republican candidates afraid of? The MSM wants them destroyed!
Idiots!!!!
Americans want leaders, not panderers!
That minx! Did she put you up to this?
LOL!
Great post. NY Magazine is becoming one of the best reads on the internet, a place to find lots of good stuff from other sources.
