Anderson Cooper Lied About Clinton Plant at GOP Debate

Rush Limbaugh is reporting today that CNN's Anderson Cooper knew the gay General who turned out to be a Clinton plant at the GOP debate, after all.

You may remember that in the aftermath of the discovery that Mrs. Clinton and several Democratic candidates had actually planted questioners at the Republican debate, Mr. Cooper denied that he or CNN had any prior knowledge that the General worked for Mrs. Clinton.

Yet a caller to the Limbaugh radio program today, a person who was chosen by YouTube to ask a question at the debate, stated that out of the entire group of chosen questioners, Cooper singled out the General immediately in the crowd and stated, 'Nice to see you, General.'

Thus, Anderson Cooper's claim of total ignorance in the entire matter is highly suspect at best and at least a barefaced lie on one point--the reporter knew who the gay General was, despite his denials.

The question is, did Cooper know that the General worked for the Clinton campaign? Many media observers say that it would be nearly impossible for CNN and its anchor NOT to know.

As we expected, the oozing, dripping sleaze from the Clinton Ladies Intervention Team keeps oozing on.

Oh, and add Anderson Cooper to the Clinton Ladies Intervention Team.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 11/29/07

Focusing on guns and politics, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:

Michelle Malkin is reporting today that the Clinton plant at the GOP debate is only the tip of the iceberg. Edwards and Obama planted questioners as well. Thus, CNN has basically declared itself a purveyor of a hoax and has joined the sleaze-infested ranks of the Hillary machine:

BOMBSHELL! CLINTON PLANTED QUESTION AT GOP DEBATE

Overshadowing the issues discussed during Wednesday night's GOP debate is the stunning revelation that Hillary Rodham Clinton planted a questioner at the debate. CNN's Anderson Cooper quickly responded to the discovery by saying that neither he nor the network were aware that the questioner worked for the Clinton campaign.

Thus, CNN's ineptitude and bias, and Mrs. Clinton's sleaze overshadow almost everything else.

A question was taken from a member of the audience at the debate concerning the U.S. military's policy of 'don't ask don't tell' regarding gays. But it turns out that the questioner, Keith Kerr, a retired Colonel in the U.S. Army and a retired Brigadier General of the California National Reserve, is a member of Hillary Rodham Clinton's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Americans for Hillary Steering Committee.

Kerr is also part of a filming crew that is attempting to overturn the policy of 'don't ask don't tell.'

Hence, the oozing, dripping sleaze of the Clinton campaign comes staring American voters in the face as she has been caught red-handed, once again, engaging in 'question planting.'

As for Anderson Cooper, he admitted in the final moments of CNN's post-debate commentary that Kerr was a member of the Clinton campaign, and had he known this fact he would have disclosed it.

Pardon me, Mr. Cooper, but don't you mean you would have disallowed the 'plant' to ask a question at all? That would have been the only honorable and ethical thing to do.

But of course, when your network is practically the television division of the Clinton Campaign, why would we expect you to disqualify a questioner who is there under false pretenses, particularly when that questioner works for Hillary Clinton?

And thus, my friends, we are treated to yet another example of Hillary's sleaze and CNN's bias.

As for the debate, so what that Rudy and Mitt had a knock-down, drag-out over immigration? These guys are practically a part of the angel Gabriel's choir when compared to the corruption exhibited by CNN and Mrs. Clinton, Bill's wife.

CONFIRMED! Student Says CNN Forced Her to Ask Frivolous Question

As expected, it has been confirmed today that some of the questions posed to the Democratic Presidential candidates in Thursday night's debate in Las Vegas were planted by CNN. It is not clear to what degree, if any, Mrs. Clinton had to do with the planted questions.

We do know that the audience at the debate was stacked in favor of Mrs. Clinton. We know she has planted questions in the past during her personal appearances. We know that CNN's commentators without exception praised her debate performance.

The student in question, Maria Luisa, the UNLV student who asked Mrs. Clinton if she preferred 'pearls or diamonds,' wrote in her MySpace entry this morning that CNN forced her to ask the frivolous question.

Her original question, which she had planned in advance, pertained to Yucca Mountain. But when the time came for her question, the CNN 'reporter' pulled the plug on the question and told her to go with the frivolous question.

Both CNN and MSNBC have been notorious for asking at least one, if not more, stupid question unworthy of a serious debate during the events they have aired. Thus far, only Fox News has succeeded in producing a debate that was on a par worthy of a major, serious discussion of the issues facing the nation. The trouble is, the Democrats refuse to appear on Fox-sponsored debates, choosing instead to go with their advocates at CNN and MSNBC, both of which have dubious reputations.

In addition, Ms. Luisa also maintains that CNN required that all questions from each participant be submitted for pre-approval.

As expected, CNN caved to Mrs. Clinton's demands, despite the network and the Wolfpack's (Blitzer and his pack of wolves) staging an apparent ambush at the beginning of the debate. Once that was out of the way, the entire thing was 'The Hillary Show,' complete with cheers and applause from the so-called 'undecided voter' audience and the jeers leveled at other candidates such as John Edwards.

CNN's credibility as a news organization has been teetering on the edge of extinction for years. News story after news story, reported by non-mainstream media sources, have blown the whistle on CNN's penchant for slanting its news and engaging in outright deception in reporting.

With Thursday night's debate, the network has just about doomed itself to tabloid status, deserving to be relegated to the ash-heap of untrustworthy and unreliable sources of news.

Planting questions in what is supposed to be a serious and honorable discussion of the issues facing our nation is a most despicable practice. It is to be condemned harshly.

Both CNN and Hillary Clinton should from now on be on notice that the electorate is watching closely, not because we like her but because we don't trust her or her mouthpieces in the mainstream media such as CNN.
