As it turns out, there were actually a number of Democratic Party plants among the questioners at the debate. Michelle Malkin has a breakdown at her web site: http://michellemalkin.com/2007/11/29/digging-out-the-cnnyoutube-plants-abortion-questioner-is-edwards-supporter/

Not only do they plant questioners at their own debates (there were at least 6 Democratic operative questioners represented as “uncommited voters” at the Blitzer Democratic debate), now they’re planting them, apparently with the willfull cooperation of CNN at Republican debates, too.

Wrong, Jaxebad. If he was a private citizen he would have the right. As an operative of the Clinton campaign he does not. That is over the line and is nothing more than a dirty trick. If the same thing had been done to the Democrats, I rather suspect the howling outrage would reach the level of pain threshold.

This is a complete and utter failure on the part of CNN and a stone-cold setup by the Clinton campaign.

And I think it was a serious overplay of a hand. People will not be amused by this.

I think that should be “California State Military Reserve”.

Not really part of the United States Military, strictly a State militia.

He retired from the U. S. Army Reserve in 1986 with the rank of Colonel and was commissioned in the California State Military Reserve (California National Guard) on 15 March 1986, where his assignments were Inspector General and later, Chief of Staff. He was appointed Commanding General, Northern Area Command, CSMR, with headquarters at Alameda Naval Supply Depot, Alameda, CA and promoted to Brigadier General on 21 February 1991. He held this position until reassigned to State Headquarters on 31 July 1995. General Kerr retired on 1 June 1996 after 43 years of service to the United States and the State of California.

You know what, in the big picture, the nondisclosure of support for Clinton isn’t a big deal in the big picture. What’s more important is that Kerr deserves the right to ask this question; he earned it. He is in the right, and Hunter/McCain/Huckabee/Romney are all in the wrong.
