Why is a Hillary Clinton Campaign Member Asking Questions at a Republican Debate?
So, the fellow who just asked the Republican candidates about Don't Ask, Don't Tell, retired Brigader General Keith Kerr, is a member of Hillary Clinton's campaign for the Presidency.
It's probably also worth asking who put a seventy-four year-old guy up to asking a question on YouTube.
(7:42PM) - Welcome NRO readers!
I think that my opinion of this is summed up by Richelieu over at the Weekly Standard:
What a depressing debate. CNN's long slide into mediocrity accelerates. Is this what running for president of the greatest democracy in the world has become? Standing in front of CNN's corporate logo in a hall full of yowling Ron Paul loons and enduring clumsy webcam questions from Unabomber look-a-likes in murky basements?
Which, further, reminds me of the quote I've been hammering home as of late:
"Under a democratical government, the citizens exercise the powers of sovereignty; and those powers will be first abused, and afterwards lost, if they are committed to an unwieldy multitude."

Pfft. It doesn't matter who this general is. He could be Al Gore's personal friend for all I care. Republicans are wrong on this issue and I wanted to see them actually address it. But they really didn't.
Very disappointing.
I dunno if it's a plant by Hillary the motivation of the person asking does become a major issue.
You got a shout out from NRO online's "The Corner!" Props, dude!
After further thought....haggs I wouldn't disagree with the asking as long as they disclosed that the person asking was on a Hillary steering cmte. Disclosure would have been enough.

Hey Haggs,
Hate to break this to you, but "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was a policy of Bill Clinton's administration. Saying Republicans are "on the wrong side on this" is a bit silly when it's a policy created by a Democrat administration.
