Scarborough: "Total Crap" CNN Didn't Know That Debate Question Came From Clinton Campaigner

Like Rudy and Romney going after each other over immigration last night at the GOP debate, MSNBC was taking some jabs at rival CNN this morning on the issue of the gay questioner who turned out to be a member of Hillary Clinton's campaign.

"Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough scoffed at the notion that no one at CNN was aware of retired Brigadier General Keith Kerr's involvement with the Clinton campaign.

What mainstream media bias? Who us?

There is no way CNN did not know that Colonel Kerr worked for the Clinton Campaign. I can believe the others may have slipped through but not Kerr.
I will give credit to the Republicans for even appearing on CNN. The Dems are too cowardly to appear on FOXNEWS yet we are expected to believe they'll stand up to our enemies around the globe.

Hey the 50 people who watch Joe's show agree with him. He is a legend in his own mind. Catch how about 10 times an hour he recounts how he was,, wait for it, IN CONGRESS. Big whoop dumbass. The guy who was Gopher on Love Boat made it there as well. Jack Out.

How absurd. We have to protect the republicans from questions about their bigotry?

Ha!

Envy, envy, envy from these pencil-dicked old sexless white men and their shrews. And,of course, bigotry raises money: big business.

Before Hillary's hit man asked the question
no one knew Republicans were a bunch a flaming homos.

It says more about Hillary that she has to play
the gay card, than it says about Republican.

It says "Hillary has nothing on the issues" but
CNN will call you a homophobe unless you vote for her.

Why doesn't Hillary pick Leiberman for VP so she can call Republican anti-semitic too.

That should distract from her Health Insurance Scam.

Mostly I don't enjoy the sight of feces hanging from traffic signals, awnings, studios, and politicians, but I hope I live long enough to see the sh*t hit the fan with this joe, a john for pimps. When he implodes, there's gonna be crap everywhere. That is why I am opposed to his constipation.

I think it was great - this guy cornered the repugs and forced them to state their position. Isn't that what debates are all about?

Hillary or no Hillary - it's good when the repugs have to come out with the truth. This is something they aren't very good at.

Just think for a moment if that was true, CNN didn't know. Does that mean CNN is off the hook for being so completely ignorant about a General and politics that it didn't know. It's there job to know and learn everything about the game they report on. This one was easy. If all you're doing is reading questions without understanding where and the agenda they are coming from-what good are you

My god - cut the bullcrap Scarborough -- you are such a f**king repiglican tool.

Not one of you BS Reich-wing flunkies has any intellectial honesty or any moral backbone. You've got to constantly suck repiglican - uh - yeah - that.

Of course CNN knew, just as all DNC operatives follow and obey their instructions. Just as Kerr was a Clinton operative, Yasmin from Huntsville is a former CAIR intern, the young "undecided person" Journey, abortion questioner is an Edwards supporter. Adam Florzak asked a question on Social Security. It turns out that Florzak quit his job with Caterpillar to work with Dick Durbin on Social Security reform. Then there was Mark Strauss, who pleaded with Ron Paul to run as an Independent. It turns out he's a Richardson supporter. Brown shirt, lockstep...march on. The greatest threat to our democracy is the eroding of our rights. Freedom of the press is paramount. We no longer have that, other than the indepent free press of the internet bloggers.

Wolf Blitzer, Nic Robertson, and Michael Ware are defeatist war criminals. The feeble debate questions pale in comparison to the seditious reporting from CNN on Iraq.

without even wasting my time reading the article, I just want to say that Scarborough's FACE is total crap.

Why is the beady whacko on television? Oh yeah, the pinheads who hire people like him stink.

What am I not getting here? Why would the Clinton campaign plant a questioner to ask about Don't Ask, Don't Tell when it's a very unpopular policy among gay people that we can thank her husband for and that cannot be repealed except by a strongly Democratic controlled congress that would have to show a great deal more courage on military matters than they're known for. Or are Republicans just trying to deflect the fact that they're willing to discriminate against even the most patriotic citizens and maintain a policy now opposed by the majority of Americans in order to keep their bigotted religious-right base happy?

The story is not about the media hosts. It's OK, because these folks are just exposing themselves for the buffoons that they are.
Ohg.

Frankly, what the Republican Party looked like in this debate is a bunch of whack jobs — gun-licking, Jesus-frothing, gay bashing, Confederate flag-worshipping, torture-friendly whack jobs. So it was a pretty accurate reflection of the GOP.
