Also: CNN reportedly excised Kerr’s question from the rebroadcast of the debate in the wee hours of the morning.
Looks like they’ve got a lot more weeds to pull.

Rusty prolly thinks 30’s initials are POS
Rusty just in case you are not familiar with the Uniform Code of Military Justice or the Manual for Courts Martial the following link to Article 125 (Sodomy) should explain why homosexual behavior is a crime in the Military:
http://usmilitary.about.com/od/punitivearticles/a/mcm125.htm
By the way if BJ Clinton was held to the same rules when he was Commander-In-Chief as those he commanded he would have been guilty of violating Article 125 as well as Article 134-2 (Adultery):
http://usmilitary.about.com/od/punitivearticles/a/mcm1342.htm
Don’t even get me started on the implications of good order and discipline. At this time “don’t ask don’t tell” established by Clinton continues to work. You out yourself you are out of the Military with a General Discharge. I know the UCMJ pretty good when active duty I read more than one offender their rights prior to an investigation to any infraction of Military Law.
Thanks, Soap! Anderson Blooper. I am curious as to how this lofa has ginned up so much credibility in the media.
I saw one of his pieces on Cornball News Network while standing in an airport.
The lead in to his program suggested I was about to behold the coming of the Messiah. What gives? It was the limpest journalistic piece I’d seen since Jerry Rivers walked into Capone’s “vault”.
More suitable for MNN: Meathead News Network. (God bless ya Awchee.)
Time for a sammich.
You’re right OldGuy. The military is about working as a
cohesive unit and obeying orders and most gays just do not want to be like the next guy and next guy. Of all of the gays I have known in my lifetime and there have been a lot, this has always been true. Some of
these guys were in the military and were eventually
let go because they, in one way or another, would not
conform.
I am so tired of hearing, “I support the troops but not
the war.” If you support the troops, you must support the war, at least in funding and materiels.
Otherwise, you are not supporting the troops, you
are killing them more surely than the enemy with
their ieds.
I could give a rat’s arse whether gays have rights to marriage or not.
Since I am divorced, marriage is not something I am either for or against.
I care about illegals.
Let’s focus on THAT issue.
Bear???
I think you should be a comedian OR a writer.
Your posts are hilarious! Thanks for the humor!
Gayle, look me up on Townhall blogs under Power of
One Vote. Mostly about illegals.
I heard a comedian say that if you don’t want gays to
have sex, let them get married. I guess this is why
Libs are pushing gay marriage?
RANT WARNING RANT WARNING RANT WARNING
Oh, but Boomer, don’t you know not all “homosexuals” perform sodomy.
I’m not saying that they all do. But it is tres chic now in activist circles I have been in groups with, for homosexuals to go out of their way to claim they don’t practice sodomy.
It’s like the popular notion that older homosexuals don’t have homosexual sex with underage people of the same gender.
/sarc on Only heterosexuals do that. /sarc off
And when it comes to sodomy homosexual advocates will say “More heterosexuals do than homosexuals.”
And that is where heterosexuals who can own it say: “At least I am not trying make my civil rights depend on my sexual activities.”
It’s the new “celibacy” sham in America.
Whateva.
Like the Islamo Fascists who want society to turn on sharia conventions and laws, the homosexual agenda is to make “gay” issues the standard on which society turns.
They are a faction about which the Founding Fathers warned.
The test any of cRusty’s arguments for “gay” (homosexual) “rights” seems to fail is to be able to explain how homosexual marriage serves a greater good.
But of course, we live in a country where there is a concerted effort now to prove Jesus was bi-sexual. Next, “God is Gay”.
Barf.
To homosexuals who cannot find relief under the current protection under the law, and want something better—
Create your own homosexual society. (And I am not talking about a district in some lame city on which you’ve overrun the City Council. Go fight for some terra firma.)
Establish your own nation state (will involve killing and fighting).
And then write your own history.
Until then, your sexual practices make you a minority WITHOUT STANDING unless you can prove that this and this alone adds value to society relative to the greater good.
And just because I disagree with you doesn’t mean it is a case of “phobia”. It means I have come to an understanding why this Nation exists and why your lame and pathetic civil rights arguments (as supported by the anti-American ACLU) do not hold sway over the US constitution.
*Claps and bows in Bear’s direction.
gayle #107: Muchee See Moss Gar-cias, Moo-hey-day!
I just returned from our moon loony school down the street where they are celebrating “Spanish for All Kids” at lunch today (No American Flag in the Lunch room, but there is a Mexican Flag)
OY VAY!
Yo quiero taco bell.
Agree! Agree! (bows in Bear’s direction)…Obfuscation
can always be counted on when the argument is not
going to fly on it’s own.
Gay marriage is no more a civil right than illegals having civil rights. Both are specious arguments. I do
not ask for favors in the rights department because I
have red hair. Same thing.
No questions on taxes, health care, education, or Iran, but a question on whether or not the candidates support a Clinton policy. I’m glad CNN understands what the 2008 election is all about… or rather, I’m glad CNN is redefining what the 2008 election is about, since the dems are on the wrong side of all the big issues right now, better try and trip up Mitt on something no primary voter cares about.
Image: Bear1909 in tuxedo incognito down in the chamber pit at Carnegie Hall, accepting applause from the gallery while he aims his cello bow at cRusty in the front row. THHHHoooooink!
Dude, wassup?
Clinton Policy: Use the sink, stupid!
Maybe it is because I have spent all my time in Combat Arms units, but I have met no people in my time that were inclined to support “gays” (mostly we use stronger words) working around us. If Rusty wants no infantry, armor, cavalry, artillery, aviation, or special forces, keep pushing your dream. Twinkletoes does not need to become a trained (but restrained) killer. He also has no business living amongst red-blooded American Soldiers in all-male units in either the field or garrison. This does not make me a “homophobe”. It is not fear I feel towards them.
But you would ask for the same treatment towards you as someone with Black hair?
I don’t want to defend Rusty here, and I won’t, but I think we need to clarify between saying special treatment and equal treatment.
In this case, the issue is whether or not gays in the military deserve equal treatment. It would seem to me that they do. Maybe I’m wrong about this, since I’ve never served, but I’m pretty sure that a straight person in the military would get busted for inappropriate conduct just as quickly as a gay person would. And if a straight person was flaunting whatever lifestyle choice they might have in every one else’s face, to the detriment of unit cohesion, he’d get nailed on that too.
“The British Navy was built on rum and sodomy.” –Sir Winston Churchill, Lord of the Admiralty
So, look where it’s got them?
Easy there turbo. The last thing you need is some yahoo thinking you’re serious about offing someone who thinks differently from you and then goes around the leftospehere hollering about how awful we commentors are.
When I was active I knew of more straights getting
busted out for their “inappropriate” sexual behavior
than I did of the gays.
I would ask for equal rights with people with black
hair only if the rights were those I was entitled to.
In theory, you should be entitled to the same right. But you seem to suggest that it’s possble that people with Black hair be entitled to some rights that you are not entitled to, in which case you deserve more rights, or they deserve fewer. Either way, there is a discongruity that would need to be address.
FYI, I don’t think that this applies to gays in the military, I’m just being a prick about semantics.
Why stop at gays in the military. How about the transgendered or cross dressers or other ‘qeer’ lifestyles. Tell me Rusty.
questionable, suspicious
differing in some odd way from what is usual or normal
eccentric, unconventional
mildly insane : touched : absorbed or interested to an extreme or unreasonable degree : obsessed
If a gay soldier were to sexually harass one of his colleagues or an inferior, I’d push for that person to get discharged…same goes for a straight service member.
I think one of the problems with this debate is the assumption that gays are unable to handle themselves around other men. Which is stupid. I work around women - sometimes attractive ones! - without feeling the want or need to make a come on. I assure you that gays are just as capable of this restraint.
Well than they’re certainly capable of following the don’t ask don’t tell policy. So what’s the problem?
We’re long past homosexuality merely being a “lifestyle.” It’s the core of one’s being. It’s what that person is. Lifestyle implies choice.
And I have no problem with transgendered or cross dressers in the military. The latter would prove especially difficult since it’s basically the same uniform. But if a dude wants to wear ladies underwear while he’s protecting out interests abroad, what do I care?
God decided that I did not have one right that people
with black hair have..to be out in the sun without
burning to a crisp in a very, very short time. Otherwise
I find the whole thing a little specious in that I do not
think the gay marriage issue is a matter of civil rights
and there is such a thing as civil unions, etc to take
care of property rights and healthcare. Frankly, I have
never known a gay that was that worked up about
being married but have known a few lesbians that are.
Rusty, I think what has happened is you have hijacked this thread to your view of why gays should be in the military as one who hasn’t served but feels it’s best to tell the rest of us why your opinion is so much more important than anyone else’s on this board (now you want crossdressers?)
. This thread is about the idiocy of CNN and their stupid youtube debate last night and the plants they put in the debate not about your new favorite thing to talk about-gays in the military.
Interesting the being straight is not at the core of a person’s being. In fact if you asked most people to describe 5 things about themeselves, straight probably isn’t one of them.
The military is about cohesion, not about having each one of a person’s traits recognized as special. It ain’t kindergarden.
Turbo? Methinks the moderating function works just fine on this blog.
Got some news for you: the leftosphere is hollering anyway.
Like grandDad used to say: “Joke em if they can’t take a….”
But why give em any additional ammo when they’re running out of it?
“Moderators allow death threats to dissenters on MichelleMalkin.com–homophobia turns in to murderous rage”
Any other softballs you care to give them?
Bear + coffee = TURBO!
So Bear, you had to go to Taco Day at school huh?
Did they check parents for the green card?
bear..as always well done….
soapie…as always….fuuuuunnny.
Still just a problem with the ONE plant Rusty? Make that the NONE plant as the rebroadcast took him out.
What do you think of the CNN cover-up on this one? How much more footage hit the cutting floor?
Try and answer this one without mentioning gays - please.
Hey feebz. As always, observant!
Thought I might have killed you with the AJ thingy. I see you have recovered!
Taylork: they’ve gotten to you and turned you into a softball. end of story.
Soap: No coffee for Beardawgz today.
Gayle: I wrote a promo packet for the African American heritage celebration in the fall….14 pages. Cost to translate it into Spanish? $400 bucks.
And they speak english.
Feebz: Thanks!
Soap,
I wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear that CNN had
announced that this debate has yet to take place.
Nice to see Rusty getting his just desserts.
No infighting…
Bear as usual - you knock it out of the park. It’s going, going and it’s gone!!
The BEST debate recap on the planet
HERE
The appropriate thing to do would be to air the question and debate with a disclaimer that this questioner works for Sen. Clinton and that CNN apologizes or the error.
Completely scrubbing it is almost as bad as having him ask the question in the first place.
That was a good recap Soap. Made as much sense as
any I’ve heard so far.
It was awful, they forced me to wear tinfoil hats and watch loose change over and over again
Rusty,
Good to see you’re back on track. I would venture a guess that you saw no problem with what happend last night (CNN planting Dimocrap questions) but would be “outraged” if they had done the same thing with Republican questions when the dim bulbs had their debate. I would also venture a guess you didn’t see the “love fest” with Wolfie and the crew a few weeks ago where it was also discovered a female was another Clinton plant. Funny how things happen that way in that lying, sack of s, network isn’t it?
Forgot, just heard Michelle on Gibson’s call in show. Outstanding as usual!
Anderson is a pretty serious journalist though, isn’t he?
Travis, I think they let old Anderson out to dry on this one. I think he tends to be a pretty fair guy (by CNN standards). I’m not sure if he had any role in picking the “questions”.
Rusty,
You libs always do the same thing - no outrage, no demand for some kind of investigation, just “they should not have done it BUT” and off you go attacking republicans again, as though this outrage is just a footnote and not the headline story that it is.
Now, Rusty, show us how honest you are: demand that the Democrat Presidential candidates debate on the Fox News channel for balance.
The rest of you/us: I suggest we essentially ignore this guy Rusty. We have better things to do with our sharp analysis and creative solution-making than waste all this time and brainpower on yet another liberal Plant.
Terri, according to an interview by Mary Katherine Ham, at townhall.com yesterday AC had a significant role in picking the questions. it may still be available to view.
Can anyone direct me to a transcript of this debate? Please? : )
Rusty since you are a Hillary supporter can you tell us her plans since she won’t give specific answers to hard questions? What are her plans to stop Muslim fanatics? What is her plan to stop immigration at the border? What is her plan for the Dept of Defense? She speaks so much what is wrong but has no alternatives to the war on terror or does she just choose to go Sharia soon? You tell us please. And yes why did are the Demo candidates scared of Fox News?
They don’t have any solutions. They are vested in the defeat and failure of the United States and her individual citizens at every level. If we are individually successful and responsible we don’t need government handouts, social security, gov’t healthcare, unemployment, regulations or oversight. If we are successful as a nation we don’t need to change course, try a new way, view the Constitution as a “living document” or any other liberal clap trap. It is historically clear that democrat plans rely on real or perceived crises either occurring or being created by the liberal politicians or their willing collaboraters, the MSM. They only thing they fear is a prosperous, healthy, proud, happy America.
Caught in the lie, and was not liking it not one bit. Look at how many times he was blinking. The “Plausible Deniability” was in plain view for all to see. Just beautiful.
