From Professional to Malicious

Media cameras recently caught a very telling “wink” during a Q&A period with presidential hopeful Hillary (last name not needed, kind of like Madonna). The “wink” was given by a questioner to a fellow audience member to indicate that the questioner successfully had asked a certain question that intentionally had been “planted” by the Clinton campaign, this one about… yawn… ‘global warming’ — as if we hadn’t hear enough ad nauseum on the subject.

hillwink.gifWhile Hillary later was shocked… yes shocked!… about the planted question and expressed plausible deniability of her knowledge of the trick, the usually pliable media offered a surprising bit of push-back about the incident. But since it was a Democrat that was involved, and since it still is just primary season, they allowed the tempest to blow over because it obviously was just some low-level operative who had planted the question, and obviously he/she had been fired over this horrible stain on the pristine record of Democrats in political campaigns.

Then in the November 28 CNN/YouTube Republican debate in Florida, several more “planted” question came up that exposed the way that the Democrats attempt to stack the political cards in their favor every time and every place, never quite learning the lesson from the last time. And the time before. And before.

Lesson? What lesson?

After CNN earlier in the Florida debate had noted that a conservative anti-tax questioner was connected to an anti-tax political group, a retired military brigadier general named Keith Kerr asked via a YouTube replay on a big screen in the debate hall a highly-charged question about gays in the military. When Kerr, who is gay himself, then miraculously showed up in the live CNN audience that night and continued his pointed questioning, there seemed to be something rotten in Denmark, and another Democrat black-bagger ended up being revealed.

Kerr, it turns out, is a member of Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender for Hillary, an activist group. And he wondered in his original question if the American military were “professional” enough to serve alongside openly-gay soldiers, questioning the validity of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. And this question should have sounded alarm bells all over America, because the word “professional” is a multifaceted adjective that can suggest an array of meanings.

“Professional” can mean that a person is upright, formal, correct and adheres to the rules, which surely applies to our men and women in uniform. And whether they wish to serve alongside gays has nothing to do with their ability to serve their country. It is a complex personal, moral, ethical and religious question that many homosexual activists do not comprehend.
At the other end of the spectrum, “professional” can mean that a person simply is very good at what they do, even if it is a “professional” killer whose job happens to be illegal, immoral and all the rest.

Kerr, on the other hand, could be said to be playing a highly malicious, and thoroughly un-professional, game himself. And so was CNN, which obviously was in on the gag in that Kerr ended up in the live audience. Because there was something wholly untruthful about a planted Democrat political activist posing as an “undecided Republican voter” from among which the YouTube questions were allegedly selected.

But this is hardly an isolated incident, and certainly reflects decades of such incidents all over the Democrat party from the corrupted precincts of Chicago in the 1960 Kennedy victory, to extended polling hours in heavily-Democrat St. Louis in 2004 in order to try and “tip” Missouri into the Kerry column. Other examples in the CNN debate include:

  • A woman who questioned the candidates on abortion was a known John Edwards supporter.
  • A “gay Republican” questioner was supporting Obama.
  • A “concerned mother” asking about lead in toys was a union activist who certainly would be seeking to sully the reputation of imported goods.
  • A questioner about ethanol once had worked for a liberal Democrat congresswoman.>/li>

And on and on.

Undecided Republicans?

Heck, this is just what we know. Imagine what we don’t. It is frightening to think about.

CNN/YouTube debate host Anderson Cooper tried to seem “professional” when he indicated that the Kerr incident was “something certainly unknown to us, and had we known that, would have been disclosed by us.”

So how did Cooper’s people manage to magically pick the same man out of the crowd after asking a very un-Republican question? Was he not suspicious? Who surrounds him?

If Fox News or Rush Limbaugh had pulled such a stunt on behalf of the GOP, it would have been splashed all over. But Limbaugh and Fox never get this type of negative coverage because they are well-supported in their coverage of events. Were they not, you’d hear the media indignation galaxies away. But you don’t.

Fortunately, the Kerr fiasco has received quite a bit of coverage because even the all-mighty media can’t recover this fumble for their Democrat/CNN friends. Somebody, somewhere in the media still has a wee conscience. It will be interesting to see how long this storm lasts before the moguls at CNNABCCBSNewYorkTimes Inc. find a way to shift the spotlight to Rudy’s love life or Romney’s Mormonism, which are minor in comparison to this scandal that goes to the very heart of our electoral system.

It always is interesting to watch the Democrats prep for battle whenever their power is threatened. Remember the army of lawyers at the ready in the 2006 election if the Democrats had lost, all fully briefed and prepared to charge the courts with massive “proof” of voter-machine failure in Ohio, Florida and the rest? Yet with the Democrat victory, they simply melted away to savor their victory.

The “wink” that we caught at the Hillary Q&A was much more than we Republican hayseeds can ever get our arms around. It was not a “wink” from one person to another, but a big, cosmic wink from the “professional” political organizers in the Democrat party who are up to the tricks that the rest of us have been lulled into believing are just a few harmless errors in the heat of campaign.
But far from it. The template here is the one that we have witnessed for decades. These “professionals” are the wrong kind, like the Chicago Mafia that assured John F. Kennedy’s election in 1960, seating a national leader in perhaps the most noted case of campaign malice in American history.

It is important to note which political party committed that act. And it is our responsibility as Republicans to make sure that this type of behavior is called out each and every time. We ignore it at our own peril.

    If anyone actually believes Hillary was unaware of the planted question, I have a bridge for sale.
