How Embarrassing!
Now it turns out that the Hillary supporter wasn't the only Democrat "plant" in the group of questioners in last night's You Tube debate. Obama and Edwards supporters were also asking questions.
Look, there's no particular reason seriously to think that the candidates themselves "planted" the questioners. But what's indisputable is that it's a black eye for CNN to have allowed unvetted partisans, with less interest in obtaining answers to real questions than in trying to force an error on the part of a political opponent, to participate in a Republican debate.
But then again, isn't that what the MSM really is? What else is the press but a group of "partisans, with less interest in obtaining answers to real questions than in trying to force an error on the part of a political opponent"?
Can you even imagine the hysterical press meltdown that would be happening if Fox News Channel, either intentionally or inadvertantly, had pulled a stunt like this on Democrats?

Carol, one word comes to mind, hypocrisy. The MSM and the left think they can get away with it and they do. And in regard HC, she is a protected species.
Every Sunday the media, in the form of Tim Russert, Chris Wallace and George Stephanopoulos toss nice big softballs to Republican visitors to their TV shows.
NY Times and Washington Post reporters never challenge Republicans on anything they say. They do little more than transcribe Republican talking points.
If a Republican faces a few uncomfortable questions from partisan questioners at a TV debate, that's as tough as it ever will get. Please don't tell me that's too much for someone hoping to be President of the United States.
