		<description>&lt;i&gt;Maybe one of you hysterical leftists can tell us when in the video the guy idenitified himself by party?&lt;/i&gt;

If by hysterical you mean that we&#039;re laughing our hot leftist asses off at scared shitless morons like you that are flooding the internet with complaints about the  questioners while paying no attention at all to the answers the GOP candidates gave then yeah, fuckface, we&#039;re hysterical. Take a step back, put on some clean underwear and reflect upon how gutless you all sound. And learn to spell &quot;identified&quot; while you&#039;re at it.</description>

		<description>If we have reached a point where an elector cannot ask a question in a debate because they are apparently affiliated with an &quot;incorrect&quot; group, then we have lost sight of the whole basis of representative democracy. 
An elected representative represents all electors in a district, not just the ones that voted for him/her. Working backwards from that principle, any elector has the right to ask a question of a candidate. Party affiiliation be damned. The party affiliation argument is a gigantic red herring, utterly irrelevant. If candidates want to be protected from awkward questions, they can try, but it is up to us to blow the whistle on that little scam loudly and repeatedly.
Anybody who argues in favour of exclusion of questions based on the supposed affiliation of the questioner is by definition unqualified to make any pronouncement on the electoral process, and needs to STFU. CNN should have told the complainers to go take a hike.</description>

		<description>A prototypical wingnut complaint, combining bad grammar and utter irrelevance.


Proto-typical internet troll response when the person is correct... attack the person.

The film makers were Democrats. How is that a plant? How is that irrelevant?  What proof do you have that the question was not by a democrat? Because he does not tow the party line?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Yes, well a few minutes of searching using Google would have shown that that question was filmed by TheUpTake ... who is formed mostly by members of the DFL, or the Democratic Farmer Labor Party.&lt;/i&gt;

		<description>Damn, I guess I tuned in to late to see the disclaimer that stated that any question by any citizen who cannot be positively identified as a card carrying Republican shall be deleted from public view.

I hope the bubble boys get this question at every public forum from now on.  I&#039;m quite sure there are some gay republicans who would be willing to sign the loyalty oath and everything.</description>

a) How can I help the Republicans win?
b) George W Bush: Great president or Greatest President?</description>

		<description>Also

&lt;i&gt;You know, Dems haven’t re-elected an elected president with a majority of the popular vote in the last 60 years, while Reps have done it four different times. Maybe part of the explanation is that Dems just don’t get it.&lt;/i&gt;

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Is it really so difficult for you to defend planting questions on its own merits, so that you are reduced to pointing out that your adversary does it to? If it is, maybe you need to reevaluate your position and call for Dems to stop doing it, regardless of what Reps do, and maybe think of effective ways to stop Reps from doing it, and criticize them for it, instead of rationalizing what is obviously unethical behavior.&lt;/i&gt;

Ahem...

&lt;i&gt;CNN is trying to drum up some controversy by revealing that the questioner is on a Clinton committee. And? These are YouTube debates, where anyone including a devious Clinton partisan can submit questions which are then selected via some agreed-upon process. There is no conflict of interest here or misrepresentation, the rules do not state that only avid Republicans can offer submissions. The man was not posing as a reporter or faking his military service. His question was deemed valid and worthy enough for inclusion, who he is doesn’t change that. &lt;/i&gt;

		<description>It is so much fun to make the collective blood pressure of the wingnutosphere skyrocket.  The only &#039;bad&#039; thing about all of this is CNN&#039;s immediate apology - acting like they did something wrong.  They did not.

The &quot;outrage&quot; the wingnuts fabricate out of vapor hides what tender, weak little wimps they are.  If asking a real question about a real issue is that hard for their candidates, how in the world do they think any one of that pitiful octet could govern?  Oh - right - just like the awful piece of shit who infests our White House today.

That&#039;s ok, folks.  Keep screaming.  Keep whining.  The more you do, the better we look.</description>

		<description>To reiterate, we do not care who asks the questions at all because we our candidates and our base does not consist of raving lunatics. So your equating &quot;planting a question&quot; with &quot;murder&quot; or &quot;invading Iraq&quot; is about the most ridiculous comparison a human being could possibly come up with. Kudos.</description>

		<description>Johnny Fairplay misses the point entirely. Shocking.

Here&#039;s the thing, JohnBoy: I&#039;m pretty sure Gavin was pointing out that the Dems don&#039;t CARE who asks them the questions because they are more than willing to answer questions on their own merits without throwing a tantrum about it like you delicate little flowers. And at the same time pointing out the Wingnutosphere&#039;s hypocrisy when they pose hypotheticals and imagine-ifs that, in reality, ACTUALLY FUCKING HAPPENED, YOU IDIOTS.

I hope that clarifies.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Why do you think it’s a some kind of meaningful “response” to a charge that Dems are planting questions at a Rep debate to point out that Reps plant questions at Dem debates?

If X murders Y, can he defend himself by pointing out that A has already murdered B? &lt;/i&gt;

If I have a shit analogy, can I claim it&#039;s as bad as sawing the head off an infant?</description>
