The Opposition Is Requesting More Hillary Plants

Think I'm joking? As you'll recall, last night during the republican debates, Brig. Gen. Keith H. Kerr, a retired general who happens to be gay raised a question about the shunning of gays in the service. He wanted to know why gays were forced to keep their sexuality a secret at the risk of being kicked out of the military. Plant or not, this was an excellent question and it was fun to watch the Republicans squirm on the topic. All over the media today, there has been contrived outrage that the general didn't identify himself as a Hillary supporter. Well it turns out, some republicans actually like being questioned by the Hillary plants, and candidate Duncan Hunter actually sent Hillary a thank you letter!

From nytimes.com:

Regarding the “plant”, retired Brig. Gen. Keith H. Kerr, that you sent to ask me the question at the CNN-YouTube debate last night in Florida …

Send more!!!


Merry Christmas,
Duncan Hunter

It's not quite clear if this is just a sneaky way of the opposition trying to encourage Hillary to keep using the plants so they can then later demonstrate fake outrage and try to make a fool out of her, or if they sincerely welcome the challenging and more intellectually stimulating questions that her supporters put forth. At any rate, this is all just getting more publicity for Hillary, and that's exactly what we need.
