Youtube Democrat questioners unclear on the concept

Gosh, says one of the Democrats who got to question Republicans at the CNN presidential debate the other night, what did I do? "Retired Brig. Gen. Keith Kerr, who asked why gays should not be allowed to serve openly in the military, is a member of Clinton's steering committee on gay and lesbian issues, something her campaign disclosed in a news release in June....On CNN's "American Morning," Kerr said he has done nothing for the Clinton campaign and that the video was "a private initiative on my own." He also said he has supported Republicans."

But sir, you apparently led CNN to believe--certainly CNN led it's audience to believe--that you were an "unaffiliated" and perhaps even undecided voter, with no connection to any campaign. You weren't. You're for Clinton. And why shouldn't we suspect, therefore, that your question, far from seeking to elicit information to help undecided voters, was rather an attempt to play gotcha?
