Foes Protest 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'

This is a longer post - reguarding multiple stories all interconnected - leading to one very immature Duncan Hunter - and a near case of the freedom of speech being (once again)
restricted. (averted only by accident)

Foes Take on 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'

Clinton Adviser was on air at GOP Debate

Hunter Waters the Plant (Letter) (Note that some of the stories are multiple pages)

Twelve thousand miniature flags are fluttering on the National Mall through today (Dec 2) to represent the men and women discharged from the military since Bill Clinton in 1993 signed off on the "don't ask, don't tell" compromise -- a policy that requires gays and lesbians conceal their sexual orientation or leave the military.

The flags, placed by volunteers, cover six football fields of space in view of the Capitol building and the Washington monument. [[Foes Take On 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell']]

Why is this important? Well - this comes not a moment after the fourteenth aniversary of Clintons "Dont Ask, Dont Tell" Policy and after comments on the CNN/YouTube debate
where....

[...]GOP hopefuls widely agreed to leave the policy in place. The debate [...] hit another dramatic high point when retired Brig. Gen. Keith Kerr asked a video question from his perspective as a now openly gay man who had completed 43 years of military service.

"I want to know why you think that American men and women in uniform are not professional enough to serve with gays and lesbians," Kerr asked in the video shot at his home in Santa Rosa, Calif.

In response, Republican candidates Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, John McCain and Duncan Hunter all agreed they supported the current policy. [[Clinton Adviser was on air at GOP Debate]]

Later, after the debate, Hunter had penned a short response to Clinton, with whom Kerr had been an outspoken supporter of Hillary Clinton (and consequentially, should not have made his appearance in the debate to ask (in our presidents words) a "Loaded Question")

Dear Senator Clinton,

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 [[Hunter Waters The Plant]]

I think that even IF Kerr was a political supporter of Clinton that he shouldnt have cause controversy at the Debate - People have a right to ask questions and hes lucky it was a video question - cause otherwise...well, let us not forget the incident of "Don't Tase Me Bro!"
People should be able to ask politicians questions and Hunter is acting like a small child
just egging on Clinton with his letter.

Its immature and hes not acting like the professional he should be.

Yours Truly ~~
