Missing the Point

The flap over the GOP YouTube debate continues and expands, as many of the video questions chosen by CNN have been found to be Democrat activists. Aside from the obvious dishonesty of the questioners presenting themselves as "undecided voter" or "Log Cabin Republican", CNN and their leftist supporters are missing (or mis-reporting) the point.

That point being it's not that the candidates are afraid of answering "tough" questions. It's about the double standard. It's about the predisposition of the CNN folks who chose the questions that Republicans are redneck war-mongering mean bigoted homophobes. They chose questions in an attempt to "expose" the candidates as such.

Even more to the point is the double standard. If you want to put on these left agenda-driven questioners in the GOP debate, where were the questions from Republican party activists at the Democrat YouTube debate?

Let's talk equivalency.

If it's fair game to bring Dem gay activists on the GOP debate asking their questions, why not have a Republican activist asking the Democrat candidates where they stand on Gay Marriage, and whether businesses and religious organizations should have the right to discriminate based on moral behavior standards?

How about a questioner asking the Dems to explain when exactly abortion crosses the line and becomes infanticide? Or whether they would counsel a young pregnant woman to get an abortion or enter an adoption program?

Maybe a question about whether they would support police raids on private residences to confiscate handguns, a la Washington DC?

Even a similar question as asked by the guy waving the Bible. Where do you Dems stand on religion and morality, and what place (if any) does religion play in American society?

The point is simple, but somehow the media seems to miss it.

What else is new?
