I wonder what the final CNN Plant-ratio will be?

This debate is the gift that keeps-on giving. But curse that writer's strike!! Stewart and Colbert would be (please forgive the expression, in Anderson's case...) tearing CNN a brand-new one, instead of airing more repeats. At this point Comedy Central MUST cover what CNN has done, for the sake of humor in America.

Well of all the plants that were put here for the enemy within...CAIR is one of the biggest that irk me the most, that organization should not be allowed to work or be here in the USA,....

This is deplorable, infuriating and despicable.

Great work Michelle Malkin and Matthew.

Now that I am really mad I need to cool off....

How dare the leftist propagandist network shill for the enemy while we are fighting them with our mighty wonderful military... we need to stay strong and fight with all our might here in the states...they, meaning groups like CAIR, who make no mistake are our vital enemy, want more than anything for the dems to win. 

We must fight like hell and win...this is past outrageous.
