Oy...

Joe Garofoli strikes again. Garofoli is the Chron writer who also decided that the only people whose opinion mattered on why anti-war movies suck were anti-war activists. He has a long list of such stories. Here, we get, on the Republican YouTube debate:

However, considerable time was spent talking about guns and abortion, and candidates heard from a gay retired brigadier general from Santa Rosa, who also appeared live at the debate to chastise them for not answering his question about why gays shouldn't serve in the military.

While political analysts praised the first YouTube/CNN debate for its attempts at innovation, this time they questioned the degree to which this melding of old and new media is progressing. If soliciting videos online was supposed to be a way for "ordinary people" to directly question the candidates, then why did Grover Norquist, a leading anti-tax conservative with a Rolodex full of A-list Republicans, get to ask his question?

Good question about Norquist. Maybe he should ask the same question about that general.

No healthcare questions. Guess the GOP didn't feel like answering those...
