Yes, the questions were obviously loaded and designed to embarrass Cain. But I don't see anything wrong with that.
You are 100% correct as long as MSLSD promotes itself as an arm of the democratic national committee. If they consider themselves a new agency of any kind, the question was ridiculous. I mean even Fox doesn't got to those extremes.
What could possibly be more irrelevant than asking someone why they didn't volunteer for a war most tried to avoid like herpes? Did O'Donnell himself volunteer? Chris Mathews? Didn't Bill Clinton (one of O'Donnell's heros) obfuscate to avoid it like the plague.
Meanwhile, O'Donnell knew Cain was working as a mathematician in a civilian capacity for the DOD at the time. His question wasn't meant to illicit anything newsworthy, I was meant to try to smear Cain to O'Donnell's 6 viewers.
If MSLSD is a 527, a 501 (c) or a 501 (c) (3) advocacy group then O'Donnell's question is perfect. If he is supposed to be working for a news agency, his questioning was absurd.
Next line of questioning on the O'Donnell show.... when did you stop beating your wife?
