Clinton Aides Plant Student's Question
By PATRICK CALDWELL
The Iowa caucuses are known for their “living-room chats” where ordinary Iowans can meet candidates face-to-face and talk about what interests voters. When candidates have larger events or make major policy speeches, the crowds are bigger, but there is often still an opportunity for questions. But under the pressures of major media coverage, with polls narrowing in Iowa, campaigns can potentially control questions and coverage by planning questions ahead of time.

While no campaigns admit to this practice, at a recent Hillary Clinton campaign event in Newton, Iowa, some of the questions posed to the New York Senator were planned in advance, planting some audience members in the crowd.

Clinton Campaign Confirms Planting Town Hall Question, Says It Won't Happen Again

SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s campaign admitted Friday that it planted a global warming question in Newton, Iowa, Tuesday during a town hall meeting to discuss clean energy.

Clinton campaign (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,310316,00.html#) spokesman Mo Elliethee admitted that the campaign had planted the question and said it would not happen again.

Planted questions are her stock-in- trade, she's paranoid and she's a control freak:

This was one of the questions she planted:

Question: "As a young person, I'm worried about the long-term effects of global warming How does your plan combat climate change?

That doesn't even sound real, her answer was no better:


Clinton: "Well, you should be worried. You know, I find as I travel around Iowa that it's usually young people that ask me about global warming."


Everything she can stage, she will.

She got caught AGAIN after her campaign said it wouldn't happen again, according to Fox News. This is the same M.O. the Clintons practice in their fundraising, "Oh no, we would never take money from the ChiComs. We gave it all back." they say, while stuffing commie cash into their sox and undies faster than Sandy Berger can stuff classified documents into his.

But hey, 40% of the people on this forum don't mind if she becomes prez.

Go figure.

[Naturalized-Texan]

She's following in BJ's footprints. BJ consistently planted questions in his audiences.

Good reminder as to what we are up against. All the corruption implemented by the Clintons and they are out in front. Sandy Berger stole Americas most sensitive secrets and nothing happened to him but a slap on the wrist. He's on her campaign with no apologies, yet the media is hounding Rudy because of something Kerik did on his own. Kerik who was maybe the best police chief New York ever had. He accomplished things.

Sandy Berger at Clintons orders let Osama go for Gods sake. We better wake up early this time to just what we are up against. We have had a relative easy time since Bush came in. Low taxes and no new terror desasters. Katrina was a minor blip compared to what the Al-Quida cells and Iran have in store for us. Hillary and a Kucinich type of administration plan to remove all of the safeguards we now have.

I just think too many people have been lulled into some fantasy world. Its about what will win this war. If that isn't done, none of the other issues will matter. Who has the energy and skills to be effective at winning it. C'mon, its not complicated. Hillary, and her bellowing team, along with her husbands compulsive sexual problems will really get in the way of the kinds of results America must accomplish. We need someone quick on their feet. Not some entry into the guinness book of records.

When you really think about it, it's absolutely stunning that the Clintons are being seriously considered for the presidency again, given all that they did so poorly, their corrupt and criminal practices in office and the clear evidence that they not only didn't learn any lessons the first time around, but that they intend to commit and already are committing the same corrupt acts again. The Clintons completely and severely failed this country on national security, the most important responsibility of all those assigned to the executive branch. In fact, the Clintons went out of their way to lower our defense capabilities, yet here come the same batch of morons ready, willing and able to vote for them again and some of the same third-party suckers who enabled their electoral success.

[The_Elucidator]

Evidently my hypocrisy knows no bounds as I would campaign for Chuck Schumer to beat Hitlery's sorry ass! I hate the Clintons that much!

[The_Elucidator]

Don't you just love the NEW MEDIA??? Without the new media the entire country would be given a stead dose of BS from the likes of these idiots again.

Student given question to ask Clinton: I wasn't only one (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/11/13/student-given-question-for-clinton-i-just-want-honesty/)

GRINNELL, Iowa (CNN) -- The college student who was told what question to ask at one of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign events says "voters have the right to know what happened" and she wasn't the only one who was planted.

-- snip --

She says a senior Clinton staffer asked if she'd like to ask the senator a question after an energy speech the Democratic presidential hopeful gave in Newton, Iowa, on November 6.

"I sort of thought about it, and I said 'Yeah, can I ask how her energy plan compares to the other candidates' energy plans?'" Gallo-Chasanoff said Monday night.

"'I don't think that's a good idea," the staffer said, according to Gallo-Chasanoff, "because I don't know how familiar she is with their plans." http://i.l.cnn.net/cnn/.element/img/2.0/mosaic/tabs/video.gifWatch the student describe how she was approached » (http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/11/13/clinton.planted/index.html#cnnSTCVideo)

He then opened a binder to a page that, according to Gallo-Chasanoff, had about eight questions on it.

"The top one was planned specifically for a college student," she added. " It said 'college student' in brackets and then the question."

More of the Hitlery Lie (http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/11/13/clinton.planted/index.html)


"After the event," she said, "I heard another man ... talking about the question he asked, and he said that the campaign had asked him to ask that question."

The man she references prefaced his question by saying that it probably didn't have anything to do with energy, and then posed the following: "I wonder what you propose to do to create jobs for the middle-class person, such as here in Newton where we lost Maytag."

But of course the Clinton camp knows nothing about this.. Sgt Schultz anyone? I KNOW NUSSING... Heil Hitlery!!!

This is similar to the way the Jehovah's Witnesses use the Red Book in their indoctrination/apprehension centers.

The only way to advance to the next book is to parrot back the correct response. Its like having a bird regurgitate chewed food into your mouth.

Hillary is nothing more than a fastfood cult machine.

[Rhino]

Threads merged.

[Lazarus]

Rush rode this issue like a horse today... And apparently the Klinton campaign thugs bragged to Drudge that they had sent a warning to Wolf Blitzer to lay off of Hilary in the upcoming debate, or else...........

That might deserve a thread of its own... Let's see if we can come up with the source material...

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

But hey, 40% of the people on this forum don't mind if she becomes prez.
Go figure.

Bull.

[Rhino]

But hey, 40% of the people on this forum don't mind if she becomes prez.

Go figure.Can't. I don't recall hearing a single person say that they wouldn't mind that.

[Lazarus]

I don't mind her becoming President.......................of Iran...

[The_Elucidator]

I don't mind her becoming President.......................of Iran...

She is already in charge of the Clinton library and massage parlor in Arkansas, what more could a helpless victim who is very comfortable in the kitchen want?

[Venus de Smilo]

Can't. I don't recall hearing a single person say that they wouldn't mind that.
I haven't either, but according to the poll taken here, a total of 40% of the members participating would not vote 'pub if Rudy gets the nomination. Since any other vote or failure/refusal to vote is a wasted vote, it's favorable to Hillary.

[Venus de Smilo]

Bull.

No bull.

Since any other vote or failure/refusal to vote is a wasted vote, it's favorable to Hillary.That doesn't mean they wouldn't mind her getting elected. It means they mind the alternative more, so your assertion was incorrect. You can't seem to understand that your paradigm isn't universally shared. That's somewhat understandable because we all have that trouble sometimes. But you seem intent on going further by being insulting to those who do not agree with your view of the situation. Somehow I don't think you're going to sway anyone in that manner, except possibly in the other direction. I respect your opinion, even if I may not agree with it. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask you to do the same in return.

Yes, it is bull. "40% of the members participating" is not the same as "40% of the people on this forum" just as "favorable to Hillary" does not equate to "don't mind if she becomes prez." We mind very much, and do not want her to become President, but what we do want is the right candidate instead, not just for this election, but for putting this nation back on track for the long haul. Rudy Giuliani is not that candidate. The Conservative Republican voters should not be the ones forced to "compromise" and nominate a NON-Conservative Republican. Those embracing Giuliani should be forced to vote for the Conservative Republican in fear of Hillary -- otherwise, they "don't mind if she becomes prez."

[ThomasMore]

Venus raises an excellent point, though.

We all know what Hillary is.

Those of us who are thinking about sitting this one out or voting third party because we don't like our party's nominee should think long and hard about the votes that WON'T go to Nurse Ratched's main opponent.

If she is elected, in the end, we will have ourselves to blame.

[ThomasMore]

And Homes, I understand and agree that the Republican Party is broken, and may not deserve to win.

We have to make absolutely sure that the Democrats don't win, too. As bad as the Reps are, we have already seen how the Dems are turning our government into a kakistocracy (http://www.answers.com/topic/kakistocracy).

The Conservative Republican voters should not be the ones forced to "compromise" and nominate a NON-Conservative Republican. Those embracing Giuliani should be forced to vote for the Conservative Republican in fear of Hillary. As I have said elsewhere, if Hillary is that scary NOW to the point that some people are willing to vote for a candidate who does not best represent the people, platform and party, they should still be scared enough to vote for one that does (best represent) after a Conservative Republican wins the nomination.

I absolutely disagree the "we" will have ourselves to blame, when "we" are not the ones abandoning the principles of Conservatism in order to defeat Hillary. In the end, we may win the battle (with a liberal-lite) but lose the war, as we will only be furthering the liberal snowball rolling downhill. Now is the best time to turn things around -- we may not get another chance.

Not long after Hillary Rodham Clinton came unraveled at a Democratic party debate where her competitors pounced on every mistake, she plays bigshot at an Iowa restaurant where tipping etiquette was in question and now lying about questions planted in the audience. But Hillary Rodham Clinton needs a script to appear prepared for the office which she seeks. The gaffes are beginning to pile up which may bring the American public to their senses about this candidate.

If you feel it is unfair to call it lying about the planted questions, read on. Several reports and the timelines they suggest have her denying and claiming no knowledge of the facts. Of course, if it is necessary, a campaign prefers a staffer to fall on the sword to save the candidate. But then many people continue to support the Clinton clan even when the evidence of suggests rejection. The same people who call for impeachment of President Bush or VP Cheney have no problem looking past the history of Bill and Hillary.

If she is elected, in the end, we will have ourselves to blame.And if we relegate the Republican Party to the abandonment of conservatism, who then do we blame in the end?

This isn't about blame. That's the mantra of liberals. If we start blaming someone for sticking to their conservative principles, then maybe we deserve to lose. If something like that is deemed deserving of blame, maybe we have lost already.

Good points, both of you. I think I have been having a couple of "downer" nights, and it is reflecting through cynicism in my posts.

Thanks for calling me out on it.
