Hillary's Campaign Planted More Questions, Says Student

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.

In an exclusive on-camera interview with CNN, Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff, a 19-year-old sophomore at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, said that giving anyone specific questions to ask is "dishonest," and the whole incident has given her a negative outlook on politics.

Hillary Clinton claimed she had no knowledge that her aides planted the question.

Hey HuffPo any important news on the other candidates?

[ChiMan1]

ClaraBell is most famous for being a CLOWN! I believe it. Mrs Bill Clinton the Savior of Higher Ed? . . . . NOT, NADA, NEVER!

[Lucere]

Wow.

For such a "non-story" there are currently 1494 comments.

[FirstBlowupDollLaura]

Another non-story blown out of proportion by HuffPo.

Hillary gets HuffPo'd every day.

[FirstBlowupDollLaura]

8 Democrats are running

Today HuffPo put up THREE articles bashing Hillary.

Not one other candidate got any space.

Why not change the name to Bashing Hillary Post?

[focused]

Not sure my last post was posted.
It was "Goodbye."
Not that I am so pro-Hillary, but that Huffpost is so anti-Hillary.
I will not be logging in again.

This doesn't seem to be a big deal to me. This is a "campaign event" and not an official press conference.

[countryrds]

Why the surprise, why the indignation? Everything done is strictly for show and it is nothing but a illusion to expect any serious improvement or change with a mainstream candidate, that is why they are mainstream - pick you puppet. Only RP, DK, or MG will do what they say they will.

Hillary's usual defense of her problems is "but Bush did this..."
What wonderful leadership!

[lillianjane]

Every campaign plants volunteers to ask questions that the candidate wants to answer. The college student "whistle blower" apparently does not know this because she hasn't lived long enough to work on many campaigns.

Oh geez, Arianna, I admire you for so many things, but I get more embarrassed to read HuffPost every day. Stop letting it be such a sensationalist rag!

Just got the "poop" from AFT's On Campus magazine, which is endorsing Hillary as " 'Best of the best' for higher ed."

This is for the ones who ask what she stands for. According to the magazine: "Hillary has a 100 percent AFT voting record for the entire time she has served in the United States Sentate. She has worked to break down financial barriers to college for the neediest students by voting to restore cuts to federal student aid programs and raise the maximum Pell Grant. She has defended workers' rights through her votes to extend collective bargaining, increase the minimum wage and protect over time pay. And she has used her position to oppose threats to Social Security and Medicare, as well as reckless tax cuts that hamper investment in key domestic priorities and burden future generations with huge federal deficits..." (any typos mine ;-))

ENOUGH! If you can't find substantive issues to disagree with Hillary about, shut up!

[RGKahn]

Which is worse - a planted question or a planted audience? Which is worse, asking someone to ask an intelligent question or have the host as insulting or stupid or misleading questions? What about a press conference that had the employees of a federal agency pretend to be reporters and ask questions in a faux press conference? All I know is that Bush and Company have never, except on rare occasions, been asked a hard question during is "meet the voter" moments in the past.

I guess the staffers on her campaign were so tired of the leading questions and the snide remarks that are asked in the form of a question that they decided to have a few less than hard hitting questions asked of the candidate. Also, think about this, some of the people who are coming out and claiming this and that may not be whom they claim to be. Remember the "reporter" for Talon New, Jeff Gannon, a "male escort" with a another "real" name.

Smartest Woman in the World! sadly no one told her. It's the Monica reparations parade, oh how we feel soooooo sorry!!! Whine On!

[repubesnivel]

THIS IS ALL BULLSHIT!

If Hillary Clinton is another George Bush and is going to be another George Bush, there's no way she'd be campaigning the way she is.

She would be so far left it would make your teeth hurt. C'mon people, use your head for something besides a hatrack.
