Hillary Question Plant

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.

Read Gallo-Chasanoff's interview with her college newspaper about the Clinton campaigns question plant.

Read about how Clinton's Senate campaign planted a question in 1999.

Are there really this many grown people that didn't conclude many years ago that this was a routine part of politics?

Just another example in the long list of corrupt behavior by the Clinton Campaign. I'm not surprised to learn about it. Hey, do you Clinton fans know that she voted yes on the Kyl-Leiberman resolution to declare the Iranian Gaurd a terrorist organization? This gives Bush and his corrupt cronies permission to invade Iran. No wonder he's backing her, She's a female Georgie! I'm not being mean here, just trying to get you to wake up and smell the corruption. The mainstream media has decided that she will be the next President and is ruthlessly cramming her down our throats. Don't do what the Media tells you! Do some research, for Pete's sake, and make your own decisions. You are being manipulated.

The whole thing sounds really fishy to me.

Why did she ask the question, if she felt it was such a dishonest thing to do??

Hey, you 'boys' better not be ganging up on poor Hillary now!

Just because she can't answer 'yes' or 'no' to a planted question doesn't mean that she can't win the election simply by name recognition! Wait. That didn't sound very good, did it?

Hello, hi honey. Don't you know I'm in the middle of a speech here?

Did you call to talk about 9/11, or did you call to talk about 9/11? I singlehandedly saved 2,000 people on that day, 9/11 as it were.

I was johnny on the spot, or was I on the john and left a spot? Hmmm.

Gotta run, sweetheart, my head needs polishing.

Thanks for the reminder JamesR, but I was going to mention it anyway because it's Tuesday..

Yours in the fall, JamesR

Not so many years ago, a political career would have been ended for far less that what Hillary pulled here, when the underlying issue was attempted deception and intellectual dishonestly.

Today, I'm not sure what would stop someone the MSM has declared the "inevitable" nominee months before even a single vote has been cast.

Democracy and a government of, for, and by the People.

What a wonderful memory.

My God, what has politics come to? The "public" asks so many inane questions, it just makes sense to have someone "planted" to ask questions that the candidates want to talk about and to make their positions clear. I'd rather have someone ask a legitimate question (even if it is planted) than to have Tim Russert ask some of the stupid, loaded questions that he asked, especially the first question in the last Demo "debate" where he asked a question about "integrity" which was filled with three proven misstatements or lies, which only put his "integrity in question.
If you can find a single candidate that doesn't plant questions, let me know. They all do it.

This is really such BULLSHIT.
Republican rightwing is hard at work in their SMEAR CAMPAIGN. With them it's "hit and run". You'll never know THE TRUTH.

You'll read about THE AFTERMATH, after they get another one of their rightwingers elected president by EMOTIONALLY HYSTERICAL AMERICAN VOTERS. Republicans are betting their war-bank on it! They want to profiteer on your backs.

Don't you KNOW that Bush-Cheney = CORRUPTION + PROFITEERING? Endless war is the easiest way to shovel all the USTreasury TRILLIONS to themselves & pals. Republicans can hardly wait to continue enriching CORPORATE WELFARE QUEENS at your expense!

Hillary is NOT the change this country needs.

We need the radical departure of Obama, or even Kucinich.

I'd love to see Kucinich as president. Shake things up a bit.
