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.

No room for this:
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/227/story/21406.html -- U.S. finds a way to pacify Iraqi town — by using cash

or this:
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/politics/blog/2007/11/bush_congress_like_teenager_wi.html -- Bush: Congress like 'teenager with a credit card'

But plenty of room for this article and Kayne West. Interesting!

And you thought Hillary was somehow different from Bush? Hillary reads from the same script both she and Bush have been given.
They are all the same - stop buying into the phony DEM vs GOP good cop/bad cop charade. Stop being a victim of their plan to divide and conquer US.
Great little video here about divide and conquer:

Or check out Zeitgeist Part III - here is a short clip that ends with a good explanation of why it's a mistake to think Hillary is going to save you from Bush ... or visa versa:

Stop being chumps fighting ourselves, while our real enemies rob US blind.

Alright - Let's spin this sucker until it is the college girl who is at fault and lying.

We will start out with "Hillary didn't know anything about it until the news reported it."

Then let's go to: "How would I know who to call on among the 100s - no, make that millions of people attending the meeting?"

Then let's give it the: "Why would I want planted questions when I could just make my points in my speech?"

Then, "I don't know who the student is but maybe she has an agenda of her own. We heard she once worked on a campaign for [insert opponent's name here]."

Finally - "If I find that someone in my campaign has done this or anything intellectually dishonest, they will be dealt with." Translation: put where they will not be seen by the media.

Is this any worse than standing before the nation using someone else's words?

And I'm not just talking about Bush, but all presidents Why would any president worth his/her votes need someone else's words to talk to the people?

I think Hillary Clinton is a dishonest warmongerer who has demonstrated that her world view is so limited that she is wholly unqualified to be Senator, let alone President. She fully understood she was voting for war in Iraq when she voted for the Bush resolution in 2002 and did so because she supports the policy. She remained loudly pro-war until it was no longer feasible to do so while running for President and voted for Kyl-Lieberman because she still believes in that policy. If she voted for either of those she's too incompetent to be President, and if she didn't believe they'd lead to war when she voted for them she's even more incompetent. This is especially true because the overwhelming evidence at the time was that Saddam had no WMDs and was an enemy of al Qaeda.

I would not vote for her under any circumstances regardless of what any two-bit Nader-baiting, Democatic Party sycophant or troll says to rationalize keeping their murders of young Amercans and Iraqis going.

Having said that, who cares if she planted questions? She wanted certain questions asked and planted people to ask them. So what? There really are much bigger fish to fry, and her dishonesty is much more graphic in the torrent of lying rationales she used to justify her attack Iraq and attack Iran votes than by planting soft ball questions.

Wow, the Huffington Post has more anti-Hillary articles than The Drudge Report. What's up with that?

[PixieThis]

I find it amusing that there are some people here who are commenting on ethics and/or morals of Hillary, when they're so clearly lacking ethics and/or morals themselves.

[tedperl]

At the risk of contributing to it, let me express my feeling that this story has gone for too long. Why it is a headline is a mystery to me.
I am not paticularly partisan--I would vote for any of the top three Democratic candidates. I read the Huffington Post to get directed to news--not to unnecessary attacks on Hillary. I have no trouble with critical articles, polling results, etc. that support her opponents, but this planted question stuff is getting silly.

Come on onemorepissedman. Admit you're the same old bitter man you were under you last moniker. Or woman.

[GrouchoMarxist]

I can't wait to find out whose campaign this "student" is working for.

[daemon]

Alea iacta est and I know who wins.

[swanky]

Anything that smarmy ambulance chaser can do to make Hillary = Bush he will do. Don't be fooled. He's a plaintiff's attorney, well skilled in the art of deflection. Transparent and disgusting. Taking the focus off of his own weaknesses to draw a parallel between her and GWB.

Zero-point-zero respect from me ever again.
