Hillary’s prefabricated campaign takes planted questions

Posted in Economic at 10:05 pm by admin

[UPDATE 12/10 ]For the second time in as many days, Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign has had to deal with accusations of planting questions during public appearances, FOX News has learned. — Fox News I guess that stuff about “It won’t happen again” went the way of all her other positions.


Democratic Presidential frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton is a sock puppet. Her campaign is comprised of illegitimate, creepy sock puppets. Their hands stay warm, of course, but nothing is what you see:

From FOX:

SIOUX CITY, Iowa Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clintons 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 spokesman Mo Elliethee admitted that the campaign had planted the question and said it would not happen again.

“On this occasion a member of our staff did discuss a possible question about Senator Clinton’s energy plan at a forum, Elliethee said.

But they (Mo Elliethee) must maintain plausible deniability for Hillary:

However, Senator Clinton did not know which questioners she was calling on during the event. This is not standard policy and will not be repeated again.

In a state where the caucus is held sacred and the impromptu and candid style of the town hall meeting is held dear, Clintons planted question may come as a great offense to Iowans.

Here’s the deal, as reported:

“After her speech, Clinton accepted questions. But according to Grinnell College student Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff, some of the questions from the audience were planned in advance. ‘They were canned,’ she said. Before the event began, a Clinton staff member approached Gallo-Chasanoff to ask a specific question after Clintons speech. ‘One of the senior staffers told me what [to ask],’ she said.

“Clinton called on Gallo-Chasanoff after her speech to ask a question: what Clinton would do to stop the effects of global warming. Clinton began her response by noting that young people often pose this question to her before delving into the benefits of her plan.

“But the source of the question was no coincidence at this event ‘they wanted a question from a college student,’ Gallo-Chasanoff said.”

Major Garrett, who wrote the piece for FOX, offers:

The campaign’s admission that it planted the question may be another blow to the New York senator’s image as a trustworthy politician.

Clinton’s critics have accused her of being a double-talker who refuses to answer tough questions specifically. Now her campaign has acknowledged planting at least one question.

That is an interesting theory, that there was any voter who trusted Hillary about anything.

She’s running a prefabricated campaign, treating the American voting public as a giant blob of vapidity. I wish someone would throw a hammer at the screen.
