Politics Rigged? El oh EL... College student says she was given a question to ask by the Clinton Campaign at a Q&A session. |

At least neo-nazis don't like her.

Re: Hillary feed me please...
I wouldn't be suprised if most other candidates used this tactic, politics suck. This reminds me of something I saw on C-span a few weeks ago. Putin was holding a nation wide call-in show where "anyone" could call in from around Russia and the surrounding areas to ask questions. The questions were obviously scripted and the entire thing was pretty humorous.

Re: Hillary feed me please...
Actually this planting of questions could work well. I'd like to see Hillary opponents plant questions about inflation, the value of the $, economic growth, taxes, etc. Rinse and repeat for all the candidates.

Re: Hillary feed me please...
In 1992 a group of us showed up early to get a good spot for a Hillary visit. Later we were removed by secret service when the people bringing Hillary to campus pointed us out as being anti-Clinton.

Re: Hillary feed me please...
What do I have to do get one of these planted questions?
Seems to me it would be rather funny to accept your plant, and then when it's your turn, proceed to ask her about her cattle futures trading which was so OBVIOUSLY illegal that it borders on absurdity that no one investigated it. You'd think in all the years of question planting, this would have happened at least once. |

Re: Hillary feed me please...
Funny, I remember a cascade of attacks on the Bush campaign during the last election for this sort of thing. I just sort of considered it business as usual given how the election is basically a giant advertising campaign; its all about product management. I think the fact that people are actually suprised by this is more troubling than the fact that it exists.

I don't think anyone is surprised that this happens.
I DO think it's funny that she's falling all over herself trying to convince everyone that she had no idea that it was happening. |

[/ QUOTE ] I dont think many people that post here would be surprised, but I definitely remember a lot of scorn directed at Bush for the exact same shenanigans. You are of course correct as to the inherent humor of the denials. |

Re: Hillary feed me please...
It's sad that this does not mean anything to me at all. These elections are just a parade and nothing more. Two like minded candidates will duke it out as a public spectacle and everyone will enjoy their pre-planned debates and 30 second sound bites.
