Does Hillary plant fake questions to avoid answering real questions about her positions?

You tell ME if she does or not.....

Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s 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.

“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, Clinton’s planted question may come as a great offense to Iowans.

According to a report on the Grinnell University Web site, the Clinton campaign arranged for some of the questions for the candidate to be asked by college students:

"On Tuesday Nov. 6, the Clinton campaign stopped at a biodiesel plant in Newton as part of a weeklong series of events to introduce her new energy plan. The event was clearly intended to be as much about the press as the Iowa voters in attendance, as a large press core helped fill the small venue….

"After her speech, Clinton accepted questions. But according to Grinnell College student Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff ’10, 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 Clinton’s 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."

The tape of the event shows that the question and answer went as follows:

Question: "As a young person, I'm worried about the long-term effects of global warming How does your plan combat climate change?

Clinton: "Well, you should be worried. You know, I find as I travel around Iowa that it's usually young people that ask me about global warming."

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.

Already her rivals have begun to criticize Friday's revelation.

“In light of a weak debate performance, not to mention a persistent inability to answer the tough questions, it appears the Clinton campaign has adopted a new strategy of planting questions,” John Edwards’ Communications Director Chris Kofinis said.

“It’s what the Clinton campaign calls the politics of planting.”

Yes, I just heard on the news where Hillary's people asked Iowans to ask certain questions. Those are the questions that Hillary has a good answer for and also will stop anyone else from asking her a hard question. There is no justification for the planted questions other than that is how the Clinton Machine works. Remember that.

Bill was an idiot in comparison to Hillary. Hillary doesn't need to have questions planted, and if she is I'm dissapointed. But she can twist her way out of almsot ANY question. Bill was an extension of Hillary (in the poltical sense), Hillary was never very good at saxophone.

nicely, the reason a query often gets planted, is via the fact they want their greatest marketing campaign subjects suggested. even nonetheless, i might undertaking that a majority of the concerns human beings have are common, or countless human beings does not emphasize those factors of their campaigns. look at applicants with decrease budgets, and that they have got a tendency to be ineffective on truthful approximately their positions. Like Kucinich for one, I even have little reason to have self assurance he's lieing, with the aid of fact his vote casting in congress did not substitute whilst he introduced he develop into working. Clinton and Obama thoroughly replaced their stance whilst they introduced they have been working for place of work. only look at their vote casting information in congress, and you will see who's telling the fact, and who isn't. with the aid of fact the saying is going: strikes talk louder than words.

Absolutely !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

under the pressures of major media coverage, with polls narrowing in Iowa, campaigns can potentially control questions and coverage by planning questions ahead of time.

While no campaigns admit to this practice, at a recent Hillary Clinton campaign event in Newton, Iowa, some of the questions posed to the New York Senator were planned in advance, planting some audience members in the crowd.

After her speech, Clinton accepted questions.

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 Clinton’s 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.

The source of the question was no coincidence—at this event “they wanted a question from a college student,” Gallo-Chasanoff said. She also noted that staffers prompted Clinton to call on her and another who had been approached before the event, although Clinton used her discretion to select questions and called on people who had not been prepped before hand. Some of the questions asked were confusing and clearly off-message.

The Clinton campaign denies the practice of planting.

But when directly asked if his statements meant that planting does not occur in the Hillary campaign, Daley could only say, “to the best of my knowledge.”

“Planting" is not something that is encouraged in our campaign,” he said.

No, she's just taking lessons of avoiding actually answering them from her husband who is a master at that, but actually comes off convincingly. He's got a certain charm that she does not.

Hillary does not have positions,

Her and every other candidate since cave man days!

WHO CARES !!! IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

most do.
