SIOUX CITY, Iowa — 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.”

DFU had a thread about it here

It repeats the same article and DFU couldn't verify it either.

I think post #23 in that thread makes a good point.

But I would still have trouble believing that the advance team could convince hospital staff to bring in their own kids in pajamas ... on a school day ... for a quasi-political event, and the only media that picks up the story is the American Spectator. It seems likely that the advance team just picked the least sick-looking kids in the hospital for the photo op.

Now that Mrs. Clinton has created Questiongate, I’m sure Rush will discuss it on Monday and include the Ponytail Guy story.

They would have 3 or 4 contestants all with hard luck stories. At the end everybody would applaud for their favorite contestant. During the applause, a meter with an arrow (think speedometer on a ‘53 DeSoto) would appear over the contestant. The louder the applause, the higher the meter arrow would register. Then the winner would be escorted to a throne, presented with a crown and flowers provided by the host. (here,picture Bill Clinton blubbering in a 1950’s 3 piece suit...heh heh). Even for a kid it seemed pretty cheesy.

I sense the hole in the dam with the media. They have actually started to REPORT on Hillary’s gaffes! If they start opening up and actually do investigative reporting on her duplicitous acts regarding fundraising, the whole dame will come down at once!

Bubba said it wouldn’t happen again either....and that was before he got elected.

Exactly, and well said.

Just blows the mind how society is conditioned to the drumbeat of the media, and how absence of its din isn't evidence of "no story," it's a signal of an out and out cover up.
