Clinton Campaign Acused for the Second Time of Planting a Question at a Public Appearance
Saturday , November 10, 2007 By Major Garrett
SIOUX CITY, Iowa — 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.
In a telephone interview Saturday with Fox News, Geoffrey Mitchell, 32, said he was approached by Clinton campaign worker Chris Hayler to ask a question about how she was standing up to President Bush on the question on funding the Iraq war and a troop withdrawal timeline.
The encounter happened before an event hosted by Iowa State Sen. Gene Frais on a farm outside Fort Madison, Iowa.
Clinton's Iowa campaign confirmed to Fox News that one of its staff discussed questions with Mitchell before her April 2 event, but denied attempting to plant a pro-Clinton question.
Mo Elliethee, spokesman for Senator Clinton, told Fox that Clinton staffer Chris Hayler talked with Mitchell before the event because the two knew each other from previous Democratic activities.

Hillary apparently is too stupid and/or too devious to answer surprise questions.

But they promised not to do it ever again after the first time. Didn't they? She wouldn't lie, would she?

The string is beginning to unravel at a rapid pace. It won’t be long before we hear the Hill Shriek which will completely sink her.
To: Sub-Driver
So pretty much every time she begins a response with....
"You know, I'm frequently asked that question from(insert demographic group here) as I travel around the country,......blah, blah" That response seems to be a common one in her escapades.

Anyone who believes ANYTHING is genuine, honest or truthful about the Clintons - either of them - is delusional...

My question to hillary...
Senator clinton, what’s it like having the MSM avoid asking you questions about the woman who accused your husband, the former president of raping her?
To: Lonesome in Massachussets
"and as they said the last time, it won’t happen again (until the next time)." They meant that they won't get caught again. Planting questions however, will continue as planned.
It was a dumb question anyways.

The Clinton spinning machine will spit out this young lady as a liar, then use the lie of liar to discredit the other(s) incident(s) as well. I wouldn’t put it beyond them to do such.

I would love to see that, even more than watching Bill blow a fuse.

And .. I remind everybody that her campaign’s continual “Hillary didn’t know” statement is beginning to wear thin.
And .. IF SHE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT HER STAFF WAS DOING - WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT HER ABILLITY TO RUN THE WH AND/OR THIS COUNTRY ..??
Hmmmmmmm ..??
