But this was at an April event.

The point is that the campaign tried to spin the recent plant as an aberration--certainly not their practice. In so doing, and by saying, "Won't happen again," they acknowledged it was not kosher, and contrary to the spirit of these town hall meetings. This belated revelation reveals that planting questions was SOP, not an aberration at all, and the only reason they won't be doing it again--if they can be believed--is because they were caught.

Piffle, this happened in April. The witch gets a pass from the lame-stream media, even though it shows a pattern of deception just like everything else she does.

Mo Elliethee, spokesman for Clinton's campaign in Iowa, told Fox that Hayler and Mitchell "had a previous relationship" and that a discussion about Clinton arose out of a normal conversation between two people who knew each other well.

"They had a previous relationship and were talking before the event and the topic of the senator's position on Iraq came up and Geoffrey said he had some questions," Elliethee said. "Chris suggested Geoffrey ask a question."

Mitchell, however, said that he and Hayler did not know each other personally before the event.

"I had no previous relationship with him," said Mitchell. "I knew his name and by name only as some who worked for Sen. Evan Bayh. But we didn't know each other and I had never met him before this event."

Interesting!

...denied attempting to plant a pro-Clinton question.

If they did, which I fully suspect they did, would they admit it?

This country can't survive four years of the Beast in charge...

MSM criticizing Clinton for this? Why is it not ok to plant questions in the audience, but it's ok to plant, water and harvest bundled contributions to skirt the finance laws?
Looks like the media just want to show how they're not favoring the witch.

Why does Hillary have to plant questions in the crowd or carry a scripted binder with her, didn’t Dan Rather say she was the smartest woman in the world?

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

As her husband was, she is focused on getting elected and not focused on running running the country for the people.

It's an agenda thing.

Blood in the water. Every candidate in the Dem party is going to try to catch her cheating again.

I told Chris I had other issues I wanted to raise with Sen. Clinton," Mitchell said.

There's your mistake, buddy. You should have kept quiet about that until she gave you the nod, then you could have asked any question you wanted.

Of course, being a minister, perhaps you think that might not have been totally honest......

Um.........

Did her campaign just call a minister a LIAR?

Her problem is that see needs to have planted questions because she tells so many lies she is unable to answer direct questions without knowing what her last lie was.

I wish one of these people, given the opportunity to ask her a question, would forget the 'fed' one and ask something totally unexpected - she would come unglued - and someone's head would roll =

Were I the treasonous questioner, I'd be gone lickity split, and never, bur never go near a public park...
