 Student describes how she became a Clinton plant
Student describes how she became a Clinton plant
A Clinton staffer asked a college student at a rally if she would like to ask the candidate a question. When she replied yes, she was surprised to be shown a sheet with eight different pre-determined questions and asked to pick one. picked by tvirus 9 months ago

Well THIS probably won't be good for the clinton campaign. People already complain she's too rehearsed and focus grouped and this can only add to that impression.

You know, I am really not surprised. I always thought that the questions asked were very well versed and I kept trying to figure out how they were able to get that many intelligent people in one place. Also always surprised that the candidates were always so streamline in answering them. This is not common practice my arse.

Smoke and mirrors. Once again. Shocking.

I don't know if any of you noticed the date on this story, but I couldn't believe that I hadn't heard of it before! Especially the fact that the Clinton campaign admitted to doing it... you really have to wonder how long this had been going on, and what other kinds of campaign tactics we should know about.

In the land where I was born
I long for democracy
But the fascists have won the day
It will all be flushed away

We used to vote and have debates
Used to believe we chose our fates
Now its all a big charade
2012, oh I can't wait...

We all live in a sinking submarine...

It's always been pretty clear to me that the people asking questions at these sorts of events are planted or given the questions in advance. They always speak in a sort of wooden monotone that comes off much more like a bad actor than a person who just has a question. The only thing surprising to me about this article was that the Clinton campaign admitted that it happened.
