Default Planted questions for Hillary

Anyone hear the college student ask Hillary the question about global warming?
Here's an interview with her describing the events that took place:

What they don't show is how Hillary responded to her question about global warming. Hillary says that she usually gets questions about global warming from young people just like her. LMBO! Really Hillary?! Probably because your staff always picks college students to ask it.

Every campaign I've ever heard of has planted questions.

That someone wants to try to make a "news story" out of this is laughable.

FEMA will be holding a press conference later today to discuss this abhorent practice.

Default Of course other politicians do this!

What's laughable is that politicians still think they can get away with this, and think that people have not caught onto it by now.

One wonders if it were reported that a Republican candidate had done this, whether the CG faithful would be so dismissive.

Tex, will you go on record as saying this is an abhorrent practice that would cause you not to support Romney if he is currently or has ever done this?

LOL!

This is almost as ingenuous as Nor Cal's silly implication that "what's laughable is that politicians still do this" line. Yea, Nor Cal, that's why you posted what you did.

Funny stuff.

The question gets posed to me frequently when I post about Democrats. Are you saying turnabout is not fair play?
