WTF?!?I couldn't find any allegations his campaign planted questions or questioners.
Let's see Dubya do Clinton-type townhalls then...nothing Dubya does is spontaneous..
Okay, I googled this and what I come up with are accusations the audience was screened and that people the organizers believed would be disruptive (Such as Code Pink, etc...) were not allowed entrance.

I agree.

Just because you say it and it is repeated a thousand times, doesn't make it true.WTF?!?

The Clinton campaign was busted planting questions...and confessed to it. Point to a source that does the same on any of Bush's appearances.
Well lets start with Dubya's banned interview....
How embarassing... Bush is telling this woman that he, Saddam, had the capacity to build these weapons (wmds).. so we have now heard that he had the intent... so i wonder which one is true..did he intend to or did he have the capacity to build them..
The really embarassing part is that Dubya never answers a question directly....he goes off into a obvious canned speech about Iraq and every-time the foreign interviewer tries to redirect him to the original question, he just goes back on his little no-answer, answer tangent....
'we were attacked on 9/11 was repeated over and over.. everytime she asked him a question he didn't like "we were attacked on 9/11.."
See that foreign reporter had nothing to lose, Dubya can't reach his slimy hand to her bosses (unlike the M$M) and I don't think see really cares whether Dubya ever grants her access or another interview again...
her problem was that she didn't buy his bull . if I were her I would have explained to the president that he did not have to repeat that the US was attacked on 9/11 over and over and over.. I think she became insulted because he thought she was stupid..
Clinton campaigner admits to planting questions...
ABC NewsEloise Harper Reports: The Clinton campaign has admitted to planting questions in Iowa. They have confirmed that a campaign staffer approached a student to ask Sen. Clinton a question about global warming during a campaign stop at a biodiesel plant in Newton, Iowa, on Nov. 6.
The story was first reported by Patrick Caldwell, a junior at Grinnell College and the features editor of The Scarlet and Black college newspaper. He reported that student Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff was approached by the campaign to ask a question. She told the reporter that "they wanted a question from a college student." She also said that she "noted that staffers prompted Clinton to call on her and another who had been approached before the event, although Clinton used her discretion to select questions and called on people who had not been prepped beforehand. Some of the questions asked were confusing and clearly off-message."
Clinton Campaign spokesperson Mo Elleithee tells ABC News that "on this occasion a member of our staff did discuss a possible question about Sen. Clinton's energy plan at a forum. However, Sen. Clinton did not know which questioners she was calling on during the event. This is not standard policy and will not be repeated again."
The staffer still remains with the Clinton campaign and they would not reveal his or her name. The campaign did not comment on whether this is the only time they have planted questions among audience members.
Who banned the interview? And, if this administration can keep a conspiracy to bring down three buildings with controlled demo charges, I'm thinking they can make an interview -- or interviewer -- disappear.
why do you care? short of bush admitting he wasn't completey honest with the US in the run up to the war you won't believe anything you read... hence you are aptly described as a 'dead ender'..
I care because the implication is that Bush had it banned. The cryptic not accompanying the YouTube video isn't very revealing about why they considered it banned.
I figure, if the President -- or anyone on his staff that was sitting right there when it was conducted -- didn't want the thing to be aired, they would have come up with a reason to not allow the recording to leave the building.
So, who banned it is important.
More bad news for Hitlary supporters (i.e. the FAUX News crowd), Obama wipes out Huckabee, Romney and Giuliani in Iowa (good representative of the whole country usually) and also beats McCain 50-42.
Survey USAMrs. Clinton loses to McCain 48-44 and beats the other contenders by just 4-6 points that Obama is besting by 13-16 points!
20% of REPUBLICANS said they are voting OBAMA! with 7% UNDECIDED!
Only 10% to 13% of the Rs say Clinton.
Obama also does much better among independents, especially against McCain (losing by a few points), while Clinton's clock is cleaned by McCain among Indies by 12 points!
Among Dems, Clinton is 72% to 77%, while Obama is 79% to 84%.
This is a significant new poll and should be discussed and brought to the fromt. As Iowans get to know Obama, he ROMPS.
It doesn't matter. The DNC is intent on fielding another candidate who will lose a race that the Demos should win.
Your take on "demos should win"? Why?
Running after an extremely unpopular Republican president and administration, who started an extremely unpopular war, should make things easier for the Democratic candidate. , the Demos would have won in '04 had they fielded anyone other than John Kerry.
The corporate elites and media types already have decided on Hitlery. You people are so cute following your cherished little illusion that you get to choose the President.
Your incredibly correct, but to be fair it was the centrist DCCI that sponsored Kerry and turned the 04 nomination...that was when Demo leaders were under the mistaken belief that electing moderate Demos was the key to winning the Prez....instead of following their hearts...It doesn't matter. The DNC is intent on fielding another candidate who will lose a race that the Demos should win.
Doesn't look like the Iowans are sticking to the game plan....

Washington PostThe top three Democratic contenders remain locked in a close battle in Iowa, with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) seeing her advantages diminish on key fronts, including the questions of experience and which candidate is best prepared to handle the war in Iraq, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Illinois Senator Barack Obama gets the support of 30 percent of likely Democratic caucus-goers in Iowa, compared to 26 percent for Clinton, 22 percent for former senator John Edwards and 11 percent for New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. The results are only marginally changed from a Post-ABC poll in late July, but in a state likely to set the course for the rest of the nominating process, there are significant signs of progress for Obama -- and harbingers of concern for Clinton.
The Wing-nuts are panicking now....Hiltary, their candidate of choice, is fading...time to pull a old trick from the Nixon playbook and use Robert Novak to 'leak' ( er) another story that Clinton has dirt on Obama...
New Hampshire poll (Dec. 17, 2003). Dean 45%, Kerry 20%, 15% undecided
ARGRead this ARG poll from December 2003 to realize how Hillary Clinton's 15% lead in New Hampshire is nothing at this point, due to the difficulty in predicting primary outcomes.
Hillary supporters cannot claim that the huge number of undecided is not the case in 2007, but the fact is that according to this same ARG poll, only 15% of respondents claimed to be undecided back then.
I agree completely. But at what point do we take that illusion and turn it back into fact?The corporate elites and media types already have decided on Hitlery. You people are so cute following your cherished little illusion that you get to choose the President.
Some say the 08 election is going to be a reeeeeeeal turning point for this country...and I am not talking about the election itself.
