I saw a reference to it on Yahoo but I cant find any details. Anyone got a link to video of it or any kind of story behind it?

What I really wanted was video that didn't require me to register.

Whoa! Guess I shoulda checked Fox news first, I was looking on the local News Sites and not Google or the National ones like CNN or MSNBC.

Politics is starting to give me gas.

ETA: So I'm assuming this is a common practice for politicians now Town Hall things or speeches. Noone seems to care and its hardly getting any coverage like when the homeland security people did it.

No wonder no one votes anymore.

I don't know if the practice is common for all politicians. It certainly is common for Hillary Clinton.

She got caught red handed doing it recently. She tried to deflect blame to her campaign staff, but then how did she know exactly who to call on in the audience if it was only the campaign workers fault?

Here is a video of a girl on CNN talking about being given a question by a member of Hillary's staff....



The Edwards campaign even set up this web site regarding planted questions for Hillary....

This YouTube user also posts some videos of some seemingly obviously planted questions...

..........................

I'm watching the Democrat Candidate Debate right now on CNN.

They went to the audience to ask some questions. One woman who works in the casino business asked a question about Social Security and federal deficits. Barry Obama thanked her for her work with the culinary workers union. I never heard the woman mention she was an official with the culinary workers union. How did Obama know that unless the woman was a plant? The woman also seemed to be a plant because she had problems repeating the question she was supposed to have memorized.

EDIT: There appears that at least one so-called "citizen questioner" from the audience in the debate tonight was a plant.

A woman named Catherine Jackson stood up with her son and asked about Iraq. This woman has been in the news in the past regarding Iraq protests...

Dear Lord,

Please don't let Hillary get the nomination. I've trusted in you all these years. This is the one thing I ask.

Amen.

I wouldn't doubt that they all do it.

Hillary got caught.

Then again, for Bush, they just screen the people before they get in - so they can avoid someone asking a question from the opposite viewpoint.
