Yes there is, you ignorant shit. We’ve already pointed out how it is different.

fredfarkle: “oh, C.S.?

Is hillary getting any FEDERAL matching funds for her campaign….?”

No, she is not, you fucking ignorant shit.

Listen, you have been wrong about nearly everything you have posted here. You are such a record for incompetence I have a hard time believing it is not intentional.

So from now on, just shut up and listen while the adults talk. When you learn something and can participate without embarrassing yourself, then you can join in.

Planting questions in a crowd is as old as gathering a crowd.

EVERYBODY DOES IT!!!

Politicians, Snake Oil Salesmen, Corporate Meetings, Church Revivals, etc.

The last thing anyone wants in a public meeting is silence. You have to get the crowd going with questions and make sure that there are no periods of prolonged silence. It is how any professional conducts a public meeting.

Repubs are outraged that Hilary would plant a question at a campaign event and could possibly do it while President…yet GWB has been pulling this crap for years from Jeff Gannon, Armstorng Williams, FEMA, Maggie Gallagher etc and nary a peep from these duplicitous fucks..

I will warn every DEM now that once a DEM is elected President, Rethugs will suddenly re-discover the following:

Checks and balances
Limits of executive power
The Constitution
Privacy Rights
Limits of Wiretapping Laws
Fiscal Discipline
Government Accountability

Mark my words….it is already happening with the DEM Congress

The FEMA fake press conference was orchestrated by the Director of External Affairs, not a “minor” flunky, and involved a significant number of FEMA employees. That’s quite a bit more than one Clinton campaign staffer.

Bush and his crew have at every turn effectively stolen from the public coffers to advance their agenda. From Bush’s fake town halls, to the use of the Social Security dept to push for privatization, to fake/paid off journalists, and now again with the FEMA presser. That isn’t only different on the merits, much of it is arguably illegal, or would be if the government weren’t being run by the mob.

The “second” planted question is no more than an accusation at this point and hasn’t been proven to have actually happened. In either instance, no canned question was, as far as we know, actually asked, merely suggested beforehand. I don’t approve of planting questions, but it’s hard to take these stories seriously when it is transparently obvious we are now fully entrenched in the media effort to disembowel Clinton’s campaign, truth be damned. Much as the media lavished air time on every purported scandal and accusation levied at the Clintons in the 90’s and busted their collective asses to make sure every false meme about Gore took root in 2000, so too are they now rushing to take every swipe possible at Hillary (just look at Russert’s pathetic debate performance).

And what does Bush have to do with anything? The “but, but, Bush did it too!” argument.

Grow up.

Actually, it’s now two separate incidents over two days.

At what point can we say it’s a trend rather than an isolated occurrence?

Looks like that maverick, low level flunky who did this all on his own without the knowledge or approval of Hillary either wasn’t fired after the first incident or else Hillary’s campaign staff appears to be riddled with out of control staffers.

“Leadership” implies that you have the capability to control members of your staff, doesn’t it?

Ummm… no. She opted out. It’s called Google, you fucking idiot.

You may exhale.

ooooo, knee-slapping right-wing humor.

You may think you’re Shakespeare, but you are actually one of the Three Stooges in a cheap suit.

Hmmm, “silly campaign activities” while campaigning to be the President of the United States. Yes, silly indeed.

Is hillary getting any FEDERAL matching funds for her campaign….?

Looks like that is my taxpayer money then ….

You take it a step further and suggest that old hillary knew nothing of it….then how did she know who to select for questions?

It’s the, “But, but, Clinton…” fallacy all over again. They find something that is superficially similar and latch onto the wrong aspect.

What someone does with their own money is their business, when the taxpayer is paying for it, that’s another matter. If you can’t understand the difference, you shouldn’t vote.

First of all, how can you assume Clinton was OR was not apart of this? Didn’t you just comment on Ben Smith’s blog to some assuming things? Yeah, you did.

The point is: If Hillary is pulling crap like this now .. what makes you think she wouldn’t do it as President?

You may exhale.
