For years, Hillary Clinton has given me that not-so-warm-and-fuzzy Big Sister (1984) feeling. Friday’s town hall meeting in Iowa only has confirmed my intuition:
Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s campaign admitted Friday that it planted a global warming question in Newton, Iowa, Tuesday during a town hall meeting to discuss clean energy.
Clinton campaign spokesman Mo Elliethee admitted that the campaign had planted the question and said it would not happen again.
“On this occasion a member of our staff did discuss a possible question about Senator Clinton’s energy plan at a forum,” Elliethee said. …
The campaign’s admission that it planted the question may be another blow to the New York senator’s image as a trustworthy politician. …
“It’s what the Clinton campaign calls the politics of planting.”
Another step down that slippery slope… What kind of “planting” would we see if Hillary were president? What you sow, so shall you reap…
