Clinton Campaign Defends Planted Questions

Democratic presidential frontrunner Senator Hillary Clinton’s campaign was forced to admit that it has been planting questions at her public appearances. Clinton campaign spokesman Mo Elliethee admitted that the campaign has been regularly planting questions, but defended the practice.

“Let’s face it, too few of the people at these events are smart enough to formulate a coherent question,” Elliethee claimed. “The Democratic Party’s constituency is over-weighted toward the ill-informed and under-educated. If they could hack it they wouldn’t need the government programs the candidates are devising to help them.”

To bolster his argument, Elliethee recounted the time in 1992 when a questioner asked then presidential candidate Bill Clinton whether he preferred “briefs or boxers.” “If we leave the questions up to the average person we’re taking a big chance,” Elliethee warned. “I mean, what’s Senator Clinton going to do when some goofball asks her whether she prefers ‘guys or gals?’”

In related news, both openly-gay members of Congress have endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. Representative Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), the only acknowledged lesbian in the House, endorsed Clinton months ago. This week Representative Barney Frank (D-Mass.), the only admitted homosexual man currently serving in congress, came out for Clinton. “Senator Clinton has always been a staunch advocate for homosexual rights,” Frank said. “She understands our needs like she was one of us.”

Ain’t it the truth and they got this right.

Is this from The Onion or Scrappleface? The Dhims would never admit to this or any other fault about their minidless, lockstep sycophants.

The only important difference between Nazi-ism, Fascism, Communism, Socialism and Liberalism is the spelling, and that the last group hasn’t got the brains to figure it out.

Heh, heh. Or, whether she prefers guys who used to be gals or gals who used to be guys.

It's all true except for the part about them admitting it...

Let's face it ... this is what the Democrats and the Democratic Party believe of the American citizen and voter! An opinion closely akin to what the King thought of his subjects, be they in England or in the Colonies. The colonists finally had enough of him.

I'm wondering when the American people will see the light regarding the Democrats.
