The mother of a sixth-grade Malden girl, whose mean sign question to President Obama at his Portsmouth, N.H., health care forum was a softball that he slugged out of the park, insisted yesterday the child was not a plant.
I thought it was great, Kathleen Manning Hall said of Obamas answer to the question posed by her daughter Julia.
The girl became a target of conservative critics such as Michelle Malkin yesterday, who alleged that the poised and eloquent 11-year-old was a plant after the revelation that her mother served as an organizer for Obamas campaign.

She should be ashamed of using her child as a partisan pawn.

The mother of a sixth-grade Malden girl, whose mean sign question to President Obama at his Portsmouth, N.H., health care forum was a softball that he slugged out of the park, insisted yesterday the child was not a plant. She tossed him a softball which he ignored, took another ball from the equipment bag and fouled it off. She asked a question and his answer was only peripherally related to it.

Planting major falsehoods has been a favorite Alinsky strategy from the start. His acolyte, Barack Obama, learned his Industrial Areas Foundation lessons on deceiving for power while on a side trip during his Harvard years, then taught the Alinsky power tactics at the University of Chicago.
Hardly qualifies as Constitutional Law’ if you ask me.
Covering for oneself by accusing the other fellow has been the left’s most successful deception for decades now. It took on its best traction lately, as leftists within Moveon.org and others have used this Nazi smear tactic for the past eight years against George W. Bush. They’ve seen how well it’s worked and just can’t stop themselves now.

Gibbs added that audience members were selected randomly by computer. main()
{
if (rand() >= 0)
printf("Ask the planted little girl\n");
else
printf("Error!\n");

It’s simply evidence of the Democrats using gooey sentimentality and little kids to sell their lousy programs.

I wonder what the reaction would have been if an 11-year old had stood up and said, “Why do you wanna kill Grandma?”

Thanks! Oh, and proof that they knew each other before the town meeting... 2nd picture is Mom with Obama which was posted on her facebook profile! Note Mom in both pictures - how proud is she?

Must be. Gibby the Hamster never tells a lie.

Ouch! Why do I get the feeling that mom she has a “I’m already against the next war” bumper sticker or “A.N.S.W.E.R.” Perhaps, the one in my tagline. Definitely, “Yes, we can” or something related.

Gibbs added that audience members were selected randomly by computer.I wonder if this particular computer (assuming that Gibbs isn't lying) is the same computer that handles "flag@whitehouse.gov" email. You wouldn't think that a President that stacked the attending audience would screen questioners against the "snitch list", do you?

The unanswered question is:
Whose/what database was used for the “random selection”? NARAL membership list?
