OK,I really despise Hillary, but does anybody really think other candidates aren’t doing the same? Standard politics.

Sadly I have been thinking the same thing since this first broke.

But it is so easy to dislike and mistrust Hillary.

I am sure many campaign staffers do this stuff, and mostly without knowledge of the candidate. You are right ... politics!

No. With the number of liberal news organizations (and this includes the AP and foreign press corps), news of conservatives who were planting questions would be played 24/7 everywhere around the globe.

Also, look at the record of resignations,forced resignation, and firings when it comes to political scandals. Most conservatives leave immediately or are forced to. Liberals who are busted and even convicted of crimes remain in office for years. If a conservative staffer was found to have been doing this, he/she would get the boot... and that would be a news story in itself.

It all comes down to character. Without double standards, liberals wouldn't have any standards at all.

None of the other campaigns have issued denials. I know I would be much more inclined to a candidate who admitted that the whole "questions from the crowd" technique is a fraud, and that of course his campaign stage manages his campaign events.

People are coming around to the notion that Hillary! is a manipulative liar who is brittle and unable to handle tough situations without blowing up. IMHO, this notion is pretty dead-on accurate. What do you think?

This "Planted Questions" story feeds into this growing consensus, and is therefore news. It is newsworthy when people confirm what has long been suspected of them. Thus when OJ commits armed robbery, it is a huge story, or when President Bush lies (or is mistaken) about something minor, it gets blown out of proportion. Similarly, when the masks slips and Hillary! reveals her true manipulative, lying and abusive nature, it gets major play.

It shows something here that it is Mrs. Clinton that is being caught up in it. That is a first. And it is NPR and CNN that are doing this to her.
