It has happened a few times in Clinton's campaign. What I don't believe is that she didn't know about it in Iowa. She was made aware of it before and if she didn't put the brakes to it, she is as responsible as if she had invited the questioner herself.
Obviously, the woman lies.

Absolutely not! I could not believe my eyes when I read that! My question is...How low will the Clintons finally go?
I am involved in and have been to all of Giuliani's campain and meet and greets locally. I can assure you that behavior is a no go. If someone even suggested such a thing they would be shipped to the Clinton campaign.
Rudy actually enjoys (to some degree) the contovertial questions. It gets them up front and dealt with. It's the radicals that ruin it for everyone. Unforunately there are many people out there with great insight, that don't get the opportunity to be heard because of them.
If you think the dirt's out on Hillary now, WAIT until she gets the candidacy!

It is another example of what propagandists call "engineered consent." It is nothing new, nor is it peculiar to Hillary. It has happened throughout the Bush administration. It is also a common public relations practice. If anyone thinks it is only Hillary then they are naive. Bush has done it, Corporations do it, Caesar did it. Much of what you see on local news is what is known as a VNR or video news release which is nothing more than an advertisement disguised as a news piece (i.e. a piece on the benefits of orange juice with "experts" who work fro Tropicana). As for character its a tough call - like steroids in baseball, do you want to be the one ethical loser? I don't have an answer there. I have advice, don't take any of these events at face value and fool yourself into think you are watching anything other than a controlled and orchestrated event. Get your news from multiple, reliable sources. I recommend against talk radio, blogs, pundit shows, and news sources that advertise themselves as "liberal" or "conservative." Most of these sources are opinions disguised as fact. They can add some spice and analysis depending on their quality, which varies, - but if you rely on them you will be uninformed. I'd also turn off the television because you won't get anything resembling quality from cable news - I don't care if it is CNN, Fox, or any of the others. Any fool can "have an opinion." Do the research and intellectual work you need to do to have an informed opinion.

Living through the Clinton administration, I now equate town hall meetings with political infomercials.

well most people trusted a candidate who had a drug record and barely passed college with a C then proceeded to be part of several cover-ups from foreign policy to his cabinet officials. So I dont see why not? At least she can read the prompter correctly and pronounce "nuclear"

I can't imagine a candidate who doesn't do stuff like that. I wouldn't trust any candidate anyway. I don't need something like this for me not to trust them.

Yes and no. All campaigns participate in this type of activity. I don't see where there is anything wrong with it if that tactic is used to get out your views. But if that tactic is used to attack your opponents, it is reason enough for me to not vote for the one that is doing the attacking.
I want you to tell me what you are bringing to the table, not you tell me what your opponent is or isn't bringing to the table.

I refuse to believe that candidates aids don't, with the best of intentions, try and do the same thing for each of the people they believe in.

TRUSTING A POLITICIAN?!?!?! Isn't that an oxymoron?
I don't make it a habit to trust anyone who can vote for his own raise - can misrepresent the facts of their voting record, to meet the needs of their political ambitions - or who aren't doing the job they were hired/elected/and are being paid to do!!!
I guess you can just call me ol' fashion like that...
