Clinton shill asks Chelsea about Monica

[not_too_L8]

She responded perfectly with a scripted answer

"Wow, you're the first person actually that's ever asked me that question in the, I don't know maybe, 70 college campuses I've now been to,'' Chelsea Clinton replied, during a campaign stop for her mother in the state holding a primary election on May 6.

"And I do not think that is any of your business," Clinton said.

1. Nicely played.

:thumbsup:

[not_too_L8]

43. And the question was actually about denial of the affair

Hillary's assertion it was the vast RW conspiracy

snip///
Then, a man in the audience at Butler University asked whether a statement Mrs. Clinton had made during the Lewinsky scandal had hurt her mother’s credibility. The younger Clinton’s reply:

So Chelsea's answer wasn't really that good

[ShortnFiery]

2. It's been reported here that Chelsea has been asked that question before.

:wow:

Do we dare play "gotch lying" with Chelsea by finding video of this question being asked before? ... Chelsea is, after all, 28 not 12 y.o.

[Tellurian]

62. No, theres no need to play gotcha!

and I believe the questioner was not necessarily a Clinton supporter. (I heard the lame reason for the question)

So, how have you been S&F.. you've been gone for a very long time.I missed you.. Did you physically go on vacay.. or did you post somewhere else for a change of atmosphere? :hi:

Tell

[Catherina]

64. Like mother, like daughter. n/t

[marshall]

70. I find it hard to believe she has NEVER been asked that by anyone

She can't be leading that sheltered a life. Surely she's got friends or co-workers who eventually feel comfortable enough to ask her those probing questions.

[Zueda]

3. Is there any footage of the questioner and the question itself?

I haven't seen it. Has anyone else?

[DemVet]

4. Actually this was an Obama shill. n/t

[berni_mccoy]

6. No. It was definitely a Clinton staffer.

[Zueda]

8. That's not what everyone is saying recently. n/t

[ShortnFiery]

12. Or so say the Hill shills. eom

Student Chelsea Rebuked Supports Hillary

28 minutes ago

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The college student who got a stinging brushback from Chelsea Clinton when he asked about Monica Lewinsky said Wednesday he's a Clinton supporter who was simply trying to show people "what makes Hillary so strong."

Evan Strange, a Butler University student who also works on the school's newspaper, The Butler Collegian, said he had asked Chelsea Clinton at her appearance Tuesday at the school for her opinion "on the criticism of her mother that how she handled the Lewinsky scandal might be a sign of weakness and she might not be a strong enough candidate to be president."


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[LisaM]

57. I don't believe that for one minute.

The second I heard that sound bite, it struck me that the person was not a Hillary supporter at all.

[berni_mccoy]

5. Sounds about right.

[bigtree]

7. Liar. You have NO proof of this and this post is a disgrace

[Zueda]

9. It's true! You are talking yesterday's news.

[berni_mccoy]

10. You didn't hear? Chelsea's been caught lying about this. It's all over the news.

[not_too_L8]

20. Funny, you accepted the story when.....

it was spun against Obama.

Why is that you are so quick to believe a negative against Obama, but call my post a disgrace?

[bigtree]

25. If you read my responses correctly, you will see that it is the standard Hillary's critics are using

. . . which I have, theoretically, applied to Obama's own 'misstatements' in judging them LIES. I don't accept the verdict, though, that Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton should be labeled liars for misstatements in this campaign which they repudiate.

I'm actually not so opposed to his candidacy to view his life experiencesand record with such a jaundiced eye as to denigrate him personally, or insist that these differences I have disqualify him for office. I think he'd be a GREAT president, as I do Sen Clinton.

41. If you think this proves this was a Clinton 'shill' then your relationship to the language

and truth is questionable, at best.

[jgraz]

42. "I'm a supporter of Hillary. I love Hillary,"

"I'm a supporter of Hillary. I love Hillary," Strange said Wednesday on CBS' "The Early Show." He said he asked the question because his friends "always bring up that scandal. It's not something I asked to cause trouble but to show those people what makes Hillary so strong."


Sounds like a shill to me.

[bigtree]

46. only in the benign sense of the word. You imply the person was a plant.

I really have a hard time believing a true Clinton supporter would raise the question, even using the logic he provided.

[CTyankee]

47. "her opinion" really isn't anybody else's business, if that is what the question is.

I can understand Chelsea not wanting to tell her opinion on what happened during or as a result of the Lewinsky fallout. The question was incredibly stupid and irrelevant and if Chelsea doesn't want to volunteer her personal opinion on it, that's fine with me.

[WolverineDG]

37. erm, see post #35 nt

24. Have you yet told MethaneProgressive that he/she is wrong?

[vi5]

13. What I didn't like about the answer...

..and if I misunderstood or got erroneous information as to what question was asked I apologize....but on the news this morning it was reportedly asked if the Lewinsky scandal and the way it played out would call into question Senator Clinton's judgement.

Responding that a candidate's fitness for office or judgement is "none of your business" seems more than a bit smug. If the person had asked how it made Chelsea feel or something of a more personal nature than "none of your business" would have been a perfectly commendable response to such a question. But if the question did in fact revolve around how Clinton's handling of the scandal might reflect on her judgement and which qualities that might illuminate for voters then it damn well is that person's business if they are a voter.

Again, I don't trust the news enough to know that they got the question right so I'll leave it at that. But if it was accurate then my opinion on it stands.

[crankychatter]

14. good call probably

I wish I'd have thought of it... I'd be making more money

buckle up for six weeks of snot slinging indignation

They're kidding themselves if they think NOYB is going to work in the GE.

36. CLINTON SUPPORTER ASKS CHELSEA ABOUT MONICA LEWINSKY - HE WAS SLEEP-DEPRIVED

fuck me a runnin'

this is pretty damn funny

[crankychatter]

38. sorry, lurid. sleazey, incendiary and spurious proclamations deserve caps

I'm just a chucklehead, relax.

[spotbird]

49. Vote for Hillary, the victim candidate

It's the centerpiece of her campaign, but God knows why.

A few weeks ago Penn or Wolfson compared Obama to Ken Starr. The Clinton campaign wants to revive the Lewinsky matter, it must rally some emotional response in people.

[Johnny__Motown]

53. their inability to answer a direct question makes them strong? nice job

[stillcool]

56. Loose lips...

those Clinton Supporters can't help but brag about their under-handed tactics.

[Catherina]

63. That's probably where "Iron My Shirt" came from too.

They're so lame. The media should highlight this story too.

[Whisp]

71. yep. I didn't believe that one either. just for the fact that Hillary

came back with some witty reply on the fly.
She's not like that - she needs her lines fed like the Chimperor.

66. WTF!@>!@$!@#

[VolcanoJen]

72. Oh, that is rich! The hits just keep on comin'!

ObamaBots are well trained!

[not_too_L8]

40. LOL ....Hillshill

[Enrique]

44. she was probably prepared for the question

because the Clinton campaign is somewhat competent.

But the questioner probably wasn't a shill, probably wasn't even a Clinton supporter as he claims.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

45. Maybe a shill, maybe just a rude jerk ...

Chelsea's answer was a good one, but you're right: it was scripted. It seemed like a well-rehearsed delivery of the answer.

[not_too_L8]

48. The question was actually about Hillary's denial

see post 43

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

50. Yes, but the answer was scripted,

to be triggered by the word "Lewinsky" or any word related to that whole incident. Just a canned response. In the replay I saw on TV, the answer was almost robotic.

[not_too_L8]

76. agreed

[MethuenProgressive]

51. Still no varification of the claim by the ObamaBot that he "loves" Hillary?

Obviously the ObamaBot wouldn't admit he was one of "them" when on TV.

[not_too_L8]

52. The way the question was asked makes me believe he ....

actually is a Hillary supporter.

The question was did Chelsea think the response of Hillary to the media being that (Hillary thought the Monica thing was made up by the vast right wing conspiracy) would hurt her credibility.

It was judgment question not about the affair

[MethuenProgressive]

54. He claims his name is "Evan Strange" and that he "loves" Hillary - Total BullShit.

Still no varification he's a "Clinton Supporter". What moran would "evan" think that after the question he asked? Geeez, put the HillHate aside for a sec and smell the coffee!

[not_too_L8]

55. Have a link to more info...I'd like to read more

[not_too_L8]

60. When read in the full context...not so much like BS

Evan Strange, a Butler University student who also works on the school's newspaper, The Butler Collegian, said he had asked Chelsea Clinton at her appearance Tuesday at the school for her opinion "on the criticism of her mother that how she handled the Lewinsky scandal might be a sign of weakness and she might not be a strong enough candidate to be president."

It wasn't clear what aspect of the former first lady's actions he was referring to. Before she was fully aware of President Bill Clinton's relationship with Lewinsky, a White House intern, Hillary Rodham Clinton said the allegations about that relationship were manufactured by a "vast right-wing conspiracy."

Strange's question brought a stinging rebuke from Clinton's daughter. "Wow, you're the first person actually that's ever asked me that question in the, I don't know maybe, 70 college campuses I've now been to, and I do not think that is any of your business," Chelsea Clinton said during the campaign visit for her mother.

"I'm a supporter of Hillary. I love Hillary," Strange said Wednesday on CBS' "The Early Show." He said he asked the question because his friends "always bring up that scandal. It's not something I asked to cause trouble but to show those people what makes Hillary so strong."

He said that by brushing him off, Chelsea Clinton missed an opportunity to show her mother's strength.

"I was very surprised" at the rebuke, Strange said. "I can see where she'd get a little defensive because of the question and hearing Lewinsky over and over again, but I would like to hear her say something about Hillary rather than dismissing the question."

58. Yes, OP, you must know quantify, vivisect, and prove your feelings

feeling them isn't enough anymore, I'm afraid.

[walldude]

59. Who gives a fuck about Chelsea?

Is she running for President? Then why do you care? Please, let me in on the bit of info I'm apparently missing that causes people to make even the most inane comments from either side into, THE END OF DEMOCRACY AS WE KNOW IT!

[not_too_L8]

61. It's not about Chelsea, it's about tactics

[walldude]

67. The tactics of Hillary supporters?

According to every article I have had to endure, it was a Hillary supporter who puled this stupid bullshit..

Besides you could take my post as a shot at the cheap tactics as well. This stupid exchange is talked about like it's major news. We sit here and bitch about the MSM then we follow their lead. I just don't get it.
