More disturbing Hilary news brought to us by the ever-watchful conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh. This time Hillary Clinton is holding town hall meetings, and what you get from the Former First Lady when you actually ask her a tough non-partisan question isn't straight answers, but accusations that you must be some kind of plant. Read this summary from Rush Limbaugh's radio broadcast.
- Mrs. Clinton has been shielding herself from certain tough-minded reporters and certain questions she doesn't want to deal with.
- She's been praised by most other reporters for doing this, most recently Anne Kornblut in the Washington Post.
- When Mr. Clinton was lying through his teeth during the nineties, we got reports on how lying was clever and helpful – and how it spared feelings.
- The mainstream media marveled at how well Clinton lied.
- Mrs. Clinton ran into somebody in her own party at a town meeting in New Hampton, Iowa – Randall Rolph, of Nashua. He compared Mrs. Clinton's vote on Iran to the one Clinton cast for the Iraq war resolution, asking, "Why should I support your candidacy?"
- The vote he was complaining about was one she cast on the floor of the Senate to declare Iran's Revolutionary Guard a "terrorist organization."
- "Why should I support your candidacy?" Rolph asked. "You won't renounce your vote for the Iraq war. It appears you haven't learned from your past mistakes."
- Hillary immediately jumped to the conclusion that Rolph was a Republican plant, placed at the meeting for the sole purpose of making her look bad.
- Ironically, the reason she's thinking that such people are plants in her own crowd is simple -- it's the kind of thing her own campaign organization has done for years!

Like Rush implies, what does this say about the tactics of Hilary Clinton if she automatically accuses anyone of asking tough questions of being a plant? It probably says more about her tactics then those of her contestants. Was it a Freudian slip? Well, even we have to agree sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. However, a liar is always a liar. She should ask herself who is really using campaign plants. Heck, she seems to know a lot about how they work, don't you think?
