I'm waiting for Obama to take to Letterman or The Daily Show in a last ditch effort to stop this from collapsing. Obama's been outplayed at every turn by old folks, angry rednecks, soccer moms and just plain working stiffs. You know foreign leaders will see him as easy pickings from now on.
these old folks are old fools if the old fools are on medicare i say we ban that
sanrene and her pal viewfromthepeak think only democrats and liberal-democrats have them only
Certainly not, as was pointed out earlier in the thread and demands repeating:

It is KNOWN that 70% of the people at Obama's town hall were selected randomly.
And those who were not selected randomly did not have their questions pre-screened.

About 1,800 people are expected for that midday event in the Democratic-leaning Seacoast region of the Granite State. Of those, 70 percent were given tickets based on a random lottery -- a potentially dicey crowd in a state known for its grass-roots political activism.

I know you righties would love to believe the left is as deceitful as the right - but it isn't true.
One side has been caught with evidence to the case.
The other side is accused, yet no evidence has been provided.
It would be a logically fallacy to assume the other guilty with statements that "all do it" and it would be an excuse to the side that did do it.
Did you not watch the video linked above? It's a Republican, who is definitely affiliated with a party in a very overt way, in spite of her claims to the contrary.

It is not known how the crowd was screened or selected. You are simply repeating an AP report (fox news was not the source). AP is reliable, but there is no detail of that 70% random selection - is this information from the white house? selected how? From democrat congressman list of "friends"? From the white house internet site? From ACORN? How was the seating selected? - were the 30% that were not random given choice seating (would explain all the smiling yes-men behind the president). Just not enough information.
Not saying GOP doesn't do the same thing, but only someone naive would think yesterdays town hall wasn't a little fishy. Heck you even had (liberal) Helen Thomas asking about it in today's white house press briefing!
The question here in this thread isn't weather the crowd was screened, everyone agrees it was. The question was - is the little girl a plant? I don't think she was myself, that's a bit too sleazy even for a Chicago politician. But it was awfully supsicious. And it's clear she would not be there without her mother's connections.
Related to the above, about a "staged" Obama town meeting in July. By the way, Helen Thomas is about as liberal a reporter (and as old) as it gets. I don't like her, but if is something in regards to manipulating or deceiving the press she is all over it.

I like her quote: even "“Nixon didn’t try to do that.” Below the article has a slight opposing viewpoint, for those accusing this site of being biased.
