‘Why the Hell Did I Call on You?‘ Fiery Christie Responds to Accusation of ’Planting Questions’

Last week, it was NJ Gov. Chris Christie asking Obama, “What the hell are we paying you for?” This week, it was him asking a constituent “Why the hell did I call on you?”
The latter came after a man accused Christie of “planting questions” at a town hall meeting that occurred in March. Mediaite explains the accusation:
“Do you or your staff ever plant questions at a town hall meeting?” After answering “no” and that he “barely remember[ed] being in Nutley,” the town in which the man asking claimed the planting occurred, he asked how the man got to an “understanding” that questions were planted. “I was sitting next to a woman who said she was a friend of yours,” the man explained, a woman named Candy who claimed to be a friend of the governor’s.
Christie wasn’t having any of it.
“You really, in front of this group, with all the problems we have in this state– you’re wasting these people times with a question on whether we plant questions in the audience?”
Then came the money quote: “If I planted the question, why the hell did I call on you?”
You can watch it all below (courtesy of the Star-Ledger), including Christie’s warning before the Q&A that is almost as good as the exchange:

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 9:37amGovernor Christie is a typical elitist who ignores the electorate for his own agenda.
He got caught in a deception and instead of apologizing he obfuscates. Instead of answering the question he attacks the questioner.
A one term wunderkind.

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 2:05pmWhen people make comments that a person is this or that (elitist in this example) it would really be instructive to the rest of us if they would include an explanation or example so that we can see the frame of reference from the poster. In the absence of an intelligent explanation for the assertion that Christie is an “elitist” I would have to guess that either you are one of the people we “spread the money around” to or that you belong to the teachers or other public employee union. I think that Christie is much more of an “everyman” who is attempting to do what is right for the majority of New Jersey residents. He is not a far right small government conservative, but is a guy who understands arithmetic and works to fix the imbalance that was left by Corzine. I am interested to know why you make the elitist comment and where you feel you were wronged by Christie’s policies. By the way he did very directly answer the question several times.

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 2:26pmHe answered the question!!! Several times. The answer was NO!!! Look, I realize that liberals now a days believe that if they get something in their head it HAS to be correct. But, just because that man ASSUMED that because the person may or may not have been friends of the Govenor that meant the question was a plant doesn’t make him RIGHT!!! If Christie were planting questions then this particular question wouldn’t ever have seen the light of day, nor would the MANY anti-Christie questions that I’ve seen time and time again on this website ever have been asked. You liberals all want to accuse the right of the very things that the left is the most guilty of themselves. You want someone to answer for planted questions how about you take your anger to the WHITE HOUSE because I’ve never seen so many planted questions than in ANY so-called “Town Hall Mtg’s“ with the ”LIAR in Chief.” Get a clue!!!

Christie said he doesn’t plant questions, and the guy said he overheard something by somebody who claimed to be a friend of the governor. That’s hardly proof of anything. And eve if question are or were planted? Who cares? What does it matter? Obviously the governor is not loading up his town hall meetings with his supporters like Obama does. Have you ever heard anybody at an Obama speech ask him a tough question? He speaks in front of so many plants he might as well be giving his speeches in greenhouses! I hate this game where democrats get to do whatever the heck they want no questions asked and republicans are held up to some phony standard that apparently doesn’t exist. I applaud Christie, who I’m no big fan of, for calling this guy’s question what it was–a waste of time.

You just can’t believe that someone has done some alleged thing based on hearsay. The Gov made his point beautifully by drawing on the obvious, and that is by calling on the moron who was wasting everyone’s time on something really, really stupid. As for not answering his question, he answered it several times. As for “attacking” him, it wasn’t an attack it was a response to a truly stupid accusation.

But, only Romney has the ability to pull in the moderate, undecided and disaffected democratic votes. They will be the ones to elect the new president. All of the other candidates are at a deficit in that regard. Romney has the most important skill of all, most needed at this time–tremendous business expertise and experience that will be needed to get this country working again. He has proven himself in government and in business to be able to do this. No one else has. He has not shamed himself in his personal life so we don’t have to be ashamed of him as president. Maybe he is not as far right as many would like. So be it. He is also not as far left as many say he is. Look at his record. He has consistently trended more conservative as time goes on, not back and forth, but steadily toward the right. I have observed him for some time and am determined he will be the one to save this country right now. Don’t be fooled by the flavor of the month. Consider the whole man and not just the soundbite!

You are a big time fool if you think Newt is no better than Obama. Newt may not be a perfect candidate, but he beats the hell out of the alternative. Get a life and stop being so ignorant!

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 9:24amA better answer would have been: I’m not Obama. I don’t have a pre-loaded set of answers on a teleprompter to a set of planted questions. If I did, I wouldn’t have called on you.

Posted on December 8, 2011 at 5:53amNo, the old guy should have said, “You called on me because you did NOT know I overheard the question being planted.” I don’t believe the old guy, but he got out-talked if he was trying to be a smartass, or if he was a “plant” himself.
That retort being (thankfully) unsaid, I still liked what Christie said & time-wasting blame shifting by townhall attendees should be put down. The Gov. is nice enough to attend, ask him a pertinent question.

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 9:22amThe fact that Christie called on the man at this event is irrelevant since he’s being asked about a previous event. Christie is slick, that‘s why I don’t like him. Seeing the rave reviews in this comment section causes me concern.

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 2:00pmDo you know what Christie’s problem is? He is the person that the U.S. needs to fight the Muslim terrorist that is in the W.H. and he is refusing to help America. Washington didn’t want to be President, but the new nation needed him and he stepped up to the plate. Christie is refusing to step up when Americans need a leader more than ever. Greatness comes to those that do the impossible when confronted with insurmountable dangers and Christie is turning his back.

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 9:03amThe Obama/ International Left Media Machine is on a march to destroy their opposition: Republicans, conservatives, capitalism, city budgets, national budgets, America as we’ve known it. They are organized, scripted, all-present, and well funded. Will take a response , of equal caliber, to beat the Far Left current Democrats, the Party of the SEIU Mobs, in 2012. And, of course, the Democrats will – following Saul Alinsky’s campaign design – hold the Republicans to higher standards than Democrats must adhere to just because Republicans are Republicans ! Fasten your seat belts, it will be a very bumpy ride. Hope Republican candidates fare better than Palin and Cain . The Democrats are out to assassinate – the characters of all potential Republican candidates with the usual dirty political tactics which seem to be “occupying” the Democrat’s 2012 campaign playbook. The Democrats call it “change.”

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 9:42amI‘ll have to look up the entire history of the governors NJ has had but Christie is probably the first good governor we’ve had since the first governor: William Livingston, 1776-1790. Our list of governors includes George B. McClelland, Jim Florio, Jim McGreavy and now potential prisoner Jon Corzine. There were a lot of governors in between and things looked promising in the beginning. The first four governors were Federalists followed by members of the Democratic/Republican parties? I guess they wanted to please everybody belonging to a party like that. Anywho, this is a boring post so I’ll leave t at that.
