Thread: BUSTED: Occupy CPAC’ protesters paid $60 for the day [VIDEO]

Protesters at Friday’s “Occupy CPAC” event, organized by AFL-CIO and the Occupy DC movement, told The Daily Caller that they were paid “sixty bucks a head” to protest outside the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C.
One protester told TheDC that all the “Occupy” activists were being paid to protest, and that his union, Sheet Metal Workers Local 100, approached him about the money-making opportunity.
“I have nothing nice to say about Local 100. … They just told me ‘you wanna make sixty bucks? So c’mon,’” the protester said.
Other “Occupy CPAC” protesters were unwilling to speak on camera because they were unaware what they were protesting and what the CPAC event was about.

Some folks will do anything for a dollar.

Hey, I dont blame the unemployed people trying to make some money.

I do blame the union organizers that stooped to this level to get bodies at their protest.

This is a common Democrat/Socialist tactic of the same level as using the deceased SSAN's to register voters and paying skidrow bums a carton of cigarettes to go in and use them at the voting booth.

That has shifted now that they are able to tap into literally millions of illegal aliens voting in voter fraud.

Married to a retired Sheet Metal Worker I say 'dirtyword". Last year they sent one of their propaganda letters asking all union members including retiree's to contribute every paycycle to a fund for their political agenda. Needless to say we didn't give them a penny.

I'm a member of the NYC sheetmetal workers union.

It is nothing new. An acquaintance of mine told me that when he was visiting some friends in California a few years ago he saw ads in the paper almost every day advertising for people to protest whatever. The pay was for anything from a free lunch to hard cash (varying amounts). Obviously this is a common practice for activists who do not have a compelling message that appeals to enough people to join their protests based on principal alone.

It is because as my husband says they are not speaking for the rank and file.
