CPAC protester tells reporter he was paid $60 to be there

[Little-Acorn]

So you thought that the people protesting the big conservative convention CPAC, were a grassroots movement of people who were genuinely concerned, and who thought conservatism was somehow harmful to the country?

You've been had.

Again.

Aren't you getting tired of being duped the same way, again and again?

‘Occupy CPAC’ protesters paid $60 for the day

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.

You extremist Right Wingers and your kooky conspiracy theories.... Obviously these people were political plants. The Evil Kock brothers paid these Republican operatives $100 each to show up and then tell whatever media they could find that it was the Unions and other Leftist organizations who paid them to show up. DUH!
