It will take clawing back a GOP majority in Congress with a GOP president, but turnabout is fair play.

At the risk of belaboring the obvious, the lib gangs can count on their media bosses to cover for them, just as they have for fifty years.
In contrast to previous years (Chicago ‘68 riots, Kremlin sponsored anti-nuke movement, etc.) it won’t be enough.

Btw, why do I refer to the media rather than the lib agitators themselves as the bosses? I have thought for a long time that a lot of people on the right have this relationship backwards. The media are not the propaganda arm of the left, as often claimed. It is the other way around: The left as we know and loathe it is the political arm of the media-industrial complex.

we got it...

I wonder if the MSM will jump on this story - dems having to hire people to show up at "townhall meetings". dems are such liars.

[sickoflibs]

Nice catch, still think conservatives should get paid to infiltrate them.

[clintonh8r]

I think I'll sign up, and then show up and go over to the "angry mob." That would piss 'em off!

[GOPJ]

sickoflibs - - You stay put and be safe... don’t even think about it - they’d probably kill you if they found out.

[ConservativeColumns]

They’ve completely dominated both elected branches of the federal government for the better half of a year now... How are they still recruiting people to fight for “change”?

[Chickensoup]

So,,,isnt it time for FReepers to take the jobs? Certainly would be important to have some people on the ground seeing how these folks work.

Would also be wonderful having people paid to do nothing or monkey wrench their process.

[OrioleFan]

Or attacking vendors selling American Flags.

My first encounter with paid protesters was at a hearing held by the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities in Chicago. Along with friends I went to support the committee. Outside, students from the Univ of Wisc were carrying signs supporting the communists. I asked several why they were doing this and each said because they were paid to get on the bus, as was everybody else who boarded. It was a paid job for them with no concern about selling out their country. The real believers were in the room where the hearing was held and on a signal from their leader rose up and distrupted by shouting etc. This march to replace our republic with a socialist govt has been going on for a very long time and the public is now realizing how serious the Obama administration is about installing the new order as swiftly as possible. Slowing the Obamaites down now might buy enough time for the 2010 elections to restore some order to our govt. Hiring brown shirts to knock heads demonstrates the arrogance of these traitors and is a signal for us to keep protesting and drawing them out even more.

Who is paying for this? Is the California Public Interest Research Group [CPIRG] funded by our tax dollars? Does anyone know?

[Tom Hawks]

Mission statement of the group who put this add on CL. We need to find out if they get goverment funds.

Mission statement: When corporate wrongdoing threatens our health or our safety, or violates fundamental principles of fairness and justice, CALPIRG stands up for the public. We conduct investigative research. We publish consumer reports and exposes. We advocate new laws and other protections at the local, state and federal levels. And when necessary, we take corporate wrongdoers to court. Our results-oriented approach has won victories for Californians on a wide range of issues, including healthcare reform, prescription drug pricing, consumer privacy and product safety.

So why can’t there be a conservative version of ACORN already.

Because we aren't willing to loot the treasury to pay them.

[ponygirl]

I think I'll sign up, and then show up and go over to the "angry mob." That would piss 'em off!

Especially if you took their cash first!

[org.whodat]

So why can’t there be a conservative version of ACORN already.

The 24 million dollar question, why did the republicans keep funding them when they ran the house?

The following is a little weird.

So, I looked up about the group who put on the Add for Craigs list and found out that the Director of citizen outreach for the group is one 'Ed Johnson'.. So I did some investigation and found out that he is tied in with Moveon. org. Check this information I found from this web site,

MoveOn PAC

Campaign Director

Ed Johnson

>On Election Day, MoveOn PAC set up hospitality tents near hundreds of polling places.  Citing reports of MoveOn activists operating within 100 feet of polling places, the Minnesota Republican Party sought unsuccessfully to obtain a temporary restraining order against the group.  MoveOn PAC's Eli Pariser issued this statement from Washington, DC: 

A Hennepin County, Minnesota court this afternoon threw out a Republican request for a temporary restraining order against MoveOn PAC for lack of evidence.

Republican witnesses were unable to testify under oath that any of the volunteers involved in an alleged incident within 100 feet of the polls were associated with MoveOn PAC. Both witnesses, it turned out, were volunteers for the Minnesota Republican Party. The judge found that they were not credible.

"This supports our contention that this was a harassment lawsuit, not based on facts," explained Eli Pariser, Executive Director of MoveOn PAC.  "It's purpose was to make news today to suppress voter turnout, and build a false record to use for any possible voter challenges."

"Republicans have been smearing MoveOn all year," Pariser continued. "This is nothing new. It's their modus operandi. Early results today tend to suggest that the American public is not falling for lies and smears."

This guy has been a party activist involved with moveon.org for quite some time./\
