SendShaqtoIraq posted this on the Indiana forum a little bit ago. I thought everyone should see this.

Check to see if your local Dems are doing this, and flag the posting as spam!!

"Just found this on Indy craigslist:

Stand, Walk, Chant, Protest (Downtown)Date: 2011-03-01, 11:03AM EST Reply to: gigs-5rcwm-2240867280@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]

We need more men to protest this coming week. We will call in the morning on when we will need you. We pay $7.50. You will be helping out middle class workers in our State. This job is only for 4 - 6 hours at a time, usually between 3:00 PM till 7:00 PM Please send a picture when you e-mail."

Pretty sad when they have to advertise for paid protesters to make a point, eh?

It's not ASTROTURFING if Astroturfed-While-Democrat, right?

Republicans are warned not to refer to this as “Astroturfing,” which is something that only right-wingers and TEA Party members can do.

Should get a bunch of Freepers there to get paid doing this and then hold signs that say “Rent - A - Mob” and “We were hired from craig’s list”.

Are they filling out w-2s? If they get hurt while protesting can they file workers comp? As an employer they have liabilities. Are they insured? Private employers need thatn plus a whole lot more.

Just posted a screen-cap to all of my Facebook friends, some of which are big-time union supports and haters of conservatives.

One way, email the ad, see if they call you & offer you money!

Hah!

AT the end of the protest day, the paymaster will appear and tell them they “earned 40 bucks for their effort...

BUT! your union dues for this month are $110 dollars. Please write us a check for the difference.”

There’s really only one good solution: We need a rent-a-mob union!

Demands: $20 per hour minimum with a six hour minimum per day. Pay and a half if the weather is crappy. (Too cold, too hot, too windy, rain, sleet snow.)

And health benefits after 3 months.
