    Didn't the liberals try to tell us that the tea party was a "AstroTurf" movement consisting solely of paid operatives? I realize, of course, that as soon as everyone realize how silly that was, it magically morphed into a racist organization whose sole purpose was to keep down minorities. Then what was it, once that accusation brought nothing but laughter, a fringe group of extremists?

    So lets look at the occupy movement for a moment that you liberals hold so near and dear to your hearts.

    ‘Occupy CPAC’ protesters paid $60 for the day

    This next quote is a real gem.

    $60 a day is a lot of money for a broke bum. I can't say I blame them.

    I don't see anything wrong with paying protestors to protest.

    It's a good honest day's work for a good honest day's pay.

    Paying an homeless/poor guy to protest is like paying your friend to cover for you while you skip work. Your too lazy to do your own work yet your boss still thinks your not worthless.

    So it doesn't bother you that some of them didn't even know why they were there?

    It's a somewhat of a conflict of interest don't you think?

    If I had enough money, I could pretty much create whatever kind of movement I wanted.
