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.

Dude, ever since the video of the stupid asshole who loved Obama and was all for his platform (which was really McCain's ) and loved that he picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. I have stopped believing that people even know what the fuck they are talking about. So, no I'm not surprised that these idiots have no actual idea what they are protesting and are there only for the money.

Remind me again, how many TEA Party participants were paid to be at their demonstrations?
