Oh my.

A video's at the link too, but I dunno what's said in it.

Quote
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 don't have to know what you're protesting. You simply obey what the union tells you to do.

Thinking is unprogressive.

No big surprise there. They get paid to sit on their ass, they get paid to vote democrat so naturally they expect to get paid to protest.
