Obama Supporters Being Paid to Show Up At Town Halls and Be Loud

Just returned from fishing with my little boy. Or should I say, just returned from feeding the fish. Little fish kept eating our bait. Glad something liked the nightcrawlers we used.

Anyway, I just came across this interesting tidbit in the LA Times. The Fund for the Public Interest is promising $400 to $600 a week to volunteers for helping to get people to show up at town hall events.

It seems that Mr Obama cannot garner up enough support to have people show up on their own free will. Instead, his supporters have to pay people to show up. Seems to me that if someone likes an idea enough then they will show up without having to be paid. Maybe this is a sign that people really do not like it.

ACORN and the SEIU are also getting into the act, Just yesterday, they bused in people from another district to counteract the overwhelmingly large crowd that showed up at an Arlen Specter meeting in opposition to the plan.

Here is the video. Pay attention to a couple of things:

• Read the sign of one of the SEIU people yelling that says, "Yelling is counter productive"
• Take notice of all the red ACORN shirts, the bus loads of people wearing ACORN buttons, and the few people who dared to wear their blue union shirts.
