Democrats Advertising For Pro Obama Protesters on Craigs List

The leadership of the Democratic party, along with their President and the Mainstream Media they control, have been making accusations about the people attending the town hall meetings. According to the Democrats, the people protesting the Obamacare are nothing but actors organized by the crazy right wing and the insurance industry. There is no proof for this charge because it isn't true.

The Democrats, on the other hand are advertising for paid actors to work for the passage of Obamacare, Newsbusters reports:

Take for example the following advertisement placed at the online website Craiglist Monday (h/t Patrick Ruffini):
**TALENTED LEADERS needed to work for health care reform $11-16/hour**

Or how about some of these identified by Dr. Melissa Clouthier Sunday (h/t Walt Gilbert)

Aug 7 – Make social change – Help Pass Obama’s Health Care Reform!!! – (Sacramento) img <
Aug 4 – Help pass Obama’s Health Care Reform!!! Earn $9-14 an hour!!! – (Sacramento) img
Aug 3 – ***Help Pass Obama’s Health Care Plan and Earn $325-$500/Week – (Sacramento, CA) img <
Jul 31 – Help Pass Obama’s Health Care Reform! Earn $325-550 per week! – (Sacramento) img <

What do these ads seem to all have in common other than helping to pass ObamaCare?
A group called The Fund for the Public Interest:

Fund For The Public Interest is a national nonprofit organization working to increase the visibility, membership and political power of the nation’s leading environmental and progressive groups.

The Fund was launched in 1982 to develop campaigns and technologies to engage Americans in public interest advocacy efforts. Through our fundraising and non-fundraising canvasses, we've gathered over 20 million petition signatures over the past 25 years and raised over $20 million for our partner organizations in the last year alone.

Current Fund partners like Sierra Club and Human Rights Campaign are expanding their donor base and passing tougher legislation against air pollution, forest clear-cutting, hate crimes, and special interest money in politics. We owe our success to the fusion of our staff’s grassroots organizing experience, cost-conscious attitude and work ethic with our partner groups’ issue expertise, initiative and vision.

Now, they're recruiting for folks to help pass ObamaCare.

There is nothing illegal with their recruiting efforts, but the hypocrisy of the pro-Obamacare forces is just another example of the President's Chicago politics, place a false label on your opponents by accusing them of doing what you are doing.

Just another example of how the Democratic party does not really care what their constituents think. They just want to ostracize them.
