Ok I will torrent it. If I can then I will link you up.

These people they are hiring are either protesters themselves or are/will be encourging the protesters.

It's called aiding and abetting...

Ok how many protesters are they hiring? It would have to be at least a thousand to make an impact.. that's $500,000 a week for their wages. Ok maybe thats too many let's just say 500 protesters, that $250,000 a week, does that sound more likely..? Get a grip Boon, they are hiring staff to help organise their involvement in the demonstrations.

All you are doing really is highlighting the the cause of the protesters and those organisations that are getting involved further. The protests of the Tea-party and the OWS are not entirely dissimilar, but the OWS is more literate and more astute.

The OWS protests are fighting for the rights of the Teabaggers too, it's just that the Teabaggers are too dumb to understand it, but some will, I'm sure there will be a drift of many of the Tea-party protesters that joined up because they wanted to be heard, that will see the message of the OWS as more representative of their own situation.

Dude do not even entertain this. It is a fraud. He is pushing lies here. American political action groups routinely hire off the street on both sides. It is another lie.

I'm looking to join the protest to hang those responsible for the Solyndra loan scandal and Barney Franks for support of the Frannie and Freddi expansions and for not having adequate controls established for their oversight. We need to linch these folks up as well as those responsible for Wall Street shams and failures.

Another buffoon. Take up ranks with your fellow idiot booners. Get ready to be clowned on every idiotic point you post.

These are mostly rif raf college grads with no jobs. Rotten luck for them. The govt. pushed for the loans to unqualified home buyers and useless blacks - thats right useless blacks - and Wall Street delivered. The financial colapse was caused by Uncle Sam.

I am in NY, forecast is for rain Wed or Thurs, should put a damper on things. Also will turn cold in 2 weeks. Was 85 last weekend, lets see who many hang around when it goes into 30's at night. . Not me for sure, will be having a cold Chang this weekend.

Well said Marine!

Occupy Wall Street: Who are the targets of the 'Millionaires March?'

Occupy Wall street protesters Tuesday marched on the residences of some of the power brokers they say are responsible, at least in part, for the nation's economic ills.

The Occupy Wall Street movement got personal Tuesday as protesters marched on the residences of some of the richest and most powerful residents of New York City.

Banker Jamie Dimon. Billionaire political donor David Koch. Fox News magnate Rupert Murdoch.
Those were some of people targeted in a so-called "millionaires march." The Occupy Wall Street supporters have pitched their three-week-old protest as movement by "the 99 percent." This march puts a face on the "1 percent" they oppose, power brokers who they allege are responsible, at least in part, for the nation's economic ills.


Where protesters in the 1960s had "the Man" to fight against, the "1 percent" may be today's equivalent code word for an establishment elite -- and those who enable or profit from it.


Hundreds of the 99-percenters marched along New York sidewalks Tuesday, pacing two-by-two because they didn't have a permit and were trying not to disrupt ordinary traffic.

Occupy Chicago Protestor Getting Paid $22/Hour Plus Overtime


Business Insider has obtained a video interview of a seemingly well-informed Chicago protestor who mentions -- almost in passing -- that he gets paid $22 an hour plus overtime to participate in a Chicago offshoot of the "Occupy Wall Street" protests.
The man describes his protesting work as a "full time gig" and added that an unnamed benefactor, who is presumably providing the salary, is "getting [his] money's worth."
An hourly wage of $22 per hour is three times the current minimum wage of $7.33.

[Updated Oct. 11, 3:30 p.m.]

A Chicago-based "Occupy Wall Street" protestor is allegedly getting paid -- more than many Americans with actual jobs -- to protest corporate greed and the unemployment rate in the United States.

Business Insider has obtained a video interview of a seemingly well-informed Chicago protestor who mentions -- almost in passing -- that he gets paid $22 an hour plus overtime to participate in a Chicago offshoot of the "Occupy Wall Street" protests.

The man describes his protesting work as a "full time gig" and added that an unnamed benefactor, who is presumably providing the salary, is "getting [his] money's worth."

An hourly wage of $22 per hour is three times the current minimum wage of $7.33.

It is unclear if the protestor is legitimate or if he is an actor hired to discredit the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. If he is an actor, he's a good one -- he appears well-versed on the grievances of the "Occupy" protestors, and doesn't mention the renumeration until later in the interview.

This a link to the same article as before. I am really starting to think you don't read anything but the headline.

That man must really be stupid to give up his $22 an hour to protest and join the unemployment line.

And I thought the OWS protesters were more clever than Tea Partiers.

Stop reposting shit booners especially unfounded lies. The poster of that video concedes that he doesn't know that it is true. This is nothing more then some rightwing teaturd who put on some scruffy clothes and went down to the local bus stop with a sign while his buddy filmed the so called interview.

Pure garbage.

Yep. Just like them nasty Tea Baggers, huh?

Occupy Wall Street Zombies Lastest Chant: “You Can Have Sex With Animals”


So this is what Obama and Pelosi are supporting?
Occupied Wall Street zombies chant “You can have sex with animals” at Zuccotti Park. Urban Infidel braved the odor to catch this grotesque display in New York.

In light of what has been/is happening worldwide, discussion of pay-to-protest concepts are insanely idiotic.
