"George Soros is advertising on Craigs List: He'll pay $11.50 an hour

[proud2BlibKansan]

to people who will go to town halls and promote Obamacare!"

Just heard on my local right wing radio show.

Un. Freakin. Real.

Don't they understand that we are willing to promote good policy without being paid?! They are the greedy idiots who want to be paid for every little thing they do.

1. yeah, getting paid to do it would just delegitimize it.... i think that the stuff going on

with these buses and such going around to disrupt, were the media to actually report the truth about the 'grassroots' of it... would be perfectly clear what it is. people actually WANT reform... we want it... and don't need money to want it either.

4. I started to look it up even though I was sure it is a lie

And my son, who was in the car with me when I heard this (and he knows Craigs list better than I do) said there is a name (or maybe it was an identifying number?) that the guy could have given to make it easy to find. But he didn't offer that. So he said it's probably bullshit.

2. You believe what they say on right wing radio? nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Oh yes

:sarcasm: :eyes:

[sofa king]

3. I know I couldn't afford to do it unless someone paid me.

But I'm one of those poor Americans who doesn't count.

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. I'm sorry. What would the expense be?

[sofa king]

11. Getting there.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. If you were nearby, I would give you a ride

[sofa king]

18. I appreciate that, but I'm a long way from Kansas!

[GodlyDemocrat]

7. Where do I sign up?

:D

[Barack_America]

8. Oh yes, I'm sure he is. Just as certainly as Obama's Kenyan BC is legit.

9. This is a Right Wing Talking Point

This must be some sort of right wing talking point. Here is a post by rightwinger making this claim http://www.rhouseparty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=27409&postcount=1 I would love to see something debunking this bullshit

10. Why don't you call them and ask them for a link.

If they can't give you one -- as there aren't any jobs like that listed on CL in your state that I can see, anyway -- then you could write a LTTE to your local paper calling them out on their lie.

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. I did try to call but they weren't taking any more calls.

[Gothmog]

15. Here is a link from a debate on another site

This appears to be some sort of right wing talking point. Here is a link that was posted by a right wing idiot on another site http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/etc/1303066561.html

16. I don't see George Soros name there, do you?

[gratuitous]

14. And when you catch them in the lie . . .

They will first deny ever having said any such thing. Confronted with an audiotape, they’ll squirm and bluster that it must have been doctored. When the tape is confirmed legitimate, they’ll say they were misquoted or something, and what they meant to say was that they wouldn’t be surprised to find out that George Soros was advertising on Craig’s List. By that time, the whole thing should have blown over, and their usual standard of integrity will be unsullied and their rabid listeners will again be able to rail against librul witch hunts. In addition to the evil Mr. Soros advertising on Craig’s List.

19. Oh come now ... they'd never do any such thing ...

17. um, that's considerably more than I'm making in my new career

making sandwiches at Subway. At it's probably much easier work too. Is he hiring in Maine?

Just call me a greedy idiot. I desperately need the work to feed my family.
