Help-wanted ads are appearing on Craigslist that offer to pay citizens $24,000 a year, plus health insurance, to "counter the hysteria and lies of Glenn Beck and other talking heads" and "stop the tea-baggers!"
The ads are being posted by Grassroots Campaigns, a canvassing group that has performed services for the Democratic National Committee and MoveOn.org. Its postings can be found among Craiglist listings in Chicago, Ill.; San Francisco, Calif.; Boston, Mass.; Philadelphia, Penn. and Austin, Texas...

Haven’t they tried this a few times against Limbaugh too? I guess like they say, “Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.”
LOL

Or if ya have a job take this one as part time. Do em in with words an give the 24k to FR an brag about it.

notice they expect 80-100 hrs/week. talk about fanatics
nuts, nothing in florida
Let’s see....100 hours a week * 52 weeks =5,200 hours. Yearly pay is $24,000.
WOW! That’s only $4.62 per hour. They seem to be violating the current minimum wage laws don’t they??????????????
After all, what the hell, those laws are for law abiding people only.....right?
Well, to be perfectly honest, my husband is out of work and uninsured, so the money and benefits are very tempting. Does anyone know of a Republican version of this against Keith Olberman that offers pay and medical benefits?
bump
Let's kick their @sses.
Sounds like a good job to take just for the fun of filing dozens of dept of labor complaints just to mire them in “process”.
I am retiring out of the service this year. I think I could afford to take such a job. I was going to take a year or two off, but what the heck.
Paid Hessians in the war for America. Sounds like history repeating itself.
It's no coincidence that these ads for professional trolls are now appearing after last weeks drubbing in Massachuestts, Obama's subsequent brain storming with Axelrod last weekend, and the sudden hiring of former campaign manager David Plouffe to try and repair the damage.
Plouffe starts work on Monday and immediately publishes his OpEd piece in the Compost, and boom!, these ads suddenly start appearing too.
It's painfully obvious that Obama and company think they can ratchet up their old camapign tactics to turn back the tide against them, just like King Canute order back the tide in medieval England.
Health care available?? does that include bodily injury
This started under Gore,and went in to overdrive during the Kerry run, with paid-by-Soros trolls posting anti-Bush, pro-Kerry crap all over the internt.
And Bush was still elected.
Is this group receiving funds from the taxpayers?
The Commie b@$+@rd$ don’t have enough money to buy ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For a salary of $24,000 ? That wouldn't pass even the most flimsy of wage-hour protests. Basically, an employer cannot have a salary job (non-exempt)contain so many additional hours. It's against the law. They are very strict, and if the employer loses the case (which they almost always do), the fines are steep.
So all you FReepers who take one of these jobs, keep careful records of the hours you work, and file a wage&hour complaint when you are fired.
Ever notice how these groups of buffoons never get down to specifics as to which lies are being told?
