Who is paying them, I wondered?"

If you were caught paying demonstrators, you would distance yourself from them too.

Its going to be some combination of Soros/ACORN/stimulus money. Its all the same crowd. The various org names are just how they fuzz up the org chart and fuzz the origins of the money. Makes it sound like there are hundreds of independent organizations out there when they all answer to the same puppeteers and get their money from the same trough.
