Democrats Pay Union Members to Protest World War II Vets
PowerLine ^ | October 2, 2013 | John Hinderaker

It appears that the Obama administration is violating the First Rule of Holes. Yesterday the administration looked awful when it “closed” and barricaded the World War II memorial on the Mall. The memorial is, by its nature, open. There is nothing to close.

--SNIP--

...these protesters were marching towards the press gaggle and I was asking them to show their federal IDs to prove they were in fact federal workers. No one wore their federal ID and none would provide it to prove their claim.

Then, remarkably, a guy carrying a sign passed by wearing a McDonald’s employee shirt, which I noted. I then began asking them how much they had been paid to protest, at which point the guy wearing the McDonald’s shirt came back and admitted he had been paid $15 to attend the protest.

I would assume this won’t get any play in the msm because they’d be afraid someone would out the protesters.

I would love to see some of these paid protesters receive a well deserved beat down. Am I wrong to think this?

I’m a little confused. Are we talking about the FEDERAL government or the FERAL government?
I think this Korean Vet (USN) may be getting a little old.

I’m afraid I don’t really see the humor; when some young *sshole who’s enjoyed all his life long the freedoms paid for in blood and horror by our World War II veterans, accepts fifteen bucks to go out of his way to insult them, the world as we’ve known it is coming to an end.

Just my opinion, of course.

They can do anything they want and people will still vote for them.

$15. The price of a quarter pounder with cheese, if wages are raised to employee demands.

Somebody needs to make a poster with a photo of the barricades at the WWII Memorial next to a photo of the obstacles on Normandy Beach. Then, put a photo of these phony Obama Nazis next to a photo of some WWII Nazis. That would sting.

The takers are out in force, the makers are all at work.

How repulsive to see the takers confronting the true givers of this great country, those who risked all and actually gave so much.

The difference between us the them couldn’t be more stark.

They are takers who all totally out only for themselves.
