Dem operatives advertising on Craigslist for town hall disruptors? (Have you heard this one?)
Have you folks heard this one? I posted a recent story about one of the town hall shouters being a Repub staffer, and somebody responded "so what? not like he took a job off of craigs list paid for by dem operatives to disrupt and shout down folks at same town hall metetings". I've heard the nonsense about the whole thing being put together by Dems to make the right look bad, but I never heard the Craigslist part before.

1. Show Me
Where Dems are using Craig's List

Show me where anyone on the web, anywhere, makes that accusation and has some evidence to back it up.

2. ah, more RW projection? A DUer posted seeing ads from GOP group for actors to attend town halls
Not sure that was valid either, but perhaps other job hunting DUers might report in if they have seen such ads.

A talking point (we shall see if others parrot it) that the DEMs have run ads for disruptors would tend to lend credence to the DUer who reported seeing a GOP ad for actors to play protesters at town hall meetings. The neocon jobs have often used projection to confuse their followers when there is a chance they themselves might have their machinations exposed. Nothing like helping the kool aid drinkers to be able to say, 'yeah, I heard about that, but it was the DEMs who did it' just in case MSM actually calls the GOP on some crap they pulled. Then, if MSM does expose something, the 21%ers will believe the lies and insist the media is liberal and lying about the GOP.

The GOP uses projection to deflect righteous criticism. They use it to aid and abet their own bad behavior in the public arena.

3. Addendum, re: the guy who posted this to my Facebook page...
He's a fan of Mark Levin. Take that for what it's worth. :)

7. I've heard it.
The link I've seen them post to "prove" it is from NYC (if memory serves) and is seeking Dems (progressives, etc - not sure which word they used) for what sounds exactly like canvassing. Not a word about town meetings. Not that freepers (or those of a like mind) let the facts get in the way of their beliefs. :eyes:
