From Obamacare to Occupy Wall Street: A brief history of the Left and rent-a-non-English-speaking-protester

Old habits die hard.
Let’s review the Left’s standard practice of renting non-English-speaking protesters to represent the “grass-roots.”

In August 2009, Nancy Pelosi snuck into a Denver health care clinic, where she was greeted by 200 grass-roots protesters against socialized medicine — and a handful of Obama-bots and union members carrying identical HCAN signs. Denver photojournalist El Marco was at the event and exposed how Pelo-cchio’s Astroturf brigade had to be coached by professional organizers — including several day laborers who didn’t speak English and couldn’t tell what the signs they were holding read.

Astroturf on literal parade: Occupy DC agitator admits to paying protesters.

In September 2010, Sen. Barbara Boxer borrowed a page from Pelosi and recruited day labor stooges to hold up anti-Carly Fiorina signs. Asked if they made the signs, one of the men confessed: “No, there’s a lady that pay.”
And this week, Michelle Fields at the Daily Caller caught an Occupy Wall Street organizer in D.C. admitting that he paid Hispanic men to march.
Gotta the love the smell of Astroturf in the morning…
