Protesting to make money

There was plenty of spontaneous, legitimate outrage over the situation in Ferguson, Missouri.

But hundreds were there because they were being paid. They came from outside Missouri to earn their paychecks.

Now they’re protesting because not all of them got paid.

Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE), supported financially by billionaire activist George Soros, advertised for outsiders to come to Ferguson and protest.

They were promised $300 for travel and applications had to be submitted two weeks before the show-up date.

Lisa Fithian trained demonstrators to “simulate chaos.”

MORE founder Jeff Ordower got a big payout. He also is an organizer for the SEIU and ACORN.

Millenial Activists United got more than $2,000 from the Soros front organization.

Bringing in hired guns to “protest” (after rehearsals) does a disservice to all the people who were spontaneously outraged by what happened in Ferguson. Citizens who didn’t ask for money to do it.
