Some Anti-Kavanaugh Protesters Were Paid

[Lightbringer]

Paid protesters. I don't think anyone is shocked to hear that activism is a business.

The article from the Washington Times is correct that some of the anti-Kavanaugh protesters were paid to be there; it was their job to organize and “help steer [protesters] in the right way” as Thomas noted on This Week.

One of the people who pleaded with Senator Jeff Flake in the now viral-video was Ana María Archila, the co-executive Director of the Center for Popular Democracy, an organization focused in part on arranging protests. (The CPD used the video footage to ask for donations “to support this vital work in this important moment.”)

My question is: should anyone paid to organize or oversee a protest have to identify themselves, publicly and frequently? I say Yes, they should have to.

A protest can be powerful because it's assumed to be an expression on an important issue by the people but if a fringe group is driving it and directing it in such a way that it appears to be more than it is then they should have to identify themselves. What I mean by that is if a group like ultraviolet is manufacturing a scene then they should have to let people know they are behind it; by that I mean signage all over the actual protest site and a banner identifying them as being responsible for the protest and its presentation on any social media clips, or MSM clips for that matter because not doing so is in my opinion being extremely dishonest about the nature of the protest. Occupy never hid the fact that they were behind their protests.

Most right-wing postings seem to be no more than unbacked gossip about unknown individuals.
