Protesters Say Obama 2012 Paid Them to Heckle Romney: Cheating?

Obama's 2012 re-election campaign paid protesters to heckle Republican candidate Mitt Romney, according to several protesters. The 2012 election has enough volume -- and paying hecklers certainly adds to the noise and rhetoric. But does it amount to cheating?

At least Obama can claim credit for employing a few protesters. Should we consider this part of the stimulus package?

Buzzfeed Reports:
At [Mitt Romney]'s afternoon stop outside a bakery in DeWitt, a group of about 15 protesters stood behind a police barricade, a few of them chanting in support of Obama. Asked why he was protesting, a man dressed in a grim reaper costume pointed a reporter to a pair of "designated representatives" standing in the shade.

    If it were true, they wouldn't be saying it, which makes this a great smear campaign by Romney

    exactly why this story makes no sense. nothing in this election has come close to "tough" for either side, especially not tough enough to be paying off the peanut gallery in bmfck wherever this was.

    We have known that obaaaaama hires supporters. If there was no money in it there would be no obaaaama supporters. It's all about money, OTHER PEOPLES MONEY, to the leftwing. Leftwing greed.

    Conservatives wrote the book on greed. Other people money? you mean the money that should have trickled down to the workers all these years, but instead, accumulated in the bank accounts of the already very wealthy in the form of dividends and payoffs compliments of companies like Bain. Get a clue about right wing republicans and their "trickle down economics" they continue to insist on before you accuse the left of being the "greedy" ones in this political system.

    Seriously? I don't buy this for a Minute because if it were true why would they say so? They were paid alright but by who.
  • Paul Krystle 2012/06/20 22:09:39
    Paul
    if they were paid at all, was it $7.25 or $17 per hour. Per hour, are you kidding? was that on someone's books? Too many holes in this story, unverified and not creditable. Maybe they were space aliens, I heard Romney was conspiring with some aliens from a distant planet, maybe that's what this is all about. Or maybe it is Obama and his big ears that aren't real, they're the antennas to contact the aliens.

    Or most likely, this whole story started from the imagination of a couple overzealous supporters or prompted by a bored reporter that wanted a story bad enough to produce some fictioal crap. Now it has turned into a typical story getting spread about by conservatives and Obama haters on the Internet with little or no regard for the truth

    Tough choice, here. Obama has been The Master Illusionist (and Master of Disaster) since he 1st appeared on the political stage... fully costumed with back-story to match. Paying others to be supporters and sycophants in his 1-man show is par for the course

    Romney needs to drop the Mr., nice guy approach and let people know who we`re dealing with and their intentions . The Mr. nice guy plan got us this corruptest administration this country has ever seen in the last election . Read obama`s own words from his own books if he has too, let people hear how he really feels about America and how his associates really feel ,The media has pampered this guy for too long and the words need to be heard, Like NOW

    If the truth is known, Romney's campaign paid people to say they were hecklers paid by Obama... Nothing a true capitalist wouldn't do or support to enhance their standing and line their pocket books.

    The conservative hecklers aren't paid to heckle, nor even encouraged by the Romney campaign. You are being two-faced again.

    There is no proof the liberal protesters are being paid, that's rumour. It would be illegal for him to pay protesters to heckle Romney. Use your brain.

    I hope those checking cheating aren't planning on voting for Romney, because we all know that if Mitt returns the favor Obama's campaign will self-destruct (For Christ sake Obama can't even handle a reporter, much less anything not on his teleprompter).

    How the in holy hell is that cheating? Don't all opposing parties talk their sh!t? Oh ok. It's not like he paid for votes or blackmailed him. People stood on the sidelines saying he sucked like you would at freaking WWE. Shut the hell up with this. Wah wah they hurt my feelings but let's all coddle a man that belongs to a religion with racist beliefs. Go cry somewhere else if you can't handle it and apparently there's a reason the whiners aren't in politics. You're soft. And don't come back with your usual, "I can't be in politics cause I'm not a liar." That's a lie. I hate when people have the nerve to cry about people being sensitive and they go back and get butt-hurt over the tiniest thing. All is far in love and war. And guess what, a long time ago it was made a war.

    No more Mr. Nice Guy. The Democrats are pigs but the Republicans need to get in the mud with them. The Republicans need to hire thugs to beat the crap out of the paid-protesters. The Republicans will need a thug army to counter the union thugs anyway. Obie said the Democrat thugs would have guns. So be it.

    Obamass is a loser. He's desperate and looking for whatever leverage he can find to swing the electorate toward him. Those who are lacking in intellectual ability will believe him and his cronies. They did before. Those who have had a chance to see what a loser he is and gauge his anti-American sentiments may note this time that they would be best served to leave him in the gutter where he belongs. It's time to vote for someone who will bring back America, the country Obama has been trying to kill for 4 years or more.

    It's only good if people see him for the fraud he really is. We can only hope that Hispanics don't get sucked into the filthy pool of the Obama disception. This could have been done when the Democrats had both houses of Congress, not as a political ploy now to suck in Hispanics. After all, he said he didn't have the power to do this in September. He's a liar and a fraud.
