The leftist organizations are placing ads in Craig’s List for ‘paid activists to fight Wall Street’.
Text:
The Working Families Party (WFP) (www.workingfamiliesparty.org) is New York’s most energetic, independent and progressive political party. Formed in 1998 by a grassroots coalition of community organizations, neighborhood activists, and labor unions, we came together to build a society that works for all of us, not just Wall Street CEOs and the well-connected. WFP is independent from corporate and government funding and in-addition we are community based; community funded and equally uninfluenced by both major parties. Our agenda focuses on economic and social justice, corporate accountability, job creation, environmental protection, and investment in education and healthcare.
For the past twelve years the WFP has been at the fore front of progressive politics,
Leading the fight and helping to frame the debate. The WFP has a proud record of fighting for issues that matter and has been instrumental in implementing key pieces of legislation such as Raising New York’s Minimum Wage, Enacting Living Wage Laws, Creating Thousands of Jobs In the Green Economy, Passing Healthcare Reforms on the Local Level, Fighting for Affordable Housing, Keeping Tuition Costs Low, A Progressive Tax Code, Reliable/Cost Effective Public Transit System, Public Financing Of Elections and Corporate Accountability . In addition, we have an unapologetic stance on supporting and pushing good candidates to enact progressive legislation
The WFP is seeking immediate hires.
You must be an energetic communicator, with a passion for social and economic justice.
Only outgoing, articulate dedicated, determined candidates will be considered for the positions.
For those candidates that qualify WFP offers substantial paid-training provided by senior leadership, on varied issues such as: advocacy, public speaking, mobilizing, fundraising, networking and organizing. We invest in passionate people with excellent communication skills and a full benefits package is offered to those candidates that qualify. In addition, there is opportunity for advancement and travel to our satellite chapters and out of state affiliates.
This is not a policy job! Through direct action you will be shaping NY state politics for the next 20 years.
If you care about New York and want to help educate and mobilize around legislative campaigns-then we look forward to hearing from you!

**Lee Ann has a translation of the above that's spot on and hilarious!**
The Working Families Party is part of the Hexagon of Progress:
Commies. What did the ‘rich’ ever do to them besides supplying jobs for them and their families?
So… let me get this straight…
The Tea Party, comprised primarily of concerned Americans who sought out other like minded individuals and assemble together to attend events where they break nothing, speak of their love for God and country and clean up after themselves are seen as evil in the eyes of the administration and media…
And the OCCUPY [insert city here] idiots who want to EAT the RICH, defecate on whatever will stand still long enough, make horrible messes that will take millions to clean up, shut down businesses and museums… are good?? Are praised by the administration?
Sorry, but I’d prescribe rubber bullets and tear gas for the lot. Peaceful assembly is one thing, this is anarchy.
And believe that president fuckstick loves it. He probably hopes ordinary citizens get tired of it and draw down on one of them… then he can install martial law. After that it’s not a stretch to delaying the elections… you know, til things settle down…
All of the above info – except my opinion, of course – from Gateway Pundit.

From Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs:
Leftwing Billionaire Machine Targets Homes of Republican Billionaires
Subject: Oct 11th – March to the homes of prominent billionaires
March to tax millionaires – invest in education and jobs
• 59th St. and 5th Ave
• Tuesday, October 11, 2011
• press conference 12 noon
• March begins 1PM
My union, the PSC CUNY, is joining a large coalition of community groups and labor unions in a march to the homes of prominent New York billionaires this coming Tuesday, October 11. The tour kicks off a week of action aimed at maintaining the Millionaires’ Tax.
The Strong Economy for All coalition will hold a press conference with Millionaires for the Millionaires’ Tax at 12pm where the march begins at 59th St. and 5th Ave. We’re hoping for a big turnout for the press conference. From there we’ll march to the homes of Rupert Murdoch, David Koch, Paul Milstein, John Paulson and Chase CEO Jamie Dimon This is our chance to expose the actors who work to produce and maintain inequality in New York and the nation and to demand real economic change for ourselves and our students.
They bring it to private homes, it will get ugly.
Ben & Jerry’s joins with the commies who want something for nothing:

Well thank Gott the makers of Chunky Hubby and Phish Food are backing these people…where would they be without that?!
I think I have my second post.
10. October 2011 at 4:07 pm
GOOD!
10. October 2011 at 4:26 pm
Done.
10. October 2011 at 5:27 pm
Uh, Ben and Jerry’s makes BILLIONS of their ice cream. How much have they given to the “poor and oppressed?” Why aren’t they out marching?
Erinyes and I want to start our own movement called, “Occupy Mallory Square.” We will hold signs about evil corporate until enough idiots join in. Then we’ll leave.

Saw a sign here today reading:
The Revolution’s On – Bring It!
It occurs to me that these dipshits are all anti-gun so how are they going to fight a revolution?
10. October 2011 at 5:52 pm
Good idea Folly… just take pictures!
“It occurs to me that these dipshits are all anti-gun so how are they going to fight a revolution?”
Great point! Mike said that they’re anti-gun, but not anti-violence.
Or anti-gun, but only for other people..

I think I invented a new Ben and Jerry’s flavor:
Vomit In My Mouth A Little Vannilla…

10. October 2011 at 6:05 pm
Or “Cop Car Defecation Swirl”
10. October 2011 at 6:07 pm
Even better; it would have nuts in, of course!
10. October 2011 at 6:39 pm
and corn.
10. October 2011 at 6:40 pm
Of course.

I was going to have a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream for my birthday – but after reading this I’ll just go to Dairy Queen instead.
10. October 2011 at 9:21 pm
Mmm… sounds good!
11. October 2011 at 1:09 pm
Mmmm blizzard!
11. October 2011 at 1:21 pm
…and every fried thing they carry… oh, baby!

I hope some of those clowns try to occupy the homes of folks in states with a castle doctrine law.
As a matter of fact, they can come here, I’m no billionaire but every payday we are thousandaires, at least until Linda Lou pays the bills. After that and groceries we are, shat? Nickel and dimeaires. I do have a few hundred rifle and pistol rounds, though and around fifty rounds of buchshot and slug ammo, though. Ah, it does no good to dream, damned few of these assholes can so much as find their way to the nearest town, muuch less out here.
Anyhow, I thought Ben and Jerry’s sold out to Unilever or some other humongus corporation. Let me go to another window, brb… Yup, Unilever. So, let me get this straight in my head. They sold out to the eeeeevilll rich. Then the support the fight agains um, themselves. Quick, let’s occupy Ben and Jerry’s! Bring spoons!
Fucking idiots. I mean meatheads. Dead from the neck up!

Now THAT is hilarious!!! I’ve got a big spoon!

Take your spoons to Blue Bell – Ben & Jerry,s is not welcome in my body for the final time – these wonderful, highly educated challenged have just about as much idea as to what they are doing as their leader, If I am not mistaken this comes under inciting a riot as taught when I went to school, what has changed? – the President of the United States is using these people to start a civil war so he can stay in control as long as he wants, looking at everything about him since he came out of the closet as a math problem appears to have no other solution no matter how you work it out – We put these people in office, it is time we use the law and our powers to remove them while we still can – all it takes are petitions for recall at a higher level

MMMMMM… Blue Bell…
