Anyone listening to Hartmann?

[wryter2000]

Seems he had a Repug poster on his board who confessed he was being paid 10 cents a post on certain liberal message boards. I think he's going to add that the guy is behind the caller who told him the other day that his sister got bad dental care under the English system.

1. I bet DU has some posters raking it in!

:rofl:

2. 10 cents a post!

I wonder how he got a job like this; not that it's really surprising. I'm sure phone workers get some kind of compensation to call into talk shows.

3. Hooray for Hartman. I said this for years and have been called

out about it. So, all I have to those that called me out:

:P

4. 10 cents a post?

You'd have to do 1 a minute to make 6 bucks an hour!

[wryter2000]

7. My guess is it was just a supplement to his regular job

I wish I made 10 cents a post for everything I do on-line. :evilgrin:

9. Would you WANT someone doing this for you if that's what they thought their time was worth?

And think about the billing. He'd probably have to ITEMIZE the individual posts!?

I couldn't justify that low of a price (to myself) if I OUTSOURCED the work!

11. OMG that just created a funny picture in my head

I'm picturing outsourced internet trolling. A large room full of computers somewhere, maybe India, with workers furiously typing freeperisms. At each workstation is a laminated "cheat sheet" with phrases like "this is hugh!!1!" or "I'm series!!1!" or "I'm a lifelong Democrat but..."

:rofl:

13. LMAO

They'd probably have to train the Indian workers in Freepish.

14. Well repukes do favor

eliminating the minimum wage. :rofl:

[napi21]

5. Yes I'm listening. I heard that nut yesterday too.

I think there are also paid callers to the WJ every morning. That's one reason you hear all the hosts disconnect some callers and say "Please caller, respect the one call every 30 days rule."

6. A job is a job, I guess

How would something like that be monitored. Would the guy be taken at his word if he said I posted 10,000 times on DU! Send me my money. :shrug:

[Sancho]

8. I'd believe it...

[FormerDittoHead]

10. Do you know what his handle was? I'm thinking it was "Sawdust".

Guy posted like 30 posts a day, some were pretty well thought out, btw.

The think that always got me was that he talked about how much money he was worth, had a company, employees, etc., but seemed to have all this time on his hands to post all those messages...

12. bet the people paying the 10 cents

feel they're being fleeced ... how many times can you post "Obamas a soclist!" before you're shut down?
