"SNIP..............................................
The Republican Party in Massachusetts has found a way to get black voters to campaign for Sen. Scott Brown pay them $8 an hour.
The state GOPs MassVictory program is funding a group called Obama Supporters for Brown to campaign for Brown in an inner city Boston neighborhood that strongly backs his Democratic challenger, Elizabeth Warren.
And that report comes courtesy of the conservative Boston Herald, not the liberal Boston Globe.
Benjamin Thompson, a black former city elections commissioner, told The Herald he pays about 20 campaign workers a per diem that works out to about $8 an hour.
