Who is paying for the racist signs that the Baggers hold up at rallies. Do the people
get them for free? Who designs them? What printing Company would be a part of this garbage?

1. There are right wing small business owners
and some of them own print shops...in addition, in this economy can you see a printer turning down anything?

2. A lot of the racism in those signs is implied and inferred.

7. Yes. They spent huge money on them. FOLLOW THE MONEY. We need to know.
And also if these people get them for free. My husband's guess is Dick Smarmy. But I think it would be great to know then we can start a boycott.

5. Scion of the John Birch Society movers and shakers

Koch money is in the forefront, but dimes to donuts says quiet money is coming from others: Koch, Scaife, Bradley, Olin and other reliable funders of right wing. The list isn't long, but it does have extremely deep pockets. The millions they have thrown in is just chump change to them.

6. Americans For Prosperity/Winger David Koch paid to bus
people in and provided signs, though I don't know which signs.

snip//

ThinkProgress found at least a dozen AFP staffers standing at their designated bus drop off point near the Capitol, handing out signs, directions, talking points, petitions, and donuts to protesters. Many of the people who work at AFP are longtime Republican operatives

AFP STAFFERS: We have 25 buses just from Pennsylvania, New Jersey we probably have 5 or 6 from Maryland.

AFP STAFFERS: We have about 40 buses coming.

8. The guy from the Young Turks
interviewed people from Americans for Prosperity or something like that which is funded by that right wing rich billionaire Koch. They said the provided the buses, the food and the signs. So this so called "grassroots" movement is being funded by the most outrageous right wing bunch going.
