Anatomy of a "Movement": "INAFJ (I need a freakin' job)" comes courtesy of Breitbart

[meegbear]

If you were to believe Jeff Baker, you'd think that he was just a disgruntled small business owner who is frustrated with the economy squeezing him to the point where he needed to shut the doors. It's a story we've all heard, one I can even tell with my own specifics.

But Jeff Baker wanted to be sure the President heard him, so he put up a billboard on Interstate 190 that says "I need a freakin job. Period."

But every lost job hurts, said Jeff Baker, a Buffalo native who was forced to close his niche textile company near Albany, Adirondack Blanket Works, during the financial collapse more than a year ago.

"Losing a business is right up there in catastrophe land," said Baker, who had planned the billboard long before learning Obama was coming to town. "It's personally catastrophic and having to let go of people who were like family for over 10 years, you go through all that heartbreak."

He and his brother put up the sign and launched a website (www.inafj.org) with the hope of steering the conversation in Washington back toward the average American worker.

It's a really nice website, too. Not a homegrown. boring kind of site at all. It's got merchandise, videos, even "inafj.tv"!



A website like that doesn't come cheap, even if they hire a designer who uses a stock template and stock photos. It's nicely done.

See, here's what they didn't tell you. Scott Baker works for Breitbart.TV.

Scott Baker has reported and anchored television news for nearly 20 years.

He became interested in broadcasting while working on political campaigns during his school years at Wheaton College (Illinois).

He has worked at the Voice of America in Washington, D.C., CBS News in New York, and at local television stations in Erie, Pennsylvania, and Saginaw, Michigan, and for the last 13 years at WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh.

Viewers have come to know Scott best for both his humor and his skills anchoring and reporting during breaking news events.

According to Jeff Baker, Scott Baker paid for the sign, and likely for the rest of their 'movement', too. Or Breitbart did.

1. Billboards are not exactly in the unemployed persons budget.

So who is paying for the billboard exactly? Scott Baker?

2. That was my gut feeling

I did the requisite google searches on this guy yesterday and he's pretty clean. Probably why Breitbart chose him.

Edit: He's going to be on MSNBC later today, let's see if we get full disclosure. :eyes:

4. I guess I'd call all that a "bowel movement" and knowing they

have connection to the bret I'd say they have a lot of them, because America is slowly moving back to where it was before bush and his thugs ruined it.
