"I Need A Freakin Job" astroturfing for Breitbart and Corporate America, cause that's where the $ is

Hat tip to crooksandliars.com

Someone email rachel@msnbc.com, stat.

If you have seen or heard of the "I Need A Freaking Job" billboard in Buffalo, NY that small business man Jeff Baker and his brother put up or the "movement" website they have started, you might have taken it for a grassroots movement.

And if job creation grows at the rate it is at through the end of the year, More Jobs Might Be Created This Year Than During George W. Bush's Entire Presidency

So, the "I Need A Freaking Job" thing might seem genuine, even, dare I say, grassroots.

Except it isn't, and Jeff Baker's brother, Scott Baker, works for Andrew Breitbart of Brietbart.tv..

Houston, we have Corporate astroturf FAIL.

More below the fold

2. thats a surprise to me, it did seem pretty organized with $$ behind it.
All the t-shirts, billboard, media exposure, I should have seen through it but the job sitution is an issue I know all too well.

Thanks for posting this!!

4. At this point anything that highlights the need for jobs is okay with me, unless or until
it is proven that they are scamming folk and not really trying to bring attention to the need for jobs. We do need jobs, NOW.

5. It has already BEEN proven.
They are just trying to undermine Obama and Dems.

We do need jobs (I am one of them), and more needs to be done to create them, but that's not what this billboard is about. It's about trying to make Republicans win elections.
