A GOP source sends along this video, shot by a Republican tracker, of a union member supporting Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren outside of a debate Wednesday night in Springfield, Massachusetts. The cameraman asks the union member if he was at an earlier debate between Warren and her Republican opponent, Senator Scott Brown.

"Uh-huh," the union member says, nodding.

"Did you guys get fined if you weren't there?" the cameraman asks.

"Yeah," the union member replies.

"How much did you get fined?" the cameraman asks.

"A hundred and fifty," the man says, although he later adds, "It's two-fifty if you don't go." Watch the video below:


This isn't the first instance in a Massachusetts Senate race where unions have been accused of generating fake grassroots support for the Democrat.

In 2010, before Brown's victory in the special election, a union member wearing a shirt supporting the Democratic candidate, Martha Coakley, told a local blogger on camera that he had been paid $50 to wear the shirt but that he was actually voting for Brown.

Works for me. Copy and paste the link in a new window(tab), after it opens scroll down a little and the video will appear after the sentence "A hundred and fifty," the man says,.

Apparently the Weekly Standard is accessible to Payola from the unions, as it seems one cannot access the video any longer?

Seems the embarrassment was too much to endure, and pushing cash under the table or pointing a gun at somebody's head at the Weekly Standard,,, brought the end result the unions wanted

Al,,,I can get to the W/Standard website,,,,but the video will not play? Maybe its this old Commodore 64 computer, which might not be compatible with their site

Since I can't view it,,,,impossible to verify its content, even when trying to reach the video from other sites which have it linked.....strange?
