I'm sure there are but if it's the same Paul Horner which I believe it is then this is all probably him messing with the media again for some reason. There are many elements in this story that seem very unlikely.

We've had socialist policies and programs here in the US for many years that do just fine and have been a clear benefit to everyone. Not everything is better off being controlled by Capitalism and For Profit.
But I'm not going to bother having this conversation with anyone who's states from the start that they're "Not interested in all the socialist retardation." So what's the point.

Oh, and btw, is Paul Horner the only source that state protestors are being paid?...

I'm not claiming anyone is a Socialist. I'm saying we have programs and policies operating in the U.S. which follow Socialist ideas and principles and many of them are doing just fine.

Contents of the Fascist Manifesto
The manifesto (published in "Il Popolo d'Italia" on June 6, 1919) is divided into four sections, describing Fascist objectives in political, social, military and financial fields.[2]
Politically, the manifesto calls for:
Universal suffrage with a lowered voting age to 18 years, and voting and electoral office eligibility for all age 25 and more, including women;
Proportional representation on a regional basis;
Voting for women (which was opposed by most other European nations);
Representation at government level of newly created national councils by economic sector;
The abolition of the Italian Senate (at the time, the senate, as the upper house of parliament, was by process elected by the wealthier citizens, but were in reality direct appointments by the king. It has been described as a sort of extended council of the crown);
The formation of a national council of experts for labor, for industry, for transportation, for the public health, for communications, etc. Selections to be made of professionals or of tradesmen with legislative powers, and elected directly to a general commission with ministerial powers (this concept was rooted in corporatist ideology and derived in part from Catholic social doctrine).
In labour and social policy, the manifesto calls for:
The quick enactment of a law of the state that sanctions an eight-hour workday for all workers;
A minimum wage;
The participation of workers' representatives in the functions of industry commissions;
To show the same confidence in the labor unions (that prove to be technically and morally worthy) as is given to industry executives or public servants;
Reorganisation of the railways and the transport sector;
Revision of the draft law on invalidity insurance;
Reduction of the retirement age from 65 to 55.
In military affairs, the manifesto advocates:
Creation of a short-service national militia with specifically defensive responsibilities;
Armaments factories are to be nationalised;
A peaceful but competitive foreign policy.
In finance, the manifesto advocates:
A strong progressive tax on capital (]envisaging a “partial expropriation” of concentrated wealth);
The seizure of all the possessions of the religious congregations and the abolition of all the bishoprics, which constitute an enormous liability on the Nation and on the privileges of the poor;
Revision of all contracts for military provisions;
The revision of all military contracts and the seizure of 85 percent of the profits therein.
The manifesto thus combined elements of contemporary democratic and progressive thought (franchise reform, labour reform, limited nationalisation, taxes on wealth and war profits) with corporatist emphasis on class collaboration (the idea of social classes existing side by side and collaborating for the sake of national interests; the opposite of the Marxist notion of class struggle).

Well, first of all are you claiming that China, the U.S.S.R., Vietnam, Cuba, Venezuela, etc, etc do/did not have socialist policies because they did not protect the environment?...
You are confusing what socialism is, and what it isn't...
Are all those programs you mentioned being "socialized" and become more and more corrupt? Yes... Were they originally socialist?... No...
What you are claiming is that the United States was socialist in the 17th century... That the Roman Empire was socialist, that Ronald Reagan was a socialist, and that all democrats are socialists...
Humm, and here i thought that democrats were always fighting to claim they are not socialists... But not only are you claiming they are, you are lumping in Ronald Reagan, the United States since the 17th century, and the Roman empire as being socialists...

You've done nothing but insert a totally different conversation then what I am talking about by acting like you're just trying to understand what I'm writing. It's a neat trick but completely dishonest I'm not gonna bite.

First of all, Snopes propaganda is clearly obvious. The ads speak for themselves. Yet you need someone else to tell you differently?
Second, Alex Jones isn't the only one who has posted this. I also posted evidence from the MSN itself that propagandists are being paid to protest against Trump.
Donald Trump Protester Speaks Out: “I Was Paid $3,500 To Protest Trump’s Rally”
By abcnews -
June 8, 2016
PHOENIX A.Z. (AP) — For months now, rumors have circulated the Internet that individuals were being paid to protest at rallies held by presidential hopeful Donald Trump. Today a man from Trump’s rally in Fountain Hills, Arizona back in March has come forward to say that he was paid to protest the event.
“I was given $3,500 to protest Donald Trump’s rally in Fountain Hills,” said 37-year-old Paul Horner. “I answered a Craigslist ad about a group needing actors for a political event. I interviewed with them and got the part.”

Here is a photo of that other ad.
The person who was organizing that other protest posted her name.
BTW, apparently to you "the use of reason" is twisting completely what ads that have been advertising paid propagandists actually mean?... facepalm indeed.
