Irony: OWS Now the Equivalent of a Corporation
Pundit Press ^ | 11/26/11 | Aurelius

Posted on 11/26/2011 8:13:47 AM PST by therightliveswithus

There is nothing more ironic than someone or something becoming the very thing that they hate. For Occupy Wall Street, they loathe corporations because they are "rich." Corporations also provide them with cheap laptops, smartphones, and wifi, but OWS cannot be bothered with nuance.

But let's look at an actual definition of a corporation:

Corporation, noun; definition: any group of persons united or regarded as united in one body.

Why, that sounds exactly like Occupy Wall Street! They preach unity and they certainly are a group of people.

But certainly those in OWS would argue that corporations have both money and political power... Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House, has come out in full favor of the protesters, while President Barack Obama has tentatively come out supporting them and has completely supported them in their hatred of the rich.

Certainly OWS doesn't have a tremendous amount of money, right? They couldn't possibly be fundraising in order to have their will done, just like corporations? ...In fact, Occupy Wall Street has collected $600,000 in tax-deductible donations.

And the Tea Party people aren't even supported by the GOP. What is going on...?? The GOP need a shake up...
