Recently, I got to thinking about Occupy Wall Street and, after a little digging,
"Digging"?
I found out just how many members of the wealthiest 1% are bankrolling and/or supporting it. I mean, when one of your biggest supporters is Yoko Ono (net worth $500 million), it's hard to reconcile that with the image of OWS being "average Americans fed up with Wall Street" they're trying to portray.
Instead, I feel OWS is the very definition of what former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said was "Astroturf." Thus, the group isn't occupying Wall Street; they're Astroturfing Wall Street.
Nice try! Too bad supporting something doesn't mean "pumping money into it." What exactly are they "bankrolling", Lindaman?
Anyways, they're not astroturfed.
So, in that vein, I will be using AWS instead of OWS going forward. And let me tell you, they've earned that name.
Because Lindaman says so! Because he's butthurt and bitter. lol I love it!
We'll see how many people care about your little stolen lying "rebranding." I'm giving your readers a few weeks to show their support of it before I post again. Maybe this will take on the internets by storm, just like OWS did! Let's hope it doesn't crash and burn like your "faux liberal" and "crap and spayed" soundbites did.
UPDATE:
Well, weeks have passed. Now, weeks after his post:
"Yoko Ono likes OWS, therefore corporate influence on government is a-okay!"
Hey, Lindaman: They're still protesting.
