I don't think that the above is copyrighted. If it is I apologize.

The OWS crowd who is protesting against the banks have put together $500,000 to further their efforts. I have no problem with that. Where they get EXTREMELY hypocritical is that they put the money in the bank! I thought that they are protesting against the banks!

Unbelievable.
Maybe it would be easier for me to see the hypocrisy if you used bold, italic, upper case letters like this: "EXTREMELY." At the moment, I'm just not seeing it.

An article posted from Glenn Beck's "Blaze" website is about as believable as unicorns ridden by Fairy Queens. Given Beck's history of pushing falsehoods and whacked out conspiracy theories, only an idiot would believe a thing in that article without cross checking it with some reputable news site. A "Blaze" article based on another web article posted on wiretapper Rupert Murdoch's "New York Post", a scandal rag. But why bother with the truth, when propaganda will suffice?

Do you even read this stuff? I mean, do you even read your own propaganda? This is what it said:

Quote:
“Close to $300,000 in cash also has been donated, through the movement’s website and by people who give money in person at the park, said Bill Dobbs, a press liaison for the movement. The movement has an account at Amalgamated Bank, which bills itself as ‘the only 100 percent union-owned bank in the United States.’”
How exactly is that "hypocritical"? The banks they are protesting against are the investment banks that ripped this economy off for trillions, then got bailed out by the taxpayer, who is now left in a ruined economy and what do the investment banks do in return? Why, they supply nothing in the way of lower mortgage rates while they get 0% loans FROM US, THE TAXPAYER, nothing in the way of spending to increase jobs, and then raise banking fees, fees for essentially us giving them our money. Then again, I do realize that trying to educate you is impossible.

If you can't see the duality in protesting against banks at the same time that you are putting your money in the bank, then I have no help to offer you.

Hmmmmm! So you dispute facts based on the messenger that delivers them? Go do your own googling and see how many other sources report the same thing. Beyond that, the article was originally in the New York Post.

Disprove it!

Disprove what? That the OWS people keep their money in a bank? Who cares?

Well since you can't see this, you have proved that you are so deep into your own world that you are unable to either face or understand facts.

A union owned bank and credit unions hold the deposits . . . not quite BofA, Chase, or Goldman. On a "purity" scale, is this equivalent of bemoaning the loss of American industry while typing on their foreign made computers on a foreign car forum?

I don't know about you, but I'm banging the keys on a Dell.

Now, there's a persuasive argument.

BTW, I was not aware that OWS is against all banks and against people who keep their money in banks. Maybe you could steer me to a source that would support that claim.

Since the OWS people have been so inept at stating their case, this is no surprise!

Dell manufacturers their products, both components and finished units, globally.

From the Wiki

Assembly of desktop computers for the North American market formerly took place at Dell plants in Austin, Texas (original location) and Lebanon, Tennessee (opened in 1999). The plant in Winston-Salem, North Carolina (opened in 2005) is scheduled to cease operations in November 2010, while the Miami, Florida facility of its Alienware subsidiary remains in operation. Dell servers come from Austin, Texas.

Dell's desktop plant in Austin, Texas was shut down in 2008. It closed its desktop manufacturing in Lebanon in early 2009. The last major U.S. plant in North Carolina is scheduled to close in November 2010.[46] It is expected that most of the work carried out in North Carolina will be transferred to contract manufacturers in Asia and Mexico, though Dell said some of the work will move to its own factories overseas.[47]

Well as of last night in Oakland, many of the OWS protestors FINALLY got what they really want, violent protest. Congratulations!
