I'm not contending that. My statement was in response to Tossica's comment about how "grass roots movements aren't funded by billionnaires blah blah blah". The Tea Party is a grass roots movement, and so is OWS.
you know, it finally occurred to me over the weekend that there is only one possible explanation for the claims you have made in this thread regarding OWS, the TP, and your specific use of the phrase "grass roots" -
somehow you've gone all this time without picking up that a "grass roots" movement, by its very definition, is not funded and organized by outside interests
you cannot logically claim the tea party is (still) grass roots while simultaneously admitting it is bankrolled by the koch brothers - and on the flip side, you cannot call OWS a grass roots movement while simultaneously alleging it is funded by soros. in pure point of fact, neither claim jives with the actual definition of what it means to be "grass roots."
that should clear a lot of things up over the past couple of pages rofl
