No one is arguing that point. Nadin was saying that even the right-leaning media has conceded that OWS has raised awareness of the growing income disparity. And I would add, on a international level which hasnt been seen before.
"The notion that no one ever discussed income inequality and tax fairness before the launch of Occupy is utterly ridiculous."
Absolutely, but again no one is arguing that OWS was the first ever.
"To hear the OWSies tell the tale, an entire nation 'learned' about this disparity for the first time last September, having been completely in the dark before then."
No one said "completely in the dark" besides you. I would say that OWS brought a great deal of attention that the media couldnt ignore from around the world.
I dont understand your animosity towards OWS. Care to explain?
