Republican frames regarding the economic inequality highlighted by the OWS movement...

First it was the "the politics of envy" -- all you OWS people and the like are just envious of people with money because they've been "successful"....



Now it's "you (OWS types) and Barack Obama are trying to "divide the country" and we (Republicans) are trying
to "unite" the country..

Basically what they are trying to say is that you all are "unAmerican"
