How does this make him a hypocrite? Did he suddenly turn into a corrupt billionaire who purchases legislation with bribes to politicians?

He's a hypocrite because he has made BILLIONS off these art grants which makes him part of the 1%

Does anyone here actually think facts matter to whackadoodles, this article is just linking two perceived negatives from the fascist viewpoint and that is all needs to be done with those morons. Momentum will do the rest with stories like these. It is a classic Rovian tactic. By the time anyone can debunk this, they will have made up 5 more lies and pumped out through their shiat stained mouths.

timujin: One more time for the cheap seats:

OWS != anti-capitalism

Thank you, you may continue.

Furthermore, this guy was apparently "pro-getting a government grant for his art." Which has absolutely zero to do with capitalism one way or another.

/ Try again, dumbasstardsubby.

Scrase told the Herald Sun he was a "social entrepreneur"

Australia has weird names for human parasites.

/I'd have called them chazzwozzers

gerrymander: He's a hypocrite because he's a 1%er -- happy to enrich himself even if it means other, poorer people lose out. He embodies the greed he claims to oppose.

Wha...? Did you do Enron's accounting, by any chance?

I really, really don't get this. I can usually follow the faux right wing outrage machine, but I'm completely baffled by this one.

He's a hypocrite because he accepted public money set aside for art?

Wait, I think I'm starting to see it. OWS is pissed because banks received public funds. This guy received public funds, and was an OWS protestor. Therefore, HE'S A HYPOCRITE!

Ok, never mind. I see it now. It's completely retarded, but I see it.

What's that smell? Oh yes, desperation on the barbie.

I'm assuming you'd agree to anyone in your family, ancestral or friend circle being called a "human parasite" for accepting any government money for anything, like food stamps, military service, or social security?

/ Of course you'd be consistent. Why wouldn't you?

"If we are so terrible and they have to occupy us indefinitely until capitalism falls, well then where are they going to get their grants from?"

Are you suggesting capitalism is government?

gerrymander: coco ebert: How is that hypocritical? If you support OWS you're more likely to support publicly-funded arts programs as it's not a system built on considerations of profit only.

How many times has he been granted public art fund money? How many artists in Melbourne haven't been granted any at all?

It was a joke about the tendency of people who do annoy others and feel smug about it to categorize themselves with euphemisms that put others in mind of "pubic louse" and similar phrases. Not a joke about the fact that he received any specific money. "Social entrepreneur" is about on par with "management consultant" and "teamwork facilitator." But keep farking that chicken...

Well I heard a 1%er threw a quarter in a Salvation Army bucket today so its a wash.

those occupy melbourne peeps are freakin smart

Most people would claim he is the perfect example of an "Occupier". He takes redistributed money from the government which comes from other peoples taxes while generating nothing of value for society.

He did a thingy with paper clips, how is that not of value?

No part of that makes any sense at all. But keep farking that chicken...

I get to comments like Gerrymanders, and I'm just like WTF.

FK U GERRY.

More smear campaigning against OWS by the 'fourth house'. As decrepit a house as the others.
I say DON'T tear them down, BURN them down.

MrEricSir: Your name scared me.

That's what we used to call my naval captain father. I saw your handle and flashed on all the lewd content I've posted over the years.

/thank god it's not you, Dad
//...right?

He's obviously a hypocrite - because $17,000 makes him a billionaire.

How long will people like Carl Scrase control eighty percent of the world's jaw line. Ninety nine percent of us have decreasing jaw lines, while theirs are still increasing. It all goes back to the Hapsbergs and their dominance over Europe jaws through the centuries. It's time for a change toward proportionate jaw lines here and now!

Long-lost triplets! (new window)

What is this article, I don't even...

looks more like the pilot from firefly

The guy is "pro-taking money from productive taxpayers" how is that not what OWS is about?

/where's my free stuff?

moothemagiccow: looks more like the pilot from firefly



Don't really see the resemblance... He looks more like Conan, but with a normal-sized head.

Hobodeluxe: How does this make him a hypocrite?

I think "hypocrite" must mean something different in Australia, much like "OWS figure" apparently does.

Yeah, I really am an artist-and this idiot's ability to score grant money for his projects is nauseating-does this noob even know how to draw a stick figure? Nope, but he sure can write for grants. You all may think that he did'nt get a lot of money, but, then again, what is the total of all of his grants? He's a well connected trust fund baby, gets some cash to splash, gets his rich friends to buy his "art" and writes for more grants.

He's not being a hypocrite. It's exactly what Occupiers want...free money.

Fade2black: He's not being a hypocrite. It's exactly what Occupiers want...free money.

If by "free money" you mean socioeconomic mobility, then yes.

OWS figure who may also be Conan O'Brien's estranged twin, exposed as a fraud after accepting publicly funded art grants

Must run in the family. Conan bilked the network out of millions pretending to be funny.

It pays to be a shiatty artist.

Isn't OWS 15 minutes about up?
