Goldman Sachs pulls out of fundraiser after learning OWS will be honored

Dumb, but typical, PR move.
Big companies have a compulsive need to confirm their worst stereotypes and give field to their harshest critics.

ThinkProgress:
Earlier this month, the Lower East Side People’s Federal Credit Union in New York City held a fundraiser to celebrate its 25th anniversary. It just so happened that this the credit union many of the protesters at Occupy Wall Street (OWS) were using to store funds — and the protest group became an honoree at the dinner. When Goldman Sachs found out that OWS would be at the dinner, it pulled out of the event, along with its $5,000 donation.
Petty pity party of one your table is ready.
