People aren't upset with corporate personhood in citizens united. They're upset that it allows endless amounts of money to be pumped into politics, further separating the lower classes from the positions of power.
In any case, the supreme court ruled it. So if they have personhood, they have a right to restrict speech on their own property. Unless, you think, I should be able to go to your property and put up my political sign at will.
