Democrats Still Hating Wal-Mart



From a Wall Street Journal article (subscription-only):
Union-backed critics of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. are launching an advertising campaign, enlisting prominent Democrats and attacking the company's wages, benefits and employment practices in moves that could disrupt the retailer's holiday sales.

The largely grass-roots campaign, titled "Hope for the Holidays," is being coordinated by WakeUpWalMart.com, which is funded by the United Food and Commercial Workers union. The campaign will consist of 30-second television spots, print and online ads, and video postings in places such as YouTube, progressive political sites and elsewhere to reach a wider audience, to influence consumers and to mobilize young people.

Oh yes, this is the same bunch who proclaimed that working for Wal-Mart was like something out of Dickens. Chris Kofinis, the insane spokestool who keeps the media filled with such wild tales of bullshit and lies, is never called on the carpet by the lazy-ass media.

Don't forget that whenTom Vilsack was the Mayor of Mount Pleasant and a State Senator from that area he had no problem helping Wal-Mart's distribution center in Mount Pleasant (which employs about 1200 people) get the Avenue Of The Saints road built. Today, Vilsack is in full Hate-Wal-Mart mode because it's politically correct for him to be this way because the company employs a lot of 70-and-80-somethings who still qualify for Medicare while working 8 hours a week as a door greater.

How about Joe Biden, the hairplug-riddled Senator from Delaware who proclaims "How can you live a middle class life on $10 an hour?" Well, Senator Hairplug, two married adults making that wage is basically the median family income across the USA, and you can live a lot better in Iowa on that than anywhere in Delaware.

I don't understand why Democrats HATE HATE HATE Iowa's largest private employer and a significant driver of the nation's economy. They really sound deranged and stupid by constantly doing this.
