(AP) - Former United Nations ambassador and Atlanta mayor Andrew Young will be the public spokesman for a group organized with backing from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. that defends the world's largest retailer against mounting attacks from its critics. Working Families for Wal-Mart, a group of community leaders from across the country, was set to announce Monday that Young will be the chairman of its 16 member steering committee formed in December to counter charges from two union-backed groups that are pressuring Wal-Mart to improve wages and benefits.

"But you see, those are the people who have been overcharging us selling us stale bread and bad meat and wilted vegetables. And they sold out and moved to Florida. I think they've ripped off our communities enough. First it was Jews, then it was Koreans and now it's Arabs; very few black people own these stores."

How refreshing to see that Andrew Young feels no need to hide his bigotry from public display. Wonder whether he also believes in and preaches the "blood libel" accusations...

LOL."First the Jews,then the Koreans,now it's the Arabs..."If a white man said something like that,he'd be called a racist.

Late night Wal-Mart ping.

Goodbye Andy. Please leave your welcome bag at the door. You won't be missed.

No doubt the DNC will continue to pay him whatever amount he loses by doing this.

Guess I should go off to Wal-Mart to buy something...anything.

"Former Atlanta mayor, U.N. ambassador, dope smoking, drug dealing Andrew Young, who along with EX-President Jimmy Carter was responsible for the fall of Rhodesian and its conversion by Marxist terrorist Robert Muggabe into a pit of disgusting backwardness and murder, has left his appointment to the shake-down extortion group known as Working Families for Wal-Mart."


Jesse Jackson & the Rev Al Sharpton are deeply saddened.

Welcome to Walmart...

Who says the Democrats are weak on security?

They have declared war on Wal-Mart.

Whose bright idea was this? Should somebody tell them there are MORE Wal-Mart shoppers than voters in the US?

WalMart ping.........it's turning into quite a week!!!!

Oh well, it's off to WalMart for me in a little while.

Ha Ha....

He should return all the money from this venture as well. He has very dirty hands......

Young should be ashamed of himself. American jews played significant roles in the civil rights movement.

I'm sure Wal-Mart will be able to struggle along without Andy Young. Meanwhile you can be sure that the leftist establishment will find another lucrative affirmative action job for Ambassador Young.

From the NYT version:

In the interview, published yesterday in The Los Angeles Sentinel . . . . Mr. Young . . . apologized for the comments and retracted them in an interview last night. Less than an hour later, he resigned as chairman of Working Families for Wal-Mart, a group created and financed by the company to trumpet its accomplishments.

Wal-Mart management once again demonstrates its efficiency. Senior employee's major f-up comes to light in the morning, and he is canned before sundown. Not surprising, from the private company that put all local, state, and federal agencies to shame in the aftermath of Katrina.

Andrew Young adds his name to the list of stupid a$$ed racist bigots.

[MinuteGal]

He was probably getting death threats warning him to get off the Wal-Mart board.

Or......he was warned if he stayed with Wal-Mart he wouldn't get the usual lucrative speaking engagements any more and he would be shunned or blacklisted by black/labor special interests groups.

Most directors are hired for their names and for a special purpose. No way do most of these big names resign from highly-paid, no-work, cushy jobs inherent in being a director of a large corporation.

They either get the axe for some reason or other.....or they resign to hang onto the possibility of future highly-paid, no-work, cushy jobs.
