Consumer Vents at Target for Right-Wing Donation
YouTube ^ | July 27, 2010 | UpTakeVideo

Posted on 07/29/2010 11:06:52 AM PDT by Arec Barrwin

"Last week Target Corporation gave $150,000 to Minnesota Forward, which i using the money to run TV ads for Republican Tom Emmer's campaign for Minnesota governor. Emmer has connections to anti-gay groups. This donation, clearly acceptable under the new Citizens United Supreme Court ruling angered many in the state, seeing this as a $150,000 contribution to fund ant-gay politics. One Eden Prairie mom and grandmother took her anger directly to a Target. Her repeated attempts to get to Target executives failed so she took her Target Charge Card. A $226 purchase on that card was immediately returned for credit and she scissored her Target card into little pieces to be used no more..."

Good for her!

Just like we on the Right, those on the Left are perfectly justified and reasonable to expect that they will not fund or otherwise support things of which they do not agree.

It is, however, all about the numbers and one former customer does not a movement make.

Sweet. Target will be a much nicer place to shop in the near future.

How about her tax dollars that support PBS?

In my area, there are 3 PBS channels, & one of them is entirely in SPANISH.

This makes me nuts.

Why should MY tax money support a channel aimed at prople who refuse to learn English & many of whom are here illegally?????

I would bet she didn’t scream much when the Salvation Army was left out of Target donations at Christmas due to pressure from leftist special interest groups...

Hypocrite of the highest degree.

I hate the fact that my cable provider gives me 4 spanish channels. They provide spanish subtitles to those who can’t speak english for all the other channels too. Why don’t the spanish channels have to provide subtitles to translate their shows for non spanish speaking viewers?

I would rather they just got rid of the crap and replace them with good programming but on TV today there isn’t much that isn’t garbage.

It would only be hypocrisy if she supported the Salvation Army and did nothing.

Somehow, I get the feeling that she does not object to tax dollars going to other loony leftist causes...
