"Blanket allegations about unions stirring up trouble for WM miss the point: Local folks are angry today and fighting back."


Quit trying to BS these people, you are an activist that is trying to contribute to the national publicity campaign your side is on right now.




"WakeUpWalMart.com is a project of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.

Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) participated in an event in front of the Linn County Court House in Cedar Rapids; on August 16 Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) participated in a press conference at the Iowa State Historical building in Des Moines; and on August 17 Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM) and Gov. Tom Vilsack (D-IA) participated in a town hall meeting at Sullivan Brothers Convention Center in Waterloo."


In turn, Wakeup Wal-Mart is led by, among others, Paul Blank, former political director for the Howard Dean presidential campaign, and Chris Kofinis, who helped create the DraftWesleyClark.com campaign.

Wal-Mart Watch's media team includes Jim Jordan, former director of the Kerry campaign, and Tracy Sefl, a former Democratic National Committee aide responsible for distributing negative press reports about President Bush during the 2004 campaign."

You sound just like an activist for Wal-Mart. Or, perhaps, a lobbyist spending a few hours on FR to help your client. I do not buy your arguments either.

Don't be too hard on the man. Wal-Mart bashing is something he does as a hobby.

His real interest is in promoting real estate bubble scare stories.
