Democrats boycott Coke, Walmart over voter ID laws
The Examiner ^ | April 4, 2012 | Paul Bedard

Democratic officials Wednesday launched a two-pronged attack on states with new laws requiring identification before voting, the highlight being a call to boycott Coke, Walmart and others that back a leading organization pushing for voter ID laws.

“We are organizing. We are not agonizing,” said Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., who is leading a parallel Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s effort to get government identification into the hands of the estimated 2-3 million Democrats who don’t have one. “We have staffed up,” he said.

It will be a pleasure to shop more at Walmart just to tick off a liberal.

I love everything about South Carolina except for kudzu and the 6th congressional district with its congressthing-for-life James Clyburn. Sixth District is the plantation and he is the plantation owner, if you overlook that Clyburn is a certified idiot but gerrymandering long ago solved that little problem. We has been under NAACP boycott since 2000 over the Confederate flag and all it does is make Democrats & black athletes tie theselves into pretzels to avoid staying in public accomodations. Boycott this, boycott that, it’s all mox nix.

And the flag? It had been a third little flag beneath two other little flags way up on top of the State House dome. Now it flies proudly almost at street level, right next to the Confederate Soldier monument, in an enhanced ensemble of Rebel defiance, staring pointedly northward.

Boycott? Be careful what you wish for.

Elitest democrats don’t shop at Walmart anyway, so it’s easy for them. And their voters in the inner cities and poorer areas can’t afford to shop anywhere else. So good luck with the boycott. I doubt Walmart will notice any change whatsoever.

When I participated in Operation Chaos in 2008 I had to show a photo ID to attend the democrat party caucus the night of the primary. When I said, “I thought we were against requiring a photo ID” I was told democrat party rules required proof of ID to participate.

So true. Can't you just see Clyburn's "type" going else where & spending more for the same. Actually this could increase sales.

I guess that boycotting Florida will be next.

We’ve required ID for voting for years!

Like the welfare left will stay out of Walmart. I seriously doubt it. It is just too convenient.

They are probably also protesting how Wal-Mart makes them show ID when they are using credit cards.

Just got back from Wal-Mart - I don’t think the boycott is working.
