Anti-Wal-Mart agitprop
The Washington Times ^ | December 20, 2005 | Joel Mowbray

Posted on 12/20/2005 12:07:18 PM PST by JZelle

Inside a South Florida Wal-Mart last Thursday, union-sponsored protesters handed out empty, gift-wrapped boxes to children and made them cry, according to multiple witnesses -- and it appears that the arrests of two of the protesters may have been part of a grand strategy designed by Big Labor-backed WakeUpWalMart.com. Yetdespiteinternal WakeUpWalMart.com communication -- obtained exclusively by this columnist -- indicating that the union-funded front instructed its protesters to test police patience, the organization is now playing the race card since the two protesters arrested (out of 15 total) are both black. Late in the afternoon last Thursday, two people dressed as elves, and, in the words of an employee, someone who "kind of looked like Santa," walked into the North Lauderdale Wal-Mart armed with empty, gift-wrapped boxes and WakeUpWalMart.com fliers. According to several Wal-Mart employees and the sheriff's office, the presents were given to a number of children, and at least one, a 4-year-old boy, opened the gift inside the store. Discovering that the box was empty, the little boy started crying.

Unions are terror organizations who blackmail and agitate until you buckle under to their demands. Nothing more. They hurt people. Just remember the kids who got stuck in the Philadelphia airport last Christmas because of the animals "working" at US Air.

Terrorists. Plain and simple.

The term jackasses comes to mind.

Stooping so low as to pick on children...pathetic losers.

Should have called in the bomb squad to detonate the suspicious packages, after they strapped them to the backside of the union thugs.

The same thing with PETA. They pour fake blood all over themselves and shock people in the street. Nobody wants to see that.
If someone makes my daughter cry to prove a point, cause or no cause, I'm kicking his ass. Period.

Were you one to make fun of it before? You know, I was accused of questionable sexual orientation because of it.
Oh well, no harm no foul.

just don't tell JerseyRepublicanBikerChick about those stories.

Not I. It's the first time I saw your name out here. I figured there had to be a good story behind it. Nice dog!

"If they were to do that to my kid they'd be missing a few teeth."

all they'd want for christmas would be their two front teeth? I never take anything from anybody on the street or in front of a store. It's natural to offer your hand when someone tries to hand you something, I have 'trained' myself not to do this. If a stranger is handing you something, they have an agenda, and until I know what it is my hands stay where they are. I wish everyone was like me.

Walmart against the unions. The retail arm of the Chinese Empire against a bunch of classless,lazy bums. May they both lose.

Union thug 1: "I know! Let's give kids some empty wrapped boxes! When they open them and start to cry, Mom and Dad are SURE to get the message!"

Union thug 2: "Yeah!"

Do any of these thugs have kids? Good golly, the ineptitude!
