"Yeah..when Did Walmart become a bad word for liberals?"

Here's an old FR post on the subject. 1992 appears to be the year things shifted:

Just one more reason for me to love WalMart.

Wal-Mart has little to say about Hillary Clinton's board service, and will not release minutes of the company's board meetings during her tenure. Lorraine Voles, Clinton's communications director, turned down a request for an interview with the senator.



Wonder why the silence?

(Hillary) Clinton served on Wal-Mart's board of directors for six years when her husband was governor of Arkansas.

Interesting.

Geo - That's definitely a quote worth a million repeats.

The AP article can be found at

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1162094/posts

The larger quote (below) puts into perspective Hillary Rodham's Marxist collective redistribution-ism village...

"Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Sen. Clinton said. "We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

I'll tell you what this is. This is the biggest spin whack job article by the AP in years. What better way to report that Hillary is now "tainted" by corruption than by tying her to the eeeevil Walmart?

The AP is trying to look objective, and unfortunately FReepers are resorting to the obligatory Hillary bashing than reading the obvious spin between the lines.

Hell, if I bought my ties at WalMart, I wouldn't want to talk about it, either.

Tell that to the Wal-Mart workers who Sam encouraged to buy stock in the 60s and 70s and are now filthy rich.

I swear, some threads on FR are identical to DU.

Because there's nothing there. This is a total non-story. Designed to throw some dirt on Hillary so that the sheeple will also think Dims are corrupt too.

I wonder if Clinton has ties to JB Heinz, and Tyson foods as well. As they are also Arkansas based giants of Industry.

Duhhh.

This 'woman' has so much political baggage it's difficult to envision any scenario in which she could actually get elected.

I have no fear of this witch.
As I have said many times here before...Hillary Clinton is unelectable to national office.

I've been saying it on these threads for a long time...and gotten flamed for it.

I don't like/don't shop at Wal-Mart because of their past support of the Clintoonz.

See my Post #15. I figured it out. ;)

"I'd rather have them investigate her connections to corpses in Fort Marcy Park than worry about her ties to Wal-Mart. ;)"

Do you practice the same with DuPont products?

Personally, I avoid DuPont because they sponsor Jeff Gordon. :)

You know the headline could be:

"Hillary Clinton seen putting newborn babies in a sac and throwing them off a the Tappan Zee Bridge, during rush hour"

And, it would still be a none story to the MSM. She always gets a free pass.
