Such obvious snobbery against WalMart and those who shop there. Apparently these libs feel we should shop at overpriced boutiques, paying inflated prices for designer gear created by fussy homosexual designers in urban lofts.

Actually, it transcends snobbery and enters the realm of bigotry.

Well, here in the Bay Area, the very few WalMarts that exist are primarily patronized by poor blacks and Hispanics...so Morford is actually looking down upon the Democrat voting base, not the stereotypical Bible Belt fundamentalists he likes to satirize.

It really is strange, I have known people who barely make enough to shop at Wal-Mart but insist on going to more "trendy" stores. If I try to point out that, in many cases, they are simply paying a lot more for the same thing sold at Wal-Mart they come up with every excuse in the world including "Wal=Mart only sells seconds". Yeah, sure. Most people don't realize that price at retail is mostly unrelated to cost of production, quite often the same product from the same factory is sold under several different brand names and the price can vary tremendously for the same exact product. During the Calvin Klein craze a lot of low-paid young women were paying huge prices for their "Calvins" even though better quality jeans were available at much lower prices. I refuse to pay a lot of money for the privilege of wearing someone's advertising, they should pay me to wear their advertising sign.
