So much for Walmart's wholesome, family values image. I suppose this will create quite a dilemma for the business-hating lefties.

[DungeonMaster]

Boycotting Wally World is going to be tough.

[sweetliberty]

Arkansas ping!

"Wal-Mart has also agreed to sponsor some of the chamber’s programs, including two of its conferences. "

Well, that's all the Wal-Mart shopping I'm gonna do now. They're now gonna go the route of Ford Motor Co., and they deserve what there PC-ness will bring them.

Between hiring illegals, and now sponsoring faggot/dyke events, I don't need that....

There's a place for reader's comments at the link.

Sam must be rolling over in his grave. Et tu Wal-Mart?

[Jane Austen]

Isn't Toyota also?

[trustandobey]

With you on that one, I'm sick and tired of corporations trying to push their sick agenda's on me.

[jefseadot]

Meh, not really. Business-hating lefties still have a large number of reasons to hate Wal*Mart, one of the main ones being that Wal*Mart is now trying to pander to a group it has traditionally opposed in the effort to get more money (you know, because profits have been down lately and they need to find some way to get back into the black).

[ElkGroveDan]

Let's be friends

[massgopguy]

Promoting "diversity" by having a seperate Chamber of Commerce. Okee-dokee.

"I'm sick and tired of corporations trying to push their sick agenda's on me."

Since it's all about bottom-line, and they are succumbing to the extortion of a threat of lawsuits and the associated costs, they take the cheapest way out and cave in to the deviates...

Well, let's see if public principle is exercised and they understand that they went to the well once too often with this decision, too.

Sam Walton is turning over in his grave, I'm sure.....

I just got an email that Sam's Club (Wal-mart owned) is going the "Holiday Season" instead of "Christmas Season" route this year. Seems like they totally PCed the freak out.

[sweetliberty]

"Isn't Toyota also?"

I don't know about Toyota.

[traditional1]

Been there; done that...

Thanks.

Probably not so much PC as they can start putting out holiday season signage next week with the Labor Day and not make any changes until Super Bowl Sunday.

[Dr. Thorne]

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is joining with the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce to help advance diversity within the Bentonville-based retailer’s operations...

Does this mean they will be advancing homo-geneousness?

[txrangerette]

What interests me is this: where CAN WE SHOP without patronizing such garbage? Probably if we knew the facts, just about every alternative to Wal Mart has got the same agenda. Someone, if you know, tell us who DOESN'T have this agenda, and if we can afford it and there's one nearby we'll shop there.

[HiTech RedNeck]

We need a list of who is NOT in the boat with the sads. That would prolly fit on a Post-It.

Yeah, the small size at that...
