I was explaining to you that your characterization of Walt Disney was wrong and unfair. Then you cited a current example of what the Disney corporation does as acts that you found particularly ornery.

I didn’t disagree, but just said that the acts of the current Disney organization offer no insight into the politics and character of Mr Walt Disney.

Hmm, found this on wikipedia. Now, I realize that wikiedia is not always the most accurate source for information. But, it’s there.....

“Disney was an ardent socialist and a supporter of Eugene Debs”

Eugene Victor Debs (November 5, 1855 – October 20, 1926) was an American union leader, one of the founding members of the International Labor Union and the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), and several times the candidate of the Socialist Party of America for President of the United States.[2] Through his presidential candidacies, as well as his work with labor movements, Debs eventually became one of the best-known socialists living in the United States.
