Go to its website and search for Hanukkah and up come 200 items. Click on Kwanzaa and up come 77. Click on Christmas, and here’s what you get: ‘We’ve brought you to our ‘Holiday’ page based on your search.’

On the holiday page is a link saying "not what you are looking for click on the link to match your word Christmas. Click on the link and 7970 items to match Christmas. That's over 20 times as many as both of the others combined.

Sure, Wal-Marts have a lot of Christmas stuff. The point is, why doesn't their website take you where you asked to go in the first place?? Why DON'T Kwanzaa and Ramadan and Hanukkah take you to 'holiday'? The are trying to equate Christmas with Holiday rather than just leaving it Christmas. If that's OK with you, great, but I think it is stupid.

This fooferoo has the libs rubbing their hands and licking their lips with anti-corporatist joy. Listen, I have worked in the online retail industry and I can tell you that putting a shopper in the "Holiday" category from that search has nothing to do with discrimination (sheesh) and everything to do with directing the shopper to items that may not have "Christmas" in the title and may be nice things to buy for Hannukah and other holidays as well as Christmas.

And that so-called "letter" sounds like complete fiction to make a bogus case and create a media frenzy to preen in.
