Global Exchange is a professional treason group that's in the pocket of Hugo Chavez and every terrorist group known to man. Its founder, Medea Benjamin, is also the founder of Code Pink. Now they are targetting Walmart in Mexico, whose "Walmart Mexicans" voter group elected President Calderon.

What nobody sees is Wal-Mart's supporters. That's because they're inside the store shopping, instead of protesting. Perhaps the AP would care to take a gander in Wal-Mart stores and see how brisk the business is.

" ...accusing the U.S.-based retailer of selling low-cost goods at the expense of workers, farmers and public markets."

Hmm. Well, then Walmart should raise all prices 500%. Will the goods then be expensive enough so as not to exploit the workers?

Ahh so incredible. Whats sad is this is coming to us courtsey of all the politicans that aggressively courting the anti walmart groups in the USA.

I was in Laredo once and it was something to see. There seemed to be a continious line form the border to Wlamart and back. That one Wal Mart prob increased the spending power of the Mexicans in the adjacent town more than anything.

I suspect "they" are terrified that Wal Mart would be a success down there which it is destined to be.

Stupid, stupid morons.

For people that scream "freedom of choice", these idiots don't want anyone to have it! If they want to go to the plaza...go ahead! But don't try to stop anyone from having the choice of shopping at Walmart!

Protestors? I thought they'd all have illegally come here by now!

Code Pink's Medea Benjamin is a Zapatista Groupie too. She's a nymphomarxist. Really, any armed Marxist will do. If it's got a Red Star and a gun, she's gotta have it.

She's inteviewed "Delegate Zero" a/k/a "Subcommandante Marcos" of the ELZN a/k/a the Zapatistas. From a paper "Zapatistas: The Wait for Justice" here's a quote about our little Gomez's revolutionary

The indigenous people cried to prevent the passage of NAFTA, but without a voice went unheard and after NAFTA was passed the EZLN had to mobilize and proclaim to the world the injustice of NAFTA. In an interview with Medea Benjamin, El Subcommandante Marcos states, “NAFTA is a death sentence for the indigenous people. NAFTA sets up competition among farmers, but how can our campesinos – who are mostly illiterate – compete with the U.S. and Canadian farmers?”

Stand by for Code Pink to play a bigger role in this conflict. At least one of Code Pink's leaders was responsible for funneling large amounts of aid that made it possible for the FLMN to kill people.

Medea Benjamin

is a freedom-hating communist, and that's the nicest thing I can say about her.

Oh, I LIVED this kind of doo-doo... long time ago... yes, the leftist demonstrators, there were 'yuts' back then too.

Where I am from, they managed to drive OUT all US businesses that lifted the economy.

Now (and I just visited after 30 years!!!), the place has the same pot holes it had in 1970, just deeper and larger. There is no work. There is more corruption. People don't smile. Local industry is pick-pocketing.

Got to love it, but we know why they export their criminals, they got too many!

[Doctor Raoul]

I'm sure the Mexican Embassy will be glad to hear about their citizen's ties to the ELZN.

Walmart is the largest private employer in Mexico.
