Kibitz to Obama Supporters: LET the HRC Campaign Grow Comfortable with the Wal*Mart Counterattack
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 07:53 PM by CorpGovActivist
Let them yammer, on the record.

Let them paint themselves into a corner.

Let them triumphantly yell, "Check!"

Then, patiently explain that small business owners on Main Street throughout America - the ones who have managed to adapt and survive after Wal*Mart came to town, that is - understand the distinction between RUNNING Wal*Mart, and being lucky enough, as a service provider, to be given the "privilege" of being a service provider to the Beast.

For more information on how a certain activist network is mobilizing to get out the truth about Hillary, see http://walmartwatch.com/">WalMartWatch.com.

To see an (already out-of-date) map of Wal*Mart locations, http://alp.truckandbarter.com/archives/data/">visit this blog, and see December 27, 2004.

Finally, think about how this meme will help in Tsunami Tuesday states with the really - REALLY - red concentrations of Wal*Marts.

Obama should talk more about that West Virginia coal miner, who has a sideline business selling to Wal*Mart. I can provide real people's names.

P.S. My grandfather used to say, "Give an idiot enough rope, and he'll hang himself with it." Truer than never before, and Mark Penn can't tie Boy Scout knots like others can.

2. There Is a SUPER Wal*Mart...
... in my hometown now. I've seen it, I know the store owners who lost their businesses, and I've seen the renaissance that can happen when a smart, small community comes together.
