love this woman.

1. I didn't watch the video - was she looking for Missoni stuff?

I read over the weekend that Target had grossly underestimated the demand for the Missoni line.

4. thanks. i did another rec.

[TheDebbieDee]

5. What's this? The rec gestapo? ;^ )

[Obamanaut]

6. I 'rec' the earlier one, but 'unrec' this one. nt

[LaurenG]

8. Why? Aren't both rec worthy?

I'd like to think that DU'ers aren't so anal that only one thread of the same topic can have a rec. I 'rec' this one just to mess with you. :P

[Obamanaut]

12. It's an interesting story - both times. But only one needs to be on the greatest

page.

Multiple threads on the same topic often with the same photo make one wonder what goes through the OP's mind when posting. Is it something along the line of "Rather than simply 'kick' this OP, I'll make one of my very own, because mine will be best. Look at MEEEEEEE!"

7. I haven't been able to rec this. It's within the time allocation.

9. Anyone want to talk about Target's labor practices?

11. I'm sure Rushbo will give her shit about it and say she should shop at Wal-Mart like every other

red blooded American. Nothing the Obamas do will ever be good enough for the rightwing haters.

[TBF]

13. We can talk about WalMart's crappy labor practices as well. nt

[Erose999]

14. Indeed, pertty much any big name retailer has horrible labor practices. And as the article states,

Michelle is working on some programs involving WalMart and therefore giving tacit White House approval to those awful labor practices. I think the Dittoheads already have an axe to grind with Target over some imagined faux pas involving a Target store not donating to a veterans group.

Target is seen (by them) as being liberal. I have a friend who refuses to shop at Target. "My pastor told me not to shop there" he said. I asked him what his pastor has against Target and he repeated the Rushbo meme. After I deconstructed it for him, he said the following: "I still won't shop there, its just so... liberal. All the hipster clothes, the color red, organic everything...".
