How Wal-Mart Hurt Our Feelings

So here we are, 16 months since the launch of America's campaign to change Wal-Mart. With a national debate raging about whether or not Wal-Mart is good for America and with the WakeUpWalMart.com movement growing to more than 246,000 supporters, it comes to this - Wal-Mart launches its very own personal attack website (yikes, it seems like someone is angry!).

On July 13, 2006, Wal-Mart, a 300 billion dollar company with 11.2 billion dollars in profits, decided to take a page right out of Karl Rove’s “swift boat” playbook and launched a new vicious attack website, paidcritics.com, against little ole WakeUpWalMart.com.

And, to be honest, our feelings are hurt (ok, not that much).

You heard it right. Wal-Mart, a company with slowing sales, a terrible public image, awful employee morale, and the cause of so many social woes in America that it’s become a living corporate experiment of how to do things wrong, has decided to attack those folks (meaning us, Democrats, reporters, activists, and little puppies… OK, we are exaggerating about the puppies, but give it time) who want Wal-Mart to be a more responsible company.

Suffice it to say, our feelings are a little hurt. We thought fighting for more affordable health care, a living wage, a better Wal-Mart and a better America were good things. We never thought a single rational person would disagree with us – boy we were wrong!

Wal-Mart’s latest website (which by our last count is the third website launched by Wal-Mart to defend how great it is to exploit 1.3 million workers for the sake of $5 toasters), decided to take a lesson from the many right wing operatives who work for the Wal-Mart campaign.

These great guys who love to stretch the truth (or what mom called liars), honed their special Wal-Mart skills on an array of right wing political campaigns. Our personal favorite is the work they did for the Swift-Boat attack campaign launched against John Kerry in 2004 (although attacking CBS and every Democrat in last decade both come as close seconds).

Of course, Wal-Mart tried to hide the fact that it started this new website, but our crack team of logicians, cryptologists, and researchers, was able to decipher the sophisticated set of “Dummy Right Wing Front Group Wal-mart Websites” (or DRWFGWW’s for short) that tie right back to…guess who…Wal-Mart.

The above part of the website is entertainingly abusive.
