I guess that's really the only question. why do liberals hate wal mart? why is a company that makes money the whipping boy, while we love the auto companies we bail out.

I call myself a liberal and I go to Wal-Mart regularly. I can't say that I love it, but I certainly don't hate it at all.

I rarely go there, but can't understand the loathing on the left for this company. I actually go out of my way to buy american goods.

Liberals hate Wal-Mart? Can you back that up?

I hate Wal-Mart for a variety of reasons, none of which have anything to do with politics.

I remember it was a huge insult to hillary clinton when obama brought up the fact that she was on the board at wal mart. yes, liberals hate wal mart. maybe not all of them, but most.

I didn't ask for a repeat of the claim. I'm looking for evidence. You know; like a scientific poll or something.

You know that Wal-Mart sells tons of non-American goods, right? I would bet that the vast majority of stuff they sell is made outside of the U.S.

I gave you one. barry the resident idiot is the god of the liberals. barry hates wal mart. what are your non political reasons for hating wal mart? are you angry with their low prices and 24 hour schedule? did your ex have a "rollback" tattoo?

I use to like them. Did some work for them (TV ads). They were part of the community. Then they changed (after Sam Walton died). So now I go to Meijers.


[how did they change....well other then the stuff all the anti-walmart websites talk about, the management, from store to district became "holy-big-shots" who felt that they were the center of the universe, and those that worked for them (including outside agencies) were not worth the dirt under their feet. We were to be walked on. That wouldn't have happened if Sam were alive.]

Has nothing to do with current President, the past President or a future President.
