Working Families For Walmart

This could have easily gone in the Walmart thread, but it is so over the top I felt it needed it's own thread....

Walmart Front Group Calls Demos 'Hezocrats'

Late last year Wal-Mart formed its own wingnut front group to try and defend it's company policies. Wal-Mart called the group, Working Families for Wal-Mart, even though it had no working families in the group, was funded directly by Wal-Mart, and is being run out of the same office as their public relations war room.

Since then, this group has recruited a cadre of some of the dirtiest and most extreme right-wing operatives with ties to Karl Rove, the New Hampshire phone jamming scandal, and the infamours Swift Boat Veterans. And, following Karl Rove’s playbook, Wal-Mart’s operatives immediately launched attacks against leading Democrats and even launched a website personally attacking WakeUpWalMart.com staff.

But, yesterday, Herman Cain, one of the steering committee members of Wal-Mart’s front group and a well-known right-wing commentator, completely crossed the line in a column he wrote by describing Democrats who are standing up, on behalf of working families, and asking Wal-Mart to be a responsible corporation as “Hezbocrats.”

Mr. Cain’s remarks come right on the heels of another embarrassing incident for Wal-Mart’s front group when Ambassador Andy Young, the former chairman of Working Families for Wal-Mart, was forced to resign for using derogatory statements to defend Wal-Mart’s business practices.
