MoveOn.org's Love-Hate Relationship with Wal-Mart

After learning about the MoveOn.org fiasco where they faked American troops in a Bush-bashing video, I decided to check out their website to see if the video was still available [At this writing, it is] H/T Michelle Malkin.

While on their main page I noticed an article blasting Wal-Mart [yawn]:

MoveOn members held viewing parties as part of a coalition effort to bring attention to Robert Greenwald's compelling new documentary: Walmart, The High Cost of Low Price.

And a link takes you to this page, where the Moveon.org folks want you to host a DVD party of this movie that "dives into the deeply personal stories and everyday lives of families and communities struggling to fight a goliath." [See here]

Ho-hum, right? Another pro-Socialism organization, who thinks even WJ Clinton was right of Attila the Hun, is fighting to bring down McDonalds, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Halliburton, etc., etc. It is no surprise whatsoever that they're fighting the likes of Wal-Mart and Exxon, too.

But! While doing a little more snooping I came across another Moveon.org link peddling one of their books, MoveOn's 50 Ways to Love Your Country. Well how about this for the epitome of hypocrisy: Moveon.org is selling this book through Wal-Mart. [Buy it here!]

Message read loud and clear, MoveOn.org. Boycott Wal-Mart for all items except for the ones that make us money. Gotcha.

Thanks! As a perennial Wal-Mart supporter, I love hearing things like this.

One of my favorites, that I found out via CafeHayek, was a story about a firm hiring people for $6/hr to stand outside in the Phx sun in 105 degree heat picketing, to protest the unfair working wages & conditions of the employees inside the air-conditioned megastore earning $8/hr.

It just amazes me how these organizations play on the ignorant and uneducated folks of this country. They have no shame, do they?
