Crosshairs on Wal-Mart

Last May, a frightened teenager was trapped inside his home when a mob of SEIU astro-turfing thugs (estimated at 500 strong) trespassed on his front lawn to protest to intimidate his father, the deputy general counsel of the Bank of America. While the protesters caught the family by surprise (allegedly aided and abetted by the police), unbeknownst to them, Fortune’s Nina Easton was a neighbor to the victim and exposed the injustice for what it was.


Now, though, another gang of astro-turfing thugs has targeted (yes, targeted) the private home of a real estate developer for the audacity of building a WalMart that will employ up to 1200 DC-area residents.

With unemployment in Washington, DC at 10.2%, it is hard to imagine anyone not wanting to see jobs added. That is, unless that someone is a union that doesn’t like the fact that WalMart operates its U.S. stores union-free.

but...but...but that can't be a crosshairs on their website, all the conservatives here swear that a crosshairs cannot have lines that extend beyond the circle. Not to mention the smiley face.....who ever saw a crosshairs with a smiley face in the middle?

It wasn't all that long ago that Evergreen tried whatever they could to keep Walmart out of their town....and they were hardly left wing thugs, mostly they were conservatives in business suits.

archer, you may want to check out Bob beckels claim of inventing the crossheirs..heavens....he's a flaming liberal, who you lib's just love..but, but, but..prove your statement that the conservative businessmen didn't want walmart in evergreen..you better check out the wacky liberal environmentalists in evergreen who didn't want it!

Great post Neptune

There are right wing thugs too, abortion protestors who picket the homes of doctors.

It was a joint effort in Evergreen....the post was meant to be tongue in cheek, guess that went over your head.

SS109 is right. There are thugs for all causes these days.

I have noticed the anti-Wal-Mart protesters tend to be a combination of unions and high income NIMBY's, many of the lower class people want the jobs and the lower prices, especially in depressed urban areas.

Archer from what I see, and some of those folks I talk to over there, I would not class them into the conservative side, or the right or left. To me, they are nothing short of becoming Boulder South. As I refuse to go to boulder because of their holier than thou attitude, Alot in EVG is getting that same way. Not all there but it seems to becoming the majority. (my opinion and does not reflect that of anyone)

There are several Evergreens....and it is interesting to watch the various factions reconcile with each other. We are on "the other side of the tracks" in Brook Forest, as far demographically as it is culturally from Evergreen North. I have lived in both, and I much prefer where I am now. But I still love the small town feel at downtown events like the Christmas Walk, and Roedo weekend. I don't see it at all like Boulder, there is a more "live and let live" attitude in Evergreen, except for a few vocal factions. It has certainly changed in the years I have lived there....but we do come together as a community for some things....like the protest of Walmart and the ugly bridge that Jeffco tried to foist on us unannounced.

Anyone want to take a moment to condemn left wing thugs?

How about if we simply condemn thugs?
