John Walton Dies
John Walton, son of Sam Walton and one of the heirs to the Wal-Mart fortune, has died in a plane accident. Do you think that we will see gloating and happiness from the far left on Indymedia, Democratic Underground, or one of the other wing-bat sites?
I would say that their irrational hatred of all things Wal-Mart makes that kind of response almost inevitable.
Update: Speaking of DU, I was over there reading and being entertained when I thought I would ask for clarification on this thread where every Republican male is being compared to the BTK killer. Unfortunately, my commenting privileges have been revoked--surprising only because I have never said anything that was inflammatory or even particularly impolite on the site. In fact, I’ve only left, perhaps, three comments since I registered.
Unfortunately, that means I won’t be able to ask for further clarification of this:
This sickness infest ALL Republicans; the party of the Privileged White Male Psuedochristians
Update 2: Y’all know I was missing Bejus, didn’t you? I can’t believe I didn’t realize...
Update 3: And we have a winner:
Maybe he will be re-incarnated as a slave laborer…
Or this little treasure:
one down…
....four to go…
They really are predictable--but I don’t consider that to be a good thing.
There is, however, a bright light in that thread. “Charlie Brown” offers a dose of decency that the other comments are lacking. Good for Charlie.

think of all the mexicans that will be out of work if this has any affect on the Wal-mart chain.
Unfreakinbelevable!!! They hate a man who gave people more jobs and created more commerce than just about anyone. I just don’t get it. Someone please explain it to me.
It can’t be explained. It can only be boggled at.
Simple: they wouldn’t be Democrats if they understood basic economics. Or if they saw “the poor” as people instead of an underclass to be milked/manipulated for political power.
It’s easy for people to blame others for their poblems, their lack of succes. It’s as simple as jealousy. I see it everyday when working class white folks sit around and try to bring down my Middle Eastern applicants who are kicking ass, making bank, and not even bothering to listen to the idiots who still think that immigrants get “low interest loans” from the the government when in fact they pool their resources and buy stuff up and make it work for them. These idiots don’t really hate WalMart. They hate themselves because they feel so powerless and have no idea how anyone could be THAT rich without being a corrupt bastard. Meanwhile, they sluff off to their jobs where they will sit and bitch about how someone else has screwed them over and if only they could get a break…
John Walton was the husband of my mother’s first cousin. It is incredibly morose and completely lacking in compassion that people can dismiss the incredible loss of this man to his wife and children.
