Is SaveWalMart for real? They say they want to save Wal-Mart from the radical homosexual agenda. I can't decide whether this is satire or serious. What do you think?
It's from Operation Rescue, so I'm sure it's real.
Wal-Mart now dispenses the "Plan B" abortion pill which makes them an accomplice to the killing of little boys and girls in the privacy of American homes.

Where on earth do you start with what's so abhorrent with that site?
My vote is the spelling. Their "full page ad" speaks of biblical principals, and that's just the beginning. I can stomach the bigotry, but I draw the line at bad spelling and grammar.
Also, the letters page irks me on a bunch of levels. First of all the dunderheadedness of the letters themselves, and second, WalMarts mealy mouthed response. For once, I would love it if a megacorp answered protests with "Go ahead. Take your business elsewhere, we already have more money than you could ever goddamned dream of. You won't be missed."
Also, supporting and paying for Gay and Lesbian special interests turns off family people.
As a radical heterosexual, I'm kinda baffled at how the Plan B "ABORTION!" pill fits in to the gay agenda. Are gays getting pregnant now? Or is it, like, one of those deals where you kill the children and bake their blood into bread? Either way, I'm pretty sure I should be outraged.
