Wal-Mart was boycotted by some religious groups on Black Friday for its participation in National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and a $60,000 donation to Out and Equal, an organization which promotes equality in the workplace.
According to the Ventura County Star conservative leaders saw this as a betrayal, accusing Wal-Mart of "sliding down the slippery slope" and "being extorted by the radical homosexual agenda."
On another interesting move by Wal-Mart that may please the liberals in the country. Earlier this year, Wal-Mart CEO H. Lee Scott announced a plan to make Wal-Mart greener.
Whether or not these was an appeal to the liberal community. TIME Magazine reported that Wal-Mart has even gone so far as to demand greener policies from its suppliers.
Still, let us not forget that Wal-Mart is the largest minimum wage employer of the country and that it continues to buy goods from foreign companies without specific human rights regulations. So, starving your employees is fine, as long as the little bit of the foos they eat comes out of paper instead of plastic.
