WakeUpWalMart.com Calls On Wal-Mart to Renounce Latest Attacks Describing Democrats As Hezbollah Terrorists

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Yesterday, Herman Cain, a member of Wal-Mart's front group, Working Families for Wal-Mart, wrote an audacious column posted on Townhall.com, a popular conservative opinion website, viciously attacking Democrats and describing Democrats as Hezbollah terrorists. Specifically, Cain renames Democrats who are calling on Wal-Mart to change into a responsible employer as "Hezbocrats." In response, WakeUpWalMart.com issued the following statement attributable to Paul Blank, campaign director for the group:

"Just days after Ambassador Andy Young, the former chair of Wal-Mart’s front group, Working Families for Wal-Mart, was forced to resign because of derogatory statements he made about Jewish-Americans, Korean-Americans, and Arab-Americans in defense of Wal-Mart’s business practices, yet another member of Wal-Mart's front group, Herman Cain, launched a vicious and derogatory attack against Democrats.

"In the column, posted on TownHall.com, Herman Cain, the former CEO of Godfathers Pizza, and an official Georgia steering committee member of Working Families for Wal-Mart, not only personally attacks Democratic leaders, like Sen. Evan Bayh, Sen. Joe Biden, and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, but actually has the nerve to compare them to Hezbollah terrorists.

"In the column, Cain writes, 'The Hezbocrats, armed with nothing more than Katyusha-grade class warfare rhetoric, descended upon Iowa earlier this month determined to take down Wal-Mart, a company they consider the nation’s largest capitalistic oppressor of the proletariat.' In the column, he clearly describes Democrats, again and again, as analogous to Hezbollah terrorists.

"Sadly, this is the second time in a week that a member of Wal-Mart's front group, Working Families for Wal-Mart, has used outrageous language to defend this company. In this case, Cain has used the 'terrorist-card' to attack and besmirch the integrity of some of America’s great leaders and it is simply wrong.

"Herman Cain's column is a disgusting display of how the politics of personal destruction now runs rampant through Wal-Mart's right wing war room.

"For the good of the country, and Wal-Mart itself, we call on Wal-Mart to immediately and publicly denounce Cain's comments and, in the same manner as Ambassador Young, immediately ask for his resignation from the Wal-Mart group.

"We also once again call on Wal-Mart to immediately shut down this pointless attack group, end its association with the cadre of right-wing operatives it currently employs under the made up name of Working Families for Wal-Mart, cast aside its misguided political threats against so many Democratic leaders, and realize that only through real positive change will Wal-Mart become a better company."
