Online Smackdown: Wal-Mart vs. the Critics

July 19th, 2006

It’s a tag-team deathmatch right here on our beloved internets: Wal-Mart hits its union detractors with a site called Paidcritics.com (with headlines just a hair short of an Onion parody), and the unions return fire with the finest URL yet seen, www.abunchofgreedyrightwingliarswhoworkforwalmart.com. Hilarity (and vicious personal attacks) ensue. Here’s Associated Press coverage, courtesy of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

You gotta wonder how either side comes out of this looking particularly good, though I’m glad we get to watch.
