Wal-Mart front group member compares Democrats to HezbollahHa. Hillary "Wal-Mart Board" Clinton is an anti-Wal-Mart guerrilla? Joe Biden, the Senator from Citibank, wielding an RPG?
Hezbollah:
If Democrats actually resembled Hezbollah, you might be able to vote again.
- Has an actual popular movement base
- Delivers some fraction of the proverbial goods to that base
- Can fight
- Is willing to tangle with Israel
Thanks for your blog. It's welcome reading from the confines of Beltway Democratic-support organizations.

Yeah but I have a feeling buying a sixpack would be a bit more of a hassle than it is now.

That's a really bizarre article, even apart from the the invention and use of the ludicrous term "Hezbocrats"--according to Jonathan Tasini's Daily Blog (http://workinglife.typepad.com/daily_blog/2006/08/the_beast_court.html), Wal-Mart is actively courting, not demonizing, the Democrats--especially the Congressional Black Caucus. If Cain really is a paid shill for Mal-Wart, he's doing a remarkably inept and ham-handed job.

Ah, Democrats = Hezbollah meme. Flippant comments:
1. Both are fronts for the real powers-that-be
(Hezbollah is the Shia front for Iran in Lebanone.
Democrats are shills for the real powers, ie, the Media Party, the billionaire-Soros-funded movements like Media Matters, etc.)
2. Both are cowardly organizations who talk big but do little. Nasrallah sounded like Nancy Pelosi in his post-war climbdown, only a tad more, er, feminine.
On the flipside we have:
3. Quran-thumping-bunch-o-islamic-fundamentalists
vs. Howard Dean, anti-bible-thumper, and his 'outreach' to Christians, like they are an obscure tribe in America.
Serious comment: this "Hezbocrat" Grade-D partisan name-calling, as inane a "Bushitler", runs up against difference between a real political party that does some good in USA and what is little more than a militia that does no good for Lebanon. When I see Democrat activists carrying AK-47s (hmm, gotta change that 2nd amendment view :-)), it may get traction,
Other points:
"Willing to tangle with Israel".
Whoa nelly: You mean, willing to send terrorists over to make attacks; willing to fire rockets at Israeli children (including killing Arab Israeli children); willing to use Lebanon as a 'human shield' for their rocket launchers. Gack, Hezbollah started the recent war and is fully responsible for the death and destruction caused. We ought not let flippant comments excuse or evade Hezbollah's disgusting and violent behavior there, even if you don't support what Israel did there (I for one, feel Israel was justified in responding to Hezbollah's provocation.)
"Wal-Mart is actively courting, not demonizing, the Democrats-"
Yes, but the point is that it's the other way - walmart is trying to make nice, but Democrats are demonizing Walmart as a political point about cheap-labor employers. they need a Target (no pun intended) and WalMart is it. Consider what *former Walmart Board Member Hillary Clinton did*:
"Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) returned a $5,000 campaign contribution from Wal-Mart, citing “serious differences” with the company." (From Cain's column)
what 'serious differences'? Hillary's held on to campaign contributions a lot more suspect than this!
