Protestors demand WalMart put CHRIST back in Christmas

[TalkingDog]

The small city near where I live. Very red. Very Christian....well, nominally Christian.

WalMart basically brushes them off, suggesting they don't cow-tow to the Christians anymore since they've started opening stores in China. Maybe they'll celebrate the Chinese New Year instead....moneywhores.

Of the huge crowd at Wal-Mart on Saturday morning, about 20 came not to shop but to protest.

“Wal-Mart has been eliminating any word of ‘Christmas,’ ” said demonstration organizer John Thomas. “It’s all ‘Happy holidays.’ ”

They stood near Applebee’s after being asked to move from the store’s parking lot, Thomas said.
