do corporations have morals? is it right to expect them to have morals? since corporations have personhood does that mean there should be the expectation of corporate morality? at what price, what dollar amount, what injury, should it kick in?

when do you stop seeing a human face and see a plaintiff. especially in matters like this?

After winning a settlement in a lawsuit following an accident, I had to pay back BC/BS every penny they paid out for medical expenses. Most insurers have a clause that if you sue, they get their money.

So I threatened to boycott Wal-Mart. Glenn thinks that makes me a terrorist. Imagine that me, from a country that is not the US, enlisted and fought, in Afghanistan. I did this in defence of Glenn's country and the GWT. I actually did something to fight hate and destruction and a guy who promotes hate and bigotry behind the guise of "Entertaining" calls me a terrorist!

Glenn willfully ignores his sociatal, moral, ethical, and humanitarian responsibility to make this a much better world. He hides behind the right-wing talking point that he "is, after all, an entertainer and he IS entertaining". Glenn did you enlist and fight? Don't give me the age excuse, I enlisted at 40 years of age.

Glenn, one day you will pull your head out of your capitalist sphincter, and realize that your neighbor needs your help as much as you need your neighbors and it is YOUR responsibility to help them. Isn't that what a free democratic society is supposed to do. God even you and your country are trying to sell Iraq as some form of bringing freedom and democracy there. What a joke!

...and Glenn Beck is a purple monkey.

What Olberman did was give basic information and a healthy dose of "shame on you". I find it hard to believe that Wal-Wart was actually terrified at any point in time.

Another rightwing talking head compares another non-terrorist group to terrorists. Now... complain about a corporate policy that would bankrupt the family of someone with severe brain injury while giving money to a HUGE corporation that makes astronomical profits... and you're a terrorist.

The idea of what a terrorist is just keeps getting odder and odder.

Yeah, they are tough on terrorism.. as long as you want to expand the definition to include people who complain about corporate self-enrichment at the cost of injured employees or American soldiers who were injured in combat and dare to speak out against radio hosts.

Glenn Beck saw that Rush was making money by being divisive, so he thought he would cash in by acting in a similar way. That's it folks. That's the whole thing. He certainly is no "journalist".

The man is an empty suit and deserves no notice.

Wal Mart by their greedy actions, forced this family man who has cancer and recently lost his son in Iraq to divorce his wife in order to get medicaid. For God's sakes, what has the American Corporations, CEO's, Board of Directors done to this country? Put us in Moral bankruptices to further their greed, how many more "PIGS" are there in Arkansas, or should I say Razorback Hogs? Consider this, most of their stock comes from China, who runs sweat shops for children, I thought we got rid of Slave labor, perhaps Wally's World Corporation should move to China!

Glenn Beck is an asshole of the "N"th degree. This is what happens when one drinks the Kool Aid a little too often. Detatchment from reality and a sense of loathing of anything resembling of compassion.

You want to put WalMart and corporate America in its place?

Stop shopping.

Only a highly deranged egghead could look at this case and side with Wal Mart.

Economic terrorist blackmail? Oh please. How about labeling Wal Mart a hopelessly greedy, non-feeling corporate bully? How about recognizing as totally unacceptable a health care system that thinks bankrupting a brain damaged invalid is good policy. Rather than leave her penniless, it'd probably be more humane to take her out behind the barn and shoot her.

After first reading about this story, even before Keith Olbermann did his wonderful thing again, I thought long and hard about what could be done. A boycott of their stores would be great, but too many people do not understand what Wal-Mart is or what it does to people and communities. So, I discussed this case with my husband, and we realized that we can buy everything we need at other stores in the area, so it is not too difficult for us to boycott Wal-Mart and Sam's Club, even though it will be a financial stretch for us. But what about the communities that Wal-Mart has decimated? IN the town of Burlington, CO, for example, the Wal-Mart 30 miles away in Goodland, KS has driven many of the businesses that were once in Burlington out of business, and the ones that are left are struggling to survive. Even the grocery stores are down to a Safeway and Burlington Foods, which is really a glorified convenience store. What about small towns that did not stand by local business owners and brought in Wal-Mart, where do they go now?

It is time to start a national campaign that would incorporate not only shopping at other stores, but restoring local businesses that can compete with stores like Wal-Mart in providing goods and services. It means local banks will have to step up and give business loans at low rates; local suppliers of goods will have to start selling only to local or regional businesses, not shipping their goods to other markets because Wal-Mart will not buy from them; people will have to find other resources to buy from, such local department stores, hardware stores, electronics stores and if they are not there yet, ask why and encourage them to come to their towns. It also means that people will have to do without for some things for a while as these businesses get up and going, but they can fill in by shopping online if the need is too great or try K-Mart if you must.

In short, Americans are the only ones that can take a company like Wal-Mart and undo the damage that they have done to this country. It is time to demand that our local leaders stop cowering before corporations and start supporting their citizens. It is time for local and regional banks to step up to the plate and develop loan programs for small businesses that can encourage them to stay in communities as they rebuild business networks and new consumer bases. It is time for local and regional banks to support local agricultural efforts, through not only reasonable agricultural food production development loans, but also through loans to start regional farmer's markets or agribusiness efforts on a local or regional scale. It is time for American citizens to demand such actions and demand that corporations like Wal-Mart leave their communities for good.

DO NOT JUST BOYCOTT THEIR BUSINESS, SHUT IT DOWN BY DRIVING IT OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND RETURNING OUR COMMUNITIES TO ITS CITIZENS AND ITS BUSINESSES! AND DO THIS TO EVERY BUSINESS IN YOUR COMMUNITY THAT HARMS THE CITIZENS OF THAT COMMUNITY!

Anyone with the name Beck should be embarassed by the rantings of this lamebrain. I tried to watch him occasionally but turned off in disgust. He definitely is a ranting know nothing (not to call him an idiot) neo-con Bushit.

There are some who really think that CNN is a bit different. Actually it is finally coming out the the famous LUCE -Time elements are still running their ultra-right dog and pony show. Why else would they put up with Beck and company?

My husband watches GB and I make him put on the headphones. I've told him that GB is a total creep but he likes him. Maybe it's a guy thing. GB is so anti rights for ordinary people it is disgusting.
