Josh Thompson Hijacks SUFP

^.^

This post could also be called "Dumb Peacenik Group Runs Out of Things to do,
and Therefore Farms Out Their Platform"...

See, SUFP, which stands for Shut Up F***ing Peaceniks, or "Stand Up For Peace" as
they like to be called, has been staging ineffective little protest rallies at a major corner
of two of the main streets that run through Laramie, WY. In these rallies, they hold
signs dissing the war in Iraq, attacking the Bush administration, and basically slamming
the soldiers who are defending the country and allow them to spout their "progressive"
*ack*liberal*cough* line.

Now however, SUFP has allowed itself to be hijacked by one of its members. See, there is going to be a showing of a recently-published film that bashes Wal Mart. Here is what the email from Mr. Thompson says:

"Everyone has seen Wal-Mart's lavish television commercials, but have you ever wondered why Wal-Mart spends so much money trying to convince you it cares about your family, your community, and even its own employees? What is it hiding? This film takes you behind the glitz and into the real lives of workers (and their families) and business owners (and their communities), in an extraordinary journey that will challenge the way you think, feel...and shop."

Now, I don't have a problem with anyone doing a film, or a book. I don't have a problem with anyone being pro-Wal Mart, or anti-Wal Mart, or whatever. However, when a peacenik group decides to go off the reservation and start complaining about Wal Mart, I have to ask what the subject has to do with war in Iraq.

Does Wal Mart support the war? Are they working with the evil vile Haliburton? Are they secretly working to construct internment camps in the wilds of the West?

Perhaps Mr. Thompson should come up with his own group, build his own website, and from there, he can spout his wrinkled gray animal-dung BS all he wants.

But unless SUFP is deciding to franxchise out anti-Wal Mart-ism from their anti-Iraq war normal garbage, such materials should be left out of the SUFP lists.
