MAURICE BESSINGER, WAL-MART, AND CHINA | 2001-04-21

According to the media, about half of Wal-Mart's products come from Red China. When American hostages were held by that country, Wal-Mart had absolutely nothing to say.

But Wal-Mart led the boycott of Bessinger's products when he committed PURELY VERBAL heresy on the political RIGHT.

Another point: when it comes to Maurice's taking down the Federal flag and when they want to attack the right for being "naziswhowanttokillsixmillionjews," the left is always talking about "our men who fought in World War II."

But during the recent hostage crisis, our men who fought the Red Chinese in Korea were never mentioned.

Maurice Bessinger was one of those FIGHTING the Red Chinese in Korea. Maurice put HIS life on the line for that Federal flag when he felt that side represented his homeland.

The EDGEFIELD JOURNAL and other spokesmen of the League have previously brought up Wal-Mart's support of Red China versus their boycott of Bessinger. Now that the real nature of Red China is front and center, this is no time to pass over this point.

We have got to keep repeating it, because no one else is going to mention it at all.
