Hey, non-liberals, guess what?
We told you so...
That Citizens United case the Supreme Court held not so long ago?
It's beginning to come home to roost.
Target just gave $150,000 to MN Foreward.
MN Foreward is an organization supporting the election of Conservative Republican Tom Emmer. He's running for Governor in Minnesota.
And Target is getting a lot of bad press and flak for it. From GLBT groups, among others.
While Target is taking most of the heat for this action, they are not the only corporation shovelling money into the pockets of this conservative candidate.
Best Buy donated $100,000 to MN Foreward. And so did Regis Corp. They aren't getting any flak.
MN Foreward, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, has racked up over $700,000 in donations so far.
Nice marketplace of ideas. I'm sure that Mr Emmer's opponent can raise funds to match with one five dollar donation at a time any minute now.
This is the shape of things to come.
Wait until 2012, folks.
You ain't seen nothin' yet.
