Thank you. Just read the site. Problem solved!

You're welcome Dudley!

It was immediately obvious to me when I read the post that it describes a
right-winger's fantasy of what liberals are like, and that it was almost
certainly a hoax. It took about 30 seconds of searching to confirm my
suspicion.

The rumors you propagate below are false, as you could have discovered
with
a quick web search. http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/target.asp
provides documentation.

Allong a similar note:

By: Dick Forrey of the Vietnam Veterans Association

Recently we asked the local TARGET store to be a proud sponsor of the
Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall during our spring recognition event.
We received the following reply from the local TARGET management:

"Veterans do not meet our area of giving. We only
donate to the arts, social action groups, gay & lesbian causes, and
education."

So I'm thinking, if the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and veterans
in
general do not meet their donation criteria, then something is really
wrong
at this particular TARGET store. We were not asking for thousands of
dollars, not even hundreds, just a small sponsorship for a memorial
remembrance
As a follow-up, I e-mailed the TARGET US corporate headquarters and
their
response was the same. That's their national policy.

Then I looked into the company further. They will not allow the
United
States Marine Corps to collect for 'Toys for Tots' at any of their
stores.
And during the recent Iraq deployment, they would not allow families
of
employees who were called up for active duty to continue their
insurance
coverage while they were on military service. Then as I dig further,
TARGET
is a French-owned corporation.

Now, I'm thinking again. If TARGET cannot support American Veterans,
then
why should I and my family support their stores by spending our hard
earned
American dollars and to have their profits sent to France.

Without the American Vets, where would France be today?
Speaking German and eating weinershnitzel perhaps.
