21. Warning. Warning. My tinfoil hat!
This entire "War on Christmas" thing has something stirring up Scanlon's "religious whackos" for some ulterior motive. I don't think either Falafel Boy or the Saudstrailan News Organization he works for gives a tinker's damn about Christmas. But I know one large corporation that wants to stop another's success.

I have heard a lot about Target being targeted (no pun) this season, so I looked up how many times, in how many articles Target was mentioned with regards to a boycott.

War on Xmas article talks about Target boycott

The first six articles on google.

Now, we know that one big chain has a data base only smaller than the Pentagon. Target is affecting their sales. Sam Walton had a model of three years max to run out all the small business in the area he invaded. I wonder how long it would take to run a mega business out?

Just my opinion.
