"bottom Dwellers"
yesterday on Morning Joe, Erin Burnett (international superstar.... sarcasm intended) called people who shop at walmart because they can not afford the other stores in this economy (her words)......BOTTOM DWELLERS!!!!! you know....bottom feeders.....humans on the bottom of the food chain.

walmart or no walmart this is outrageous!........I am so tired of these shows, particularly MJ, using elitists condenscending attitudes (on what we need, how we vote, what we think is important)(ie Wright) towards the people who give them ratings......or towards people who can not afford to watch. This is totally unacceptable ...we can not allow them to look down upon once middle AMerica that is now less than middle class because of wallstreet and administrative policies.....
The other day MJ scarborough was saying that the poor woman that goes to work in DC yet lives elsewhere because she can not afford DC would appreciate the $30 gas holiday......I emailed them to let them know that that was not only insulting...but ridiculous that they would offer "us peasants" $30 (give the peasants some crumbs to pacify them) instead of pushing for real solutions. I told Joe he could take the $30 and shove it where the sun don't shine.

If you agree drop msnbc a line...let them know that this is unacceptable.

We can turn them off....or we can hold them accountable

I believe we need to hold them accountable.

3. Wal-mart is a bottom feeding, scum-sucking, POS corporation
My issue is with Wal-mart itself. I understand that there are many people who shop there out of economic necessity. Heck, in many places, Wal-mart is probably one of the only places to get many of the things they want or need.
