The head of Target Corp. apologized Thursday over a political donation to a business group backing a conservative Republican for Minnesota governor, which angered some employees and sparked talk of a customer boycott.

1. Did they take the money back?.. . .n/t

3. That was my question too!

And even if they couldn't "recover" the donation
(which they could), they could make a countervaling
donation to the other side.

2. Too little too late.

If they donate in kind amounts to the (D) opponents, I will reconsider.

Until then, money talks. Their words are mere PR bullshit.

4. Insincere

I'm still showing up at noon, tomorrow at my local Target to let them know it's too little, too late. It's a pattern of behavior.They've lost my money.

6. Help! Where did you find this info about tomorrow? My city has more than one -

I would like to check first.

5. I'll forgive Target if they donate $150K to liberal politicians or causes.

They're going to set up a "review process" for future donations...what does that mean? Sounds like they're going to try and figure out how to put lipstick on a pig. Steinhafel doesn't sound sorry, he sounds sorry that it caused such an uproar. Anyone dumb enough to give michelle bachmann money is too dumb to be CEO of a major corporation. She's one of the biggest idiots in Congress. She literally couldn't find her way out of a wet paper bag.

7. Hope the Supreme Court 5 are taking notes

Maybe we the people aren't stupid enough to fall for your corporate personhood donation bullshit.
