Filthy, Evil, Inhuman MONSTERS

The Democrats must immediately go on the attack against the biggest threat to Western civilization in the history of the world. They must immediately begin holding rallies and protests against the filthy, evil, inhuman monsters we all know as Wal-Mart! For they have done something so filthy and evil that is is inhuman. And Monstrous.

They are going to start selling a months supply of generic prescription drugs for $4. FOUR DOLLARS a month. To EVERYONE, not just the insured.

Oh, that's right. Never mind. They already are attacking. This, of course shows why the anti-Wal-Mart strategy was incredibly foolish. The millions of people who shop at Wal-Mart daily are not going to take kindly to the Democrat's campaign against the retailer. Especially now.

TAMPA, Fla. - Wal-Mart announced today that it will start a test program in Florida, where it will sell generic prescription drugs for $4 for a 30-day supply. The test will start tomorrow in 65 Tampa Bay-area stores and is to expand to the whole state by January.

In a statement, CEO Lee Scott says the world's largest retailer intends to "take the program to as many states as possible next year."

On average, generic drugs tend to cost between $10 and $30 for a month-long supply.

The world's biggest retailer said that it will test the program in Florida that will make 291 generic drugs available — which are used to treat a variety of condition from allergies to high-blood pressure — for only $4 per prescription for up to a 30-day supply. It will also be available to the uninsured.

The program will be launched on Friday at 65 Wal-Mart, Neighborhood Market and Sams' Club pharmacies in the Tampa Bay area in Florida and will be expanded to the entire state in January.

The company said it plans to take the program to as many states as possible next year.

"Each day in our pharmacies we see customers struggle with the cost of prescription drugs," said Wal-Mart CEO H. Lee Scott, Jr., in a statement. "By cutting the cost of many generics to $4, we are helping to ensure that our customers and associates get the medicines they need at a price they can afford."

I am really looking forward to the attempts to attack this. Or the furious backpedaling among the smarter politicians. Wal-Mart just pulled off an absolutely stunning coup on the unions and the Democrats that are serving as their proxies.

By the way, don't miss the way the article attempts to conflate Wal-Mart's employee health benefit program with this program aimed at all customers. It is one of the most stunningly dishonest pieces of reporting I have ever seen. You will literally do a double take when you realize they shifted to a completely different topic halfway through the article. The spin will make your head spin.

Who do you think are going to be seen as the filthy, evil, inhuman monsters now?

UPDATE: Environmental Republican calls it brilliant. PoliPundit agrees: evil, evil, evil.
