Response to Wal-Mart attack adverts

[yesthattom]

Wal-Mart has set up a fake “grass roots” web site that claims to be “normal people” talking about how great Wal-Mart is and how bad, bad, bad any politician that critizes Wal-Mart is. They’re setting up “swiftboat-like” attack adverts on Democrats.

Some people have responded by creating a web site called:

What are the 'grass roots' sites that are these false fronts? If people linked on their website to the text / name of these things (not the link itself, that would help their google ratings), then a search on that site name would show up many sites saying "walmartrox.com? That's a front for walmart's PR group, and here's why.

ah, thanx. But I'm reading that as an anti-walmart site....it's very confusing. (they're definitely the anti-anti-walmart sites, but I have yet to find the "walmart's doing good" parts, I only see the "anti-walmart folks don't know what they're talking about" parts).

Has it? What's the website? I see http://www.walmartfoundation.org but there's no indication that they're not tied in with the company. In fact, it looks very affiliated with the company. Maybe I'm missing the site?
