WalMart ends its sales, implied possible truth, of anti-Semitic "Protocols

[papau]

At WalMart a hateful anti-Semitic forgery was projected as a legitimate historic book. Both Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com sell "The Protocols" online, but with strong disclaimers.

Wal-Mart ends anti-Semitic book sale
No. 1 retailer agrees to take tract off online market after complaints from Jewish leaders.
September 24, 2004: 8:46 AM EDT

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Bowing to a barrage of complaints from Jewish groups, retail leader Wal-Mart Inc. has stopped selling "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion," an infamous anti-Semitic tract long exposed as fake.

Jewish leaders had complained that the book, which purports to tell of an international Jewish conspiracy to take over the world, was being sold on Walmart.com with a description that suggested it might be genuine instead of a forgery concocted by the Czarist secret police in the early 20th Century.

The description, now withdrawn from the Wal-Mart (WMT: Research, Estimates) Web site, said, "If ... The Protocols are genuine (which can never be proven conclusively), it might cause some of us to keep a wary eye on world affairs. We neither support nor deny its message. We simply make it available for those who wish a copy."

In a statement e-mailed to Reuters, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman said, "Based on significant customer feedback regarding the book titled 'The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion,' we have made a business decision to remove this book ... from our site at www.walmart.com."<snip>

3. I wonder if right-wing WalMart is selling Kitty Kelley's Bush book?

I won't darken their doors to find out! My niece was not only sexually harrassed, but couldn't use WalMart as a job reference as the vindictiveness of her male managers followed her. She had to hire a lawyer to get her good name back.
