Sage Krauthammer on Corporate "Arrogance"

Posted by Ryan W. McMaken at December 5, 2004 12:24 AM

I was flipping around the dial, and listened to the Hugh Hewitt show for about 5 minutes. Being predicatbly devoid of anything remotely interesting, the host was asking Krauthammer, who apparently knows everything about everything in the Hewitt universe, what he thought of Target's declining to allow Salvation Army kettles at their stores this year. K admitted that he didn't know much about it, and hypothesized that it was because Target is anti-Christian but that even if that isn't the case its a sign of "corporate arrogance" on the part of Target.

Well, I know its hard to be as humble as Krauthammer and his fellow invade-the-entire-world comrades, but give me a break on this anti-corporate nonsense. "Corporate arrogance?" Just more of the same government-loving, everything-else-hating garbage coming out of the Republican Party and its buddies these days.

Just for the record, as Snopes reports, Target has very good reasons for their policies, and even if it didn't, the corporation has the right to allow/disallow anyone they want on their premesis. The last I checked, Target has improved my standard of living (and that of millions of other middle class people) substantially, which is a lot more than I can say for the US Government.
