that Walmart's health plan is Medicaid, and that we all subsidize the fabulous and inherited wealth of the Walton heirs not only by paying their employees' health care and by allowing them to pay wages so low that their employees consistently make less than the Federal Poverty line and qualify for food stamps, but by having built and paid for the roads and bridges their vaunted supply chain depends on. To top it off, we demand less in taxes from those Waltons who are sucking so greedily...

But, admittedly, most of it. Walmart has been fined or sued multiple times for compelling employees to work "off the clock" to avoid paying overtime; discriminates against women; and has orders of magnitude worse employment policies than Target. They also are owned by the Walton heirs who, unlike Sam, who worked his way up and earned his money, whisper in pols ears to bemoan "death taxes" and fund anti-labor, anti-worker legislation while they collect their dividend checks by the pool

I thought Ellison was merely stating what everybody already knows -- Hannity, and his Fox handlers, are the realization of Ayers' dream of "GOP TV" back in the Nixon days. He is a shill for the republican party (remember Ann Coulter's instructive knashing of teeth on his show over one of Romney's many missteps -- saying that if that's how he's going to be, we're done here, we may as well all go home) and the only "news" on "Fox News" is it's Orwellian appearance in the channel's name....

but I agree with Mr. Gleason that it's very unlikely to happen. For one thing, it's unlikely that Kline could mount a statewide campaign without scheduling debates and some truly public events -- which he has been loathe to do in the past. Kline, like so many of his Republican compatriots take great pains to appear in front of friendly crowds who don't ask any uncomfotable questions.
