Who At Target Donated To Yes On 8?

Abe Sauer writes at The Awl:

The truth is not that Target and its leadership have suddenly turned on their commitment to gay rights. It's more that it never really existed to begin with. Further research shows that Target has funneled significant funding to the most socially conservative of Republicans and that it boasts a frightening culture of anti-gay candidate support from Target's own stable of top executives. We have already noted that CEO Gregg Steinhafel and his wife both maxed out their personal contributions this year to Michele Bachmann and Tom Emmer. But Steinhafel is just the captain of the crew. Target's current group of top corporate officers have supported a murderers row of anti-gay politicians. Even more confusing, some of those anti-gay candidates supported by Target's PAC and its executives don't even represent Minnesota.

1. I'm hoping this will dull the shine that so many seem to see when they look at Target compared to

Wal-Mart. They're both union-busting, worker-hating political krakens that peddle crap from China and tell us we can't ever get enough.

2. It sure woke me up! I had never known this about Target and I'll be damn if I

ever shop in a Target again. I have a long memory for stuff like this...

3. What's worse, a company that doesn't pretend to support LGBT causes,

or one that pays you lip service and then betrayal.
I know they're good to their LGBT employees, but then they stab them in the back in the political arena.
