Debbie Schlussel: WHY?: Wal-Mart Still Selling Nazi Death's Head Battalion T-Shirts
Why is Wal-Mart still selling Nazi Death's Head Battalion T-Shirts?
In November, Rick of liberal website Bent Corner reported that he saw Nazi Death's Head Battalion T-Shirts on sale at his local Wal-Mart. I wrote about it. Later that day, I got an e-mail from Marshall Manson, one of Wal-Mart's paid PR flacks, claiming that the retail giant would "immediately" remove all Nazi Death's Head T-shirts from all Wal-Mart stores, but that it "might take a day or two."
Well, almost a full month later, guess what? Wal-Mart is still selling the T-shirts. Reader Rob reports:
Subject: Nazi SS Death's Head Battalion skull T shirtThe local Wal Mart in Clarksville Indiana is still selling these and has a decent supply of them too!
Not so sure how great they are doing with this so called recall?Wal-Mart Supercenter Store #1476

Why is it so important that Wal-Mart stop selling these T-shirts? The Nazi SS division, Death's Head Battalion ("Totenkopf"), which included such evil men as Johann Leprich, murdered millions of Jews and non-Jews, many of them after pro-longed torture and rape. The Death's Head Battalion skull and bones is now frequently worn by Neo-Nazis.
WHY is Wal-Mart still selling Nazi T-shirts when they've had almost a month notice and promised to "immediately" remove them from the shelves? Maybe it's the same reason that after Wal-Mart got caught by ICE (Immigration & Customs Enforcement) forcing janitorial contractors to hire illegal aliens, they got caught again with illegal alien contractors building a store in Pennsylvania.
Wal-Mart feels it can get away with it. And apparently it has. We wonder if there were KKK T-shirts--no, make that anti-Islam T-shirts--if they'd still be selling at Wal-Mart.
Don't count on it. Wal-Mart may have put the "Merry Christmas" back in their stores. But the retailer still hasn't removed the Nazi Ts.
Remember as you do your holiday shopping that Wal-Mart is now the official outfitter of neo-Nazis, who've been flocking to the stores to buy the T-Shirts.
Shame on you, Wal-Mart.
