Yesterday, Wal-Mart spokesman Peter Kanelos' was quoted in the Arizona Sun Daily denying Wal-Mart knew about the Nazi image paid for by their campaign group Protect Flagstaff.
But now, Bloomberg News is reporting that Chuck Coughlin, the consultant to the Wal-Mart campaign group and the designer of the ad, said that Wal-Mart
reviewed all the ads before they ran...They (Wal-Mart) did not raise an objection."
Here is the quote from yesterday's Arizona Daily Sun:
"Campaign involvement was not part of the equation, he (Kanelos) said, adding that Wal-Mart's involvement is merely funding, and the corporation doesn't participate at a grassroots level. Because of this, Kanelos is unaware of the controversial campaign ads or whether Wal-Mart would support a campaign that used them. `I can't comment on the ad. I haven't seen it,' he said. `We donate to the campaign committee'."
Which one is it Wal-Mart?
And when is Wal-Mart going to denounce the Nazi imagery used by a campaign group it funds and apologize?
