Wal-Mart must have had evidence

From Breitbart:

John Edwards _ a vocal critic of the retailer _ asked his local Wal- Mart store for help in getting the potential 2008 presidential candidate a Sony PlayStation 3. Edwards said a volunteer did so by mistake.

And I'm sure that if the volunteer had managed to score the PS3 that Edwards would have taken it back as soon as he saw the receipt.

This is so far down on the very long list of reasons to despise John Edwards that it hardly bears mentioning. However it does fit into the bizarre society wide war which is being waged against Wal-Mart.

You see Wal-Mart has committed what the left considers the unpardonable sin. They have done what they do so well that they have grown very large and very rich. And having grown large and rich they have refused to do the politically correct thing and apologize for it.

They do not apologize for being so good at what they do that some of their competitors have gone out of business. They do not apologize for driving a hard bargain with suppliers so that their customers pay the lowest prices and they do not apologize for paying their employees market wages.

In the market you sell a product for as much as you can get for it and you buy a product for as little as you can pay for it. The point where the sellers desire to maximize profit and the buyers desire to minimize outlay intersect is called the "market price". This works for any product which can be bought and sold, from an apple to a firearm to human labor (which is just another product). What drives the Wal-Mart haters into paroxysms of foaming madness is the fact that they refuse to inflate the amount of money that they pay to their employees.

That's right, Wal-Mart is regarded as the corporate incarnation of Satan because they do not choose to pay more for a product than it is worth. You heat up the tar and I'll collect the feathers.
