It's a bit of a stretch, don't you think?
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said Friday that it would apologize for helping fund a full-page advertisement showing Nazi supporters burning books that was placed in an Arizona newspaper by a group that is fighting proposed restrictions on Wal-Mart Supercenters.
The advertisement, which ran May 6 and 8 in the Arizona Daily Sun in Flagstaff, urges readers to protect their constitutional freedoms by rejecting a proposition that might limit the building of Supercenters.
The photo in the ad shows a group of Nazi supporters throwing books onto a fire. "Should we let government tell us what we can read?" says the text under the photo. "Of course not." The ad continues, "So why should we allow local government to limit where we can shop?"
