More conservative idiots: "Some Texans Boycott Girl Scout Cookies"

CRAWFORD, Texas - Some families are boycotting Thin Mints and Do-Si-Dos and other Girl Scout cookies. Troop 7527 is down to just two members after the other girls were withdrawn by their parents. And Brownie Troop 7087 is no more.


Why are folks in this conservative Texas town where President Bush (news - web sites) has his ranch so mad at the Girl Scout organization?


Planned Parenthood (news - web sites) and sex education.


The furor was started a few weeks ago by the leader of the anti-abortion group Pro-Life Waco, who sent out e-mails and ran ads on a Christian radio station urging people to boycott Girl Scout cookies because of the "cozy relationship" between the Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood.

These people are morons. OH MY GOD! THEY TEACH THAT HOMOSEXUALITY IS OK? THE HORROR! THE HORROR! ... On edit, I'd like to say, Are you kidding me? Boycotting the Girl Scouts? Is there no end to Right Wing madness in this country?

Here is my favorite snip:

"It embarrassed me to look at it with my husband," said parent Shannon Donaldson.

Poor Shannon. :nopity:

There was a post just the other day on this forum. search for it on Yahoo and you'll probably find an article picked up by Knight-Ridder where a letter I wrote to the Waco Tribune-Herald is quoted.

The other thread, while a minute later than this one, has the right title in the subject.
