AMONG THE BOOKS IN QUESTION:

• It's Perfectly Normal : A sex education book that discusses the changes that occur during puberty.
• The Perks of Being a Wallflower : About a high school freshman coming of age, struggling with issues such as sexuality, drugs and relationships.

• The Plastic Man : A 1940s comic about a former criminal who fights crime with a body that can stretch into any form.

THE WOODLANDS - A Houston-based veterans group plans to stage rallies Saturday to protest children's books at Montgomery County libraries that they say contain explicit material.

Jim Cabaniss, president of American Veterans in Domestic Defense, says the group has a list of 70 books that it believes are inappropriate. It contends the books contain pornographic pictures or promote homosexuality.

''Our purpose is to deal with the excessive smut and pornography in the children sections of the library," said The Woodlands resident.

or something

Oh god these people are sick. They're probably going after him because they think he looks gay.

He IS in the Justice League right now if I'm not mistaken.

They've officially hit rock-bottom.

They would be laughable if not so frightening. :(

And what the hell is this about domestic defense? Is this another Minuteman group protecting god-fearing americans against the brown-skinned scourge? And don't they realize that freedom of information is one of those things the military supposedly fights for (global hegemony notwithstanding)?

Ok, I think they're idiots for the other 2, but...Plastic Man?

:wtf:

Honor our Fascifrices.

The only difference between Plas and the rest of the folks in tights is that Plastic man can actually stick his head up his own butt - which is the position these good people are in "cranial rectal misadventure" is another way to describe this.

:shrug:

And what's wrong with explaining to kids that they're not dying when they go into puberty? Can you imagine a young girl having her first period and her parents won't tell her what it is?!?!? Or a young boy having wet dreams and his parents won't tell him what it means?!?!? Now THATS good parenting. :eyes:

..plug it up! plug it up... OY

:wow:

The RLC is a sickening theocratic cesspool. They successfly had the penis on a statue of David that was at least 60 feet off the ground on top of a sporting goods store covered with a fig leaf, and complained that a Bucca de Beppo in the same shopping center had a picture of a nude boy peeing in the men's bathroom. They are the fundiest of the fundies, to the point where the mainstream Republicans (and they are crazy too) distance themselves from the RLC.

As for AVIDD, they are not so much a veteran's organization but rather an organization of right-wing fundamentalist whackos who happen to have served in the military: http://www.avidd.org/

because they are Ex-mil shitheads and evidently never read the frigging document they were sworn to die defending.

FUCKALL I am in a pissy mood. I WANT INDICTMENTS AND I WANT THEM NOW.

thank that feels much better

Forwarded to my various authors' groups....

Maybe it's the costume?

it IS disturbing.

The biggest saving grace of Frank Miller's long-awaited inferior sequel to his very well done graphic novel, "The Dark Knight Returns," was Plastic Man, who (along with several other superheroes) had been imprisoned by the president's administration.

TlalocW

The running joke in the 60's incarnation was "(phew) what's that SMELL?"

Seems Plas had a "plastic" smell like styrene or vinyl.

Not being snarky just cant for the life of me see how that is disturbing.

pornagraphic?

I see nothing more erotic than any other contact sport.

Can you please be more specific?

Has it occured to you that I was guessing their justification? Stop looking to get indignant with me--there's so much more to get bent about.

I do not use the sarcasm icon becasue it it redundant and only necessary, imo, for the brain-dead. FYI.

Looking to get indignant with you.. at all. I was looking at that damn pic over and over again thinking that there must be some sort of penis outline or something i wasn't seeing. I was getting frustrated at myself.

No it did not occur to me and I do aplogize, sincerely.

Sometimes we all get a little brain dead, ya know? Im sure you have a few times, no?

wow.. just sorry.

VERY bitchy feelings today.
I shoud have stayed off the board.
I meant that two men touching is enough to freak out the fundies here.

As a Chicago Dem in Texas, it gets frustrating sometimes.

I haven't exactly been a sweet bowl of cream of wheat around here lately either.

I totally see what your saying now and sorry for being a dunce about it earlier.

As far as your frustration in TX, I feel for you I really do. I gotta say though don't we have some incredibly awesome DU'ers down there?

And you'd be shocked at the number of closet dems & progressives.

Don't count us out yet...

Yes, obviously he's a communist threat! Why didn't I see that before!
:sarcasm:

Because then they might have to live up to that oath they took. The part about defending the constitution.

"Congress shall make NO law..abridging the freedom of the press.."

I've seen it first hand.

This is disgusting, it's pretty damn bad when a country likes to boardcast on the loud speaker that they are for so called "freedom" every day, but they do the complete opposite, by doing things like this.

She hopes they bring their own books. If they shred county property, she will involve law enforcement.

:wtf: :rofl:
