Don’t Eat the Thin Mints! Congressman Warns Girl Scouts Are Dangerous!

 

Indiana State Rep. Bob Morris warned fellow Republicans that the Girl Scouts were a radical lesbian, Communist, pro-Planned Parenthood organization.

He advised them to not support a Resolution marking the 100th Anniversary of the Girl Scouts.He did not  say, however, whether Girl Scout cookies were laced with drugs.

For an earlier instance of right-wind  looniness over the Girl Scouts, see the American Legion attack on the Girl Scout Handbook on August 6, 1954.

Seriously! Read his letter: http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20120220/BLOGS01/120229962
