First they came for the thin mints…
This is preposterous:
Rep. Bob Morris, R-Fort Wayne, sent a letter to Indiana House Republicans on Saturday explaining why he was the only member in the chamber not to sign onto a resolution last week celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts.
The resolution applauded the group “for the strong positive influence it has had on the American woman.”
Morris said he did some Web-based research and found allegations that the Girl Scouts are a tactical arm of Planned Parenthood, that they allow transgender
females to join, “just like any real girl,” and encourage sex.Morris also said the fact that first lady Michelle Obama is honorary president “should give each of us reason to pause before our individual and collective endorsement of the organization.”
This is the problem with the idiots in the Republican party: they get their news from email chains. The sorts of email chains that show up in your inbox bearing subject headers like “Fw: Fw: Fw: Fw: Fw: Fw: Fw: OMG HES BLACK”. Emails that are passed around in Teabilly back-channels and are not supposed to be seen by the public. Emails for which Republicans issue “mistakes were made”-type apologies once the public gets their hands on them. E-mails which (former) presidential candidates assume contain facts.
We’re talking emails with photos of Obama with a bone through his nose; photos with a watermelon patch on the White House lawn; birther screeds; screeds about lady sluts using abortion for birth control; and of course, screeds about Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move Program turning young people into socialists, and the Girl Scouts turning girls into transgendered lesbians.
This is your Republican party, future lesbian aborters and gentlemen.
Welcome to Crazy. All are welcome. Just grab a computer, log in to www.republicantalkingpoints.blargh and let your imagination do the rest.
UPDATE: Balloon Juice commenter Doug rightfully points out that I should refute, not simply mock. As such, here’s a link to a page containing facts that will refute “Thin mints make you gay and cause abortions” talking points. Thanks for the link, Doug.

I’m guessing Morris’ “web-based research” was the type of one-handed web-surfing men do at a cost of $19.95 a month.
The internet told me so.
It’s the cookies, that’s what it is. They’re laced with sekrit stuff that turns little girls into oversexed lesbians! I really shouldn’t have bought those three boxes, darn it!
Seriously, it’s increasingly looking like the Republican Party is a job placement program for village idiots. I can see it: “Hey, you know crazy Bob? He needs a job and we really should get him out of the area before he screws up something important.” “Got an idea… let’s stick him in the legislature. Can’t do any harm there!” :roll:
I fully expect Vivid to release “Kenyan Socialist Lesbian Girl Scouts” and make it into a new series
Sounds like someone got roughed up by a girl scout on the playground when he was in junior high and never got over it.
@Ash Can
That sounds pretty fair to say for this type of dude.
I can’t get Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler from Weekend Update out of my head. Really? Really, Bob? Good grief.
I bought 2 boxes of cookies from the Girl Scouts this year even though I really don’t like them. Any opportunity to cause teabaggers to go all frothy is my motto. Also, it’s pretty cool of the Scouts to allow the little transgender girl to join. Shows they really care about the girls.
I predict Girl Scout cookie sales to double this year. I am so totally investing in cookie futures!
HA!
mmmmmm… future cookies
The overwhelming ridiculousness of his comments is only over-shadowed by the overwhelming awesomeness of the accompanying image. Lesbian Vampire Girl Scouts FTW!!
Say what! As a former Girl Scout, I can definitely tell you that Morris has lost his freakin’ mind.
I’m definitely buying GS cookies this year!
He’s cute > http://www.fwdailynews.com/story_img/rep_bob_morris_fort_wayne.jpg
Where the hell were all the sexy-time girl scouts when my sisters were holding meetings in the playroom? I tried mightily to get a peek or two underneath a merit badge and only succeeded in getting noogied.
Is this video gonna be out on Vivid?
best get it before Rick Roll takes away all the porn.
So, the girl scouts are evil now?
Really?
Some shit you saw on the Internet says so?
I dont blame him, I blame the thudfucks that voted for him to the state house to get to the real issues, not jobs, not the right-to-work bullshit they just passed, just evil girl scouts….
Really?
Thanks, ABL, for reminding me that I have to buy GS cookies this year, even if I can’t eat them. I’ll give ‘em away if I have to, but this bullshit must not stand.
I always thought it was book learning and high school drama that made people gay. I would’ve never thought it’d be girl scout cookies. So I’m guessing the guy from AZ has a basement full of girl scout cookies. Ken Starr needs to look into that.
I was so proud when I got my VD badge. Did a lot of tween whorin’ for that bad boy.
We just received our order. One of each variety, plus a box for the troops. Enjoying my shortbreads right now. They taste like… liberty.
Suck it, Bob Morris!
We bought 20 boxes from our lovely nieces. : )
“This is the problem with the idiots in the Republican party: they get their news from email chains. ” – THAT was brilliant. Made my coffee shoot right out my nose.
