Want to piss off a rightwinger?? Buy Girl Scout cookies!! I know -- Girl Scout Cookies are overpriced and loaded with sugar and fat but the simple act of buying a box or a dozen boxes is guaranteed to piss of a rightwinger or two.
Why?
For the past several years, conservative groups have urged their members not to touch the cookies, warning that doing so will support communism, abortion and homosexual indoctrination. The Girl Scouts’ right-wing detractors commonly cite the discredited myth that the group is funding Planned Parenthood, and the even stranger that it is turning children into lesbian, socialist activists.
. . .
Here are the three wildest claims that right-wing activists make about the girls’ empowerment organization:
1) Girl Scouts Push ‘Lesbianism’ On Children!
2) Girl Scouts Promote Abortion And ‘Promoscuity’!
3) Girl Scouts Commit ‘Child Abuse’ By Accepting Transgender Girls!

I just polished off my first box of Do-Si-Do's and am now attacking a box of Trefoils!!!
