Texas RWers boycott of Girl Scout cookies fails - Bwahahahah, what fools!
Girl Scout Cookie Sales Are Going Well Despite The Controversial Call For A Boycott
Stephanie Serna

This year's annual Girl Scout cookie sale is going well, despite, or perhaps because of calls for a boycott over the local council's sponsorship of Planned Parenthood's "Nobody's Fool Conference" and the groups? decision to honor Planned Parenthood's executive director.

"We're pleased to report that the cookie sales have been going very well. All the media attention has definitely put us in the spotlight and those that are very much in support of girl scouts and want to show their support of girl scouts, have been going out of their way to find out where they can purchase cookies, " says local Girl Scouts Executive Director Beth Vivio.

Vivio says some residents are dropping by the scout office to place orders-- something that's never happened before.

And some regular cookie buyers are doubling their orders.

2. Idiots
I don't know where to begin with this, it's just wrong on so many different levels. Little girls striving to be better citizens and assholes on the right want to punish them with a boycott? I'll add this to my long list of reasons for hating right-wingers.

4. But its such a conservative thing to do
"Let's see, I am a loudmouthed asshole who is trying to push my borderline fascist agenda. I need to shout somebody down, just berate them and walk all over them. But, I am a spineless coward. So who can I bully?

I know!

The girl scouts!

Maybe after I am done with that I will go kick my mother down the stairs!

That will show the world how tough I am!"

3. This is kind of like what happened with the Dixie Chicks
I never really used to listen to them, but after the mess last year I borrowed their album "Home" from a friend of mine, and after hearing it went out and bought it. I played the album for some friends, and many of them went and bought it.
