Indiana lawmaker stands by view of Girl Scouts

[Cali_Democrat]

Morris calls group a radical organization promoting abortion and homosexuality

February 22, 2012|By Rene Lynch, Tribune Newspapers
Bob Morris isn't backing down.

Despite ridicule even from within his party, the freshman state representative from Indiana is standing by comments labeling Girl Scouts of the USA a radical organization that promotes homosexuality and abortion and is out to destroy American values.

"My family and I took a view and we're sticking by it," the Republican told The Associated Press, adding that his daughters are members of a group for conservative Christian girls. "My girls are no longer Girl Scouts. They're now going to join American Heritage Girls."

Morris said he made his conclusions after talking to constituents and conducting "a small amount of Web-based research." He said the discussion and research led to his conclusions that the Girl Scouts encourage sexual activity, are a front for Planned Parenthood and that Scouts are encouraged to look up to role models who endorse feminist, lesbian and communist agendas.

He also noted a Colorado troop's decision to allow a transgender boy to join.

1. When you're in a hole, sometimes it's easier to keep digging. nt

10. Oh yeah. You see a lot of that.

People take a stand and then ever after they figure out it is a dog, they keep defending it. As if the defense somehow justifies the ridiculousness of the original position.

2. Proof positive that Neanderthals still live among us

I'm sure bright, shiny objects must fascinate him and can hold his attention for hours.

[Angry Dragon]

3. He should be forced to prove his statements

5. Psycho. I predict he'll be caught fondling a poodle inappropriately. nt

[lumpy]

6. Mr. Applecheeks needs to pluck his eyebrows.

That's the only thing about him that impresses me.

7. This guy reminds me of

in a suit but a lot more dangerous.

[Initech]

8. He looks like a Ted Haggard wannabe.

13. 'Zactly. What's in his closet? n/t

[nobodyspecial]

9. "a small amount of Web-based research."

Hahaha. Someone sent him a RW smear and he believed it. I wonder if he's also fallen for Nigerian scams.

And notice how he said that his girls are going to join the other group. My guess is that there isn't even a group in his area.

11. "Girl Scouts: radical organization"

I am so disgusted over this. The ignorance of someone in this high of office. It boggles the mind. I can only shake my head and wonder what this guy was forced to eat as a Child. What ever it was, there must have been a lot of lead paint chips in it.

[asjr]

12. I note that he is a "freshman state rep." What is

it with these types. It has been evident the freshies in Washington came in with the same attitudes. They are constantly trying to pump up themselves. He needs to be kicked out now before he shames the entire state of Indiana as well as his family.

14. "My family and I took a view and we're sticking by it..." Are you sure Bob?

Sure it isn't:

"I took a view and my family has to stick by it." ????

I seriously doubt that your daughters were clamoring to leave the Girl Scouts.

[HopeHoops]

15. Looks like a pervert to me.

[LeftinOH]

16. "Web-based research", huh? Let's look at his hard drive and see what

shows up. Seriously- he needs to show what his "research" involved.

[bongbong]

17. American Heritage Girls?

Knowing the lengthy record of repigs and/or religionists & pedophilia, I'm going to assume that the leadership of that organization is a cesspool.

[workinclasszero]

18. He looks like a knuckle dragging teabagger

There is no hope for this country with these radical right wing lunatics in politics!

[DisgustipatedinCA]

19. 80% chance that Rep Dumbass will apologize by tomorrow afternoon

He just hasn't discovered yet the punch that the Internet can pack when it's focused on one individual.

[COLGATE4]

20. Looking at that photo

I wouldn't let him get within 100 yards of any Girl Scout. "Sit on my lap, little girl??"

[hifiguy]

24. LOL!

Ain't that the truth!

[mick063]

21. This is how you convert youth to "your" side.

Enourage them to join "our" organization. Heck, it is better yet to force them to join.

Hitler Youth Facts

In 1936, the total number of boys and girls registered as Hitler Youths was 4 million
By 1938, attendence was barely 25%, thus making it nessecary to have an attendence law


With this current batch of lunatics, they won't just stop at encouraging.
Attendance to Heritage camp will be mandatory.

22. Wow, the Woollybear Festival came early. Oh wait . . .

"He also noted a Colorado troop's decision to allow a transgender boy to join."
