IS A PRE-EMPTIVE ATTACK ON BARBIE NEXT?


NEW YORK - American Girl, manufacturer of a highly popular line of dolls and children's books, has become the target of conservative activists threatening a boycott unless the toy maker cuts off contributions to a youth organization that supports abortion rights and acceptance of lesbians.

THE RIDICULOUS REV DONALD WILDMON AND HIS HORDE are advocating a boycott of a toy company because that company supports Girls, Inc, a group that deal in education and empowerment of young women. The group sells wrist bands that read, "I can" and that are designed to inspire girls to be smart, strong and bold.

The Mississippi-based American Family Association, in a campaign launched Wednesday, is urging its members to demand that American Girl halt support for Girls Inc., which it called "a pro-abortion, pro-lesbian advocacy group."

Dontcha just love how Wildmon ands his gaggle never once attacked Barbie for living in sin with Ken or against GI Joe for hangin' out only with guys. "Donald Wildmon....what a marine!!!!!" or is that maroon?
