The Minnesota Twins organization wants to have a give-away for the kids that has the collective panties of the area's Peaceniks in a bunch.
Seems these ardent activists feel that giving away GI Joe dolls at the game is sending the wrong message to these young, impressionable, potential followers of Appeasement.
"It's not a credible way to honor those who've suffered the inhumanity of war," said Phil Steger, executive director of Friends for a Non-Violent World, a St. Paul-based group with about 4,000 members in Minnesota.
No, it's not right to give little soldiers to little kids to remind them of the brave men and women who unjustly liberated several million people who had suffered the inhumanity of a thirty year dictatorship. Lord only knows we don't want the kids to know anything about that!
"We're sorry that a small number of Minnesotans are offended by the doll and don't see it as the tribute that it really is," said Col. Denny Shields, a spokesman for the Guard.
Well, we're sorry too, Col. Shields. I am just tickled pink that the Twins organization is going to stand up to these people.
