This is graphically presented in a way to scare right-wingers but it's a big fail on their part. They say words like 'abortion', 'sex education', 'feminist', 'gay and lesbian rights', 'planned parenthood', etc., as if they were bad things when in fact they are not. They are actually good things that make this a better world.

K&R for the Girl Scout cookies!!! I never bother with the boy scouts here, way too evil IMO. n/t RKP5637 Jan 2013 #3

And you post this without any comment refuting rw tripe? Lars39 Jan 2013 #4

Are refuting comments even necessary with this? WilliamPitt Jan 2013 #8

Yes, I think they are....there were specifics given in that chart that should be disclaimed loudly. Lars39 Jan 2013 #10

agreed Euphoria Jan 2013 #14

Hmm? a2liberal Jan 2013 #80

Uhm. Did you even read it? Politicub Jan 2013 #53

Did you? The language in it slants right wing. Lars39 Jan 2013 #111

Seems obvious to me that the OP is promoting purchase of Girl Scout cookies MH1 Jan 2013 #125

Presenting this right wing chart as fact does not go very far to "each one teach one", Lars39 Jan 2013 #129

Do you support what you posted?? Angry Dragon Jan 2013 #9

This is from a conservative page, but it will definitely make me want to buy more Girl Scout Cookies Playinghardball Jan 2013 #15

So why bring a negative thing from a conservative source here? Lars39 Jan 2013 #21

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..................... Isoldeblue Jan 2013 #33

I'm all for that strategy, but it should be labelled as such and not just silently presented. Lars39 Jan 2013 #34

Well, that's life...... Isoldeblue Jan 2013 #35

Sigh....Times they are a changin'....this site used to pride itself on its sourcing. Lars39 Jan 2013 #36

Sad, isn't it? "Consider the source" is not just a trite saying; it's actually important Hekate Jan 2013 #127

Not everyone on this thread saw it positively. Lars39 Jan 2013 #155

irony and sarcasm are lost on you. TeamPooka Jan 2013 #161

I see a lot of things. Lars39 Jan 2013 #162

I see nothing negative about it. Scruffy Rumbler Jan 2013 #175

It is written with right wing language and accusatory tone. Lars39 Jan 2013 #180

Why didnt you comment in the OP? nm rhett o rick Jan 2013 #23

Just looking at the image... It is written in a highly biased manner. TheBlackAdder Jan 2013 #11
