I hope they broadcast this game on TV, I'd love to see it.

Don't see any "Peace Freak Joes" around do you? 'Nuff said

From the article:
"Another one of the anti-choice groups is called Women Against Military Madness."

Here's some background info on that organization.

the Minnesota Twins are giving G.I. Joe action figures to 5,000 children.

too cool

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

Heh. I believe these groups are merely a front for a much more sinister force. We all know who's really out to get G.I. Joe...Cobra!

Eat this, hippie scum! GO JOE!

Local talk radio has been discussing this story for most of the day. This is a great opportunity for an organization like the NRA or even (whispers) FreeRepublic to make some promotional hay at the expense of the peaceniks.

My idea? Simply purchase 5,000 of the same GI Joe dolla (or ask Hasbro for the guns they stripped from the action figures they're sending to the Twins), remove the nasty old plastic 1" guns from each plastic Duke doppelganger's deathgrip, package each gun along with appropriate literature, then give them away at the ballgame to every kid who got the stripped-down action figure. Advertise the package as a "GI Joe Completion Kit". Drive the limp-wrists crazy, all for the cost of a few toys and some sweat equity.

"It's not a credible way to honor those who've suffered the inhumanity of war," moaned Phil Steger, executive director of something called Friends for a Non-Violent World.

What do these people want, then? An action figure of Saddam Hussein complete with miniature but fully functional plastic shredder and electric cattle prod?

Never, but NEVER, have I heard ANY so-called "pacifist" denounce the REAL dictators of this world, past and present.
