So lets put the shoe on the other foot shall we. Suppose American Girl donated that same $50,000.00 to Malcom X's org. on the premise that it would be earmarked for the "Good work" they do, would you feel the same then? Or let's suppose they donated to an organization that, for the most part, insisted that Auschwitz was in fact a Jewish lie, however this same group also promoted healthy living. What then?

You see Lesbianism to Christians is what Auschwitz is to Jews. And just like the Jewish people, the Christian people have the same rights to insist that a company that might influence young minds should stay away from promoting something that negatively influences those same young minds. And when they don't, the consumer has every right in the world to Boycott them.

Okay wait wait wait. . .

That is not logical. I said nothing about Girls Inc doing good work or not. They are simply an organization. American Girl is a private company. I said have your boycott, I disagree with it. And I know a lot of other conservatives do too.

Furthermore I am now sitting here shaking -- to compare gays and lesbians to Auschwitz -- OMG -- that is disgusting. That is NOT a valid comparison, and I'm wondering if the only reason now that it was brought up was because I mentioned that I'm Jewish.

That is hateful and disgusting. The Jews did not choose to be gassed, nor did they make a lifestyle choice to be Jewish. Jewish mother, you are a Jew.

I never ever denied your right to boycott. Have fun. But please know there are other conservatives out there who will counter that boycott.

I think what American Girls is doing is reprehensible and totally worthy of boycott, but bringing the Holocaust into the discussion verges on trolling and cheapens the whole discussion.

Lesbianism is to Christianity is what Auschwitz is to Jews?!?

Wow.

I think I get your logic, though.

Lesbians = BAD
Nazis = BAD
Therefore, Lesbians = Nazis

Can we call that the disassociative property of mathematics?
