ISBL's Asshat of the Week: Representative Bob Morris

Representative Bob Morris, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, is refusing to sign on to a resolution to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts because he believes it is a "radicalized organization" that supports abortion and promotes the "homosexual lifestyle."
::::foot stomp    head snap::::::
Morris sent a letter to his fellow House Republicans last week to explain why he is the only member in the House not to endorse the resolution.
For Girl Scouts.
Morris, when not checking porn sites, explored the web, he says, and found allegations that the Girl Scouts are a tactical arm of Planned Parenthood, that they :::gasp:::: allow transgender females to join and that the Girl Scouts, when not selling cookies, encourage sex.
But then Morris, who puts the delusional in "delusional fuck"--hell, he puts the fuck in there, too--also said the fact that First Lady Michelle Obama is an honorary president of the Girl Scouts "should give each of us reason to pause before our individual and collective endorsement of the organization."

Bob Morris: "I challenge each of you to examine these matters more closely before you extend your name and your reputation to endorse a group that has been subverted in the name of liberal progressive politics and the destruction of traditional American family values."
It's funny, and sad, and totally GOP, in a way, because Morris' own daughters had once been Girl Scouts, but he makes it clear that his girls belonged to a troop where the leaders shared the same values.
You know, right-wing, Christianist, judgemental, condemning, intolerant, bigoted. Those kinds of views.
Morris said several House members will be taking their names off the resolution, although he couldn't name one, while Ashley Sharp, assistant director of marketing for the Girl Scouts, said the group heard of Morris' concerns, and noted that there are websites dedicated to "exposing" the organization. 
But, she added, "It really hasn't affected us. Our membership is still strong and our cookie sales are up from last year."
Buy cookies.
Buy cookies and send them to Bob Morris.
Morris needs a Thin Mint and a nap.
And to win the ISBL Asshat Of The Week award.
