Code Pink Protests 'Pro-War Propaganda' Toys

(CNSNews.com) - Along with the many seasonal clashes over the display of Christmas trees and religious items, there are disputes over the sale of toys like the G.I. Joe action figure and squirt guns, which the anti-war group Code Pink believes are inappropriate.

Code Pink attracted attention earlier this year for its anti-war protests outside the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. Now, the group is encouraging its members to protest outside stores that sell "war toys." Such items, according to the Code Pink website, "prey on our children with pro-war propaganda disguised as innocent toys." 

Code Pink spokeswoman Jodie Evans told Cybercast News Service that the group was targeting violent video games, toy guns, other make-believe weapons and anything "that encourages violence."

The group provides activists with sticker designs that look like official warning labels and encourages them to place the stickers on toy boxes. "Surgeon General's Warning," one reads, "Violent Toys = Violent Boys."

Another of Code Pink's tactics is to buy up the violent toys and immediately return them to customer service desks, in order to "create long complaint lines, showing other customers (and hopefully you've called the media) why war toys are bad," according to the group's online action guide.

Evans said the group has not received complaints about the shopping disruptions. "When we're doing our actions outside, people -- the moms and dads -- are really supportive," she said. "It doesn't disrupt anybody's shopping."

Code Pink also distributes rewritten holiday songs that attack the war in Iraq, various members of the Bush administration, and what it deems to be violent toys. One song, to the tune of "Jingle Bells," contains these words:

Little kids will learn by what their parents do,
So when you buy their toys, it's really up to you ...
If you buy them guns, you teach them how to kill,
But violence is not a game and we have had our fill. 

Evans said she doesn't know of any studies connecting violent toys to violent boys, but added that "you can extrapolate that when you're taught that that's okay and when those things are given to you, it encourages and indoctrinates a behavior that doesn't necessarily have to be there."

A spokesman for Hasbro, which makes G.I. Joe, Small Soldiers, and Super Soakers toys, did not return calls requesting comment for this article.

APFTE Comment:  These people are the same "Scumbags" that harassed Soldiers and their Families as they were entering and exiting Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. not long ago.  It's been reported that they actually ridiculed some wounded Soldiers as they entered for treatment.  This kind of behavior has removed all credibility from "Code Pink" as far as the APFTE is concerned and placed them in the "Anti-American Scumbag" category.  

The APFTE suggests if these scumbags threateningly block your way or touch you physically, you have every right to protect yourself and your family Members with you at the time by using any means necessary at your disposal.  

I know, if one of them harassed my Wife and Kids entering or leaving a store, that certain scumbag would be heading toward the nearest Emergency Room in a "New York Second..."  

I wouldn't have to do a thing either, my Wife would kick their rear-ends!  She's a Patriot and absolutely hates "Anti-Americans" and their aggressive invasive behavior, especially when she has the Children with her.  Nobody messes with our Kids minds and emotions if she has anything to say about it.  

These  Code Pink Scumbags have picked on wounded American Soldiers and are now picking on Parents with Children entering stores doing their Christmas Shopping... it's time "Normal Americans" taught them a lesson they won't forget.  

Don't mess with Wounded American Soldiers and don't scare Children and Mothers in front of stores...  "Code Pink" may just have a different meaning for these "Aggressive Scumbags" if it's changed to "Code Red" instead!

In Closing, If Code Pink thinks "Violent Toys = Violent Boys", we have to wonder what kind of toys they played with that made them "Anti-American Commies"... maybe those toys should be taken off the market to avoid cultivating any more "Code Pink" type Scumbags.
