#1 But groups such as Veterans for Peace , Friends for a Non-Violent World and Women Against Military Madness object to the giveaway and are asking the Twins to cancel it.

Tough shit. It's their promotion, and they can do as they please.

#3 The Twins suck, but I grew up on GI Joe and GI Joe RULES! I'd go to the game just to piss off the peaceniks.

#4 The filthy anti-war wankers have their own dolls 'Pete the Protester' and 'Liberal Larry'. Pete comes with unwashed hippy hair and a 'nuke me' protest sign. (There was a goof up at the doll plant, the sign should have read. 'Kerry for King in 04')

'Liberal Larry' can not hold a sign since he is already holding a bag full of drugs.

#7 Dude, I would definitely buy a "Pete the Protestor" or "Liberal Larry" doll. Gotta have someone for the GI Joes to beat the crap out of in bar fights.

#10
I expect that the Twins appreciate the free advertising that the protests provide. I bet that the membership of all those groups includes a maximum of 20 Twins fans and possibly two season ticket holders.

Note: I predict that both lefty-kook season ticket holders will burn their remaining tickets at the rally ... and then be sighted sitting in their regular seats the following weekend. John Kerry has created a hold new genre of protest: the sham photo-op.
