I'm sure the lefties would be more outraged at children playing "Cowboys and Indians."

Ya' know many times I've said, "when kids start playing N*zis 'n' J*ws, I'll stop bringing up the Indian thing.

To answer your question, you can still buy plenty of cowboy and indian costumes, toys, movies etc. .

I see no difference. Why is one acceptable and the other not? People are 'sick', 'disgusted' by this but I am amused by the irony.

Interestingly enough, "cowboys and indians" usually have the cowboys chasing the indians (bad guys), just as most other chase games have good guys chasing the bad guys, such as "cops and robbers." Might this (cough cough) innocent game of tag be portraying Nazis as the good guys (chaser) and the Jews as the bad guys (chasee)?

Ooooh, I know, how about tribes being chased by slave-traders? Or Christians being chased by Muslims? Or Afrikaaners being chased by Mugabe?
