Okay. I already have a very low tolerance for religious assholeism and right-wing lunacy, but this completely takes the cake. Or the donut, in this case.

From the Miami New Times Riptide 2.0 Blogs:

Krispy Kreme, being the genial purveyor of glazed goodness that it is, decided to get in on the Obama inauguration craze and is offering one free doughnut to every costumer on January 20, Inauguration day, and released this seemingly innocuous press release:

"Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (NYSE: KKD) is honoring American's sense of pride and freedom of choice on Inauguration Day, by offering a free doughnut of choice to every customer on this historic day, Jan. 20. By doing so, participating Krispy Kreme stores nationwide are making an oath to tasty goodies -- just another reminder of how oh-so-sweet 'free' can be."

Well, The American Life League noticed the liberal use of the word choice and decided to blast the chain bakery for producing abortion doughnuts.

"The unfortunate reality of a post-Roe v. Wade America is that 'choice' is synonymous with abortion access, and celebration of 'freedom of choice' is a tacit endorsement of abortion rights on demand," the group's president, Judie Brown said in a statement.


Hit the link for the full impact of this bullshit.

This idiocy keep on growing, getting more and more insane with every breath these sick people inhale. These folk who have grown to be such reactionary dumbasses should have been aborted in their third trimester in a fire. Seriously, these people are beyond sick, and should be rounded up and corralled in insane asylums. This kind of thinking has no place in a sane human race.

For the record, I am against abortion. However, I think it must remain an available, legal option. No irony is lost on these people, as most often once the fetus comes full term, their salivating desire for the death penalty awaits, not to mention all other manner of disregard for human life.

As you can tell, I am pretty much seething at these fuckwads. I tempered it somewhat by picking up a half dozen Krispy Kremes at the store. I will relish each one, After all, each donut is holey and sacred.

It needs to become publically acceptable to tell people like Judie Brown "You are insane. Shut up and go away."

I am so with you on this, saw the link here on LJ yesterday.

While I don't think all of these religious zealots are crackpots, some of them like Julie Brown leave me to believe she may be delusional at best.

Damn...I thought I was the only one.....

Is there anything these insane folks won't do for publicity?

Choice equals abortion? What have the wingnuts copyrighted the word? Tt's just a sign that they are losing their war on modern society the more outrageous their antics become.

Coffee and doughnuts is one Sacrament. I prefer pizza and beer.

Forgive me sounding a tad cynical, but even you know that Krispy Kreme is less interested in the Inauguration than they are in just getting people into their stores. If the cost of this advertising strategy is less than the increase in profit, they will consider it money well-spent.

Isn't that the purpose of advertisement? The only way they would be completely issue-free would be to randomly distribute donuts in logo-free garb.

Enjoy your donut and don't over-think it. :-)

That is completely fucked up. COMPLETELY.

Remember how Rachel Ray was a terrorist because she wore a scarf? Puh-leese.

Hold on..... are they saying that donut=abortion such that by extension accepting/buyin/eating a donut, pehaps only when 'free', is akin to supporting abortion in ??? If so I soooo would like all the people who DONT support abortion but who want a free donut to SIMPLY HAVE A DONUT to maybe hurl a brick or stone like object at JB and tell her to take her head out from where the sun dont shine and THINK before she opens her mouth! Oh dear, I will get off my ickle soapbox now, ahem
