It seems Krispy Kreme, the company responsible for many an obese figure across our nation, wanted to celebrate our nation’s freedom to choose aour leaders through the election process. They decided last November to give out free donuts on election day. Now they are giving away more free donuts on January 20th, the day Barack Hussein Obama is inaugurated as President. Note the Krispy Kreme press release, and my bolded words, and you’ll figure out why Krispy Kreme is likely to be boycotted by a bunch of fanatic right wingers.

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.

Already some group of right wing Catholics is starting to raise questions about Krispy Kreme’s turn of phrase, according to Pamela Gould of Fredericksburg.com:

But there’s no way to sugar coat it: the Stafford County-based American Life League–an anti-abortion group–found the wording hard to swallow.

On Wednesday, Krispy Kreme announced the Jan. 20 doughnut giveaway under the headline: “Krispy Kreme Celebrates the Freedom of Choice on Inauguration Day.”

The terms “choice” and “freedom of choice” are key ingredients in the lexicon of the abortion debate.

ALL, a Catholic grassroots group dedicated to pro-life issues, was at least willing to consider that some editor’s eyes were glazed over when the company prepared its press release.

. . .

Finally, ALL found the timing of this campaign distasteful–saying it “makes a mockery of a national tragedy”–since Inauguration Day falls two days before the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion.

I think that if the American Life League has their panties in such a bunch that they don’t condone the use of the word “choice” anywhere, then we just ought to take away their voting privileges. Seriously, they are a whole bunch more whacked out about this than it shows in the article, as seen in this ludicrously whiney press release from ALL. What I’m guessing is that they’d have no problem with any promotion if one of their candidates had one. But Barack Obama won this election, so they’re going to whine about anything that honors Obama, even a free donut. Yeah, that’s pitiful. But it surely is not an isolated incident. There’s a Republican Congressman out there whining about Barack Obama using his middle name when he is sworn into office, claiming Obama is employing a double standard or something. This is not just sour grapes, but on a juvenile scale we’ve simply never seen before.

Nutjobs, whack jobs, complete idjits — mark my words they will try to ruin this Barack Obama inaugural in a day or so.
