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.

Somebody has too much time on their hands.

I think that it's nice that Krispy Kreme gives a choice. Glazed donuts are nice, but I would much prefer a creme filled donut.

It's highly suspicious their stock symbol is one letter away from KKK.

I don't normally do this, but I think I need to make a point of picking up some Krispy Kreme doughnuts this week. --Bob

There is far too much effort wasted by people on both ends of the political spectrum to try to infer some sinister hidden meaning in common sayings and writings.

People who actually do mean to make a political statement have no difficulty doing so in such terms that no one misunderstands them.

Clearly.

Dammit, Bob,now I can't get that Devo song out of my head.

"Somebody" should have had more sleep before deciding to make that protest.

I am sure that even members of the anti choice movement are hiding in shame from that today.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Context is clear. Press release had nothing to do with abortion and had everything to do with be a free society with free and open elections.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Someone made a mistake making a jump like that.
