Some people have WAY too much time on their hands...Follow

They should have said something about Burger King's "Have it your way" campaign giving a freedom of choice to it's customers too!

It's obviously just because it's a Democrat president beings sworn in, and not the words.

Had they been swearing in McCain, Krispy Kreme could have said "We are being giving you the pro choice in donuts, for free!" and Judie Brown would have been first in line to praise them on Tuesday morning.

They must live in a totally different reality than the rest of us.

Do it!

For maximum freakout effect, decorate the donuts with condoms.

Meh, it's just an excuse on the abortion folks part to get some press time.

I absolutely ******* hate people like that. People who go out their way to argue with everything ******* possible.

Do us a favour and shut the **** up.

Did any of you read the story about England's prince harry calling some indian/pakistani/asian guy a "paki"?
It's an absolute load of ******* rubbish.

His nickname among them was "paki", derrogatory sure, but if it's between friends then what's the problem? If he didn't like it why not say "guys, dont call me that" or whatever, why wait untill his parents or some guy flags it and calls up the media befor going "uh y-yeah, i was really offended and ****. give me money".
People are blowing it out of proportion in the papers and now his familly are sueing him. The attraction of media and money is more weighty than friendship and decency apparanrly.

I personally have no view on the comment passed, but I do have a view on milking that **** for as much as possible in the media - stop it, literally.

**** the media. don't even get me started on Maddie McCann. The lost her, fine. I found her. She was on the front page of the Daily Mail newspaper. Every day. For about 5 months.

All hail "Freedom of Selection"!

A runny filling.

You know, not all conservatives are bad. In england we're actually intelligent.

Sure, just intellectually incurious.

Precisely old boy.

brb, off shooting.

I think they should all make up over a delicious batch of home-made cookies .

I've got a doughnut holder in my pants.

Sure. But can you honestly say that had say starbucks chosen to honor Bush's 2004 presidential win with free coffee that a zillion liberal groups wouldn't have argued that they were supporting a president who trampled on civil liberties and got us into an illegal war?

It also happened to be a poor choice of words and context. Some of you are probably unaware, but the Catholic Church (and likely others) are organizing a petition thingie to various members of the Senate and House to show opposition to the "Freedom of Choice Act". One of the key points is that Obama has promised to sign this if Congress passes it (which is made all the more likely now than it was 4 years ago when initially proposed). In case you don't know what it's about or why an organization associated with the Church might care, the Act itself recognizes an inherent "right" to an abortion and would make a whole host of state abortion laws illegal (well beyond the guidelines in Roe v. Wade btw).


So a public statement honoring the inauguration of a president who's promised to sign an Act titled "Freedom of Choice" with a statement about America's freedom of choice, is likely to get some kind of backlash. Yes. It's obvious they were talking about people choosing to elect Obama. But it's politics. If they can use this as an opportunity to raise awareness about the Act, then they're going to take it, right?


They don't care if the relationship is tenuous. They want people to be aware of the Acts existence. The media coverage helps them with this, so the more absurd the better...
