Cake request for 3-year-old Hitler namesake denied (ShopRite says no-Walmart says yes)

[underpants]

Source: AP

EASTON, Pa. (AP) — The father of 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell, denied a birthday cake with the child's full name on it by one New Jersey supermarket, is asking for a little tolerance. Heath Campbell and his wife, Deborah, are upset not only with the decision made by the Greenwich ShopRite, but with an outpouring of angry Internet postings in response to a local newspaper article over the weekend on their flare-up over frosting.

"I think people need to take their heads out of the cloud they've been in and start focusing on the future and not on the past," Heath Campbell said Tuesday in an interview conducted in Easton, on the other side of the Delaware River from where the family lives in Hunterdon County, N.J.

"There's a new president and he says it's time for a change; well, then it's time for a change," the 35-year-old continued. "They need to accept a name. A name's a name. The kid isn't going to grow up and do what (Hitler) did."

The Campbells ultimately got their cake decorated at a Wal-Mart in Pennsylvania, Deborah Campbell said. About 12 people attended the birthday party on Sunday, including several children who were of mixed race, according to Heath Campbell.

"If we're so racist, then why would I have them come into my home?" he asked.

The Campbells' other two children also have unusual names: JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell turns 2 in a few months and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell will be 1 in April.

Deborah and her husband Heath attempted to by a birthday cake for their son at a near by ShopRite supermarket in Greenwich, N.J. and were told that the store would not inscribe Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler on the cake. The Campbell's also have two daughters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie.

1. Man, and people get down on me because I want to name my first born son Otto. n/t

[NBachers]

54. Hey wait a minnit

Otto's been my nickname since high school. I love that name. My mother-in-law decided to name our dog Otto also, and Otto was the best dog anyone could ever hope for. Otto's a great name.

[Mojambo]

56. I think so too! But everyone cringes when I bring it up. n/t

[KittyWampus]

89. I fully support the nomination of "Otto" for your first born.

Unless it's a girl

[mooseandsquirrel]

108. My late father was named Otto

m&s

[surrealAmerican]

97. Any name that's a palindrome is fine by me.

If it's a girl, will she be "Hannah"?

[chatnoir]

101. I've always loved Otto - very cool name. :)

[kdmorris]

152. Otto is a wonderful name

My Uncle Otto was one of the coolest people ever! I spent a month with him and my Aunt Darlene during the summer between my Freshman and Sophomore year of high school. He had such a great sense of humor and a work ethic that I couldn't match. I loved that man dearly.

Sadly, he passed away in 1999. But I will never forget that summer.

Thanks for taking me for a walk down memory lane, bittersweet as it might be!

To my Uncle Otto!!

2. UPDATE-this was the third Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler cake that Walmart has made

Holland Township man names son after Adolf Hitler
http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/warren-county/index.ssf...

Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman, said the grocer tries to meet customer requests but rejects those deemed inappropriate. "We believe the request to inscribe a birthday wish to Adolf Hitler is inappropriate," she said.

The grocer offered to make a cake with enough room for the Campbells to write their own inscription. But the Campbells refused, saying they would have a cake made at the Wal-Mart in Lower Nazareth Township. The Campbells say Wal-Mart made cakes for Adolf's first two birthdays.

A spokeswoman for Wal-Mart said the store won't put anything illegal or profane on a cake but thinks it's important to respect the views of customers and employees.

"Our No. 1 priority in decorating cakes is to serve the customer to the best of our ability," Anna Taylor, the spokeswoman, said from Bentonville, Ark.

[underpants]

4. UPDATE2-have swatiskas in each room of their house, expect no problems with names at school

The Campbells have swastikas in each room of their home, the rented half of a one-story duplex just outside Milford, a borough in Hunterdon County. They say they aren't racists but believe races shouldn't mix.

The Campbells said they wanted their children to have unique names and didn't expect the names to cause problems. Despite the cake refusal, the Campbells said they don't expect the names to cause problems later, such as when the children start school.

[pacalo]

25. They didn't expect the names to cause problems?! Reminds me of this woman's mentality...

[frylock]

27. plate of shrimp..

i was thinking about that woman today for some reason. weird.

[pacalo]

28. That's a classic.

[lumberjack_jeff]

96. It's the cosmic unconsciousness, man. n/t

[Qanisqineq]

33. omg, I've never seen that before

I wonder if there were a lot of letters to the editor or letters to her after this picture appeared in the paper.

[pacalo]

44. So do I. The photo never fails to make me laugh when I see it.

[No Elephants]

65. Not funny. An actual living being is in her nicotine filled womb.

[pacalo]

115. Oh well, not everyone is going to see the irony.

Especially after the last 8 years of it.

[davidinalameda]

45. I just got it

the cigarette

it's cold here; I'm a bit slow

[pacalo]

51. I used a smaller-sized photo originally & changed to a larger because of that.

It doesn't make any sense if you can't see the cigarette.

That she's oblivious to the irony is what's so funny. What's so sad is that she might possibly vote in elections.

[davidinalameda]

124. what's even more sad is that she's reproducing

[underpants]

57. I used to have that pic up on a bulletin board in my office

adding to the joke itself is that my wife's family is from Roanoke which made it doubley funny (but not any less sad)

When we were deciding on names for our daughter (before we knew the sex even) every name had to pass the "playground rule"-that being that we sat and thought about any potential twisting of the name that kids might do. The potential "John Jacob" was tossed (my wife had never heard it) because of the John Jacob Jingleheimerschmidt song. Being around parents of kids generally our daughter's age I hear girls with names all the time that make me cringe-did they really give their daughter a stripper name? crosses my mind often. Adolf Hitler or even Adolf is not even in the realm of possibility.

[pacalo]

116. Interesting about the Roanoke connection!

Contrary to the ignorance I've witnessed from reading the North vs. South threads, idiots aren't exclusive to just one area -- they're everywhere -- & I present this photo as Exhibit B; Exhibit A is in the OP's post.

[No Elephants]

68. Somehow, I get the feeling they will home school.

[underpants]

11. UPDATE4- Both are on Social Security due to "disablities"

Disabilities, the couple says, have left both out of work: Heath Campbell can't landscape or pump gas because he has emphysema, and Deborah can't waitress because she has a bad back. They live on Social Security payments.

these are the only options?

In the foyer, Heath Campbell, who said he has German ancestry and a relative who fought for the SS, took off boots he said were worn by a Nazi solider named Daniel.

He laid them next to a skull with a swastika on its forehead, the first of dozens of swastikas seen by the Campbells' rare guests.

There are swastikas on walls, on jackets, on the freezer and on a pillow. The family car had swastikas, Heath Campbell said, until New Jersey's Department of Children and Families told him they could endanger the children.

The swastikas, Heath Campbell said, are symbols of peace and balance. He considers them art.

http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/warren-county/index.ssf...

[DoctorMyEyes]

17. Shocking!

I'm shocked I tell ya - shocked! Both "disabled"... in their early 20s... popping out a kid a year... no doubt opposed to "welfare" and "socialized medicine", etc, etc, etc...

oh, and they're being discriminated against! Shocked!

[thesquanderer]

35. Disabled??

And gee, you know how much Adolph Hitler loved the infirm...

[underpants]

60. Cain't pump gas cain't cut grass

Was a guy 'sposed ta do?

[lumberjack_jeff]

99. Here's what Adolph the elder thought of the disabled.

Paraphrased, the poster says "This fellow costs 60,000 reichmarks of YOUR MONEY each year. Support the Nazi party."

[gorbal]

123. I wonder if they heard of Hilters "Euthanasia" program

You know, the one that killed over 200,000 people without the knowledge and consent of them and their families?

http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/article.php?lang=en&ModuleId=1...

[No Elephants]

67. He considers them art. Of course I believe that his motives are artistic. Of course I do.

[No Elephants]

69. What's that saying about the Devil finding work for idle hands?

[Le Taz Hot]

77. OK, wait.

SHE'S on disability because she has a bad back? I'm not a parent but, correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't popping out babies and chasing them around (toddlers) and having to pick them up, over and over throughout the day, constitute a considerable amount of strain on your back?

This drives me crazy, I know SO many people on disability that are obviously scamming the system and don't really need it and SO many people who can't get it that SHOULD get it.

[Ms. Toad]

111. No comment on whether this particular woman is disabled

...but there are a large variety of bad backs.

I received a partial permanent disability settlement from worker's comp because of an injury to my back in 1985 - and I could pop out babies, chase them around, and pick them up until the cows came home (or - as I regularly do - carry 50 lbs of scuba gear on my back, or an 80 lb bag of salt from my car trunk to the softener).

What I can't do is hold a 5 lb bag of flour at arms length, or sit in any chair designed as a stackable chair for longer than 15 minutes. If I do something either of those (or something else that aggravates my back), do not immediately take medication (which is both emotionally and physically depressing) and stay flat on my back for a number of days until the spasm has passed I am in a world of hurt for months. For a long time, I avoided taking care of myself because of the ugly stares I received from people who thought I was faking it when I asked for a special chair at conferences (or sat on the floor), because it didn't look like - and I didn't move like - anything was wrong with me.

Now I have made peace with people giving me dirty looks because I have come to realize that the consequences of pretending to be normal to avoid embarrassment are far worse than the temporary feelings associated with being looked at as if I am the scum of the earth. But it would be a lot easier if people remembered that a lot of disabilities - including some back injuries - are invisible. Just because someone can do things you would not expect them to be able to do based on what you perceive someone with a "bad back" should be able to do doesn't necessarily mean that they are scamming the system. In retrospect, the payment I received was far too little compensation for the 30 + years of pain I have endured since then or the 30 + years of pain I still (with any luck) have to look forward to.

[TechBear_Seattle]

30. Why am I not surprised? n/t

[silverojo]

52. Wal-Mart will do just about anything to make a buck

Either that, or their employees are so stupid, they don't even know who Adolf Hitler was. Having dealt with Wal-Mart morons in the past, that's not such a far-fetched possibility.

[underpants]

72. Bingo

[surrealAmerican]

98. It's not that their employees are stupid, it's that they're not ...

... permitted to use their own judgment. Corporate policy, you know.

[stlsaxman]

122. zey ah jest followink ordas, Mien Herr...

"Hiel, unt welcommen du ValMacht!"

[LiberalHeart]

118. You mean like not punish a kid for what its parents named him?

[Mrs. Ted Nancy]

151. My favorite wal-mart cake

badly decorated cake

[Crunchy Frog]

86. What would they do if the kid was named "Oral Sex"?

[dbonds]

3. They make a political/racist statement with the kids names then expect it to be accepted?

That should be considered child abuse to do that to kids.

[underpants]

8. UPDATE3-from another longer article on it

The Campbells said they wanted their children to have unique names and didn't expect the names to cause problems. Despite the cake refusal, the Campbells said they don't expect the names to cause problems later, such as when the children start school.

Robert M. Gordon, a clinical psychologist in Allentown, said the names would hurt the children.

"Certainly society is going to be hostile towards those kids, especially when they go to school," Gordon said.

More than that, he said, the children would be harmed by their parents' views.

"By the time they get to school, they will already have been damaged," Gordon said. "Any parent that would impose such horrific names on their children is mentally ill, and they would be affecting their children from the day they were born. Only a crazy person would do that."

[BattyDem]

20. "The Campbells said they wanted their children to have unique names"

Unique? UNIQUE?!? Naming your child after a man who murdered millions of people is not "unique" - it's horrible!

[underpants]

58. .

When we were deciding on names for our daughter (before we knew the sex even) every name had to pass the "playground rule"-that being that we sat and thought about any potential twisting of the name that kids might do.

Adolf Hitler or even Adolf is not even in the realm of possibility.

[Bhaisahab]

71. Unique?

"JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell" is not a unique name. It's stupider than George Bush's farts.

Aryan Nation? Can't get over it.

[Strawman]

103. This poor child

This is so wrong. What terrible parents.

[ogneopasno]

5. Those poor kids. I hope they grow up OK, despite it all.

6. Sadly, you can't choose your parents.

I'll look forward to seeing how this story turns out twenty years from now.

[msanthrope]

83. I'm betting at least one of the kids will have a collection of

relatives and hitchhikers buried in the cellar.....

[DoctorMyEyes]

7. Dad looks like Joe Dirt

and the plea for tolerance cracks me up. Like the kid was born with the name and nobody picked it for any particular reason. Borders on fucking child abuse - the names they've given those kids.

[flvegan]

9. What superb parents, marring their kids for life

or until legal age to change their names.

[Hardrada]

10. There was a Confederate general named States Rights Gist.

I guess that might come back too up in Alaska!

[RoyGBiv]

14. Who was born in Union, SC ...

Go figure.

[Hardrada]

22. I didn't know that and I even have a book about him

which obviously I haven't read yet.

[Double T]

13. LOFL!! What a fucked up world!! This poor kid is going to have..........

one hell of a time when he goes to school. Oh well, at least freedom of speech and names still stands a wal-mart!!

[dansolo]

154. More likely the kid will be a bully

I don't see the kid being picked on. If his parents are any indication, I suspect he will be picking on the weaker kids from the first day he shows up to school.

[Orrex]

15. We were going to name our first kid Pol Pot

But we changed our minds when we realized that he'd have to deal with a lot of marijuana jokes in high school.

[madinmaryland]

24. Jeebus, there are a brazilian folk named that!

[PeaceNikki]

16. Jesus Fucking Christ!!

* I'm expressing shock, not naming my next child.

[KSinTX]

50. Just give your unnamed kid

a gift certificate - redeemable for a new name upon reaching his/her fifth birthday.

[sofa king]

141. One of the funniest jokes I ever saw on the Internet:

"I was nine years old before I learned that my name was not 'JESUS FUCKING CHRIST Mary.'"

[BrklynLiberal]

18. Riiiiiiight.. These guys are not white supremacists....

I guess the kids will be hanging out only with the kids of other white supremacists so no one will think the names are odd.

How does this kind of behavior NOT fall into the category of either child abuse or insanity?

[underpants]

19. Yeah they just name their kids after Nazis, dad wears Nazi boots, and

well if you haven't read the longer article on the UPDATE posts

New Jersey Social Services had to TELL THEM to take the swatiska off the family car

[BrklynLiberal]

21. Like I said..this is either insanity, child abuse, or both.

[mbperrin]

132. AND keep skulls around the house with the swastika on them, too.

Why haven't these children already been removed?

[GReedDiamond]

23. The phrase "Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler"...

...has a whole kinda quasi-Mel Brooks-ish movie title/idea thingy goin' on...hmmm.

Question: Is it true that, instead of using three birthday candles, the Campbells are using three burning crosses in honor of that little scamp Adolf's Third (Reich) b-day?

[Hardrada]

26. There was some pro wrestler some years back who changed

his name to Sir Adolf Hitler. I don't think this made him any more successful.

[RaleighNCDUer]

88. Yeah, but he knew he was playing the villian in the ring.

That's show business, not life.

[davidthegnome]

29. If it had been me working at Wallmart

I'd rather have lost my job than written happy birthday wishes for someone with that name. Poor kid, having to grow up with a couple of screws like that.

[RaleighNCDUer]

90. The parents are just hoping for the day that some offended employee

say, "No only NO, but FUCK NO" to their request, at which point they sue the company for a couple million and do whatever racists do when they don't have to work anymore.

[mbperrin]

133. They're already not working anymore. Disabled, doncha know?

Wow. And we've got a 78 year old renter who still mows lawns for a living....

[bertman]

31. The words "mercy" and "killing" keep popping into my head.

[Harry Monroe]

32. What kind of fuckhead parents would give their child a name like that??!!

The kid has to go through life with that name. He should change it as soon as he is legally able. What a couple of idiots!!!!

[Eurobabe]

63. Same type of stupid morons that name a kid Bronx Mogli

but yeah, naming a kid after 'Arche' is abominable.

[Harry Monroe]

81. You also don't necessarily have to name your kid after a tyrant or despicable person to mess him up

I knew a guy named Reynolds Reynolds in college. Also a guy named Mitchell Mitchell in high school. And what about "Moon Unit"?? (though Frank Zappa's kids turned OK, I think)

[RaleighNCDUer]

91. Oh, hell, my folks named me after two grandfathers and an uncle

"Ralph". And my entire life it's been Ed Norton's "hey, Ralphie boy!" and "I'm gonna ralph!" and "Ralf Malf", and I've always wondered if I would have been different if named 'Bill' instead.

It doesn't take much.

[Eurobabe]

130. I was named after a character in

the little Rascals (not purposefully, and it was not my mom's fault, Dad was from southern Virginia and had to have this name for me )

I always hated that f'ing name so much, as soon as had a well developed nickname, I legally changed the sucker. I now cringe when I hear other people with the same first name. I should have been allowed to change it earlier. That combined with my adopted last name sounded so dorky, it's a wonder I wasn't beat up in school.

(And no, I was NOT Buckwheat or Alfalfa!)

[latebloomer]

146. Spanky?

And I'm glad it wasn't Alfalfa.

[Naipes]

84. That's EXACTLY what I was thinking...

fucking idiots.

[FloridaJudy]

34. Cute kid.

Too bad about his fucked-up parents.

[sofa king]

136. He reminds me of that kid from The Omen.

36. So . . . I assume we're not doing vanilla icing on chocolate cake? No? n/t

[texastoast]

40. And no red and yellow icing either

Orange would be out too. That leaves them with green and blue, but I doubt they would permit teal.

[NoodleyAppendage]

37. Neck Tattoo = The Mark of the Dumbass.

While a general stereotype, I have yet to meet, read, or see anything to suggest that people who get big neck tattoos have socially redeeming qualities. This guy is a RACIST DICK.

[chatnoir]

104. Neck ink on that guy = KKKlassy

[Algorem]

38. them little luger sprinkles are tasty though

[ryanmuegge]

39. LOL

[Sebass1271]

41. they claim not to be racists but believe races should not

mix.. charly, i think we have a problem. riiiiight, they are not racists.. uhum.. white supremacists live a life of lies and don't tell their regular friends who they really are..

[Endangered Specie]

42. Dang... I would have rather been named buttafucko.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

43. Where's Vic Hitler when you need him?

[notadmblnd]

46. How many people put their childs full name on a b-day cake?

They did it because they wanted controversy. Wal-Mart took the bait. Being that
Was-Mart in a Southern state, are we really surprised?

I'm not saying that racism doesn't exist in the North, but those people in the South seem to be much more comfortable expressing it openly than those in the North.

[underpants]

59. Yeah (laughs) there is that too

these kids are being raised by children

[VaYallaDawg]

73. You might want to re-check the article - this happened in Pennsylvania.

[LostinVA]

80. It's NJ

[underdoggie]

47. he twas on Alan Nobody Colmes radio show tonite

Heath, the father, twas just interrogated for a half hour segment on the Nobody Colmes Radio Show tonite.
Father Campbell did regurgitate and confirm all that was in print, that he art truly a real genuwine dimwit nitwit. He didn't divulge whether he was a right-wing conservative rethuglican who still believes wbush is the greatest thing since 3 year old Hitler, or sliced shit, whichever came first, but I'd bet my next huge capital gains check from my financial manager,
that grand master of the Ponzi, Bernard Madoff, Esq.

61. Welcome to DU

let me know if you need any help saving the day

[Undercurrent]

48. Cute kid.

Idiot parents.

[RaleighNCDUer]

92. Makes you kind of wonder who they kidnapped him from. nt

[tomreedtoon]

49. What kind of problems would this kid have?

First of all, whenever his classmates see him, they'll be friendly. They'll raise their palms and say, "Hi, Hitler!"

Second, when he grows up, he will automatically have all kinds of great slogans for his businesses.

Hitler's Steakhouse. "Steaks the way you want them - rare, medium, or Auschwitz!"

Hitler's Aerobics. "Fat, lazy, ugly? We'll march you into shape!"

Hitler's Heating. "Specialist in gas pipes!"

Hitler's Cleaners. "Discounts on Brown and Black Shirts!"

And for those of you who remember the Third Reich's spy chief Admiral Doenetz, he could open up Admiral Donuts. "They call them long johns...we call them U-boats!"

[Harry Monroe]

82. LOL!!

A DUZY winner here!!

[Aloha Spirit]

140. admiral donuts hahaha!

[JI7]

53. isn't it child abuse to name your kid that ?

the parents are scumbags.

[NBachers]

55. Epic Fail

Sterilize bof ov 'em.

[No Elephants]

66. That's what their hero would have done!

[Turbineguy]

62. Wow!

This ShopRite sounds almost as bad as those pharmacies that won't dispense birth control! At least Walmart stepped up to the plate.



On edit: I wonder if there are any children named after Rush Limbaugh?

[HopeHoops]

78. Now THAT might be a good excuse not to decorate the cake!

[No Elephants]

64. People need to stop focusing on the past? What the hell is naming your kids after Nazis BUT

worshipping an especially heinous part of the past?

[davidthegnome]

70. When I first saw the picture

I thought Heath was a woman.

It's a damn shame there are still many people sick enough to worship that focker Hitler. No doubt they'll try to raise their child with the same "values" they have.... scary thought. They may even succeed. Crazy focking assholes.

It's not for me to say who should and shouldn't have children, but naming a kid after that focker should be illegal.

[RaleighNCDUer]

93. That was my first impression, too.

That she was an emaciated stick-figure type, and he was the pudgy, pasty guy with the glasses.

Only after reading a couple other peoples' posts did I go back and see I had it backwards. Which REALLY disturbed me, as seen correctly they look very much like my daughter and SOL.

[Maeve]

74. The irony of invoking Obama and "change" when they don't believe in mixing races

I'd inscribe the cake. I wouldn't trust the taste of the icing, tho...Bertie Botts has a vomit flavor bean, IIRC...

[Bodhi BloodWave]

94. thats slightly off on what he said i think(as much as i hate to defend him)

As the story states

He said he was raised not to avoid people of other races but not to mix with them socially or romantically. But he said he would try to raise his children differently.

"Say he grows up and hangs out with black people. That's fine, I don't really care," he said. "That's his choice."

He was raised the way you said, and he will try to raise his children differently, to me that sounds like a good thing.

Can't say i agree with his choice of names tho

[Maeve]

112. the other story disagrees

http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/warren-county/index.ssf...
The Campbells have swastikas in each room of their home, the rented half of a one-story duplex just outside Milford, a borough in Hunterdon County. They say they aren't racists but believe races shouldn't mix.

I don't believe his crap--you don't pick names like those and decorate your house and body with racist signs just because they are "art".

[chatnoir]

113. So 'artistic"

Family car



Lovely decor

[Rob H.]

143. Proof that ignorance and racism go hand-in-hand

I'm no neo-Nazi, but even I know that when Hitler's Germany used the swastika it faced the other way. Wonder if the mail-order place he ordered that shit from will give him his money back.

Reminds me of a story a friend told me about a racist skinhead who went to have a Nazi slogan tattooed on his forehead--he didn't know the German phrase was actually "Heil, Hitler!" so he wound up with "Hi, Hitler!" on his noggin for all the world to see. At least he did the world a favor by literally marking himself as a moran.

[chatnoir]

148. Hi, Hitler!

Seems improbable that there would be yet ANOTHER racist knuckledragger who thought it was "Hi, Hitler!" but don't underestimate morans, I guess. I recall the story all these years later about this other nutjob:

February 13, 1994--Macon (Ga) Telegraph

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL--A white supremacist wants permission to wear a Ku Klux Klan robe and be called ``Hi Hitler'' at his murder trial. Donald Leroy Evans is accused of strangling Ira Jean Smith, a Fort Lauderdale prostitute, in 1985. In motions filed Friday, Evans asked to be allowed to wear the KKK robe, and for his name to be changed on all court documents to ``the honorable and respected name of Hi Hitler.'' According to courthouse employees, Evans thought Adolf Hitler's followers said ``Hi Hitler'' rather than ``Heil Hitler.''

[JonQ]

120. It also says that he's a holocaust denier

that idolizes hitler. Huh? So what else did hitler do of note? Lost the biggest war in history? Set germanys economic recovery and world opinion back decades? He did build the autobahn I guess.

So he either worships a guy who he believes was a failure in almost everyway (except road building, and Ike did better there). Or he's lying and just refuses to admit that he supports the holocaust.

Not that I really need to elaborate on the point that he's an idiot.

[BoneDaddy]

75. What selfish ignorant people

sorry if that is a little too rough.

[Sheets of Easter]

76. You better believe that if the kid's name was Osama bin Laden Hassan,

Wal-Mart never would have agreed to make that stupid cake.

[jdadd]

79. This is scary....

I just watched an old movie last night,from 1978....The boys from Brazil

[LynnTheDem]

85. But they're "not racists".

And George W. bUsh isn't a war criminal.

[noonwitch]

87. I feel so bad for that kid, his life is going to be miserable once he starts school.

I hope the teachers withold their disgust from the classroom and vent it at parent-teacher conferences with the kids parents.

I don't blame the store that refused to print the name on the cake, and I don't blame WalMart for wanting to make money. I'm neutral on the business end of it.

[marshall]

95. But would Wal Mart take the name Hussein Campbell?

It would be interesting to see what their next child's name will be.

[surrealAmerican]

100. The parents of little Adolf's "mixed-race" friends must be ...

... crazy too. Seriously, would you allow your interracial child anywhere near the sort of parents who would name their kid that?

[superconnected]

128. Look at the pics of their house online and of the fathers nazi tatoos.

They are racists. The aryan nations says they're not against other races either - they just don't want the races to mix. That group has assumed a sugar coating of racism. They've been doing it for years. This guy is only parroting back the aryan nations diatribe. Unfortunately the newspaper didn't let him go on with the rest of what he believes to show everyone that yes, he's a die hard racist.

I mean come on, he's named his kids after people who kill other races.

[Javaman]

102. UPDATE 5: they only have 4 teeth between the 5 of them. nt

[underpants]

110. UPDATE 6

[alfredo]

105. Last time I was at a Walmart, the Muszak was Wagner

[mooseandsquirrel]

106. The CEO of ShopRite is Jewish

I hope he made the decision and felt insulted by this horrible family of Nazis.

109. That's really sad - I wonder if they just tried to set up the store so they could sue :(

[chatnoir]

107. Oh heil no (sorry, couldn't help it) -- kid reminds me of Damien from the Omen

Husband's arm tats



They're prob just looking for a way to sue ShopRite.

[Retrograde]

125. isn't that swastika backwards? (n/t)

[chatnoir]

149. Sure is

Then again one of their kids is named Honszlynn Hinler when they were going for Himmler, I'm guessing.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

114. Here's a picture of the youngest:

[Regret My New Name]

117. Assholes...

Obviously they are assholes for their back-assward beliefs, but whatever, people are allowed to be morons. However, using their kids in such way is unacceptable. Ehhn, although I guess we can't be taking kids away for this.. I suspect if they're doing this then there are many other things that might be used to save these kids...

I also find it 'amusing' that they try to 'hide' their actual racism by using some weird explanations. I guess it shows that they know they're moron.

[superconnected]

129. The aryan nations says it's not racist either - they just want the races seperated.

They are highly racist but sugarcoat it. This guy is only parroting back what the Aryan nations says. He can't think for himself.

To name his kids after people who kill other races shows how tolerant he is. Really, what you're seeing is the modern spin on racism that the aryan nations is spewing - and has been for a decade. They've said only what the aryan nations says. These two are mindless followers of a racist movement.

[mbperrin]

134. I don't know why the kids can't be taken away. Money is being spent on

tattoos rather than raising kids, and that money is disability money.

If the parents were buying crack with the money instead, nobody would argue the kids are in danger.

Being raised by demented folk is just as dangerous as crack - maybe more, because it goes on 24 hours a day, whereas at some point, you rest from crack...wish I was being sarcastic.

[Gwendolyn]

139. Actually, the kids look well-nourished and are clean and dressed properly.

On what grounds do you want to take them away... because of their names? That's quite the slippery slope argument.

Don't think I'd prefer to be with crack parents if I were a child today. These people may be racist but chances are they won't burn their children on a stove top in some delusional tweeker rage, or sell them for drug money.

[mbperrin]

144. No, not really a slippery slope. Why don't you let them speak

for themselves?
http://www.aryan-nations.org/index-2.htm

Here's the official site.

Oh, and for what it's worth - Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy all looked well-nourished and clean and dressed properly.

Pretty low standard you've got there.

[Gwendolyn]

145. You want to take children away from their parents because of their names?

Their middle names actually? Where does that end, and who says what's offensive?

Stalin, Hitler, and Bundy grew up in very religious households. Want to take all children away from their fundamentalist families? Obviously religion breeds violence. (You forgot Dahmer btw. He was well nourished and grew up in a fundie family too.)

Gacy, Hitler and Bundy had abusive father figures. Social workers have a hard time enough keeping up with burgeoning abuse cases, and you want to add to that, children with offensive names?

There's no indication these children are being beaten or tortured in the way that children of parents with substance abuse problems often are. And they always have the choice to refute their parents' beliefs when they're old enough. Totally different than growing up in a crack addicted household. Wouldn't wish that on any child.

[Gemini Cat]

119. That's Abuse.

I hope New Jersey will watch for and protect these children. They will need it.
The breeders of those children are steaming piles of goat shit!

[jberryhill]

126. Yeah, but that's an in-stock item for Wal-Mart /nt
