EASTON, Pa. A supermarket is defending itself for refusing to a write out 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell's name on his birthday cake. Deborah Campbell, 25, of nearby Hunterdon County, N.J., said she phoned in her order last week to the Greenwich ShopRite. When she told the bakery department she wanted her son's name spelled out, she was told to talk to a supervisor, who denied the request. Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman, said the store denied similar requests from the Campbells the last two years, including a request for a swastika. "We reserve the right not to print anything on the cake that we deem to be inappropriate," Meleta said. "We considered this inappropriate." The Campbells ultimately got their cake decorated at a Wal-Mart in Pennsylvania, Deborah Campbell said Tuesday. A Wal-Mart spokesman told The Associated Press on Wednesday that in light of the incident, the company would review its guidelines regarding cake decorations and other requests. "It's clear that in serving this customer, some people were offended," spokesman Greg Rossiter said. "As a result, we're going to review our policies." Heath Campbell said he named his son after Adolf Hitler because he liked the name and because "no one else in the world would have that name." The Campbells' two other children are named JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, who turns 2 in a few months, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, who will be 1 in April.

Please!!! The politically correct term is “Caucasian Refuse”.
Wow, that’s from the shallow end of the gene pool.
wow, uh, I’d never name a child those names together in any form.
Great point. But the leftists believe the price of daring to open and run a business is the sacrifice of one's religious beliefs.
Of course, if someday a pharmacist refused to sell a "morning after" pill to someone because they learned their fetus was predisposed to homosexuality, the left would applaud this wonderful example of standing up for one's personal beliefs.
Oh well, the name Iran means land of Aryans. Actually, the name Aryan should be perfectly fine.
Nothing says ‘classy’ like a neck tattoo.
some people are not cut out to be parents.
i bet someone will be filing for a name change when he reaches 18.
My advice to the above folks: Go down to City Hall and change your name to something less conspicuous. Like, say, Schickelgruber.
Triangular vs rectangular makes all the difference.

There’s a bright side. At least the staff at the supermarket took a history course that included WWII and they remembered it - no small accomplishment in today’s dumbed down classrooms.
Those things give me the Trotskys.
I wonder if they would return to the bakery if it had written the youngster’s name as “Barack Hussein Campbell”, by mistake?
Just a different name association.
They once gave me a bad case of MaoTse Dung.
Rachel Carson is responsible for more deaths than Hitler, Stalin, Mao, & Pol Pot combined, but I’ll bet you’d have no trouble putting her name on a cake.
Imagine what these kids will go through when they get to school!
The Campbells have always been a shameless clan.
This is the store information in case anyone wants to call to tell them we appreciate their stance.

Isn’t that why we all come here,
For all the important news the MSM tries to suppress!
