It was a kerchief. In this case Michelle needs to get a grip!
Malkin takes the words out of my mouth AND says it nicer....
“refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists. Too many of them bend over backward in the direction of anti-American political correctness. Naturally, liberal commentators on the Internet are now up in arms over Dunkin’ Donuts’ decision to yank the ad and mock anyone who expresses concern over the keffiyeh’s symbolism.
It’s just a scarf, the clueless keffiyeh-wearers scoff. Would they say the same of fashion designers who marketed modified Klan-style hoods in Burberry plaid as the next big thing?
Fashion statements may seem insignificant, but when they lead to the mainstreaming of violence — unintentionally or not — they matter. Ignorance is no longer an excuse. In post-9/11 America, vigilance must never go out of style.”
Grip getting needed? Yep, you bet.
The cause of pushing back the advance of Islamofascism in the world will be advanced by clear thinking, rational assessment, and decisive action.
Normally, I agree with MM. In this case, I think she’s a bit over the top.
And, I still like Starbuck’s coffee better than DD.
I’m giving you both the benefit of the doubt here, assuming that you live in rural or nice suburban areas where the anti-Semites don’t parade around in these things to show how hip they are.
