A couple of my posts from the other thread.

Looks to me like she bought one of the Urban Outfitters "Anti-War Woven Scarf" scarves at $20 a pop, or a similar product. Wonder if she has all the colors? Had to buy one right away, they pulled them from the shelves after a few weeks.

Or it could be a http://islam.about.com/library/products/aabybpalestinescarf.htm>http://islam.about.com/library/products/aabybpalestinescarf.htm

Matt Lauer was rumored to have one.

Keffiyehs can be all sorts of styles, patterns, and colors. Frequently no color, though the pro-palestinian scarf versions are usually black or red with the houndstooth pattern. Her's looks like a lousy digital photo of houndstooth to me, but it could be floral. Obviously there's no way of knowing what or why Ray is wearing, these things haven't been stylish for a couple years. I can see them not using the ad and shooting another, I don't think anything should happen to her.

Here's Meghan McCain in one.

Not a Tallit, they’re not worn or marketed as fashion. A boycott would be silly, DD acted, and I agree that Rachel Ray probably was clueless as to the nature of the scarf, as was McCain’s daughter when she wore one upthread. But I agree with Ezekiel, the ad agency certainly knew, or should have. These things are marketed to mainstream the message, and as I noted earlier were used as anti-war statements, UO sold it as an anti-war scarf, to reinforce the “natural” alliance between the anti-war crowd and terrorists. The alliance not based on a desire for peace, but a revulsion for America and Israel.

while UO should have rolled the collection from Spring to Summer already (scarf would not be part of the Summer inventory), but I still see the scarfs on sale at the UO nearby.

...and ... it really is just an ugly scarf.

Well that narrows it down so we can all be on the lookout now. /s
