I pegged you as a Bavarian cream kind of girl (with sprinkles on top).

[kcm.org]

Why aren't they calling a boycott of that loud-mourh Rachel Ray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RGSpincich]

Stupid² It was a frickin scarf.

[DoughtyOne]

For A.N.S.W.E.R., this is absoutely business as usual.

If it’s anti-American in any way, A.N.S.W.E.R. is sure to be helping out in some way.

I can see why you said it was bazaar. To a loyalist U.S. Citizen, it truly is.

Claiming a scarf somehow promoted Islamic extremism is almost paranoid schizophrenic-level delusion.

Believe me, there is a "terrorist chic" fad (along with the Marxist chic fad--see below) going on here in DC among the lefties. I see women wearing them at least a couple of days a week as I drive into work. Between the scarves and the Fidel Castro hats and Che tee-shirts, I don't often have to wonder which side of the aisle these people are on.

First of all, Krispy Kreme is a better donut.

Second, I don’t think the scarf was that Arab thing. It looked like she was just wearing a scarf in and iced-coffee ad to show how cold it is.

But who knows. I still don’t even know who Rachael Ray is.

Many libs in this town look down their noses at Dunkin Donuts. Maybe its the lines of construction workers, cops and average blue collar folks one sees at DD every morning. They'll bitch and moan about Starbucks but they prefer that place to Dunkin Donuts.
On Boyslton street not far from where I live there is a Starbucks and a DD separated by a side street. Its a real cultural study seeing who goes into each coffee shop.

If it was Rush or Mike Reagan or another guy commentator, I'd be concerned that he'd misinterpreted the pattern on the scarf, somehow got something wrong.

But I don't think much gets by Mrs. Malkin.

If anything or anyone screwed up, it was Rachel Ray.

Time to eat the donuts.

[weegee]

Yeah, I’ve noticed the Castro hats in vogue now. I’ve called out some people I know about it.

[CarryingOn]

Special to FR “US activists have called for support of Dunkin Donuts that US activists have called for a boycott of doughnuts-and-coffee chain Dunkin Donuts after it pulled an online ad that a conservative commentator said promoted jihad.” Don't forget the bagged coffee available at your local store.

The islamo-fascist terrorist symbol of choice is that ugly checkered headscarf and there is no excuse for anyone not to know this.

Activist muslims and the ACLU will have us wearing 666 on our foreheads sooner or later because there will be no-one left to stand up and say no to their demands made in the name of appeasement, multicultural diversity and religious tolerance. No one has the courage to stand up and say "no" to outrageous, anti-Christian demands so we all get hearded into the cattle cars of fate, together.

[Clemenza]

Its amazing how a simple fashion choice has the retards of the Right and Left foaming at the mouth.

I lost a LOT of respect for Michelle in letting her imagination run wild. It is JUST A SCARF and Rachel Ray (the bulbous buttocked domestic goddess) is NOT A MEMBER OF THE PLO.

[piytar]

I don’t particularly care for their donuts, but I will make a point of buying some next week. And the week after. And the week after that. Etc.

Claiming a scarf somehow promoted Islamic extremism is almost paranoid schizophrenic-level delusion.

Check the posts about the under-the-radar Islamofascist and FARC-Commie-narcoterrorist chic. I think someone tried to slip something into the ad, and Michelle Malkin nailed them. I don't think Rachel Ray necessarily knows what a keffiyeh is, or what that scene is about (I don't think she knows much about much, outside the kitchen, frankly), but maybe someone else did and tried a little guerrilla inescutcheon, a political placement within a commercial ad.

“Dunkin Donuts should have ignored Malkin. Claiming a scarf somehow promoted Islamic extremism is almost paranoid schizophrenic-level delusion.”

I’m just hearing about this situation. Malkin usually doesn’t fly off for no reason. But a scarf??? On an Italian? I’ve got a scarf nearly identical to that one...made in the USA over 50 years ago. There are reasons to be upset, this isn’t one of ‘em.

[mysterio]

If you’re right on this, I would be surprised. Sometimes a scarf is just a scarf.

[swarthyguy]

An absurdist reaction to a STOOOPID essay by Malkin.

It’s kerfuffles like this that make most people laugh at the people concerned about the increased accomodation of Muslim practices in America.

Stupid dingbat, Michelle.

[SamuraiScot]

It is JUST A SCARF

To me, the fury of the A.N.S.W.E.R. ants at having the ad pulled suggests it wasn't just a scarf. Anecdotally, I have absolutely never seen anyone in one of those (quite distinctive) scarves who was not a multi-pierced Commie or Jew-hater. They're all the rage (as it were) at pro-abortion rallies.

And you can understand why. They're ugly, and make the wearer look ugly. No one would purposely wear one (I don't think RR wore hers knowingly) except to show that one hates the right people, i.e., the Jews and America.

HAHA...you know me too well. I almost wrote...”with sprinkles” on my tagline..but thought I would try to keep a tamer image.
