And caving in to her most recent screed. According to Michelle Malkin, Rachel Ray's scarf in the Dunkin Donut ad below was "too Middle Eastern" and made it easier for Dunkin Donuts to suicide bomb delicious confectioneries in the stomach's of America (I made that last part up.)
Here's what Malkin actually said,
So it was with some dismay that I learned last week that Dunkin' Donuts spokeswoman Rachael Ray, the ubiquitous TV hostess, posed for one of the company's ads in what appeared to be a black-and-white keffiyeh.
The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad. Popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos, the apparel has been mainstreamed by both ignorant (and not so ignorant) fashion designers, celebrities and left-wing icons.
Here is Rachel Ray's pic from the ad with Dunkin Donut's apology.
- ‘‘In a recent online ad, Rachael Ray is wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design. It was selected by her stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of misperception, we are no longer using the commercial.’’
Why do conservatives, after nearly a decade of social, economic and foreign policy failure still have this kind of power?
If I was Rachel Ray I'd tell DD to eat my fucking donut hole.

ReplyDeletethat "scarf" used to be a mainstay in the hood - late 80's early 90s'.
thousands of us had. still have them, and wore them (sold by the china man) on many a cold night.
im certain us buyers only attributed them to style.
pretty sneaky keffiyeh.
pretty sneaky..
(insert sounds of connect 4 chips dropping)
NO sarcasm either. I'm just surprised to read this well past the golden era.
I guess John McCain's daughter, Meghan, supports terrorists as well. She's been wearing the keffiyeh.

Mc Cain's daughter Meghan must be a fan of the terrorists as well. She's been wearing the same type of scarf.

ReplyDeleteIt's not that Conservatives have so much power per se, it is just that people are incredibly stupid and dont think for themselves. FOX news and people like Rush Limbaugh have their whole mission based on the fact that there are legions of folk who want to be told how to think and what to think. These are the same folks who believe that racism does not exist in the 21st C and shit is "equal". As those of us who live in the real world and stay away from the fear mongers like FOX news, we know that racism is real, nothing is equal and this country is imploding from the inside.
