What intrigues me is that, with all we now know about our alleged “War on Terror”, dickbrains like Malkin still can convince a major corporation that more than a handful of inbred yahoos actually take her seriously. I mean, Rachael Ray, a terrorist sympathizer–all because she’s wearing a fucking SCARF!? And Dunkin’ Donuts is so chickenshit that they actually pull the ad? AAAAARGH!!! The stupid–it still burns! ---

To be fair, I don’t think Malkin seriously called her a “terrorist sympathizer,” only that she was wearing a “symbol of terrorism and anti-Semitism” without knowing what it meant. It’s the same kind of thing she says to Che Guevara t-shirts. ---

For what it’s worth, I was doing voter registration at an Arab market and asked some of the chattier ones about the scarf and what they think of it. Not one person said that Rachael Ray is a terrorist sympathizer. You’ve got to do a little more than just that. ---

On the other hand, a majority of those questioned said they’d love to see her blow herself up. ---

My husband and I were shopping yesterday and we saw that, in addition to Rachael Ray-brand cookware and knives and stuff, there are actual Rachael Ray Garbage Bowls. You know how she advocates keeping a bowl handy when you cook, so you can throw stuff into it like eggshells, potato peelings, onion skin, etc., so as to save time and discard it all at once rather than trudging to the garbage can every time you have something to throw away? Big plastic bowls bearing Rachael Ray’s endorsement. **Nineteen dollars and ninety-five cents.** For those households lacking big plastic bowls. Terrorist indeed. ---

One more and I’ll lay off: [Quote=Mosier] A dumb, drunk, vulnerable chick is a “drop everything and do her NOW” situation. [/quote] So, how about if she was also unconscious? Would that be your ideal? I guess it doesn’t matter at this point that Rachel Ray wasn’t wearing a kaffiyeh at all, just a paisley scarf. ---

For perspective, [here’s a blog post](http://www.israelforum.com/blog_article.php?aid=1475865) with pictures of prospective first daughter Meghan McCain wearing a scarf that barely looks like a keffiyeh, written by a blogger who has lost his everlovin’ mind. There’s also a picture out there in cyberland of Michelle Malkin herself sitting on a couch that’s draped with a keffiyeh/scarf, but it might take me a while to find it again. ---

[QUOTE=Marley23] Of course, this is exactly the reason sensible people _wouldn’t_ be offended, but we’re not discussing those people. I’ll tell you who should really be offended here: my Communist brother. He’s been wearing a keffiyeh for years as a show of solidarity with Palestine and nobody cares (although it helps that we can usually talk him out of wearing the thing outside the house). Rachel Ray wears one sorta-keffiyehish-looking scarf and it’s the end of the world, but Communists can’t get the time of day these days. [/QUOTE] Communism is soooo 1950’s. I also think it looks like a paisley scarf. But paisley is a suspicious word in and of itself. Does anyone even know what a paisley is?
