Rachael Ray is probably a terrorist

Rachael Ray and Dunkin’ Donuts hate America. That’s what conservative pundits would have you believe after the doughnut chain yanked an ad in which Ray is seen wearing a black-and-white silk paisley scarf that sort of resembles a keffiyeh, a traditional Arab headdress. The Boston Globe says columnist and Fox News talking head Michelle Malkin was ready to call for a Dunkin’ Donuts boycott over the scarf, which she claimed, with a straight face, “is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad. ... Popularized by 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.” (Rachael Ray is now a left-wing icon? That’s odd; we in the hippie communist hemp-smoking media didn't get that memo.) Dunkin’ tried to ignore the made-up controversy, but that never works in this country, so they wussed out and pulled the ad. “It is refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans as opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists,” Malkin said. Thank god that’s over. Now Malkin can move on to more pressing matters, such as why Bob’s Big Boy doesn’t wear an American flag lapel pin. What are you trying to hide, Comrade Big Boy?!?

wow, i can't believe that it has come down to this. Rachael Ray is an honest, hardworking, american and anyone who says different is just envious and bored out of their minds. Whoever came up with this is absurd!!!! I love her on foodnetwork.

[Stephanie]

Are you kidding me?.....someone needs to get a life!

[Rodger]

LOL LOL. unfreakin real! does dunkin D now have terrorist turn overs or muslim muffins? and it's kinda funny cause Racheal just doesnt come off as intimidating at all.

Anything that gets the overexposed Rachel Ray off TV is fine with me. Way to go, Michelle.

[DC]

Michelle Malkin should get a hobby... like falling into a coma.

[MaryD]

This is America - Why must WE conform to what all foreigner's are used to in their own country? If we were at theirs, as females, our hair would have to be covered or else!!!! No questions asked - People get over it.

[Dave]

It's awesome how the wacko right-wingers have turned into such clowns.

Even children make fun of them now.

[sensiblysane]

Even without the sinister meaning they are trying to read into this commercial, the scarf draws attention away from the product. Do it over.

[JB]

Malkin is a bit of a hack and full-time "culture war" combatant, brittle in manner and shallow in thought. The poor thing simply runs out of things to complain about (or satirize), catches herself watching the tube, and voila! a new outrage. I read her stuff until I decided she really wasn't as talented or insightful as she was LOUD.

[JH]

FOX News? What else could one expect? Has anyone listened to there evening garbage.........oops, news!

[Bill]

Huh? Aren't most Dunkin Donuts owned by middle easterner's anyhow? After all the taxicab and 7/11 jobs were taken, they bought gas stations. Then they started buying up Dairy Queens and Dunkin Donuts.

I'm fighting back....I'm buying a hookah bar!

[Bernie]

She's a cow

[heather]

Maybe Rachael should take her scarf and wrap it around Michelle Malkin's eyes. Anyone with so much racisim in their heart to point out a black and white scarf (love it by the way)worn by our country's #1 female chef (YUMMO) and call it a terrorist act, shouldn't even be in this country. She should have Rachael make her some of her food and serve it up with some dunkin doughnuts coffee on the side. Americans need to be americans, not fashion predijustes pointer outers!(funny how there's not even a title for her self proclaimed job of picking on people's scarves! JEALOUS?

[jay]

She is a no talent hack. That should be bad enough.

[Teri]

If this weren't so stupid it would just be hysterical! I mean come on! Get over your idiotic sensibility!

[Scott]

It's a Krispy Kreme Jihad!!

[erin]

That scarf is from Urban Outfitters, for gods sake. I own it. Oh, and I'm a young Jewish woman.The keffiyah resemblence never even occurred to me. Ridiculous!!!

[stacey fl native]

oh geez, its a scarf, I wear scarves all the time and I am 100% American!

[Tubby]

Off with the scarf! We will have no scarfs on the air!

[Sam]

Kenny doesn't even like her any more so why does it matter? Though... he DID read this article. So maybe he just SAYS he doesn't like her anymore.

[JIMMY]

Next you can not wear stars. As this will offend jewish people. If you are black, you can not wear white colored clothing as that will seem racists. If you are white, you can not wear black colored clothing as that will offend the african community. Only hispanics can eat at Taco Bell, African's at Rib joints and whites can only eat meat and potatoes!

COME ON PEOPLE!!! WE'VE GOT BETTER THINGS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT!

[WoW]

So, Does that mean we should ban commercials containing men wearing suits on the same grounds?

What on Earth are we turning into???

[Crikey]

Really? This is how we fight the war on terrorism. By hounding the 30-minute chef in a donut ad? You really couldn't make this stuff up.

[Tina]

Are you kidding me with this garbage? It's just a scarf--get over it!
