Oy. Come on people.
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Have you seen this article about the right-wing cacophony that drove Dunkin Donuts to drop an ad featuring Rachael Ray wearing a scarf that was characterized as a keffiyeh:
“The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad”
The final paragraph of the article is craziness. I am happy to not know the crazy pundit they quote but this is a shocking level of pandering:
For her part, Malkin was pleased with Dunkin’s response: ‘‘It’s refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists.’’
Come on. Rachael Ray wouldn’t knowingly symbolize something related to a jihad. I think we all known this, right? Is anyone seriously calling her an apologist for jihadists?
