Scarves wrapped around the neck above open-necked shirts are very fashionable right now. Rachel Ray is from Albany. She's a cook. She's about as terroristic as I am.
Yup, people have lost their minds. Dunkin Donuts should have stood up for her.
Yah, this is really weird. My reaction is the same as yours, but OTOH, I like Michelle Malkin. I've only read quotes but she is vehement about it. I've seen another commenter whom I like take her side, but I just don't see it. OTOH, Malkin may know something I don't. There may be some subtle message being sent by the "scarf". I don't know.
I DO know I get a kick out of the Globe describing Malkin as "ultra-conservative." Have they EVER described anyone as ultra-liberal? Somehow, I doubt it.
I used to like Malkin a lot, but I stopped reading her regularly a couple years ago, and whenever I see anything by her lately it's been increasingly shrill and unreasonable. This is no exception.
I think it's an indicator of just how sheltered and protected and oblivious some of us are. When a person perceives a political threat in a fashion accessory worn by a tv celebrity in a doughnut commercial, it's proof that the person has no idea what a true political threat would be -- and that she wouldn't recognize one if she saw it. It's a kind of frivolity growing out of luxury and boredom, rather like urban yuppies obsessing about organic food while people in other places don't have access to clean water.
Malkin explains herself better here, including pictures of examples of actual keffiyehs in action - which look NOTHING like the frilled, flowery scarf Ray is wearing.

A picture of the offending "keffiyeh," if you're curious.

I'm sure they haven't.

Beautifully said.

I dunno, Malkin's just too much for me.
I think I've read her once or twice, but it was my perception that she was reliable. Guess she's just another right-wing nut job.
