While I agree this is ridiculous because her scarf looks simply like a scarf, I’d like to play the devel’s advocate. We must remember symbols have always represented an important part of all cultures throughout time. Had Rachel Ray worn a swastika arm band or white hood the world would have been appalled. I am amazed that certain forms of dress have become en vogue. As an expatriate from the U.S. it disturbs me that we can be so insensitive especially after 911 and I can only attribute this to ignorance. For many of us living elsewhere in the world, we see up close what these symbols represent. These organizations and governments actively support the suppression of women, the banning of freedom of religion and speech, and the tacit acceptance of violence against innocent human beings all in the name of a cause or belief. Have we become so P.C. that we refuse to tell the truth or are we somehow hoping that our own human/democratic values are also shared by all? Read, listen and observe. Actions always speak louder than words. Remember, symbols are powerful messages!

Are you literate? I’m a Republican and I defended Ray, while Charles Johnson is widely thought to be a Marxist, albeit like Chris Hitchens and Ayann Hirsi Ali one on “our” side in the war on terror.

But that aside, Malkin’s post didn’t say what you claim, it said in essence that Ray and other celebrities wear Kaffiyehs because Urban Outfitters popularized them, and they have no idea what it means or how offensive it is to Jewish people whose families may have been maimed in killed in Israel by people wearing that same item.

That’s a point you can debate I guess, though that’s not your interest, is it.

It’s amusing that a person who goes from blog to blog posting the same comment under different assumed names claims others are “chickenhawks” especially in reference to Malkin who has been to Iraq. When did your favorite Keith Olbermann, go to Iraq?

This comment is politically asinine but what’s worse is that you’re so contemptuous of others and me that you won’t bother to read what we wrote before vomiting forth a talking point cobbled together from late night viewings of Countdown while typing out childish comments on DailyKos. It’s childish, disrespectful and par for the course for people like you.

By the way, if there is no terrorist conspiracy, how do you explain the Hezbollah rally in Nigeria?

Holy crap.

No wonder Republicans can’t win wars anymore. It’s a freakin’ donut commercial people. There’s no global jihadist conspiracy. She’s wearing a #%$@ paisley scarf that the wardrobe dept. probably bought at Target.

Wow. Just like, wow.

I came here from Malkin’s little cave, where she’s huddled in a defensive crouch, ever vigilant against the fatwah with chocolate sprinkles and a medium coffee.

How sad that Republicans have become so paralyzed with fear that they believe even the simple purchase of a donut is fraught with peril and far-reaching national security implications.

“Mainstreaming terror!”

“Jihadi chic!”

“Hate couture!”

Just look around the internet and watch the chickenhawks run. Good Lord.

And they wonder why nobody takes them seriously anymore…
