Dunkin' Donuts pulled a television spot featuring talk show host and Food Network personality Rachael Ray this weekend after a Fox news commentator associated it with terrorists.
In the ad, Ray is wearing a scarf that Michelle Malkin said in her nationally syndicated column resembled a kiffiyeh, Middle Eastern garb that is "popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos."
Dunkin's Senior Vice President for Communications Margie Myers issued a statement saying the scarf "was selected by a stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended.
"However, as of this past weekend, we are no longer using the online ad because the possibility of misperception detracted from its original intention to promote our iced coffee."
In her column, Malkin also noted that it could appear at times that actor Colin Farrell, rapper Kanye West and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean have been photographed in similar scarves that were "distinctive hate couture."
Way to go Dunkin Donuts. Way to stand up and fight.

Yes The Culture war against Rachel Ray wearing a scarf.
This is so frickin' stupid, I can't even believe it.
But, then, Ralph is here to cheer it on, so I guess the proof is in the proverbial pudding.
Quoting Keith Olbermann again: "Terrorist SCARVES!!!"
Jeebus.
Dunkin should have shown some backbone to that misinforming malcontented cunt, Malkin. I can't believe anyone in this country is willing to take anything that vepid little bitch says seriously.
Well, other than ralph, of course.
Maglalang?
Michelle Malkin gets under the nutrots skin badly. It's a great thing to see and to read.

That's great. Thank you for your input Damail. Now back to tearing up your pictures of Scotty.
Michelle Malkin is completely without redeeming features.
