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."

That’s like saying every white shirt is a “surrender shirt.” They can call it what they want, but it’s silly. I see kids on campus all the time wearing Che t-shirts and Jimi Hendrix t-shirts and they don’t know the difference.

Malkin’s lost her marbles..

Oh no, the chubby annoying chick is wearing a scarf... she must be a terrorist sympathizer....

Uh oh, I better not buy my latte and doughnut from them... or I’m being a bad citizen?

Sorry Malkin, but this grip makes you look like Jesse Jackson.

Thanks for your feedback, LS.
I’ll have to stand by my original answer.

This isn’t just an overreaction, but may have been intended to create one, as ‘plausible deniability’ is written all over it.
