This is NOT a joke! The Psycho Wing has accused Rachel Ray of being sympathetic to terrorists
If Rachael Ray had known such a big scandal would start following her Dunkin’ Donuts commercial, she’d surely have chosen her clothing much more carefully. But who could have suspected a simple piece of cloth could lead to such fierce debates?

The strange thing is that Dunkin’ Donuts actually believed that its customers could think Rachael Ray was a terrorist sympathizer, and decided to cancel the ad.

One of the biggest critics of the ad was, of course, the ultra-conservative Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin, who suggested there should be a Dunkin’ Donuts boycott. Malkin also accused other celebrities such as Collin Farrell, Mary Kate Olsen, or Kanye West, of wearing “hate couture.”

In her column, Malkin explained the symbolism of the keffiyeh, the scarf which Rachael Ray wears in the ad, and the way it was made popular out of ignorance or intentionally.

3. She didn't even choose the scarf
The photographer chose it for her.

I think it's in the press release from Dunkin Donuts.

4. So When does the Anchor Baby attack US troops?

And our Australian and UK allies?

Australian Army forces have also used the shemagh since the Vietnam War, and extensively during Iraq and Afghanistan, particularly by Australian Special Forces units. Since the beginning of the War on Terror, these keffiyeh, usually cotton and in military olive drab or khaki with black stitching, have been adopted by US and troops as well. Their practicality in an arid environment, as in Iraq, explains their constant popularity with soldiers. Soldiers often wear the keffiyeh folded in half into a triangle and wrapped around the face, with the halfway point being placed over the mouth and nose, sometimes coupled with goggles, to keep sand out of the face.

10. I have just one thing to say...


Nothing and no one mobilizes into immediate action quite like the Republican Umbrage Brigade!

Crap like this is exactly why I made this image.
