Rachael Ray, Chef/Terrorist Sympathizer
Are you kidding me?, Culture Tagged dunkin donuts, michelle malkin, rachael ray May 28th, 2008Did you know that Rachael Ray is a terrorist sympathizer? Yeah, me either.
But yes, according to the latest in conservative brilliance, Rachael Ray—the gregarious host of the Food Network’s 30 Minute Meals and the creator of annoying phrases like “yummo”—sympathizes with terrorists because she wore a scarf in one of her latest Dunkin Donuts ads.
Is she annoying? Yes. Obnoxious? Definitely. But a terrorist sympathizer? Give me a break.
Nevertheless, some conservatives are all up in arms because Ray’s scarf evidently resembles a keffiyeh, which is a traditional headdress worn by Arab men. From the Boston Globe:
Some observers, including ultra-conservative Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin, were so incensed by the ad that there was even talk of a Dunkin’ Donuts boycott.
‘‘The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad,’’ Malkin yowls in her syndicated column.
‘‘Popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos, the apparel has been mainstreamed by both ignorant and not-so-ignorant fashion designers, celebrities, and left-wing icons.’’
Dunkin Donuts initially dismissed the complaints, but later decided it’d just be easier to pull the ad.
Good grief.

The pink polo trend was initially based off of gangs in New York. If I wear a pink polo am I in a gang?
If so-the corner office is my turf. Stay off it Katie or risk your life. I don’t welcome green jackets in my territory.
