Dunkin’ Donuts Nixes Terrorist Rachael Ray Ad

Oh my god she is wearing a scarf she is a teevee cook terror?Remember when those nuts on the right, Michelle Malkin and Charles Johnson, condemned beloved fast food bakery Dunkin’ Donuts for letting teevee chef Rachael Ray wear a Palestinian scarf in this ad? Dunkin’ Donuts first released a statement saying that no, it was not the Palestinian kaffiyeh design at all, just paisley, and a SCARF. Despite being categorically incorrect, the wingnuts have somehow “won” and Dunkin’ Donuts will pull the ad due to the “possibility of misperception.” Jesus. [Boston Globe]

    They’re just mad because afterwards she attempted to make 30-minute tabbouleh, and it came out *way* too al dente.

    Wasn’t Malkin just praising Dunkin for ensuring that all their employees were ‘legal citizens’ or whatever it is she cares about, because Michelle “I’m not Asian” Malkin was totally about to fill out an application and she wanted the pool as small as possible. Who even eats Dunking Donuts? That’s like the poor man’s Starbucks.
