What the hell is this nonsense about Dunkin Donuts caving in to Michelle Malkin and her band of pitchfork-wielding right-wingers? Not that I love Rachel Ray and her hyperactive TV personality, but who in their right minds would actually believe:

1: That Rachel Ray supports terrorism
2: That a scarf is anything more than a fashion statement
3: That anyone takes Michelle Malkin seriously

Actually, that last one turned out to be true. What goes on in her warped little mind that makes her see a frickin' Dunks commercial and automatically think "Palestinian Sympathizer!" No one thinks like that. No one. And the fact she managed to get away with publicly accusing an innocent person of supporting terrorism and caused a major company to run away with their tails between their legs is just frightening.

What is Dunkin Donuts's response to all of this?

Thank you for sharing your comments. We always appreciate hearing from our customers. As of this past weekend, we are no longer using the online ad featuring Rachael Ray wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design. Our decision was based solely on the fact that the possibility of misperception detracted from the intent of the ad, which was to promote iced coffee -- nothing more, nothing less.At Dunkin' Donuts, we value all our customers and are committed to making your experiences with us memorable and pleasant. Thank you, again, for making us aware of your concerns.

That says it right there: "a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design."

It's just a scarf. Just a scarf. Just. A. Scarf. Dunkin Donuts did nothing wrong. Rachel Ray did nothing wrong. Her stylist did nothing wrong. There was nothing wrong with the ad whatsoever. There was nothing to misperceive.

If Michelle Malkin and her ilk have such a fit over a scarf, we'd better make sure that nobody tells them that the Arabs invented coffee. The CEO of Dunkin will probably sacrifice his first born son to appease these jackasses.

Dunkin Donuts was afraid of a boycott for running the ad? We should boycott them for taking it down.
