Next time couldn't they ban Rachel Ray?

Thank God that Michelle Malkin is on security watch:

It's refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists. Too many of them bend over backward in the direction of anti-American political correctness. Naturally, liberal commentators on the Internet are now up in arms over Dunkin' Donuts' decision to yank the ad and mock anyone who expresses concern over the keffiyeh's symbolism.

What's she talking about?


Rachel Ray's scarf. Apparently, it's the embodiment of evil and should be banned lest the terrorists win. The ad was pulled because of comments from conservative blogs like Michelle Malkin's.

In case you think she's overreacting, Michelle throws some more good stuff our way.

It's just a scarf, the clueless keffiyeh-wearers scoff. Would they say the same of fashion designers who marketed modified Klan-style hoods in Burberry plaid as the next big thing?

Fashion statements may seem insignificant, but when they lead to the mainstreaming of violence -- unintentionally or not -- they matter. Ignorance is no longer an excuse. In post-9/11 America, vigilance must never go out of style.

Yes, a scarf that bears a superficial resemblance to scarves worn by Muslims is the same as a Klansman's hood and leads to the mainstreaming of violence.

As Thomas Jefferson said, "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance against foreign-looking neckware."

Truer words were never spoken.
