Hiya Dunkin Donuts,
You are kidding right? You didn't really pull a Rachael Ray ad off the air because Michelle Malkin thinks the scarf she's wearing is a "keffiyeh?"
Really?
Really?
I never thought I'd say this but, Rachael Ray is not a terrorist.
I'm pretty sure your company isn't secretly funding any terrorist organizations and I'm fairly certain the scarf in question is not a keffiyeh. And I don't have enough time or energy to go into the idea that anyone wearing one is a terrorist... but... we'll save that for another time.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess Dunkin Donuts is having a bit of a "Freedom Fries" moment.
It's okay. Really. We, the American people are usually not this stupid.
Okay, so some of us were taken in a few years back with all that talk of patriotism and whatnot. But trust me on this one -- you will not see a dip in your ad sales due to Rachael Ray's scarf.
In fact, I will start going to Dunkin Donuts and stop going to Starbucks (when I can, I live in Ca... can you come out here?) if you put the damn thing back on the air.
I want it back on the air for about a bazallion reasons not the least of which is: How about we stop the racist/cultural hysteria over Muslims and all people from the Middle East?
I have very little faith in corporate America, so I'm going to expect you to listen to the lunatics and keep the ad off the air.
Just don't ever expect me to buy a cup of your coffee again.
I know, I know, you're damned if you do -- damned if you don't.
But how about just using some common sense?
Not to mention, we're over that whole "fear" thing.
3 AM phone calls and scarves just scream "desperation" these days, not good business.
Sincerely,
Erin Kotecki Vest

The real terrorists work at FOX news...they only have power when someone gives it to them. I am sorry that Dunkin Donuts has seen fit to give them the power by pulling the ad. What next? No more mustaches and dark glasses on men because you look like a terrorist? Get a life Malkin!
Nobody said Rachael Ray was a terrorist. An annoying moonbat, yes, but not a terrorist.
It's not the scarf that's the problem. It's the sound that comes out every time she opens her mouth.
Yah, cuz paying $10 a gallon for over-roasted burnt coffee or bottled tap water is OK, but $4 a gallon for gasoline isn't!!!!
Talk about comparing apples and asphalt. Gasoline is handled in bulk, like being transported in a tanker truck or by pipeline. Do you know how much water costs when it's delivered by pipeline? Like under a penny per gallon or something.
"Just don't ever expect me to buy a cup of your coffee again."
I'm with you. And can't Michelle Malkin be deported for some reason or another?
Yeah Erin, strike a blow against the powers that be by continuing to patronize Starbuck's...
America has been having a freedom fries moment for years.
This makes me wish that I was a donut eater so that I could stop going to Dunkin Donuts again. Oh well, I guess that I'll just have to stay away from them for both my physical and mental health this time.
And it wasn't even a keffiyeh. It was a black and white paisley pattern with a fringe on it.
