Dunkin' Donuts cowers in the face of neocon intimidation

Seems that their spokesperson in their latest ad campaign was wearing a scarf that looked, well, a bit too Arab:

Critics, including conservative commentator Michelle Malkin, complained that the scarf wrapped around her looked like a kaffiyeh, the traditional Arab headdress. Critics who fueled online complaints about the ad in blogs say such scarves have come to symbolize Muslim extremism and terrorism.

The kaffiyeh, Ms. Malkin wrote in a column posted online last Friday, “has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad. 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.”

Riiight. She wore a scarf that looked a bit like ones that Arabs might wear. Therefore, she doesn't hate Arabs, therefore she must be an anti-Semite. I think that's how those people's minds work, anyhow. From here.
