I swear you can't make this shit up. When I first heard this story I thought it was a joke so I was afraid to blog about it and take the risk of falling victim to a satirical spoof. But on further review, I have found it to be true. Yes, Michelle Malkin, that famous wingnut with the sharp tongue and frail physique, has taken issue with the latest ad. campaign from Donkin Donuts.
Seems Rachel Ray, to the shock and horror of all of our wingnut friends, decided to wear a "keffiyeh" in her promotional ad. for the rather large coffee chain. "Jihad Chic", "hate couture" she [Michelle] is calling it. What is the republic coming to when people can actually get away with wearing this stuff? What will they do next, wear Fidel style shirts or smoke Cuban cigars? Folks if we are not careful, before we know it, this country that we love so much will fall to the influences of those evil folks on the left. People who want to bring us down and tear down the very fabric of our democracy.....And to think this all started with the sale of some donuts.
I honestly do not know where this came from. I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about all things ideological and political that goes on around me. But this one kind of came out of nowhere. I guess I shouldn't be surprised though, the wingnuts will find anything to rally around these days. Lord knows they need a cause. Things have been better for my friends on the right.
"Ahhh come on field, don't you do the same thing when you see negative and stereo typical images used in the media to portray black people? " Not quite the same thing. Now if I did an entire post ranting about the cones (the same shape as Klan hoods) that the road crews use during highway construction because they want to send negative subliminal messages to black motorist, then you would have a point. I mean that is the only analogy I can use to compare to Michelle's ridiculous stretch. Of course some of Hillary's people have been saying the same thing about you Obamaholics lately; that you are making some serious and questionable connections between what goes on this political season, and attaching some nefarious intentions to it to hurt the "O" man. Sorry Hillary lovers, I am not buying that either. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.
Sorry wingnuts, this one ain't quacking, and it sure as hell doesn't look like a duck to me.

Why oh WHY do these "social commentators" continue to perpetrate like they're informing us when they're just part of the mass distraction machine? That chick could get Honorary House Negress of the Day anyday with some of the invective she spits. Anyways, I'm not sure if she's been to NYC in a while, but those keffiyehs have been all over NYC, and probably in many other metropolitan areas, in different patterns and even colors. Yet, the only terrorists in this discussion are those that distract us from the real issues like the war going on within and outside this nation.
This really is one of the stupidest things I've seen from the Malkinites and that is SAYING something. Rachel Ray is a jihadist? I just did a spit take on my keyboard.
Just damn.
Jose is right, keffyehs are worn all around the city, and think you can buy them for $5 or $10. I owned myself some years ago. Michelle doesn't have anything else to do with life. I think here is some self-loathing on her part, and can't imagine that she is a happy individual. Perhaps she is the product of a person who doesn't focus on her own shortcomings, but more than happy to focus on others. She needs Buddha, and following one of the principles of using the right speech. She is a miserable and unkind person.
Why does that woman have a career in the first place?
Look out, she has basil meatballs!!!! On the other hand, those guys that killed the cop in Philly were cross-dressing as Islamic chicks.
Argh! Can we talk about the Paul v. Clinton case that has been virtually shut out of discussion in the caucasian corporate media and most of the blogsphere? And what about the DNC not giving state blog credentials to enough Black, Latino or Asian bloggers.

Shyt Michelle Malkin, I say let's boycott Wall Street for using Arabic numbers.
Algebra comes from the Arabic treatise, Kitab al-Jabr wa-l-Muqabalathat. One must be suspicious of all those 'A' making high school algebra students, too.
`
Field that nut used to set in for Bill O'reliy. I guess he found out she was a true nut so he had to let her go.
NSangoma, who really knows for sure about that? Some say advanced math comes from India and that the Arabic alphabet came from what is now Lebanon. And both predate Mohammad so what's your point anyway? Islam hasn't helped those people at all, it's just stopped them from advancing. Go to the library and read the National Geographic mag from February. It's about black people in the Sudan 5000 years ago. Very cool read.
Good pick up Field. Right now this seems a little harmless but its another drop in the bucket of hatemongering that surely to be stirred up as times get harder and these folks running things find it harder to fool folks about the real source of our problems.
The anti-immigrant hysteria which you exposed in your last blog is also a sign of things to come. The point is to point the finger at your neighbor rather than the folks who are really hording the wealth and making folks miserable.
Field, you're talking about people with the intellect of. . . well, working class WVirginians. The people who swallow this sort of hate speach are ignorant uneducated xenophobic morons. Who cares aboutthem?
Oh, wait, they make up huge part of the Amukkkan population. . .
You want to know a little fact about Michelle Malabangadingdong?
She doesn't write her own columns.
It seems her hubby, Jesse Malabangadingdong, does all the writing and Michelle just adds her name to them.
But hey, it pays better than working as a cocktail waitress at the lounge at Dulles Int'l Airport.
You know, I always wondered about the cones. Notice how aggressively they line them up? It's as if they want to herd us. And, I think the color is a smokescreen ... :-D
But hey, it pays better than working as a cocktail waitress at the lounge at Dulles Int'l Airport.
Or as a cheerleader at a strip club near Dulles Airport, considering her lack of athleticism is sadly on display on YouTube.
Malkin's really losing it. She needs some good dick in her life. That'll shut her up.
Soldiers use those things too, Michelle Moron. Or are you calling our troops terrorist sympathizers?
She's popular because she's pretty to some people.
I have a keffiyeh. Been wearing every winter for the past 15 years. Now they're trendy from the gap. Coming in purple and fusia colors.
The right wing nuts set the bar so far out into the atmosphere that I just don't know what the left wing--I mean the center--could do to counter it. I really like your protest against cones, Field--that would be a start! But we'd have to be so shameless as to start protesting road work and boycotting whoever makes those cones and whoever owns whoever makes the cones, and I don't think we could be consistently shameless enough to pull that off. If not--even though I know you're joking--I'd be all for it! The "right" has been pushed so far right that a centrist looks like a leftist to the vast majority of Americans, and that's a sad shame. But I know that Malkin's position isn't even conservative, it's just hateful.
In what context is posting that picture of lynching victims as a parody a good ideal? None. How disgraceful.
Malkin is trippin.
I really dislike Ms. Rachel "EVOO!" Ray. Ray is clueless about cooking (which has made her very rich) so why would Malkin think Ray puts that much thought into her outfits?
You know this seems like a trivial thing, and it is, but not in the larger context. I dont even mean that in terms of racism either. What are the roles of a conservatives like Malkin, O'Reilly, Hannity and Limbaugh? Their roles are to propagate ideas, any ideas, that benefit the ruling class. What are some of those ideas?
Racism is handy because it pits us against each other, and keeps us from working together against our common enemy, the ruling class. This particular kind of racism helps because it builds racist support (or indifference) for a coming war against Iran (or 100 years in Iraq).
Wingnuts are paid to mislead people and keep our frustrations misplaced. All of them make tons of money from the corporate interests they serve. Ever wonder why there are no truly left-wing counterparts? There are no corporations to pay them.
These tactics may not work on us, but thats what liberals are for, to mislead the inteligent people who see problems in society. Obama is among them. He wants 100,000 more troops. What do people think he wants them for? I'm a black man and part of me feels good about his impending presidency, but lets be real, the president has a job to do, and it doesn't have shit to do with spreading democracy or any of that other bullshit they teach us in school. He has the job of securing resources for the American ruling class. Tha probably means war, because China and the EU aren't gonna just stand by and do nothing.
Not surprising - the usual suspects are at it again.
An inane blog entry on this board was used to point to an inane blog entry on the Malkin board.
Prime the pump for attack on one of those evil "Right Wingnuts".
Hey Field-Negro - as I was watching the only thing worthy on MSNBC - their Prison series in which they highlight various correctional facilities - I saw the new commercial where they showcased their election line up of commentators.
Keith Olbermann was doing the voice over for the commercial. Get this Field-Negro - Keith Olberman said something to the effect of "America must come together in order to move forward. We must put aside our partisanship and do what is best for the country".
I doubt that Michelle Malkin has posted anything on her blog that can top this for being a total contradiction of what the author has in his or her soul.
MSNBC does a good service in their overview of America's penal institutions. This guy needs a straight jacket though.
Cons...feedback,I know this is a little close to home for you.Can't you talk to your friends on the right? And a prison show on MSNBC huh?Hmmm,OK I will leave that alone.
Chris thanks for that little bit of info.about our friend Ms.Malkin.I knew she was a fraud.
Anon 1:19AM. The context of that lynching picture? Because I feel like posting it.I am quite aware of the legacy of lynchings in this country.If the picture offends you that's too bad.Let's just hope that you are working hard to prevent those days from coming back.Let me guess, a Hillary supporter,right?
Field,
It's been so kick back 'round here the past couple of days without this (Un)Constructive Feedsack asshole loitering about causing trouble.
But I think I figured out his problem.
I clicked on his name and discovered the cat has all these blogs and no traffic so he shows up here for some ass whupping.
You know what they say: negative attention is better than no attention at all. Now that's some sick shit.

szechuanpork 10:44 PM, I wrote nought of the Arabic alphabet; I mentioned Arabic Numbers and Algebra.
The word algebra is a Latin variant of the Arabic word al-jabr. This came from the title of a book, Hidab al-jabr wal-muqubala, written in Baghdad about 825 A.D. by the Arab mathematician Mohammed ibn-Musa al-Khowarizmi.
The University of North Dakota
Actually, it is the decimal system not the Arabic numerals that may have been borrowed from the Ancient Indus Valley Civilizations (Harappa and Mohenjo Daro).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
History_of_the_Hindu-Arabic_numeral_system
Regardless, the numbers we use for our calculations are called Arabic Numbers.
All western scripts, including the Arabic script, are traced back to the script of KMT, the Ancient Egyptians; the Metu Neter, Greek name Hieroglyphics.

The oldest Nile Valley temples, tombs, use of the Metu Neter, are found in what is now called the Sudan.
Pre-Hieroglyphics, and proto-Hieroglyphics have been traced back to Central Africa.

You don't know how hard I try to stay on the level with you - avoiding taking shots at the most obvious characteristic that I could exploit about you. It's just not worth it though. Please don't equate me with "asshole" in any way if you don't mind. I'd like to protect mine from you.
Instead of talking about the RESPONSES on my blog line up - why not try and REFUTE anything that I say here or there? I get several hundred "peeps" per day but few comments. I don't receive validation of my views from the number of people who bother to comment.
Since I am such a "mental lightweight" you should have no problem handling me.
Field you said: "When I first heard this story I thought it was a joke so I was afraid to blog about it and take the risk of falling victim to a satirical spoof". You just did that. In obama s words, come on naw field you are better than that, you know better. Those f**&&%g idiots at the right are trying to associate wearing a traditional arabic, islamic piece of clothing to being a member of some sort of a sleeper cell. It was worn before western jews went to palestine and founded israel. By the way, it is more of a fashion trend than anything else field. I am a bit surprised you fell for those right wing idiots on this "horrific symbol of terrorism and hate". Hate and fear, hmmmmm who loves to hate and capitalize on fear the most. I ll let you answer that one field.
Peace out ( hope that is not a sign for the black panthers movement)
The Right has run out of steam. They know it's their season to sit out. So they'll feed their base tiny bits of indignities until they can find a Reaganesque candidate to rally around.
I tried to make sense of the comparision. I tried my best. Until I came to the realization that no sense can be made of something as ridiculous as this. For some reason, whenever I read or hear about things like this, it tends to make me fallback on something Nostradamus once said: the 'great country' will one day fall due to it's morals.
Also, I really appreciate you for even taking the time to read anything written on my blog. You just don't know how appreciated it made me feel seeing that you took notice. That respect, words cannot define. Me and blogger Muze recently spoke about how well-written, smart, and informing your blog is.
Thank you.
Ok... cause I find it impossible to comment about inane shit.... Here is a story that is related, kinda, maybe... but in a good way... now, Michelle could have a field day with this one (pun intended!-;) also, you will not see this story in our msm. From Al-Jazeera:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Israeli award goes to Palestinians
A US scientist has donated his share of an Israeli mathematics award to a Palestinian university and students.
Professor David Mumford of Brown University in Rhode Island said he was donating part of his $33,333 portion of the Wolf Foundation Prize for Mathematics to Bir Zeit university in the West Bank.
"I decided to donate my share of the Wolf Prize to enable the academic community in occupied Palestine to survive and thrive," Mumford told Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper.
"I am very grateful for the prize, but I believe that Palestinian students should have an opportunity to go elsewhere to acquire an education," he told the newspaper.
"Students in the West Bank and Gaza today do not have an opportunity to do that."
Studies abandoned
Israel has banned most Palestinians from leaving the Gaza Strip for years.
The move has forced hundreds of Palestinian students to abandon or postpone university studies outside the small territory.
Israel's separation barrier, in many places an eight-metre-high concrete wall, has also made it even harder for Palestinians to travel across the West Bank.
Israel says "security considerations" are the reason for the travel restrictions and the barrier's construction.
Ilan Pilo, the chief executive of the Wolf Foundation, said the foundation "does not get involved in how prize winners use the money they receive".
The foundation awards prizes of up to $100,000 "to outstanding scientists and artists for achievements in the interest of mankind and friendly relations among peoples," according to its website.
The foundation presents five or six annual prizes which are often shared.
'Education for all'
The Israel-based foundation was established by Ricardo Wolf, a German-born inventor, diplomat and philanthropist who was Cuba's representative to Israel, where he died in 1981.
Mumford, who won his award for his work on algebraic theory, shared this year's award with Pierre Deligne and Phillip Griffiths, both from Princeton University in the US.
The professor said he did not see himself as a political person, but was motivated by his belief that academic study should be available to all.
"Higher education, access to mathematical knowledge, is something that should be shared and should be accessible to everyone."
Get used to it. She is the new reality of journalism (I know of what I speak here; I teach it) just as our new intellectuals are phonies like Dyson, and our entertainment benchmarks are Miss Rap Supreme. Until there's a tipping point (and even Gladwell says that's not likely in mass media), fanatics and trivial fools will rule.
Sorry.
Malkin is just trying to stay relevant. McCain does some sort of conference with conservative bloggers and she's not on the list. Her feelings are hurt so she's just looking for attention. Btw, did you see the pic of McCain's daughter wearing one of those keffyehs? I guess Michele missed that.
NSangoma, good point. Thanks for correcting me.

You are an idiot. There is nothing about lynching that is a parody dumbass. Let those white folk get away with their racism using you as their tool stupid. When Obama loses will you be able to tell which white folks were the "good" ones and which ones were the "bad" ones. That picture came from an Obama supporter. Using black folk misery is okay if it promotes a black man? WTF? You would not care about that though since you are from the island and act better than AA here in America who had family members lynched. Sell out house negro. Look in the mirror sometimes.
Like I said, sex doesn't sell anymore. As the world gets scarier, we al retreat to fundamentalism of some sort. Now it's hype and lunacy thats sells--in entertainment, in news and politics. They are all one. Welcome to idiocracy. Indeed, we need to be more like Justice John Paul Paul Stevens (played by a dude whom I thought was dead, William Shallert...Patty Duke's TV dad) in HBO's "Recount."
Taking my summer sabbatical. Please buy "The Darker Mask," Field. Till late June, in the words of Edward R Murrow: "Good night and good luck."

I may go out on a limb and guess who this is, Field. Or I could be wrong. Either way, I'm gonna wait until Anon writes more then I'll tell who this is. Also, Jamaicans got lynched to Anon because slavery was in Jamaica! Whose the dumbass?
Ha, Ha!
@Constructive
It would seem that some people won't talk to you because you are an intellectual light-weight.
Does an adult get into a fight with a sickly, mentally challenged eight year old and call it a dust up or does that adult look for a real fight? That's why I stopped posting to your blogs. Your initial argument with me was weak from the get-go. "Am I empowering capitalism by using the Internet to put out my ideas?"
Weak. Ask if the organizers in Seattle in '99 during the WTO if using technology was a backwards idea.
Weak.
You know who I think you really are? I think you're Desmond Burton of Afronerd. You both do that repetitive Rain Man thing where you repeat the same stuff over again to either make it stick in your own head so it will be "true" to you if not others and you also try to do anything to get traffic for your 6 blogs.
Oh Fuck, well I guess Michele Malkintwit never heard of a piece of fashion called a scarf.
Many times I have thought of neo-cons as adolescent teenagers and cheer leaders and then Malkin does THIS!....
http://youtube.com/watch?v=tt_YcQlYxyY
you have to see it to believe it. This woman is truly a neo-con and about as dumb as they come.

Constructive, when I read that, at first, I thought, "What 'obvious characteristic' is he talking about?"
And then I read the next couple of sentences and all I have to say is, Oh, NO you didn't! You follow up a comment with some ad hominem, homophobic nonsense? Dude. Seriously. How do you expect ANYONE to take you seriously when you come at people with half-baked craziness?
"You follow up a comment with some ad hominem, homophobic nonsense?"
Yes, his comment and his obsession with prison shows speaks volumes to me. Yep, I think he IS Desmond Burton!!
Michelle Malkin can't seem to get her mind around the fact that, "she is not white"!!!!
Darell you said a mouth full!
WTF is up with this shit?

brotherkomrade:
Of course, brotherkomrade - as if I was expecting YOU to approve of my "intellectual skills".
The fact remains, having looked through your various posts it is you who is out of touch with his own abstract ideology.
You (and several others on this blog) condemn the very system that you make full use of.
It is interesting that you set the standard upon me to prove to you that you are a co-conspirator in a system that you hate.
I suspect that you stopped debating with me because it is you that have an argument based on quicksand.
@Roger:
It is interesting that the attacks that Christopher has rained upon me did not cause you any problems. I am supposed to just sit back and take it, right? Notice I had not called him any names. I picked apart his slanderous arguments against others.
Regarding me being taken serious on THIS BOARD Roger........why would I hand over my self-worth to you and brotherkomrade?
I would rather have you all pick my arguments apart as - lies, misrepresentations or fiction.
Instead - the name calling and tag teaming substitutes for critical debate.
I am still glad that this system of capitalism has provided us with the financing for this global network and all of the valuable resources attached to it that allows us to converse relatively anonymously. In your economic system we'd be all in a room talking to ourselves.
Step your game up son.
I'm looking at an Italian WWII propaganda poster. It features a beasty, drunk-looking black soldier, arm draped over a Venus de Milo statue, with $2 scrawled across it -- a reference to the "cultural barbarism" of the US and allies. IF you really think the Bill and Hillary at a lynching photo is funny, I'm sure you'd find this hilarious.
What crap!

Now go back to your bat cave.
Cons..feedback, so you are a homophobe AND a wingnut. I guess the two go hand in hand.
Oooh. Touchy, touchy! And so full of judgement. How do you get homophobe out of my comments? You sound like an asshole. And assholes are assholes, regardless of race or creed. Me, I'm a liberal-humanist, left wing, atheist... which I sure, in your limited book, makes me an asshole, too. Who cares?!
Rojo,
I think field was referring to Constructive Feedback...

RhondaCoca don't EVER do that again! You e-mail me next time in red and alert me that there is a Lark sighting!!!
There are certain things in life that should not be played with, and that's one of them.
SO, they pulled the ad. It's a pity that donuts, like donut companies have no back bone.
CoyoteFe that line about the donuts is classic!They pulled the ad.? WTF? Okay, that settles it. No more DD for me.
Field, I'm not sure about where you live, but in my region of the country, DD is actually looked upon as one of the pinnacles of coffee places. We finally got some decent joints in recent years, but I'm guessing you have more to choose from in Philly. But here? You won't see anyone giving up DD for any reason, not even being complete pushovers to the maniacal wing of the conservative blogosphere. That's how much they love it. Sad, really.
I wrote about this also on my blog . . . this is just one of those things that really makes me wanna HOLLA. What a shame! For both Malkin and Dunkin Donuts.
Cool blog as for me. I'd like to read a bit more about this matter. Thank you for giving that data.

What do u expect from a woman who is unsure of her own heritage and in deep denial? She is jealous of what Michelle and Barak have, she is upset about any caveman who dislikes her or ignores her, so her only saving grace is to act like a house negress
For eons of time she has been trying to entice some small penis who would be willing to become involved in her verbal assaults on anyone whom she has a slat picker with. Ho hum
i submit that she along with Michelle Bachman, lying go along to get along Nikki Haley, manish looking Anne Coulter, and i can see Russia, Sarah Palin would do well get together and compare notes esp about their MEN! ))))))))) lmao
