Rachel Ray: Perky celebrity chef or militant Islamic extremist

This is the iced coffee of the revolution.

Thank God we have Michelle Malkin, the same person who wrote a book called “In Defense of Internment” about Japanese Americans in World War Two, to tell us that Rachel Ray is killing America.

Dunkin’ Donuts pulled a television spot featuring talk show host and Food Network personality Rachael Ray this weekend after a Fox news commentator associated it with terrorists.

In the ad, Ray is wearing a scarf that Michelle Malkin said in her nationally syndicated column resembled a kiffiyeh, Middle Eastern garb that is “popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos.”

Dunkin’s Senior Vice President for Communications Margie Myers issued a statement saying the scarf “was selected by a stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended.

“However, as of this past weekend, we are no longer using the online ad because the possibility of misperception detracted from its original intention to promote our iced coffee.”

In her column, Malkin also noted that it could appear at times that actor Colin Farrell, rapper Kanye West and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean have been photographed in similar scarves that were “distinctive hate couture.”

Dammit, Michelle. Leave the girl alone so she can make a damn 30 Minute Meal, squeak a few laughs, say the word “sammie” a million times and call it a day.
