I didnt tihnk there was anyone out there narrow minded enough to think that wearing a scarf constitutes support for terrorism. I feel like banging my head against a brick wall.
Do these people know anytign about the world outside america? or that there is even a worldoutside america...

Some observers, including ultra-conservative Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin, were so incensed by the ad that there was even talk of a Dunkinâ Donuts boycott.
ââThe keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad,ââ Malkin yowls in her syndicated column.
I'd say Ms. Malkin's the clueless one.
Side note: from where I'm standing, muslim zealots and "ultra-conservatives" like Ms. Malkin look strangely alike.
Another side note: "Palestinian jihad"? Hm. I'll give it to her, she's good at spinning. (The Palestinians motives are not primarely religious, I mean. Using the word "jihad" is a quick and easy way to discredit their struggle against oppression.)

Beyond ridiculous, more than sad!
I'm curious to know what she says about Scott M's new book...but not enough to go looking :`)

One of the more ridiculous things I have come across lately.
Scott

I admit, I'm ignorant, but who's Scott M?

Scott McClellan, Bush's former press secretary, let loose a book yesterday: âWhat Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washingtonâs Culture of Deceptionâ
Whatahoot!

Politics ... a dirty business, thats why the swines are doing it.

Thank G-d for Fox News and their vigilant stance protecting me,
We're all able to sleep a little safer tonight knowing that last doughnut we scarfed aint gonna blow our bowels to smithereens.
Whoofah and to think I almost stopped at my local DD this very afternoon.

TBH I think you cannot really comment on this without seeing just how much the headscarf is inspired by the keffiyeh. If it is a new fashion completely taken from copying styles taken from Muslin terrorists and people like Yasser Arrafat then I can understand why there is a backlash against it.
Does anyone have a picture of the headscraf, or know of any designers who are producing it?
On another level, Michelle Malkin may be a bit of a loon, but she's a hottie loon.

the print is paisley

are you kidding me? that is supposed to look like she's a terrorist!?!?!
btw, nice one solo.who thinks that all the lawers (and their customers) need to take a chill pill?
-
Are you sure it wasn't the fashion police that protested, because that's hideous!
After seeing that scarf, I have to agree with everyone who is stunned over this nonsense.

Thanks for the info. I gotta get me that one. I'm truly keen to know more 'bout group dynamics within the Bush administration.

From the Las Angeles Times: "Um, for Malkin -- who is beyond clueless -- the kaffiyeh has been worn by many a Parisian grad student and dozens of celebrities -- including Colin Farrell, David Beckham, Kirsten Dunst and both Olsen twins.
The scarf even showed up on the Balenciaga runway (right) and later sold for more than $1,000."
That's terror: $1,000 bucks for a scarf...

i just realized! thats also extremely racist!!!!!! OMFG! they think that it looks like a muslim head dress and there for supports terrorism?!?!?! that is by far the most racist thing i have ever heard!!!!! right now i just want to shoot all the lawers that made this happen. i know violence isnt the answer, but waht was the question?
