politically correct conservatives

Right-wing nut Michelle Malkin, who wrote a book defending the internment of Japanese citizens during WWII, has successfully bullied Dunkin Donuts into dropping an ad she claims demonstrated solidarity with terrorists. Seriously.

So it was with some dismay that I learned last week that Dunkin Donuts’ spokeswoman Rachael Ray, the ubiquitous TV hostess, posed for one of the company’s ads in what appeared to be a black-and-white keffiyeh.

The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad.

I’m no fan of “murderous Palestinian jihad,” and I don’t know Rachael Ray, but I’m guessing her choice of accessory had little to do with the Gaza Strip.

Not that Malkin cares; the Coulter wannabe is employing the same kind of thuggery attributed to the PC crowd, manufacturing outrage while ignoring intent.

At least now she can return her focus to more pressing matters, such as Barack Obama’s *refusal to wear an American flag lapel pin.

*Turns out Obama caved. Instead, he should’ve found the biggest, most garish flag lapel pin on the market, worn it daily and then questioned the patriotism of those donning less prominent pins.
