Posted By: Russell Date: 6/2/08 9:16a.m. Report: outside forum guidelines Rachael Ray likely had nothing political in mind when she wrapped a paisley scarf around her neck for a recent Dunkin Donuts commercial. How was she to know that paisley scarves were soon to join the right wing's hate list, along with bicycles, nuance, and the Bill of Rights? Fortunately for America, Michelle Malkin was hard at work. If Rachael Ray pulled that scarf up over her head, cut off its fringe, held it down with a headband, and grew a beard, she would be the spitting image of Yassir Arafat. And we all know how important appearances are to national security. Had Dunkin Donuts been allowed to pursue its dastardly plan, soon kids across America would be reading the Quran as they chubbed out on jelly-filled donuts. Malkin declared a boycott of Dunkin Donuts. The company quickly came to their red, white, and blue sense. And pulled the offending commercial. (Click the link for article.) Yes, I'm rolling on the deck laughing.

STILL sitting at the lunch counter Robb?? LOL -- Francois -- 6/2/08 11:44a.m.

I see (and should have known) that you are one of the above mentioned "morons" -- Robb, Great Dane 28, Yankee Dolphin, Lake Superior -- 6/2/08 12:20p.m.

Your views on McCarthy negate your attempt to promote historical accuracy. -- Noemi - Ensenada 20 -- 6/2/08 12:39p.m.

No matter how one-sided and closed-minded your views are, Noemi, you must -- Robb, Great Dane 28, Yankee Dolphin, Lake Superior -- 6/2/08 3:14p.m.

ROTFLMAO -- Francois -- 6/2/08 3:37p.m.

Your lack of knowledge on almost every issue is astonishing! How far did you get -- Robb, Great Dane 28, Yankee Dolphin, Lake Superior -- 6/2/08 3:59p.m.

Never got his grade 10 -- Patrick C27 Whittier Ak -- 6/2/08 6:37p.m.

I suspect McCarthy was genuinely concerned about communist influence... -- Russell -- 6/2/08 4:32p.m.

Actually, we have a slam dunk icon. What we need is rolling eyes icon. -- Russell -- 6/3/08 5:46a.m.

What's the other side to the Trinity United Church of Christ? -- Russell -- 6/3/08 5:08a.m.

The other side is MAYBE Obama doesn't adhere to Rev. Wright's beliefs, but then -- Robb, Great Dane 28, Yankee Dolphin, Lake Superior -- 6/3/08 7:23a.m.

The question wasn't about Obama. The question was about the church. -- Russell -- 6/3/08 7:45a.m.

The church is ONLY important as it relates to Obama. Asking about the other side -- Robb, Great Dane 28, Yankee Dolphin, Lake Superior -- 6/3/08 8:30a.m.

Or more accurately, as it relates to making attack material against Obama. -- Russell -- 6/3/08 10:31a.m.

America did not treat blacks badly. -- Alan Russell -- 6/3/08 4:36p.m.

By that logic, America didn't suffer the Great Depression or land on the moon. -- Russell -- 6/3/08 4:43p.m.

I don't hold him guilty of campaign workers opinions. -- Alan Russell -- 6/3/08 5:16p.m.

So you also take no pride in America's accomplishments where you played no role? -- Russell -- 6/3/08 6:54p.m.

Not reallly. -- Alan Russell -- 6/4/08 4:56a.m.

Come on Russell...Wright says America is run by "rich white people" and then -- Robb, Great Dane 28, Yankee Dolphin, Lake Superior -- 6/3/08 6:18p.m.

White America DID use blacks as guinea pigs. So your parallel is bogus.... -- Russell -- 6/3/08 6:51p.m.

I know all about the Tuskegee experient. Tell me Russell did "White America" -- Robb, Great Dane 28, Yankee Dolphin, Lake Superior -- 6/3/08 7:17p.m.

Right. An entirely isolated event. -- Russell -- 6/3/08 8:47p.m.

So I take it that you agree with Wright that the U.S. government invented AIDS -- Robb, Great Dane 28, Yankee Dolphin, Lake Superior -- 6/3/08 9:29p.m.

You say so, despite the fact I've labeled that as error every time it comes up? -- Russell -- 6/4/08 5:43a.m.

We should be ashamed that these things happened here. -- Alan Russell -- 6/4/08 5:13a.m.

Attitudes are subtle. Look at attempts today to deny history. -- Russell -- 6/4/08 6:31a.m.

Ask a Black in the 1970's about interracial marriage and a same or higher -- Robb, Great Dane 28, Yankee Dolphin, Lake Superior -- 6/4/08 7:51a.m.

As much as you desire it, race isn't going to be the issue in this campaign. -- Russell -- 6/4/08 7:56a.m.

Oh no?...then why do 95% of Black democrats support Obama ...don't be so -- Robb, Great Dane 28, Yankee Dolphin, Lake Superior -- 6/4/08 8:19a.m.

I what recent history did the US goverment infect blacks with aids? -- Alan Russell -- 6/4/08 10:12a.m.

None. But of what relevance is that to the question raised? -- Russell -- 6/4/08 10:30a.m.

As "isolated" means "one" or "very few", then YES, the Tuskegee Experient was -- Robb, Great Dane 28, Yankee Dolphin, Lake Superior -- 6/4/08 10:52a.m.

"Isolated" as in "disconnected from other misdeeds reflecting similar views." -- Russell -- 6/4/08 11:10a.m.

So is it racist to say blacks are uneducated? -- Alan Russell -- 6/4/08 11:38a.m.

It should be obvious that it depends on the context. -- Russell -- 6/4/08 11:51a.m.

So then dumb negros shouldn't be an offensive statement? -- Alan Russell -- 6/4/08 12:42p.m.

http://english.pravda.ru/mailbox/22/98/387/12429_Iraq.html -- dave -- 6/2/08 1:00p.m.
