Conservatively Correct Politics

Rachel Ray's "Dunkin Donuts" commercial gets pulled because Michelle Malkin (who is dumber than a bag of hammers and meaner than a rattlesnake) thinks she is wearing a an Arab Keffiyeh.

One would laugh at dumb-ass posturing like this except it is all in deadly earnest. Worse it is nothing new, after all back at the height of the Korean War, the Cincinnati Reds very seriously debated changing the team name to something less provocative".
It also exposes the conservative right's own native ability to clog thr debate with useless blather about cultural signifiers and "speech codes".
