Corporate America at it’s finest

Dunkin’ Donuts has apparently pulled an advertisement featuring Rachel Ray due to right-wing bloggers’ assertions that her wardrobe promotes terrorism. Now I don’t know about you, but I know a hell of a lot of women who wear similar looking scarves and have no ties to Muslim extremism.

More than anything, I am disappointed in Dunkin’ Donuts’ refusal to stand up to the BS. For the last seven years, any mention of “terrorism” or “unAmericanism” strikes the fear of the general public’s wrath in the hearts of corporations.

But who do these people represent? They represent a very small (but unfortunately powerful) subset of the American public. Most Americans don’t believe this crap, but the few that do have some serious pull. And it scares the hell out of me.
