Comments on: Terrorists are in the Kitchen Eating my Wife’s Jam http://poliblogger.com/?p=13726 A rough draft of my thoughts...

They're just exposing themselves as being biased & racist by going overboard on the Dunkin Donuts ad.

Here's what I found: http://arago4.tnw.utwente.nl/stonedead/albums-cds/sketches/another-monty-python-record/gumby-theatre-book-at-bedtime.html "Michael Palin : Hello I am just listening to this record with my wife and our au-pair and I’d like to say how shocked we are that a pleasant collection of Norwegian folk songs should be turned into an excuse for communist propaganda of the shoddiest kind. What’s gone wrong with the world. I can’t even take a bath without 6 or 7 communists jumping in with me. They’re in my shirt cupboard and Breshnev and Kosegan are in the kitchen now eating my wife’s jam. Oh they are cutting off my legs. I can see them peeping out of my wife’s blouse. Why doesn’t Mr Maulding do something about it before it is to late. Ohhhh….God…" What's especially amusing is the original quote is also complaining about hidden communist messages in a commercial product. I can never resist a Google challenge. Here’s what I found:

Indeed, it is my understanding that some our own troops in Afghanistan wear them. the whole thing is ridiculous and clearly xenophobic. Along those lines I would recommend <a href="http://www.electricvenom.com/middle-east-bites/sometimes-a-scarf-is-just-a-scarf/" rel="nofollow">this post</a> at Electric Venom.

We must remember symbols have always represented an important part of all cultures throughout time. Had Rachel Ray worn a swastika arm band or white hood the world would have been appalled. I am amazed that certain forms of dress have become en vogue. As an expatriate from the U.S. it disturbs me that we can be so insensitive especially after 911 and I can only attribute this to ignorance. For many of us living elsewhere in the world, we see up close what these symbols represent. These organizations and governments actively support the suppression of women, the banning of freedom of religion and speech, and the tacit acceptance of violence against innocent human beings all in the name of a cause or belief. Have we become so P.C. that we refuse to tell the truth or are we somehow hoping that our own human/democratic values are also shared by all? Read, listen and observe. Actions always speak louder than words. Remember, symbols are powerful messages! While I agree this is ridiculous because her scarf looks simply like a scarf, I’d like to play the devil’s advocate.

I sort of consider them a pretty reliable barometer of nutty overreaction, although Johnson is usually much less paranoid (he's pretty rough on the paranoid right in most cases). That Michelle Malkin includes Meghan McCain in her rant is no surprise; she IS the daughter of the terrorist- and NAU/Reconquista-loving scary <del>John McCain</del> "Juan McAmnesty," after all. /eyeroll the only people who are offended in this context are people like Malkin, Johnson and Geller.
