Meghan McCain's 'Terrorist' Fashion Statement

Today, Dunkin' Donuts announced that it will pull a new ad featuring Rachel Ray based on complaints from conservative Fox News pundit Michelle Malkin, who accused Ms. Ray of promoting a symbol of the "murderous Palestinian jihad." Glazed peanut-topped crullers? No, a keffiyeh.

A keffiyeh, for those who don't know, is a traditional Middle Eastern scarf popularized by the late Yasser Arafat. It has also been associated with terrorists, kidnappers and people who dance through the streets with burning T-shirts. Since the late 1980s, however, this scarf has been a popular fashion accessory. Last checked, you could still pick one up at Urban Outfitters.

Now, it's under attack by conservatives as being a symbol of the reckless and Godless liberal contingent. But, maybe not for long.

A savvy Gawker tipster surfing through the official McCain family blog has found pictures of the presidential candidate's daughter Meghan (pictured above) on the campaign trail wearing a keffiyeh. In front of her mom!
