Or why the McCain camp is ignoring Michelle Malkin. Didn’t she get canned from Fox News too?

While I agree this is ridiculous because her scarf looks simply like a scarf, I’d like to play the devel’s advocate. 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!
Hello Betty, I think you should have stopped at her scarf looks simply like a scarf. Its not a swastika or a keffiyah, so the rest of your comment rings hollow.
Having just come back from a Muslim country, I do see the semblance. But I honestly think it’s overreaction. You don’t see it unless you want to see it.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
