I believe a slice of white bread has more in its soul to commit a terrorist act then her….
Now that cook that says “BAM!” all the time…
“Now that cook that says “BAM!” all the time…”
Akshuly, they’re BOTH very irritating. I wuv those crazies on “Ace of Cakes” and Pauwa Deen. I wish she were my sister…or cousin…
Agreed. I like Rachel Ray and everything, but Ace of Cakes is way better. o_o
My roommate enjoys watching Paula Dean, just to see how much butter she’ll use in the next recipe. “First, you take a stick of butter. And then you eat it!”
You forgot…”First, you take a stick of butter, then you wrap it in bacon, then you deep-fry it in melted beef fat, and THEN you eat it.”
Sounds tasty.
BOOGABOOGABOOGA! I drink starbucommunism coffee!
Really? “starbucommunism”? Do you know what communism means? I’d say any CORPORATION that seizes the means of production like Starbucks does isn’t very marxist at all. Personally, I think you just use the phrase “communism” and “communist” to describe things that are evil, and I hope you never use it to describe something like Starbucks again.
Jebus, pinko Steve, chill. Besides, it was an ad for Dunkin’ Donuts anyhow.
Communism means mass murder, oppression, exploitation, torture, poverty and class privilege.
Actually, communism doesn’t mean those things any more than capitalism does. It’s human nature that brings on all those things, regardless of what economic, religious, or political system it’s functioning in.
Not so!
Those things don’t, as a rule, happen in democratic countries. But they *always* happen in Communist countries.
It’s a combination of human nature, and a political system that brings out the very worst of human nature.
Dude, you might want to look at the USA right now. Mass murder? Well, maybe not. Oppression? Check. Exploitation? Check. Torture? Check. Poverty? Check. Class privilege? Check.
Just sayin’.
Well, most of these are a result of business and corrupt public officials not the form of government. Wait a few elections and it will change, in communism t won’t. Also poverty is an unsolvable problem. The officials and activists rely on the poverty of their supporters to operate. Think about it, would Jesse Jackson have a job if he ended racism completely? No he wouldn’t. People in power always need a fear tactic to rally against. This truth can be exploited however. People may accuse someone who is against a real threat of doing it for the politics of fear.
PS, class privilege always will exist, utopia is impossible.
Good lord, have you ever looked at American History? Or you know, the news?
Actually, we’ve got mass murder covered, too. It’s called Iraq.
it’s called the genocide of aboriginal peoples.
There was never any genocide of aboriginal peoples. There was war, and disease. That’s NOT mass murder or genocide.
giving the Native Americans small pox infested blankets is genocide. Forcibly relocating masses of population from their homes and marching them halfway across the country with countless deaths along the way is mass murder. And fyi, that was not the result of a war.
I’m charro and I approve this timely message.
That is true, but that is not what the ideals of communism is, and that’s what you were implying by prior sentences. Big fail.
Quack!
Except for the part where YOU’RE COMPLETELY WRONG.
I can give you a long list of countries under a nominally democratic system that engage in all sorts of abuses against their own people. It’s simply a matter of abusing the system, which is done by tyrants regardless of the system in place.
Really? Capitalism doesn’t produce oppression, exploitation, poverty, class privilege? What country are you living in? Better yet, what reality.
um… no. dictionary… use one.
Seconded!
History.
Read some.
Real History.
Recognize it.
I’m sure you’re a stuffy American who doesn’t want to admit all that the United States has done plenty worse than any communist country.
Concentration camps? We did that too.
Transporting illegal drugs in dead bodies (casualties of war at that)? You bet we did that.
Some of the worst racism ever? We own it.
If you want more examples of why our “democracy” is more messed up than any communist country, let me know… I’ve got plenty.
Try some real history yourself.
Start with Stalin’s Russia.
If you think anything the US has ever done, in its worst moments, can even come close — you’re simply delusional, and no rational argument can persuade you.
YAAAAY!!! We’re better than Stalinist Russia!!!!! What a great day this is!
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
/sarcasm
Dropping nukes and firebombs on civilians FTW!
Yeah, cause the genocide of the Native Americans AND the enslavement of Africans and the institutionalized, legalized racism–tickles.
…seriously, you have to stop. you sound like an You are sounding like an opinionated moron who has no understanding of history or politics beyond the chapter on ‘Stalinist Russia’ they just read (but didnt *really* understand).
sit down.
/\ sorry for random typo above /\
Killed 20 million of our own citizens? Nope. That was a communist country. Used all our money to buy weapons while our people starved? North Korea, another communist country has that covered.
Hahahahaha! Youarestilllost
In Communist Russia, dictionary refers you.
Sounds an awful lot like the early days of the South in the US…. you know, before that Civil War thing….
Communism is where man exploits man. Capitalism is the opposite.
I like it!
George Orwell reads punditkitchen?!
“Nihlists? F**k me. Say what you want about the tenets of national socialism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.”
Shut the f*** up, Donny.
Goodness… too bad they don’t have a shot of humor as a substitute for the espresso….
The only reason why people believe communism is bad is because people have made it bad. It’s actually a decent concept, everyone is too stupid to pull it off right, though.
Yeah.
The original idea of communism was supposed to be the ideal way to run a country. Of course, people are so… well… dickheaded they can’t pull it off. You need everyone to agree for communism to work. Unfortunately, never has EVERYONE ever agreed on anything.
Brilliant idea, true. And for all semi-fanatic capitalists out there: Find a non-partial explanation about what communism really is.
It really is a good idea, from a purely economic viewpoint. The human factor is what screws economic Utopia up so nicely.
That being said, I wouldn’t want it. Semi-socialism is ok ( It’s actually quite nice, from my experience), but communism would supress the individual, even (and perhaps in particular) if executed without flaw.
Incidentally, Marx himself was not a Marxist, just a political theorist. (some of his theories are obviously flawed if you consider a master craftsman and a klutz carrying out the same task.)
Thought it was “durka durka durka”…
ha! that’s what i was thinking!
america! F**k yeah!
She’s not a terrorist, because the terrorists can’t stand her either! She’s our weapon of mass food destruction! =D
And delicious meatballs!
more like “Mass food production”
People! She’s wearing PAISLEY!
She is SO a terrorist – of fashion!
Don’t you know… Paisley is like TOTALLY the new Jihad.
Totally!
Jihad? That’s soooo Ahkmed. (Best. LOL. Ever.)
Dang. I like paisley.
Oh no! You’re probably on a terrorist watch list now. Replace that paisley with a flag pin pronto!
OMG, did you all ever think that it might just be that she has a hickey and can’t show that? Haha, wow, that’s what most scarves/turtlenecks are used for!
This is teh brilliantest EVAR
I am reminded of a story my 6th grade English teacher read to us. The moral of the story was, “Anyone you or your wife thinks should get banished, ought to be.”
How pathetic is this story, anyhow?
huh? what kind of story WAS that?
The Very Proper Gander
by James Thurber
Not so very long ago there was a very fine gander. He was strong and smooth and beautiful and he spent most of his time singing to his wife and children. One day somebody who saw him strutting up and down in his yard and singing remarked, “There is a very proper gander.”
An old hen overheard this and told her husband about it that night in the roost. “They said something about propaganda,” she said. “I have always suspected that,” said the rooster, and he went around the barnyard next day telling everybody that the very fine gander was a dangerous bird, more than likely a hawk in gander’s clothing.
A small brown hen remembered a time when at a great distance she had seen the gander talking with some hawks in the forest. “They were up to no good,” she said. A duck remembered that the gander had once told him he did not believe in anything. “He said to hell with the flag, too,” said the duck.
A guinea hen recalled that she had once seen somebody who looked very much like the gander throw something that looked a great deal like a bomb. Finally everybody snatched up sticks and stones and descended on the gander’s house. He was strutting in his front yard, singing to his children and his wife.
“There he is!” everybody cried. “Hawk-lover! Unbeliever! Flag-hater! Bomb-thrower!” So they set upon him and drove him out of the country.
Moral: Anybody who you or your wife thinks is going to overthrow the government by violence must be driven out of the country.
I believe it’s called “satire”, and in this case there is a stated moral of the story is not the actual moral of the story, adding to the general confusion and merriment.
Communism, is in theory, utopia. Everyone works equally, and shares in the profits of said labor. No one rules, ruling is by consensus. In a true communist society, no one takes power, and on one covets what anyone else has… Because they already have it! Say right now you covet your neighbors Porshe… well, in a communist society, either you both would have one, or nobody does! Of course, theory and acuallity are two diffrent animals… There is a commune in Va. that has been around for more than 30yrs. They seem to do quiet well.
Yes, and the three people who live there just don’t talk to each other.
But seriously, human nature and the utopian ideal are at complete odds with each other. If we were able to suppress the desire for more and better, wouldn’t we all just become good little couch potatoes, and sit around eating junk food as our rears and the chairs became one?
Oh, wait, that sounds a lot like gov’t housing today.
oops.
Communism would be a perfect society, if it could be implemented properly. It’s just, being at odds with human nature makes that near impossible to actually achieve. Nothing wrong with the ideals, though.
Actually a perfect society would mostly be like a Kurt Vonnegut story called ‘Harrison Bergeron.’ If you’ve never read it, you should. Its about radical equality. Or more accurately rabid equality – and the true downfalls of it.
Also, to that person who said,
“Sounds an awful lot like the early days of the South in the US…. you know, before that Civil War thing….”
FTW on believing only what your grade-school text books taught you. The civil war was about taxes. Most slaves in the ‘oppressive’ south were actually ‘owned’ by other slaves. Fathers bought their sons – and had the ownership papers and kept them proudly. Doesn’t that make them ‘slave owners’? Before the War there were freed black men that would own their own farms and purchase slaves to run them – and they would run them just like the white-slave owners would.
I’m not defending slavery in any form, its a heinous crime and one that is currently punishable by death in some countries. Just don’t heap all the blame on the ‘south’ becuase that’s what you’ve been told to do. Read a book – and not just your highschool history book.
Harrison Bergeron is about equity, not equality. Giving everyone the same rights is equality. Giving everyone the same abilities is equity.
And I do realize this is an oversimplification, but there is a distinction.
Leave it up to the retarded conservatives to throw a fit about something that a chef is wearing around her neck.
Really, when have the things that we wear around our necks been so much more important than real issues? How about hunger in the US? How about Darfur?
None of these things seem important any more because ever pansy-ass conservative gets offended by something so small as this. No wonder our country is in the state it’s in. Pathetic.
To be fair, everyone is pretty touchy. I know several people who would get upset about the term “pansy-ass,” and they are hardly conservative.
I don’t see it myself, but I understand that the feeling is that this scarf is a symbol representing the Palestinians, and not the peace-loving branch of that family.
There are a lot of people who don’t understand the symbolism of the southern battle flag, or the Nazi cross.
Symbols can be very powerful.
I think this it more accurate.
The kaffiyeh is a symbol of Palestinian solidarity since the 1930s. But, it has also been a common accessory for hipster posers who wish to look as if they are…what, I’m not exactly sure. Anyone I’ve met wearing this that isn’t actually Palestinian (and I’ve met no one who is), usually doesn’t have an inkling of a clue of what the scarf represents.
Of course RR is not wearing a kaffiyeh. This is just a paisley scarf, handed to her by an overly-eager costumer who probably thought this would make her seem hip to the college crowd.
There’s an old saying that goes “never attribute to malice that which can easily explained by stupidity.” I believe this applies.
except where Malkin or the LGF crowd are concerned, and then you have the perfect storm of malice AND stupidity colliding on all fronts in a vast sea of FAIL
WORD!
I don’t mind the Nazi cross or the Confederate flag, per se. I hate that people use them as symbols of hatred and then claim heritage or “White pride” rather than hatred of others. This is not a misinterpretation of these symbols, because they have been specifically used as symbols of oppression and hatred. Both of these symbols were used as signals to others that they believed in the racist cause that represented these symbols. I’m sorry to Southerners who have a different association but after a group makes a symbol a sign of a racist cause you no longer have the right to cry foul when people think you’re racist. However, the association of the kaffiyeh with terrorism is outright wrong. This has never been a symbol used by a group to oppress others. It is equivalent to people who think that if you share a skin tone, style of dress, or language with someone who is a terrorist you support terrorists. This is more like assuming you hate muslims and are a Christian terrorist because you wear a Christian cross (and actually, this is less extreme of a jump). I agree that symbols can be powerful. But creating a terrorist association with the style of dress of another culture in order to promote hatred says nothing about the culture and everything about the interpreter.
Pamela Oshry Geller for the FAIL!
First, have you actually read atlasshrugs.com? If you do, I see that you require no proof of any claim she makes and follow her blindly and trust no other sources. If you don’t and found one citation with Pamela Oshry Geller’s name attached, then please go to her website and see if you agree with her unsupported viewpoints. Additionally, please anyone who thinks filterbunny’s FAIL makes any sense, read atlasshrugs.com and decide for yourself if you think that Pamela Oshry Geller is a source that you trust. And, I actually think everyone should go to the website because hearing bad, ill-formed opinions represented as fact can help strengthen everyone’s resistance to bad arguments and encourage people to seek out confirmatory information before blindly following a charismatic but lunatic fringe. If you decide that no, you don’t agree that thsi is a good source (or even if you decide yes) try to find another independent source that backs any of her claims. One person, with no references and no scholars who support her claims independently does not a strong argument make.
PS- Viewers of this website voted President Bush the best president since WWII.
IT’S PAISLEY.
if you need a walkthrough for the difference between paisley and the keffiyeh, yr too stupid to use google.
ps: USE GOOGLE.
kthnxbi.
Why are the people who took offense to that scarf still allowed to breathe my air?
I hear she eats children.
Utter rubbish! You can’t buy a good dinner of children for under 40 a day! That’s just ridiculous!
Jonathan Swift would disagree!
It’s a shame people write this off as no big deal. The symbolism is there, whether you like it or not. Of course, if she were wearing a Klan hood, all you libs would be outraged.
What symbolism? That she’s cold?
LOL Thomas you crack my ass up. IT’S A PAISLEY SCARF. What, you think DD is secretly sending messages through their coffee ads to the massive Palestinian underground here in the USA?
You are on crack, son. CRACK, I say.
Ok, peeps. The point here is about whether or not her scarf “looks” like a keffiyeh. If you’ve actually SEEN one, you know that the patterns are totally different. However, the association is there based on the COLOR of her scarf. If she had chosen a black one with a white paisley pattern, no one would have said anything!! Besides, women in Pakistani cultures don’t wear the keffiyeh, MEN DO. No one would mistake her for sending messages to terrorists or even for symbolizing them, not to their minds. We’re just such a fear-based culture media-wise that anything that LOOKS like terrorism IS terrorism.
Oh noes! Political debaiters be stealin mah funnies!
Good god, so thats what constitutes a terrorist in america now? wearing one of the rather smashing scarves? well I have one but in purple … does that make me a terrorist?
rush to judgement…
[...] Have you seen the terrorist who did their adverts? [...]

Isn’t it a good thing? She obviously mugged a terrorist.
