What skull imagery? It's only a scarf, right?
Meanwhile, the burka makes the London catwalk.

The half-vast left-wing finds nothing wrong with a kaffiyeh but goes insane over the Confederate flag.

There is nothing inherently wrong with a kaffiyeh. As far as the Confederate flag, it is merely a symbol of failure and inbreeding.

Of course the kaffiyeh was popularized by Sir Lawrence "of Arabia." British troops still wear it.

The Brits are known freedom-haters, that's why we threw them out in the first place. And, sure enough, now they've turned their country into a province of Arabia.
But aside from that, I don't know how fucking blind you have to be to confuse that -- which is clearly your basic skull-and-crossbones -- with the SS skull. I guess it's somewhere in the ballpark of seeing women as giant walking clitorises.

I was watching the Disney picture, "Swiss Family Robinson," the other night. There was a skull and crossbones flag on a pirate ship. I'm not sure how stupid Disney thinks we are: The Nazis invented the skull and crossbones; it was never used before then ever ever ever never ever ever never ... ever. Come to think of it, I certainly haven't seen any rock and roll bands use the skull and crossbones in their marketing.
As for clitorises, it's pretty clear that Dan finally got around to watching the South Park movie. The only question is: how much more like Eric Cartman is Dan Riehl?
