      Nothing to see here, folks.

      This is about the most low-key freak-out I've ever seen.

        It's much ado about nothing. My guess is the White House was poking fun at the news.

        The fact F&F and Malkin has something to say about this? Stupid.

          I have to admit if it's intentional (and why wouldn't it be) then it is pretty much a non-so-subtle dig at the Foxites and the right wing media. Seems like overkill, though.

            I suppose you're right, they must have done this intentionally. I bet a staffer was out at Bed Bath & Beyond, saw the cookie cutter, and laughed all the way to the register. I'm a bit surprised the idea got past the next level of screening, but it is a pretty funny joke, I have to admit, and only made funnier by the reaction we see above...

          Not my cookies....

          Not my ACORN cookies!!           <-- think Shrek

          While I admit that this is rather insignificant and could have easily been ignored by MMfA...

          This thread shows one more in a long list of stupid crap that Cluster Fox and Fiends complains or makes crap up about in order to fain fake outrage (lame as it sometimes can be)!

      Why do these people get paid? Children do this stuff for free. America has serious issues going on and Fox News devote time on air talking about cookies. Go figure...
      Fox News decide, then reports.

      The ACORN scandal was only a scandal on Fixed Spews. And these guys are now picking on cookies as a political scandal. How small minded can you get. Did anyone notice the pleasant expression on Malicious' face? She actually seems to be enjoying herself, compare that to her appearences on NBC when she looks a cobra about ready to strike!

        That's because on fox, anything they say riles up their devoted followers. Any other outlet they may have to actually defend their statements which is a difficult task at best.

          I know, but she has a pleasant face when she isn't aiming her venom. Gretch looks a lot less crazed if you watch that video of her playing violin that appeared on The Daily Show.

        Oh an because it wasn't reported in the mainstream media, it was a non-scandal? Are you serious? Did you not see the videos?

        I don't know how Fox somehow missed the White House's minaret-shaped macaroons, and Muslim-esque crescent rolls.

      Maybe they served acorn-shaped cookies because the GOP is nuts.

      How is this a "freak?" It's just typical Fox "news" trying to make a big deal over nothing again. Cookies=conspiracy? Yawn.

      Why the excitement about cookies? Who says that the cookies have anything to do with the organization that registers voters? Don't these people have real issues to discuss. One sentence is all this deserves. Malkin does not rant enough on Fox news to prove unequivocally that she is a complete idiot, but she is getting there.

      Acorn cookies are a common Christmas cookie. These people are just stupid.

        Exactly. My first reaction to her "tasteless and tone deaf" comment was a "you just don't have a clue, do you?"

      Personally, I hope it was intentional. These Troglodyte dooshbags deserve no respect whatsoever.

      You want investigations, Malkie? Let's start with the 9 billion dollars your favorite President misplaced in Iraq. Then we can move on to all the little schemes that Karl Rove was involved in. After that, if anybody's left standing, we can look into the massive propaganda campaign the Bushies used to excuse their little Trillion Dollar excursion into Iraq.

      Get in line, sister.

      It's NOT a Muthaf.ckin' acorn!

      I saw an image of the cookie in question.

      It wasn't the image of an acorn - it was an image of Samuel L. Jackson in his signature beret.

        Even worse. The white house is flaunting it's alliance with black French Muslims, and it's intent to turn our country into a kingdom.

      The irony of Malkin accusing anyone of being tasteless and tone deaf is just to rich. I swear these people will make a "scandal" out of anything.

      Are these guys serious? So the shape of a "nut" is a forbidden form for a piece of candy? And Glenn Beck warms his viewers of "fascism?" As soon as I read about the content of the story, I immediately thought they will definitely invite Malkin on the show as she is an expert in making outrageous "symbolic" conspiracy theories. Remember her shenanigan over the self-labeled "hate couture" as a reference to anything resembling Keffiyeh?
