News host calls the Obama's fist bump a "terrorist fist jab"... Can you guess which channel?

[mckeown1128]

Summary: Teasing a segment on the "gesture everyone seems to interpret differently," Fox News' E.D. Hill said: "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? ... We'll show you some interesting body communication and find out what it really says." In the ensuing discussion with a "body language expert," Hill referred to the "Michelle and Barack Obama fist bump or fist pound," but at no point did she explain her earlier reference to "a terrorist fist jab."

I...um... uh.. GOD*#%##% &&^%& ^%@#*( *#*@#@ *()&#@#.... ok, I'm better now that I let that out.

[Arrowhead2k1]

1. Wtf is a 'terrorist fist jab', and why is it being uttered on a cable news network?

:puke:

[DerekJ]

2. GOD*#%##% &&^%& ^%@#*( *#*@#@ *()&#@#.... From me too.

[Waya]

3. Faux Noise.....

I swear they would find something Terrorist - like in the Good Humor Man....Jesus!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

27. Bomb pops.

[LowerManhattanite]

4. WHAT IS...“the now loved by many idiots around here” Fox News, Alex? n/t

[Barack_America]

5. E.D. Hill or Elizabeth Hasselbeck...who is the most vapid?

I honestly can't decide. But my God, aren't they entertaining?

[JuniperLea]

6. No one gives DAP to stupid dweebs...

No wonder they are all confused.

[BklynChick]

7. pathetic beyond words.

:puke:

[applegrove]

8. They are truly deranged. I hope most of their viewers are watching their

news for the entertainment value..not to become informed.

[az chela]

9. Give me a break

How ignorant can these people be???
Oh yah they are supporting mcsame so they are really stupid

[tularetom]

10. I not only guessed what channel - I got the dildo host right too

I knew it had to be either Hill, Steve Douchey, or that other assmunch on that crappy morning show. I took a chance and guessed Hill.

[Heather MC]

11. Black people, the last greatest hidden teasure in America!

Funny how the things people have been doing for years, become this new exciting discovered thing when done by Barack Obama the "black Nominee"

Like brushing the haters off, is sexist
and now
"giving dap" become a terrorist bump. I know soon there will be a discovery of a new meat and fruit
Fried Chicken and Watermelon, I can't wait!

[Ikonoklast]

12. I guess the NBA, NFL, and all the players in MLB

Are terraists.


Fox Noise- When You Are Absolutely, Positively Too Stupid To Turn Off The TV.

[Symarip]

13. Crazy. I get drunk and give terrorist fist jabs to my friends all the time.

I guess I need to turn myself in.

[Goblinmonger]

14. I hate those body language "experts"

I have my masters in communication and most of what they say is just crap. Most "body language" as it is used by these "experts" has very little to no basis in the studies and they very rarely take into consideration context or habits of the "speaker" which are key to any reasonable body language analysis.

[Mimosa]

30. I agree, Goblinmonger

I don't know how many times I've seen the 'experts' on Fox get basic body language completely wrong. For instance, the woman O'Reilly uses seems to say whatever he wants her to say.

[Goblinmonger]

31. She (O'Reilly's "expert") is the worst

She even contradicts herself within one show. Guest doing something is bad but O'Reilly doing it isn't bad. There is no way she has taken serious grad classes in communication.

15. Top Ten Fox News Obama Fist Bump Interpretations [repost]

(This topic came up earlier, so I'll just replay my earlier response.)

[Phx_Dem]

[bridgit]

17. From the same bag of nuts that think inner cities are filled with terrorist'...

They drive outside their gated communities all wide-eyed and terrorized by America herself, her freedom; they really don't know what to think so they make shit up

[TahitiNut]

28. Please don't say "nuts" to describe such folks. It's offensive to us Nuts.

Thanks. :hi:

38. heh-heh, duly noted...

;) :hi:

[City Lights]

18. Um, let's see, I'll go out on a limb and guess Fux Noise.

They can go fux themselves while wallowing in their cooties.

[wowimthere]

19. Murdock is probably laughing at how people take Fox news seriously... Can you make this shit up?

Oh I guess they do all the time. Eventually this shit will die out... I'm talking about all that is right wing bullshit.

[nsd]

20. Apparently, they don't watch The Office over at Fox.

I suspect the "terrorist fist jab" idea originated with this:

Slate

Note what Slate quotes a commenter at Human Events as saying about it. "Hezbollah’ style fist-jabbing"?

[TexasObserver]

21. It was ED Hill, world class air head. She's a Fox Idiot.

[nebula]

22. Fox News should be labeled a terrorist organization

[pdxmom]

23. Mike Easley greeted Obama today with a "dap". I would love to see

everyone do that when greeting/introducing Obama. Toss it back in their faces and make them look as foolish as they are.

Personally, I think it just looks easygoing and fun and confident. Watch the video:

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0608/An_EasleyObama_dap.html

[loyalsister]

39. I think that's what is going to happen

people who meet him or talk to him are going to want a fist bump instead of a handshake.

This one will fail. Because people think they look cooler giving a fist bump than just shaking hands with Obama.

[Pathwalker]

24. Has America really turned so stupid that something like a fist

tap, a dap, or whatever little signal of affection it was between Sen. Obama and his wife is something worthy of this much attention? Oh, wait - Al kissed Tipper in 2000. While I admit to being woefully behind in all the new hand signals - I just saw it as as "awww - isn't that sweet?" moment. But, then, we DO determine a person's level of patriotism based on their fashion accessories, so I guess the answer is yes. We ARE this stupid.

[Born_A_Truman]

25. Then my grandson and husband are terrorists...

Hubby said his students do this to him all the time (HS Math teacher) and yesterday my 10YO grandson's little league team was doing it. But I'm sure their viewers will believe this BS with no question.

[Goblinmonger]

32. My son and I, too

we fist bump on his way to wrestle. Damn us.

[jeffrey_X]

26. I love that video. I love the way she looks into his eyes after the fist bump

and then gives him a big thumbs up. I love it.

[Mimosa]

29. If you never watch Fox, you don't know what they're up to. Re: ED Hill

I've always been a cable news junkie. So I watch CNN and Fox a lot. Long ago I stopped watching Fox and friends, where ED Hill was first foisted on the public. She is even dumber than Steve Doucey. She's arrogant in her complete ignorance.

Can you believe she's given birth to eight children?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,1237,00.html

[FVZA_Colonel]

33. If a fist bump is enough to make someone a terrorist, then the DHS ought be checking out about

70 to 80 percent of America's population aged 16 to 25.

[damonm]

34. Let's not forget the ENTIRE NBA, and about 90% of the NFL...

[Cha]

35. Fuck Faux & their Fucking Propaganda Machine..

They're fighting for their fucked up lives and are like rats in corner.

[Gore1FL]

36. 2 days straight Cardinal Pitcher Franklin gave Cardinal Catcher Molina the "terrorist fist jab."

Now it makes sense why they both have such killer arms...

[tabasco]

37. Why does Fox News hate America?

Dp they think millions of Americans support a "terrorist."

It's only going to get worse. The republican corporate media will portray McCain as the big hero and Obama as the terrorist.

Get used to it.

The republican-owned media must be destroyed.

[nonobadfish]

40. And, oh my gosh, it's spreading. Now there own Hutchinson is doing it too! Where will it end?
