More unintentional conservative humor

In a tease for a segment on interpreting political body language, Fox's E.D. Hill pondered the meaning of the Obama "pound" where they touch fists. "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab?" It was a throwaway line, not brought up again in the actual segment, and MM is maybe blowing the whole thing a little bit out of proportion, but I don't see how the hell it was even mentioned in the first place. Imagine if McCain and his wife had a fist bump, would anyone ever in a million years think or suggest it was a "terrorist fist jab"? The problem with this is that there probably are a few (thousand? million?) people who watched this and thought, "Damn, that muslim fella and his wife are sending coded signals to sleeper agents! Maw, get my gun!" (Yeah, I'm lookin at you event8horizon)

We report (irrelevent skewed facts and distortions) and laugh while watching you try to decide.

It is funny.

Especially with consideration to the Rachel Ray Mooslim Terrist Scarf last week.

It's just that kind of insightful and serious journalism that Fox and CNN are good for. Everyone who watched that are now Dumber.

Too be totally honest I watch Fox News more than other news provider...

So does this mean that most of the NBA and a sizable portion of the MLB are terrorists?

I see this hand gesture exchanged frequently at sporting events - I now know who to be on guard against - I'm watching you Kevin Garnett!

Nobody is thinking terrorist when they see that, however I do think that it may make them appear more 'black' to the people who are already hesitant to vote for Obama based race.

I'm going to start calling it that whenever I can.

You're right, no one in their right mind would think that, which is why FNC had to plant the seed.

McCain was turned by the North Vietnamese.

My friend likes to throw around the fist bump. Whenever he does it from now on, I'm going to yell "I don't want no part of no terrorist fist jab!" That'll show the commie.

What an appallingly stupid thing for a news personality to say.

It really is so over the top that it's funny.

"Nice football pass, Billy. Give me a terrorist fist jab!"

A sure indicator of a conservative mind set. Use it to judge past and future musings.

Okay, I also noticed Michelle gave a thumbs up after the fist jab. What does that mean? Could it be like a double secret terrorist cell dap? Oh no! I'm scared.

 

[jonks]

Anyone notice he smacks her on the ass as she walks away?

Well I think we don't have to guess who will get KOs WPITW award today do we?

Where are the FN defenders? Surely there's a reasonable explanation for this? She was making a joke? It hasn't been sufficiently proven Obama isn't a terrorist? The gesture is something terrorists do and Obama as president should be sensitive to it?

My toddler nephews love the "pound". Maybe I'll have to come up with something new, don't need them getting beat up in school for being terrists.

 

[DealMonkey]

"Terrorist fist jab?!?" WTF? Only on Fox News . . . Oh brother. :thumbsdown:

BTW, where's Duhelon to complain about bias in the media?!?

From one angle it looked that way, but it was really on her lower back.

They prefer the Reach Around to the Fist Jab:shocked:

jonks: Please edit your first post to include a prominent warning about not consuming coffee or soda while watching this video. You'll save a lot of keyboards.

The Ali G / Pat Buchanan part of this segment was absolutely priceless. WMD = BLT.

Jeebus people, it's just a (lame) joke.

In case you hadn't noticed daytime news program are usually pretty *light*.

Terra fist bump? really? I'm surprised they didn't call it an african american hand orgasm. Stupidity wears a skirt on faux.

Maybe if they didn't have a long and storied history of trying to pull this shit then they would get a pass.

Maybe it was Obama's way to tell his wife to get him "som' MotherFukin' ice tea."

 

[Cattlegod]

the fat bitch on the video had an annoying voice. not to mention she had no idea what she was talking about.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Is it wrong that I absoutely laughed my ass off when I first heard "terrorist fist jab"? Anyway, for what it's worth the idiot anchor that said it has lost her show. Link.
