laugh out loud on Fox news and their tremendously clueless ways.

found this headline as well

"In Historic Moment, White People Exposed To 'Fist Bump" for First Time"

http://www.alternet.org/election08/87230/

"But more significant, is the fact that the greeting which has been described by confused white journalists as a "fist bump," "closed-fist high-five," "a frat-tastic fist bump" and a "'Hezbollah' style fist-jabbing" is finally being introduced to mainstream culture."

Fox News anchor taken off air after Obama 'terrorist fist jab' gaffe
Mark Sweney guardian.co.uk, Friday June 13 2008
Fox News anchor ED Hill has lost her show a week after suggesting Barack Obama and his wife Michelle's on-stage victory gesture could be seen as a "terrorist fist jab".

Hill, the anchor of Fox News show America's Pulse, made the comment last Friday after Obama and his wife affectionately bumped fists before his victory speech on becoming the Democratic candidate for president.

"A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently," said Hill in her show. "We'll show you some interesting body communication and find out what it really says."

According to US media reports Hill, who has been with Fox News Channel since 1998, has now lost her show although she is to stay with the network in an as yet undetermined capacity.

Hill apologised for the gaffe live on-air at the start of her show on Tuesday.

"I want to start the show by clarifying something I said on the show about an upcoming body language segment. Now I mentioned various ways the Obama's fist pump in St Paul's had been characterised in the media," she said.

"I apologise because unfortunately, some thought I personally had characterised it inappropriately. I regret that. It was not my intention. And I certainly didn't mean to associate the word 'terrorist' in any way with Senator Obama and his wife," Hill added.

Oh, Faux News, if you are so "fair and balanced", why don't you show George Herbert Walker Bush doing the same "terrorist fist jab" as Barack Saddam Hussein 9/11 Osama?!

Because that would be un-American, Sheik Wuyi-Muhammad-Abdul-Abu-Hamza-zidi.

What is "Wuyizidi" anyway? French??

lol. good comments so far on this thread.

thanks, steve. i was trying to find a clear source to send to a friend about this.

maybe one has to go to foreign news to get a clear report on things, these days.

personally, seeing the clip, i thought it was a charming and affectionate gesture of congratulations between two people who obviously care about each other. i think faux news missed the "muslim bottom spank" just after.

it's hard to see how anyone could construe it otherwise than warm and congratulatory--absent a commentator's ulterior motives. but i suspect i'm just saying the obvious.

we just started receiving al-jazeera english over here and man is it awesome.

it's like the bbc, but with a lot more global coverage (none of that 90% of airtime for the elections, 2% for global affairs, 8% for everything else).

it's actually really impartial and not just an islamofascist propaganda network

they speak better english than the people at fox, certainly.

and the female reporters/anchors are smoking hot

fox are the ones that would yell fire in a crowded theater.

no idea of how to use the 1st amendment without being shitheads.
unfortunately, fox is out there representing america as a people.
is that who you want representing your nation on the airwaves?

Yeah, that's beyond ridiculous. I'm not a huge fan by any means, but that's just idiotic. Typical Fox-going-overboard crap.
