Commenting on Barack and Michelle Obama’s on-stage “fist bump” before the start of a June 3 speech by Barack Obama, host E.D. Hill previewed a segment on the June 6 edition of Fox News’ America’s Pulse by saying, “A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently.”
An Internet search for terms “fist bump,” “pound,” “dap,” and “bumping fists” has revealed images of numerous athletes, celebrities, and politicians performing the same social gesticulation. Does Fox think any of the following might be terrorists?
Click Media Matters to see the potential terrorists.
The only one who scares me is in Example 5, Senator Joe Lieberman.
It occurs to me I should have added Lieberman to the McCain running-mate poll choices.
Prior to the fist bump heard ’round the world, I saw my friend, a new mom fist bump her husband after they completed a successful diaper change.
Should I cast a wary eye on them too? 🙂
Fox cancelled E.D. Hill’s show.
