"Terrorist Fist Jab"

Post by heyzeus »

This nonissue is the sorriest sack of s*** I've ever heard, in any political campaign in my memory.

The effort of Fox News to insinuate Obama with terrorists by making up a phrase for a simple hand gesture is the most brazen, irresponsible, chickens*** and unethical thing I think I've ever seen.

And it's getting coverage. Oh, it's getting coverage. I quit. I give up. I have a tv for sale.

I think the better solution would not watch the garbage on Fox News and MSNBC.

Just don't watch any of the major cable news networks. They are all completely worthless. BBC World News America with Matt Frei is where it's at. Weekdays 6-7 central. More news in 1 hour than CNN gives you in 24.

I heard he does the terrorist fist jab while holding pages for the Koran he used to be sworn in with and saying something about Allah or death to America or some sort. He then asks for friends and family to address him only by his middle name and to throw in "friend of Saddam" if they feel like it.

Wake up, America! How can you elect this guy?!?

Wow, there's another thing to add to the list of terrorist activities I have done.

both parties and their followers can get desperate when the time comes.

This isn't surprising.

What pisses me off is how utterly inane that segment is. Are they really "analyzing" a fist pound, an ubiquitous, well understood gesture? It is hard to imagine a bigger waste of air time.

Meh. CNN pulls the same crap against the Republicans......it's politics. It's why I avoid Foxnews, CNN and many other channels. They all push their own agenda.....I could care less.

It floors me that people continue to tell themselves that Fox News has any shred of journalistic integrity.

they're making it sound like it was the first time it's ever been done before, like they've never seen anything like it. "What does it mean?!?"

It's been around forever. Heck, we did it at my best friends wedding 8 years ago as the groomsmen walked up to stand beside him. The southern baptist folks in the pews weren't suddenly afraid we were terrorists.
