I’ve got your "terrorist fist jab" right here lady, and I know just where
to put it.
Please excuse the coarse language.
I am more than just a bit agitated.
On June 6 on that "Fair
and Balanced" Fox News network’s "America’s Pulse," host E.D. Hill promoted an upcoming discussion
on the gesture Sen. Barack Obama shared with his wife Michelle after clinching the Democratic nomination. They touched fists.
It’s the "Cliff’s Notes" version, it’s what has become of the "Soul Handshake."
And
so there was an actual prime time, network cable television news discussion about that gesture!? Let me get this straight.
We also have to pay in order to watch cable news networks? Right?
"America’s Pulse" host E.D. Hill teased:
"A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently."
"A
terrorist fist jab?" have you lost your mind lady? What’s next, a collard greens joke? Maybe a "Watermelon
Jihad" reference, or a "Fried Chicken Hostage?"
What in heaven’s name made the word "terrorist"
come out that Fox News Network anchor’s mouth?
I’ll tell you what she meant. She was planting the seed of
an idea, that this particular candidate for President of the United States, is secretly a terrorist! When he becomes President,
he’ll quickly be accused of hiding a Muslim terrorist behind every desk in the entire U.S. Government. Vintage. Straight
from the Joe McCarthy, J. Edgar Hoover dirty tricks book.
Then what do you call the gymnastics performed by President
George W. (for Worst in history) Bush at the U.S. Air Force Academy commencement recently with one of the graduating cadets?
What do you call that? "An Imperialist Chest Thump?" "A Bombardier’s War Dance?" "Caveman Congratulations?"
Maybe
it was "The George Custer Bottom-of-the-Class Boogie?" (Gen. Custer finished dead last in his class at West Point.
Sen. John McCain finished 894th in a class of 899 at the Naval Academy. And of course Pres. Bush was at best a mediocre "C"
student at Yale and a virtual no-show for duty in the Air National Guard. On the other hand, Pres. Dwight Eisenhower finished
61st in his class of 164 at West Point. But I digress.)
A terrorist fist jab?
Yeah. I’ve got your "terrorist
fist jab" right here, Ms. E.D. Hill of Fox News Network’s "America’s Pulse," and I’d like
to show you exactly where you should put it!
