Fox News' E.D. Hill Apologizes for Obama "Terrorist Fist Jab" Remark

Posted on 06/11/2008 11:55:45 PM PDT by trumandogz

Fox News' E.D. Hill, who hosts the channel's American Pulse, apologized earlier today for a comment she made regarding Barack and Michelle Obama's widely-watched fist-bump preceding his speech accepting the Democratic Party's Presidential nomination.

Hill, while introducing a story in which Body Language Expert Janine Driver analyzed the fist-bump, questioned the gesture, saying, "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab?"

Today, E.D. Hill apologized for this remark, stating, "I apologize because, unfortunately, some thought I personally had characterized it inappropriately. I regret that. It was not my intention. And I certainly didn't mean to associate the word 'terrorist' in any way to Senator Obama and his wife."

No need to apologize. Instead of this “Change...Hope” crap we get the “fist jab” crap like we’re supposed to care.

The liberal MSM can’t get over their love affair for Muslim Boy.

I've been married a lot of years and I can't say me and Mrs. 40 have ever fist bumped.

Weird.

The author “Khara” sets the stage - we are not allowed to look critically at BHO and his associations as they may relate to Muslims and/or possible ties to America hating individuals and organizations.

All will be “shamed” from giving ANY critical analysis of this candidate.

I saw her when she said it. I thought it was quite funny. I still do. I’m just sorry she had to apologize to them. :o)

I would call it a gender bending fist bump.

She fist bumped like a man and he like a woman.

I guess I'll have to go against the prevailing opinion here and say that I think what she said was stupid.

Obama is a neo-Marxist, racist, gun-grabbing, economy-ruining, culture-destroying anti-christ, but there really wasn't anything to the "fist bump" or whatever you call it.

Truth and accuracy in reporting is now something to apologize for. ‘Tis a sad day.

She should apologize. She should have said "associate the word 'terrorist' in any way to Senator Barak Hussein Obama.

Does anyone remember JOel Surnow’s La Femme Nikita episode where Willie Cain and Operations do the so called “bump” when the two war buddies become “reacquainted after almost 30 years? Better be careful before we call this one racist.

What the heck? Fist bumps are done by a wide range of people. Some people need to get of thier pod more. Even Fox and friends have been known to do this once and a while.

This is really dumb.
