Fox was wrong: it was an ANTICOLONIALIST fist jab

[Enrique]

or possibly a Pan-Africanist fist jab. Certainly not a terrorist fist jab.

Teasing a segment on the "gesture everyone seems to interpret differently," Fox News' E.D. Hill said: "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? ... We'll show you some interesting body communication and find out what it really says." In the ensuing discussion with a "body language expert," Hill referred to the "Michelle and Barack Obama fist bump or fist pound," but at no point did she explain her earlier reference to "a terrorist fist jab."

1. Why are you giving Newt Gingrich's racist birther lies about Pres. Obama further play here at DU?

The latest salvo from the extreme right now proposes that Obama has embraced the political views of the late father he barely knew.

Just when you thought the false propaganda against Barack Obama couldn't get any deeper, along comes Newt Gingrich with another trainload of lies. Setting a shameful new standard for cynical manipulation of the paranoid fears of the Tea Party and so-called Birthers, the Republican former speaker of the House now claims that Obama suffers from "a Kenyan, anti-colonial worldview" that makes him unfit to be president.

"What if is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together ?" Gingrich asked in an interview with the National Review Online, Web site of the prominent conservative magazine.
