Fox News host apologizes for 'terrorist fist jab' remark about Obamas

Staff Reporter | Posted June 11, 2008 1:37 AM

A Fox News host is apologizing for suggesting that Barack and Michelle Obama's fist bump last week was a "terrorist fist jab."

Fox News host E.D. Hill said she was not comparing the Obama's body gesture to terrorist behavior but instead was simply reporting what others have said or thought about the first bump.

Below is the original remark that sparked the apology.

Fire her immediately!!!! You don't make mistakes like that. She may have set a precedent and her actions need to be taken seriously. This is not a game.

Would anyone think she had any journalistic integrity??? Anyone on that faux "news" outlet?? She sits there like a man with her knees crossed like a man, and, is so un-lady like, that she is just saying what the monitor tells her. As vapid as dense as they come, which is how all the folks who work there get their gigs.

This is just another example that proves that it does not matter how accomplished you. If your skin is brown, and you live in America, they will find a way to demoralize you.

That lady meant EVERY LAST WORD SHE SAID when she orignally made that comment, her BREATH and our TIME could have been saved from that WEAK apology.....She needs to be fired or resign, because she will say something else that will be ignorant again. These news anchors and everybody that is negative is acting as if he put his middle finger up to his wife face and the camera!!!!!

Very well said Carla. Think about the educational, professional, and community achievements of Barak and Michelle. Columbia, Princeton, and 2 Harvard advanced degrees, community service, professional distinction, you really can't get much better than this. Yet and still, it does not matter. If you're Black, the media & a sector of society will find a way, they will reach, they will construe the slightest motion and movement - all in the goal to marginalize you in someway. The is a sector of American society that is intent on branding you as separate and different from them, no matter what.
