On the June 9 editions of their MSNBC shows, Dan Abrams and
Keith Olbermann mocked
Fox News and host E.D.
Hill over her suggestion
that a fist bump by Sen. Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, might be
"interpret[ed]" as a "terrorist first jab," with Abrams
saying, "[O]ver at Fox News, if it's Obama, it must be something
far more sinister."
As Media Matters for
America noted, on the June
6 edition of Fox News' America's
Pulse, Hill teased a segment on the Obamas' fist bump -- which they did as Sen. Obama prepared to give a June 3 speech in
St. Paul, Minnesota,
after becoming the presumptive Democratic candidate for president -- saying, "A fist
bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret
differently."
Olbermann showed a clip of Hill's comment on the June 9 edition of Countdown, and discussed it with MSNBC contributor Rachel Maddow. Olbermann said, "So, let me see. Michael Jordan and Charlie Sheen, who try to fist bump in this new underwear commercial, they're terrorists? ... [T]here are all sorts of other examples, like every professional athlete and many actors and entertainers. They're all terrorists."
Abrams showed a clip of Hill's comment during the "Beat the Press" segment of his show, Verdict, and stated: "Yes, a handshake or a terrorist fist jab. Everyone just interprets it differently."
From the June 9 edition of MSNBC's Verdict with Dan Abrams:
ABRAMS: It's time for
tonight's "Beat the Press." First up, let's be clear: Most of us in the news
business are dorks. I don't know how else to say it. When the Obamas gave
each other a fist bump, it was cool. When my colleagues in the news business
try to relive the moment, it's just tough to watch.
[begin video clip]
MAGGIE RODRIGUEZ (co-anchor of CBS' The Early Show): All right, everybody, give me a little
pound-pound. A simple
fist bump --
HOWARD KURTZ (host of CNN's Reliable Sources): Byron [Pitts, CBS national correspondent], I'm not cool enough to grasp this, so
tell me, is this what all the
brothers do?
KURTZ: Byron Pitts, Gloria Borger [CNN senior political analyst] --
BORGER: Ooh.
KURTZ: -- Jake Tapper [ABC News senior national correspondent].
TAPPER:
Word.
RODRIGUEZ: -- Thursday. There you have it. Nice job.
WOLF BLITZER (host of CNN's Late Edition): Go
ahead, you can do it. There we go. All
right, good work.
[end video clip]
ABRAMS: Please stop. Stop. But of
course, over at Fox News, if it's Obama, it must be something far more
sinister.
HILL [video clip]: A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab?
The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently.
ABRAMS: Yes, a handshake or a
terrorist fist jab. Everyone just interprets it differently.
From the June 9 edition of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:
OLBERMANN: There is some degree of
ignorance and prejudice that Senator Barack Obama must confront as he makes his
bid for the presidency. And
his campaign can also count on a dose of inflammatory idiocy, not only from the
senator's
critics, but also from a so-called news organization. More
on Fox Noise and the Obama fist bump
presently.
[...]
OLBERMANN: And the anti-Obama
campaigning is getting more and more, well, out there. Criticism
of the Obama knuckle knock or fist bump, an attempt, in fact, to link it to terrorism, one we all saw
right before his victory speech last night in St. -- or last Tuesday in St.
Paul.
Fox News' E.D. Hill, teasing an upcoming segment
on this, said this:
HILL [video clip]: A fist bump, a pound, a terrorist fist jab? The
gesture everyone seems to interpret differently.
OLBERMANN: Hill's America's Pulse
program then had a body language [expert] on to say, basically, you have no pulse. No, she said
that the fist big -- the fist bump was no big deal. Thus, Fox Noise's unanswered innuendo
could be applied forward, which must mean that North Carolina's Governor Mike Easley, as you saw,
also might be a terrorist.
Let's turn now to MSNBC political analyst
Rachel Maddow, who also hosts her own show on Air America Radio on weekday
afternoons. Rachel,
good evening.
MADDOW: Hi, Keith.
OLBERMANN: So, let
me see. Michael Jordan
and Charlie Sheen, who try to fist bump in this new underwear commercial, they're terrorists? And
this is -- there are all sorts of other examples, like every professional
athlete and many actors and entertainers. They're all terrorists.
This apparently springs from a
comment on a right-wing blog. In
a sense, if they're
clutching at straws like these in June, do you feel a little sorry for the far
right?
MADDOW: Not really.
