Fox News’ E.D. Hill makes a weird, non-apology apology for her “terrorist fist jab” remark. Obviously, the bosses made her do it. She blames others in the media for the “terrorist fist jab” characterization. The characterization came from Fox itself. From My DD:

A Google search for “terrorist fist jab” will only yield stories about the blonde and the segment in question. However, reports from before the segment actually aired give an idea of the phrase’s origin. Apparently, a commenter on Cal Thomas’s blog made the remark, since deleted, that dap was actually a “Hezbollah style fist-jab”. It somehow jumped from that one comment all the way up the chain to lead into a Fox News story.”

More from Think Progess:

Fox News has canceled America’s Pulse, the nightly news show anchored by E.D. Hill, but Hill stays with the network in a capacity to be determined.” The cancellation comes just four days after Hill’s “terrorist fist jab” remark.

  1. But wait, Obama is a terrorist by association…he’s been approved by Hamas!! Jimmy “I never met a dictator that I didn’t like” Carter is for Obama. Obama’s buddy Bill Ayres has actually bombed police and other citizens for the Vietnamese government (defacto). So, Obama is at least a budding homosexual terrorist.

  2. For anyone interested enough to seek the truth of what ED Hill said, Google “ED Hills real words” She may be a conservative, but she definitely did not call the Obamas terrorists. On this one, she’s getting slimed.

    • I saw the original tease. She may be a nice person, she may have just been reading what the producer put in teleprompter (likely since her delivery was terrible). This wasn’t about her calling the Obama’s terrorists. The tease was over the top provocative by associating a moment of playfulness to terrorist behavior. It’s stupid.

      (Went back and read whole story, reviewed video. The tease was referencing Cal Thomas calling the bump a “Hezbollah style fist-jab.” Host and guest never even bothered to explain.)
