Right Wingnuts Human Events on the DAP — "‘Hezbollah’ style fist-jabbing"

They really are completely insane.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/trailhead/archive/2008/06/04/pounds.aspx

The presidential campaign—well, one in particular—has introduced a new greeting to the political world: the fist pound (also known as dap). Last night, we saw perhaps the most high-profile pound of all time, as Michelle and Barack Obama bumped fists on national television before he took the stage. (Video here.)

What’s hilarious is watching the formal, AP Stylebook-loving media trying to figure out what to call it. In an article about Obama’s body man Reggie Love, the New York Times called Love’s preferred greeting a “closed-fisted high-five.” Last night produced other assorted references:

“Taking a fist-pound from wife Michelle, Obama stepped to the podium Tuesday”—MTV.com

“I never realized how romantic and respectful and mutually appreciative and loving a frat-tastic fist bump could be. Could it be the new peck-on-the-cheek?”—The Frisky

“... Obama, who was joined on stage by his wife Michelle, with whom he shared a celebratory fist-bump.”—Reuters

“Michelle is not as ‘refined’ as Obama at hiding her TRUE feelings about America—etc. Her ‘Hezbollah’ style fist-jabbing ...”—Human Events

Where on earth do they come up with this shit?

not surprised. Still, I don't expect anything to come of it, as it was immediately accepted as "cool" by the media. (Not to mention any rational sane human who watched it and found it endearing)

And I'm white, it was obvious to me it was a sign of unity and love.... for the love of god, people need to get over themselves....

This is ridiculous.

:rofl:

Ah, that's too good...

Now, please check out the link to urbandictionary.com in the OP and see if you can tell me why the poster "preferred" to use the racially-charged third definition instead of the higher-rated ones that actually fit the situation better.

For good reason, apparently. :rofl:

:spray: :rofl: now THAT is funny....I see kids doing this all the time....don't boxers do it too?
