Tiger Woods - the most notorious "Terrorist Fist Jabber" of all time?

Sunday June 8, 2008 | 01:28:20 140 words, 5795 views  

It’s time someone put Tiger Woods on the Terrorist Watch List. I’m just kidding, with nearly a million names on the U.S.’s Terrorist Watch list, you just know he’s already on it.

But probably for good reason, at least if you look at how Fox News talked about the fist bump between Barack Obama and wife Michelle after Obama wrapped up the Democratic nomination:

“During the June 6 edition of Fox News’ America’s Pulse, host E.D. Hill teased an upcoming discussion by saying, “A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently.”

One of the many, many times Tiger Woods
has engaged in Terrorist fist jabbing.

Fox News. They Report. You Decide. So what’s your decision? Is Tiger Woods a terrorist fist jabber?

Now I get it. All the other blogs tonight were just so you could point out to readers all the times you don't write about politics ...

Sorry, did I just blow that scheme wide open? Still, good effort. Well played.

And in this case, a funny blog that almost doesn't have its political bent all over it. I'll give you a funny story about the terrorist watch list someday too.

I'm with Baldwin on this one. You write a great little piece on McKay, who was mainly before my time and your blog helped give me some more insight into his legacy.

Then you bury it with a sensational, hit-whoring headline followed by a transparently political jab.

McKay is already rolling over in his grave.

What if Paul Pierce and Barack got together? Would it be terrorist fist jabbing gang sign flashing rhetoric? I'm nearly at the confusion level of Tucker and Mr. Simpson, errr, Baldwin.

I missed the bump, but from what I can tell, it was nothing compared to when Al Gore searched Tipper's tonsils for WMD on stage after securing the nomination in 2000.

How do they get away with this blatant attempt to paint Barack as a terrorist?

Fox News truly has become a parody of themselves. Fox News and Republicans will overreach as they tend to do, but the public won't stand for it this time. If you couple Obama's debates against McCain (Johnny doesn't stand a chance) with the voter's disgust with Rebuplicans and their highly unethical attack machine (think Atwater, Rove), Obama will easily win in November.

Errr...do you have any idea how hollow your complaint sounds? This is the internet, Brandon. A story isn't "buried" if all you have to do is click on a headline to read it.

Oh, and by the same token, if you don't want to read a story...don't click on its headline! But honestly, I hope you stick around. You might learn something, and I could use the entertainment.

I appreciate what you're doing, William. And if you weren't offending a few people here and there, you'd be doing it wrong.

perspicio...you hope BTUCK will 'stick around'? Who the heck are YOU and where have you been....Brandon Tucker is one of the best young golf/travel writes that Nessmith has found. Speaking of being able to use the entertainment - *I* get an amazing jolt of humor from eeejits like you! ;)

Wolfie, your turn. Honestly, I sincerely hope that B Hussein Obama DOES win. You liberal scum can take the credit for destroying America once and for all....something you've obviously wanted to do since the early 1930's.

I, on the other hand, will take my money and my skills and emigrate to New Zealand. And laugh sadly as a once great country fades away.
