    That guy must be angling for a job at Fox News. Remember their "Obama and his wife exchange terrorist fist jab" story?

    I still love FOXNEWS...just because it's existence makes people like Dinner crazy and there isn't a damn thing they can do about it but whine non-stop for years on the internet.

    And there's nothing more important than your petty grudges, right?

    Pathetic. :borg:

    You seem to be mistaken, as usual so no surprise there. We are laughing at the contrived dishonesty of Fox as well as the stupidity of people like you who are dumb enough to believe things like the terrorist fist jab nonsense.

    But, please, continue making yourself look retarded as it amuses me.

    Wow, that is sad. I guess there's not enough real shit going on, someone has to make it up.

    Here's Minneapolis' Fox9 KMSP-TV's take on it: http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/stor...photo-of-minneapolis-mayor-spawns-pointergate

    I have created a short list of signs you should watch for when interacting with black people:

    Pointing with two fingers = Gang Sign
    Pointing with one finger = Gang Sign
    Smiling = Gang Sign
    Not Smiling = Gang Sign
    Walking = Gang Sign
    Driving = Gang Sign
    Sitting on front porch = Gang Sign
    Wearing colorful clothing = Gang Sign
    Wearing dark clothing = Gang Sign
    Saying Hello = Gang Sign
    Voting = We're all going to die

    LOL...play it off how you like, it's hilarious.

    It probably doesn't mean what you think it means. Some context posted in the follow up tweets of that feed, FWIW...

    Seems like a pretty good dog whistle to discover if a person is a racist to me. :shrug:

    At the very least, you can run your correlations with the other poll answers and see where they come out.

    I do like that the general reaction is "what the hell?!", because that's a good sign we've come a long way from when those questions were standard.

    YOu know...John boy shouldn't be throwing stones at anyone else like...EVER.

    He's the one who likes a cartoon made for prepubescent girls.

    That's freakish no matter how he dresses it up or how many people desperate to be PC tell him it's OK and normal.

    That's US Senator Tim Scott, possibly the first black Senator with two first names. :)

    But you loves yourself a good terrorist fist jab, right? Also, yes, the two stories are remarkably similar (between Fox national and this local ABC affiliate) so it is natural they drew comparisons since they are so alike.

    Show me your gang sign, Volpie.
