On yesterday’s edition of Fox News’ America’s Pulse, host E.D. Hill addressed her June 6 comments in which she teased an upcoming segment about Barack Obama and Michelle Obama’s on-stage “fist bump” by saying:

“A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently…”

On yesterday’s show, Hill attempted to clarify her remarks:

Want to start the show by clarifying something I said on the show last Friday about an upcoming body language segment. Now, I mentioned various ways the Obamas’ fist pump in St. Paul had been characterized in the media. I apologize because unfortunately, some thought I personally had characterized it inappropriately.

I regret that. It was not my intention. And I certainly didn’t mean to associate the word “terrorist” in any way to Senator Obama and his wife.

Fox News anchor E.D. Hill is the worst kind of person reporter. Her not-to-subtle subtle racism is an attempt to influence and divide the country.

First of all, what kind of an apology is this? Hill is essentially blaming the people who misunderstood what she was saying.

Secondly, well, what was she saying? If Hill “certainly” wasn’t associating the Obamas with terrorism, then what on earth was she doing?

Here’s the only certain thing to come of this: the assertion that a congratulatory gesture between husband and wife even needs to be interpreted in any way is a sad, racist commentary on America.
