4. I saw what you're referring to, and thought the same as you.

Yeah, I'm thinking he gave a finger wave casually and unobtrusively while speaking today about her comments. I thought it was cool.

[Colobo]

5. One of the most ridiculous pieces ever written.

[Tribetime]

6. you're kidding right

[Writer]

7. Groan...

:cry:

[AZBlue]

8. What a moronic thing to say.

[Cha]

9. No, but I

did.

[Arrowhead2k1]

10. I hope he did.

It's not like you can make a case out of that anyways. :smoke:

lol, poor desperate Hillbot with no video capture utilities... :rofl:

[rug]

11. No, but he was not artful with his gestures.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

12. The commenters are letting that dipshit have it.

It's like 10 to one of "You're a stupid ass" to "OMG he WAS giving her the finger!"

[GarbagemanLB]

13. What is so ironic is that he is talking about the media playing 'gotcha' games...

[4themind]

Talk about seeing the finger instead of the moon

[Swamp Rat]

14. I did.

"I said some things I knew not to be the case." - Hillary admitted to being a liar at last night's debate.

[ima_sinnic]

29. LOL!! good one, swampie!

:kick:

[cliffordu]

15. No, But I did.

[4themind]

16. As he brings his hands down, it looks like his index finger may have been raised as well

[sandnsea]

17. lol, well I don't know

but if he did, well good on him anyway.

19. No question at all....

he gave Hillary the finger, and smiled about it. What a piece of shit he is...thought he was a different kind of politician...what a joke.

[Cali_Democrat]

20. I hope he did

[Tinksrival]

21. For Pete's sake....

Grow up people.

[fascisthunter]

22. No... But I Did

:evilgrin:

[FrenchieCat]

23. I saw a blogger comment about it, and certainly if that's what one would "wants" to

think, they could....but this is just too subliminal for anyone to go there, except as a joke. Geeze, I don't believe these clowns.

[whatchamacallit]

24. Andrew Malcolm gets the "Charles Gibson AssClown Award"

Thanks for the - ahem - journalism

[C_U_L8R]

25. If we're going to have a finger-gate

i'm gonna yack

[MarkInLA]

Be sure to use your middle finger to gag yourself - it would only be appropriate...lol (n/t)

[SunsetDreams]

26. "If you are under 13 years of age you may read this message board, but you may not participate."

Guess the participation on that site doesn't pertain to someone writing a blog.

Pathetic, but the tabloid sheeple will eat it up.

[baldguy]

27. Obama gave Hillary "the finger"

And Hillary is personally responsible for the deaths of 4000 American soldiers and 1 million Iraqis.

[boppers]

28. Wow. Talk about missing the point.

In a speech about moving beyond silly season, and related childish attitudes towards politics, somebody looks for another fabricated "scandal"?

Very sad.

[Hutzpa]

30. oh oh! now its finger-gate

bwahahahahaha!!!



:rofl:

[Arrowhead2k1]

31. Taylor Marsh is trying to make a big deal out of it.

[DerekJ]

32. Times?!! Which times is it?!! The Retarded Times?!!

[AtomicKitten]

33. Probably not, but I sure as hell hope so.

[MarkInLA]

34. It's alright - he's given her "the finger" before - and I think she liked it

[shagsak]

43. I lol'd

[BootinUp]

[BlooInBloo]

36. Oooh - a NEW manufactroversy - it's about time!

37. The msm has been playing it all day.

[berni_mccoy]

38. Weeeeellllll EVERYBODY KNOWS, ABOUT THE BIRD! The Bird is the Word and the Word is the Bird!

Fingergate!

[HuffleClaw]

39. sure looks like it to me

considering his expression following it and especially considering the crowd reaction

[GarbagemanLB]

40. It was because of his comments about her looking in her element.

[quakerboy]

42. Do we care?

[ZinZen]

44. Good lord NO

I have seen him scratch his nose JUST LIKE THAT in other speeches. Are you going to try and say he was flipping off his frickin audience? Stop believing in the media bullshit. Didn't ABC's Perez Hilton special last night teach you anything?
