Did Laura Ingraham Mean to Make This Gesture? (Warped & Twisted Media Minds)
Esquire ^ | July 20, 2016 | John Hendrickson

CLEVELAND, OHIO—Laura Ingraham electrified the Q more than any speaker of the convention thus far. She shamed flag-burners. She hated on man buns and skinny jeans. She threw shade at Ted Cruz, implying he didn't have the stones to formally endorse Trump tonight.

Ingraham, a conservative talk radio host who quite literally makes her living in media, chastised "the media" for being wrong—wrong all along!—about The Donald. She had the crowd roaring, even more jazzed than in the 7 o'clock hour when G.E. Smith and the house band cruised through a nifty mash-up of "My Sharona" and "Gimme Some Lovin'."

But then Ingraham did this:

They are obviously butthurt about Laura’s effective description of their left wing Democrat media.

looks like a wave to encompass the crowd and perhaps acknowledge someone in particular that she noticed...

HILLARY IS THE CROOK TRAITOR FELON AND DEFINITELY THE NAZI...

again fabricating a false story by the MSM who i am amzed that anyone looks to for FACTS... all you get is a twisted PRAVDA NARRATIVE

They’re actually drawing more attention to Laura which is a great thing!

I watched her speech again and "the wave" occurred with her entrance and exit. Her "wave" was more of a full hand point to people in the good seats and those who bought the cheap nose bleed seats ;-) trying to acknowledge everyone in the stadium IMHO.

Had she added the Princess Di hand wave to this is would have been a non issue, instead they would have picked something else to B*tch about to diminish the speech of it's content just like they did to Melania.

I should have thought about this ahead to time, they are soooo predictable...

This was a BIG DEAL in DUmmyland last night.

Like Michael Savage says, liberalism is a mental disorder.

Telling. No discussion of substance but merely expressions of delusions, fantasies, and satanic projection. These behaviors are best ignored. Outrage is misspent on toxic wastrels of this kind. BTW . . .

One of the famous images of the Sacred Heart of Jesus has a hand up, palm out. I’m going to go with blessing, not evil salute.

I’m sure we can dig up numerous photos and videos of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton giving what appears to be a Nazi salute as they wave to a crowd. We need to flood social media with these images every time we see some lefty trying to make this accusation against Laura Ingraham.

and the implications will register with many low information types.

all the aging, greying hippies I went to high school with back in the ‘60’s will be all over this on FB...a couple, in particular, are way over the top and exceptionally annoying...

The author is a hard wired liberal who has written before about Trump and nazis. Not surprising.

Big Media just doing what Big Media does. Tryingto destroy Republicans/Conservatives by a thousand (phony) cuts. I hope their absolute bias is becoming more tedious to thinking Americans. The Low-info voters may buy into this. But even those who pooh-pooh the idea of Media bias, must admit the bias is getting out of control.

You may recall that when Boy Scouts lost their way a couple years ago, a new boys outdoor adventure organization was founded. Trail Life USA.

An AP photographer attended a meeting of a Trail Life troop who closed their meeting with a prayerful ceremony that included some hand motions. They started in a circle with their right hands high in the air. As they recited the closing phrases, they slowly lowered their hands in unison.

The photographer snapped the photo at just the right time to infer that Trail Life USA was teaching the Nazi salute.

Here’s an article about it. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2014/03/06/associated-press-smears-trail-life-boys-with-misleading-nazi-photo.html

In the spirit of full disclosure, I lead a Trail Life USA troop. We’re nothing but a whole bunch of God fearing, hard working, flag waving Americans.

He’s mad because he just bought three new pair of skinny jeans and is trying desperately to get the man bun going.

Laura’s speech must have scared the panties off the progs.
