Those are pretty much hand gentures to present her case on obeezy.
As close as I could find
The laura thing just feels different.

I'm calling you both ridiculous, the people who label this lady as Nazi saluting, and the people who uploaded the video I made that gif from.

Sure, call her out and make her day. She'll love playing the victim of the "overly PC SJW culture", and will use this as her evidence. "You can't make one simple mistake without being forever labeled as a racist"
If she manages to acknowledge how it looked and apologize for the unintended perception in a sincere fashion, the whole thing will quickly blow over. But if she tries to linger on being the victim and lash out with a persecution complex, she'll just undermine any credibility she had to present this as a simple misunderstanding.
I get it just fine, I just don't care what her game is.

You don't have to care for it to benefit her.

Looks like a panning wave caught at the worst angle possible.
you really can't just compare pictures. in the clip/gifs the way she did that gesture was seriously fucking weird and even with the flood of analogy pics i haven't seen an equivalent analogy video clip where the person wasn't straight-up doing the salute. with the amount of trolling and stupidity in the campaign, honestly pretty surprised people wouldn't at least consider that maybe it's a wink wink plausible deniability troll.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
It's insane how many similar posts to yours have been refuted to hell and back already. It's even a bit funny because absolutely no one in their right mind would confuse any of those pictures of Hillary with a nazi salute compared to the very clear video footage of the event last night.
Laura Ingraham may be a neo nazi, I don´t know, what I do know is that Clinton isn´t better than her

I can't stand Faux Noise, but Megyn...
Her roasting Karl Rove in 2012 was amazing too

This has been the premise of the entire Trump campaign.(and Right in general) Insinuation without outright saying it. This way people can say we're reading too much into it. The answer is not to say nothing. It's transparent and people like you fall for it. It's just like when people ask me "Show me where Trump said ALL Mexicans! He's not saying anything racist! Oh he only means Muslims from those countries, he's not saying ALL Muslims!"
We've gotten to the point where the racism and bigotry are so commonplace and expected that people are quick to dismiss even BLATANT things as crying wolf.

I think you enjoy playing devil's advocate even if you know you have to be intellectually dishonest on purpose to do so.
Lmao. Great reference, but I need it edited into the scene with music now !

Basically this. Looks like she was panning her hand around for the audience during that "salute". But since the camera was straight on you can't really see it and it looks perfectly still. To read anything more into this is delving into conspiracy theory nonsense in my opinion.
The way her expression changes after the salute makes it obvious we're looking at two different actions: the first one is an obvious nazi salute, complete with erect pose, closed face, straight arm and eye contact; after that, she goes into relaxed mode with a smile and the hand waving.
It's pretty easy to catch it, really.
That, and the context of it all.

Ok, fine, believe what you wish. This will not be the cause I choose. As being wrong in it makes me look loony.
Laura Ingraham is a turd, but I don't buy that this is an deliberate Nazi salute. There would be nothing to be gained from slipping that in there and pretty much everything to lose. Besides that, there's no shortage of intentionally odious, vile shit coming out of the convention to condemn.

No one in their right mind would be saying this if the evidence for Laura's thing was just pictures. If you gif'ed every single one of those Hillary moments I guarantee none would look even close to what Laura did. No, she probably didn't do a Nazi salute unless she purposefully wanted to be attacked by ess jay dubyas, but this argument is really weak.

That's pretty bold. Almost like you're an all seeing crystal ball wielder or something. I'm sure she has accidentally looked like a Nazi a few times in her life. Especially having to wave at people all the time.

That was a picture perfect nazi salute. You don't pull that off by happenstance. You have to practice to to get it to look like that.

I just think she was copying that dumb image of Trump then a split second later realised what that looked like and tried to save the whole thing.
Wouldn't a perfect one include angling the arm at the elbow and then extending it?

I think she's doing that "pledge" to Donald and it's not a Nazi salute per se. Still fascist, though. Crazy we're at a point in time where this is debatable. Also that a person thought to have made a Nazi salute doesn't immediately say she wasn't and apologize for appearing to do so.
Nope, but her benefiting from it isn't a foregone conclusion either.
Lmao

Stunning to think that the powerful wife of a white, southern politician who presided over the largest increase in black incarceration in American history gets a pass, when clearly her history of coded racism suggests she knows full well the intent of her obvious Nazi salutes.
I shudder at the mere thought that you could have any other interpretation of her shameful dog whistles tbh. It's like you guys are willfully ignoring history.

Lmao Laura Ingraham tweeted this:
"It's Hillary...hands down!"

Not sure if serious.
It is really hard to tell in a thread like this, when people actually think Ingraham dropped a Nazi salute.
Not even close, that and the fact that the Nazi salute uses the right arm, not the left.

What really weirds me out too is how robotic her mannerisms are.
Seeing it on loop just proves its not a Nazi salute but a choreographed set of waves.
Front wave, paannn, palm, palm, palm, and point and point

I like how you posted two pics that were likely seconds apart from one another that clearly show she's waving at someone
sorry to burst your bubble, person with awful point
I hope you were being sarcastic ;p
It is probably possible to make most politicians look like they are giving the nazi salute.
None of those look like the Nazi salute.
she did it because she knows a bunch of idiots are going to defend her no matter what. she thought she was being cute and will likely play the victim and accuse crazy liberals of going after her.
