If you know anything about Laura Ingraham you would know this was 100% planned and practiced just to stir shit up. She's done and said stupid shit like this over the years just to poke and prod "the left".

why are people saying it's a shop?
that was literally the image of trump they had on screen at the time she made the gesture
These should go in the OP, I think.

Yeah, I was wrong. It's legit. Wow. I thought the photo was a shop. Nice job photographer.
You're not a fool wanting to believe we didn't live in this kind of world. It should be shopped. We should be glad to have found it was. Instead...

WHAT IF GETTY SHOPPED THEIR OWN PICTURE THO?
It's win-win for her. Riles up liberals, and signals to actual hateful bigots that she's someone to check out. She keeps laughing while cashing checks. Basic conservative business principles.

She sure gestured alright.
This has been the most hillarious week ever.

I mean if you don't see the difference here, the way she extends her arm out... I mean I wanna believe it was a mistake too, but it just ain't that.

She locked her elbow and closed her fingers and straightened up as if giving a salute.
If it was just a wave it's the most unfortunate wave.
And I knew the pic wasn't photoshopped

that's not the same. The arm isn't fully extended. That's like comparing a peace sign and the middle finger and saying they are the same because the same finger was used.

It is probably possible to make most politicians look like they are giving the nazi salute.
With still images, I agree. This video makes it a pretty clear though.It is probably possible to make most politicians look like they are giving the nazi salute.
Barely related, but this reminds of the hilarious "Nazi story" that Stephen Colbert did back when he was on the Daily Show, but they cut because they got threatened with a lawsuit.

I mean, get those pictures in motion and let's see.
It doesn't look like a Nazi salute. Just awkward hand movement. I know it's the Republican party and she's a conservative and it's easy to think they're sympathetic to Nazism, and its easy to knock every stupid thing they do, but they're Americans foremost. And they're not going to be appealing to Nazis. KKK makes more sense.

I'm guessing this is a joke, but if it's not - Obama is not saluting here - no locked-elbow, wrist, fingers together and cupped, nothing

Oh wow it wasn't shopped!? Hehehe. What an election season.

I'm not sure if it was a freudian slip type deal, or if it was a troll job just to cause a stir. I'm leaning towards the latter. Her expression makes me think it was intentional.
She knew how that gesture would be perceived. She doesn't smile when she does it instead she has an expression that says "this is taking some guts, but yeah, I''m doing this". Maybe I'm overinterpreting here but us Germans unfortunately put that salute on the map after copying it from the Italians.

I don't know why anyone would think that's an accident. Why would any of these people be given the benefit of a doubt?

Those poor 18 delegates..
It's the way she holds the salute for a second and the way her expression immediately softens when she breaks it that convinces me. That, and the stiffness of her elbow movements once she realizes. Seems like she got a little too caught up in the moment there and had to play it off when she realized what she had done.
If she didn't hold the salute and it was all one motion, I would say this is overblown. But it's pretty clearly two separate movements there.

That's a Nazi salute there pal
Do you know the distinction of a salute? Purposefully locked elbows-wrist-cupped fingers held together...?
