Symbolism

Freepers famously find all sorts of meaning in the eyes of politicians via photograph. There is an endlessly amusing segment of Free Republic that confirms their narratives with secret symbols everywhere. Sometimes these catch on, like the idea that Obama always has his middle finger out. But mostly, it's just highly musing paranoid crackpottery:

Thus, Freepers are inspired by a gossipy conspiracy blog post about Jay-Z to analyze the a dance move. On the way, they stop off at some rather kooky places where Freepers' ability to politicize everything comes up against the contentlessness of Hollywood gossip:

mgisthas noticed that some blacks like conspiracies. This means all blacks do.

What’s interesting is that black gossip forum’s think he is “illuminati”. The black community seems to realize these 2 are phonies. Pretty sure it’s the little white girls being those songs.

Jonty30 has his own conspiracy theory:

I can certainly believe much of it. Beyoncé was definitely not pregnant. She did an interview, where she was supposedly 6 months and her pregnant stomach completely collapsed when she sat down as if there was nothing there.

Of course, Freepers like RginTN are all about rumors of homosexuality.

I heard JAy Z was gay...this info about a female mistress is surprising...

/sometimes tabloid distraction from politics is necessary for good mental health

Sgt_Schultze sees a secret sign:

That's an anti-Semitic gesture known as quenelle

PhiloBedo also sees the significance of hands on the shoulder:

It is! It’s the “I hate Jews” salute.

mgist splits the difference.

Some of the female dancers in the video are brushing their shoulders off. Jay Z is definitly doing Quenelle gestures. He doesn’t even get close to the shoulder.

Talisker Found a very suspicious picture of Obama!

Wow.

That’s not over his heart.

What a smug POS.

liberalh8ter isn't a conspiracy guy, he just wants Obama to get off his lawn:

Whether or not Obama and the clown posse are depicting the Quenelle isn't really the issue as there are discernible differences in what they are doing versus the Quenelle. The issue here is that it is unbecoming of the leader of the free world to be associating with controversial figures. Jay Z is a murderer turned-rap star. His wife is the equivalent of a highly paid pole dancer. We should demand better from the Commander-in-Chief and he should know better. We have sunk to the level of my septic system when it comes to the expectations of decorum from our elected officials.
