Heres a video posted by Newt Gingrich on his own YouTube channel today.
Skip ahead to 4:06 to hear Gingrich say:
if we bow to the Saudi king, which the president [Obama] did, which I thought was frankly not very good when President Bush did it.
Newt, you & your party were in power once & you stupidly gave it away to the Democrats - thanks alot!!!
Just shutty uppy. If you can’t give support to young conservative leaders like Sarah Palin - then just go away. Your party is dead to me now.
He has no point. Men walking hand in hand is a sign of friendship. Bowing is a sign of subservience and subordination.
They’re completely different gestures with completely different meanings.
Besides, Newt said nothing of the hand-holding. He said Bush bowed. It never happened. Newt is flat wrong.
Let me correct that. A neo-nazi hate site has a link to Charles Johnson’s LGF,
ttp://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/025572.php
Robert Spencer won’t put up the link, but you can google it if you can stomach the crap on the site.
I have my issues with GWB, but there is no comparison in this case.
“LGF doesn’t have to link to any hate sites... it has more than enough anti-Christian hate to qualify as one itself. It’s a shame, it used to be a decent site until Charles took up the anti-Christian crusade.”
I apologize for my wording. Let me correct my statement.
A Canadian Neo-Nazi site has a link to the LGF site. Atlas Shrugs and Jihad Watch sites have the story. The Neo Nazi site isn’t linked but can be googled.
Bush held his hand.... Not sure about the bow though.
His smear of Spencer and Jihadwatch wasn’t a good job of anything. It was outright defamation.
That was my last straw with LGF. The place is dead to me now.
But, if he combs his hair just right, we won't be able to see it.
That’s the “little terrorist fist bump”, I guess.
I can`t be too hard on Charles and LGF. He did a magnificent job in bringing down Dan Rather and does a great job in uncovering phony photos the msm puts out.
Nice try on the part of the WH. Problem is, there are other photos of obama shaking hands with the king - and with other “short” leaders - and no bowing takes place. The Saudi king doesn’t look much shorter than obama anyway. That’s just a silly argument.
Newt is no longer the Newt of old. Not sure what happened to him. Marriage/Wife changed him? He has a tumor? Maybe he was taken over by an alien life form? I dunno...but the old Newt is gone.
Move along folks, nothing to see here - our leaders (Republican and Democrat) have been kissing the royal Saudi ass since the 1970's.
You are correct — the King almost tripped on their walk so Bush took his hand the rest of the way. Huge difference then bowing down to the King.
Ginrich is an insult to Republicans after some of his own antics during the Clinton Impeachment by having to resign. Cannot believe that some people still listen to him after he toured with Hillary on Hillarycare.
Do you happen to know where I could find an old news report? I would looooove to have it on hand! ;-)
>> We have already lost America so it didnt take 4 years of Obama.
Seems pretty foolish to surrender so early.
