Bush Didn't "Bow"
Legal Insurrection Blog ^ | 4-6-2009 | Legal Insurrection

Posted on 04/05/2009 10:19:05 PM PDT by Legal Insurrection

Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs thinks the Obama "bowing" incident is nonsense, and to prove his point, has posted a video of President George W. Bush bowing to a Saudi monarch under the title Bush Bowed Too. Now I like reading LGF, and it has done great work exposing the Paliwood industry of staged Palestinian massacre videos and photographs.

But in this instance, the post is misleading. The screen shot in the post shows Bush appearing to bow, with the King's hands slightly raised. But if you watch the video link, it is clear that Bush was not bowing, but merely bending down so the King could put a medal attached to a ribbon over Bush's head. [The screen shot upper right shows the medal on Bush immediately after the supposed "bow"]

President doesn’t bow to anyone but The Lord.

LGF was removed from my daily browsing list when Charles got carried away with his anti-Christian shtick.

Bush kissed Abdullah's cheeks and held his hand. No bowing.

Obama bowed to Abdullah and then kiss his hand.

Both were despicable, but Obama's actions were worse.

I saw someone post this else way and I think its very fits this subject to a ‘tee’!

Obama burns our house down and all some people response is to point out that Bush struck a match sometimes.

“LGF was removed from my daily browsing list when Charles got carried away with his anti-Christian shtick.”

Same here. I got to sick of reading all his anti-Creationist crap. I look at LGF maybe once a month.

Me too. I waited forever to get an account over there right in time for the shark jump. It’s sad. I deleted the bookmark from my toolbar.

Charles Johnson is a leftist. He is more reasonable on the subject of jihad than most other leftists and that has resulted in him having what was a useful anti-jihad blog for a few years. But the bottom line is that he is a leftist. Thus he will seek to undermine conservatism at every turn. Beware Charles Johnson and LGF.
