I was a big Newt supporter and, as a conservative posting on a conservative website, I appreciate that we are not statist ostriches who stick our heads in the sand. We can handle the truth. I had never heard of MEK before today, so I cannot confidently express an opinion about it. I do know that Mr. Fisher does not disclose that the EU removed MEK from its terrorist list. I can also say that I watched the entire video and Newt does an excellent job, including a condensed version of how Washington and his troops saved this experiment.

According to Homeland Security Secretary Janet “Big Sis” Napolitano and Attorney General Eric “Black Panther” Holder everyone here, as well as most other conservatives, tea partiers, etc. are terrorists.

1. Shaking Hands does not equal bowing
2. All of the Muslim terrorists I know frown on women shaking hands with non relatives.
3. If Obama had been president in 1961, he likely would have labeled refugees from Cuba as terrorists, and send them to Gitmo until Castro decided where to put them.

The MEK story is very, very complicated.

Well Obama claims "When it comes to the Saudi King, I wasn't BOWING" and here's the pic that proves he was telling the truth.

“why on earth would these people want to shake the hand of some unknown American politician”

Because it’s a cult and they were told to

As far as him being hypocritical (as the article states) with his past criticism of Obama’s bowing tendencies, there is a difference when it comes to the proper protocol of a president versus that of an individual. The former is representative of an entire nation, and as such needs to take special care not to be seen as placing himself (his nation) in a position of subservience, even if only for a moment, even if only as a seemingly meaningless gesture.
