  • Devil spawn.

  • Christ Fox news is disgusting. I wish they went to Iraq.

  • So let me get this straight.

    Conservatives have a problem with BOWING, but they're alright with BARFING on a Japanese leader, and holding hands with and FRENCH KISSING a Saudi prince.

  • I really don't understand what Obama did. He showed respect for another countrys leaders and royal family. Channy showed the world how the United States has no respect for other cultures and their way of life. If It was up to me I would tell the entire world ( all Countrys of the world) To bomb the United States and kill all the american and get it over with. They are rude and ignorant people. The rest of the world would be better of without them. Now that I would thank god!

  • wow-your comment is appalling; what country did you say you're from?

    Using your HATRED as a starting point, I think it follows that we, (the U.S.) should just bomb Afghanistan outta here & get it over with- I mean look at all the lives&money we're wasting on that arm pit of a country, and for what, OPIUM?

    Yes, we have our share of jerks in this country, but we have the gift of free speech here....not like Iran that executes those that raise their voices in protest. A despicable comment,"nic"

  • Thought we stopped bowing to the japanese emperor back in dec /41?

  • Bowing is the normal greeting in Japan.

  • I am aware of that Silver ...but to bow first and deepest is also a sign of subservience there too. in effect obama was bowing to what could be protrayed as his superior, Did you happen to see the emperor bow? I didnt ,,,did that meen he didnt see obama as an equal?

  • I can see how people could perceive this as a subservient bow. However, its also possible that this was simple respect, or an apology bow, but I can't say what Mr. Obama was apologizing for.

    Yes, the Emperor did bow in response to Obama.

  • Sorry silver i watched it again after your comment i didnt see him bow in return

  • "or Palin-Cheney, don't be sexist"

    ahahahahhahaha

    what a joke this whole show is, and what a bigger joke is the whole fox "news" network.

  • Comment removed

  • Cheney, Obama, Bush..........no difference.

  • The dumbing DOWN of the modern conservative movement . . . Buckley Goldwater Nixon's Southern Strategy Reagan (talk & DEBT) Religious right hijacks Jesus. GOP hijacks the flag. Limbaugh & Hate Radio Fox "News" Bush/Cheney Palin Birthers & Teabaggers Beck Prejean THE ABYSS - Welcome conservatives! YOU ARE HERE!
  • Copenhagen draft calls for a U.N.-created "government" responsible for taxation, enforcement and redistribution. In other words, the draft treaty explicitly demands that the world body erect an international mechanism with the power to impose emission-reduction targets for each country, determine acceptable levels of CO2 and levy global taxes.

  • That studio must wreak of sulfur...

  • Palin are you serious? She couldn't even finish her Governorship and did not quit to move to another Office. She's taking advantage of her fame and all she has to do is use her fabricated midwestern accent and that will bring in the money. I mean come on a book about what? "Going Rogue" imagine of a liberal made a book like that. "He's going Communist" they will scream.

  • BOWINGG' what a fag. like a little kid pointing fingers' these people are pathetic.

  • Yawn!

    This is the reason why you should burn your television...

  • Fox and Cheney, wow! After 8 years of being the worst VP in history, he wants more. Might as well hand the Democrats Congress, the Presidency, no need to show up if that's the best the GOP can do. BTW when Washington and Adams met individuals they bowed. It wasn't until Jefferson that they shook hands, but since Fox doesn't research anything they wouldn't know that.

  • I love Dick Cheney. At least he says whats on his mind not like the ASSHOLE named Obama who can't make a decision about anything

  • you sir, are an idiot

  • god that was a bad joke

  • These people are such monsters. Bill Kristol is satan incarnate and prolly had pre-knowledge of what was going to happen on 9/11. These people are willing to sacrafice american life to make the country the way they think it should be (see years 2000-2008). They had their shot and they failed miserably. They will always quest for power just for powers sake. Not for the reason of improving the country. Why they think we would ever give them power again is beyond me.Fuck neocons

  • no bowl but satanic handshake

  • Assuming the internet hasn't been censored and taken away from us by the next election, there's no fucking way that ticket would ever happen.

    The MSM is on it's way out if it continues this propaganda, and that goes for CNN and MSNBC too!

  • a cheney/palin would literately be the 'dick and bush, retards coming back for more' ticket!!!

  • The republican party is clearly lost on who should be leading them right now. These squabblers couldn't even give us healthcare in '94 when the economy was PRIME!!!

  • Any uneducated person would not know the meaning of customs and courtesies.

    Ignoring foreign customs is folly, especially when dealing with an ally.

    Just another way to try and attack Obama.

  • "You could also look at the comparison & think Cheney 2012! Cause after 8 years of total failure by an arrogant ignorant War Criminal who tortured people, started two unwinnable wars in the Middle East costing soldiers lives-n-Trillions of $, & drove the US economy to the brink of utter ruin, why wouldn't you want to reelect him? But I'm just his lying cunty daughter"

  • I think Obama showing respect is admirable, but with Republican Nazis and their FOX News TV it is all about bullying the world and disrespect for other cultures' traditions.

  • He probably actually wanted to blow him so that he could further "apologize for the USA"!!

  • These clowns that joked us into two quagmires that's wasted trillions of dollars and thousands of lives. I pray one day some vet will wipe the smug little shit eating grins of their faces.

  • The bow is a show of respect not submission. The lower and longer the bow, the more respect shown.

    His bow was proper from one head of state to another.

  • Impeach him!

    LOL

    You fucking wingnuts !

    Better get used to the idea of a 40 year democrat dynasty.

    The republican party is dead in the water.

    Sarah Palin is your hope for the future of the party?

    HA HA HA HA

  • Are you kidding me!! Cheney, who is gonna vote for YOU? BUSH AND THE REST OF THE TERRORISTS!

  • Cheney/Bush is why no one in the world respected the United States. Cheney not bowing is a perfect example.

    It is something done out of respect for another's culture. Be realistic and not a hypocrite, when other people come here, you expect them to do as we do. If you want respect, you have to earn it. It is not a God given thing you know.

  • Is this a joke, he bowed big fucking deal. In Japan it's like a hand shake. Show some diplomacy for Christ sake!

    Chenney 2012, God help us all if that happens!!!!

  • he bowed... who gives a FUCK!?!?!

    its not like he french kissed him

    dumbass fox news

  • that's because Cheney is a fucking dick

  • Dick cheney is a GREAT example...

  • *offered*

  • The REAL question here is, what in the hell does this have to do with anything? Cheney is no longer in office and for some reason the liberal democrats are not smart enough to realize that.

    Once again the democrats have offer the American people nothing.

  • Bowing shows the President understand native decorum the Japanese don't have the cultural aspect of handshaking its considered weird in Japan. Good for Obama following others peoples customs.Republicans are a terrorist hate cult!!!

  • If americans elect cheney, they will bring on the end of the world.

  • Obama bowing makes him totally unqualified for the Presidency. The dijon mustard, teleprompters, the Hawaii birth certificate. Such an un-American person. McCain on the other hand, born in Central America, cheated on his wife, is overweight and unhealthy, broke military conduct, you know, a true American. And Dick Cheney, four heart attacks since he was 38, shot a dude in the face, unhealthy, probably wont make it to 2012. But at least he don't eat DIJON! Thanks Fox News.

  • Fox News is also a terrorist hate cult channel .The Republicans have no leader,no plans,no logic and lost the election.

  • Liz Cheney, what a dick!

  • "Internet" = World Net Daily and Michelle Malkin's blog

  • "douche" = andrewh23

  • bowing is a sign of respect and Bush/Cheney were the poorest diplomats in the history of the country. The editor of the week standard rag can fuck himself. Sarah Palin would resign the presidency long before getting to Japan.

  • Bowing is a display of weakness and submissiveness. Your foolish rationalizations are absurd!!!

  • It's no different than when Dubya bowed to the Saudi King and when Ronnie Raygun bowed to the British flag accepted his honorary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II.

    All are gestures of respect, not subservience.

  • No, it's a well-known and defined gesture of subservience!!! There is no way to spin it.

    Also, it was Obamao who bowed to the Saudi King, not Bush 43. Maybe you are parroting what some blogger spewed, Bush accepted a medal from the King, not a greeting.

    And Reagan, are you kidding me? Now you're comparing apples and oranges. Reagan was out of office, and being knighted is an honor, a long-lived tradition with set protocol.

    You know, like the protocol Obamao broke when he bowed, yet again.

  • You Republitards are really stupid enough to think this is important huh! There must be something wrong with your teeny tiny pea brains ... I offer you my pity.

  • so do you honestly think he feels weak and submissive to the emperror of japan whos position is just celebratory and doesn't hold any real power? give me a break. He did it as a warm gesture as the bow is very customary in Japanese culture. If anything his demeaner is making the world relate again to America and see it as a friendly nation rather than an agressive empire. If he bowed to Putin of russia or the chinese president then I'd say you have a point, but Japan, come on!!!

  • He all out teabagged Putin when he dropped the missile shied, for nothing in return.

  • "missile shield"

  • I think you are not following the news. Russia and China always threatened to vito any action against Iran and were not very cooperative on many issues in the past. Now thanks to Obama's diplomacy Russia is on board for the first time, they just put on hold their nuclear enrichment work with Iran and they threatened iran with sanctions for the first time. On international diplomacy, Obama unquestionably did America a lot of good, now internally he seems to be struggling because of the big divide

  • Here's the facts, Iran also benefited greatly from Obamao's abandoning of the Poland anti-ballistic missile shield. He says our concern is their short and medium range missiles. Maybe he missed them launching a satellite into space, showing the world their long range capabilities. As for the deal, it's pointless stalling... What has changed? 6 to 9 months worth of low-enriched uranium to Russia if Iran doesn't pullout, yippee. Talk to me when Iran agrees to freeze it's enrichment and scrap WMD.

  • "Bush/Cheney were the poorest diplomats in the history of the country"

    Yepper. Only one indicator of Boosh's theory of diplomacy needs noted: He appointed our greatest modern War General (Powell) as our chief diplomat (Sec. State). What message does THAT send the world?

    At least Powell had the stones to get out gracefully.

  • BTW, Cheney is not our vice anymore so what difference does it make?

    Dumbasses!

  • The internet is a buzz? ROFL ...what will they think of next...this is too funny.

    The only buzz is the one in your head prick!

  • Once again...another super scared and totally insecure democrat running his mouth about lil Sarah!

    What is it about this lil girl that completely scares the hell out of the democrats?

    A secure person doesn't feel the need to slam their opposition they sit in confidence knowing they are right.

    Scared Liberals ROFL!!!

  • No one is scared of Sarah Palin - Don't you understand that ALL democrats want her to run in 2012? It would bring us an easy landslide victory. The woman couldn't even finish a single term as governor, abandoning her responsibilities in order to go on a book tour. Get your head out of your ass.

  • Comment removed

  • Cheney 2012... in hell or at least in one of those CIA secret fun camps

  • He should be in Federal Prison. Or at least at Nuremburg for his trial.

  • President Obama bowed out of cultural respect. Get over it people. oh and Dick Cheney? 2012? is that a joke? will he even still be breathing then? C'mon.

  • wtf are these people on?

  • No Palin wouldn't bow because she's too ignorant to know their customs .The only thing Palin knows about Japan is she can't see it from her house .And Liz Cheney is such a daddy's girl . That's not always a good thing when your daddy is a crazed liar and a crook .

  • maybe have a look at this:

    watch?v=5U6fL7Y4BZA

    state leaders don't bow.

  • Give me a break Shorackoff, ha...? This is Fox, political, manufactured, cat nip . Cont.

  • At least Obama didn't go skiping hand and hand with some oil prince through a garden like Bush did .

  • Is there some rule against that ?

  • Yeah - the rule is that if you shoot someone in the face, you go to jail. Hopefully, it will be enforced one day.

  • What would con-servatives and republi-cons know about respect ..... NOTHING !

  • not only that youtube  sold out.

  • A confident person would have no qualms about bowing in a society where that is part of the etiquette. Only those approaching from an insecure mindset would find fault with it.

  • Maybe Cheney 2012 is referring to herself and not her dad.

    .

  • Dick is a vile sick person - let us all pray he gets nowhere near the WH again.

  • Good luck with that you big fat lesbian.

  • Wtf...Why is this such a big deal. So Obama bowed to a japanese guy in japan....It happens all the fucking time.

  • Cheney Palin 2012

    NOT! Who in there right mind would vote for that

  • Millions of Americans!

  • @KushPizzaSleep

    30% of American voters.

  • sarah palin is ignorant and cheney is dead but refuses to lie down...

  • Dick (Darth Vador) Cheney in 2012? Come on, give us a fucking break... Liz as his running mate for Vice-president?

  • liz `s try to run.

  • No, Dick's not Vader, he's not badass enough. He's Palpatine!

  • If he does,God help us all.

    Forget the end being near. That will be the end.

  • Oh, HELL no!!

  • Sickening. These corporate partisan trolls are so out of touch it is unbelievable.

    I wouldn't vote Cheney for national dog catcher....

  • Would you vote Cheney as "Master pooper scooper"?

  • What a useless news program.

  • NO WAY BITCH! Your dad is a criminal.

  • The dumbing DOWN of the modern conservative movement . . . Buckley Goldwater Nixon's Southern Strategy Reagan (talk & DEBT) Religious right hijacks Jesus. GOP hijacks the flag. Limbaugh & Hate Radio Fox "News" Bush/Cheney Palin Birthers Beck Carrie Prejean THE ABYSS - Welcome conservatives! YOU ARE HERE!
  • Sad but true. Time for revolution

    or....

    gimme som dat o'bama money

  • America's most watched new channel talking about the US president bowing. Conclusion? American public is just too fucking gullible and easily manipulated - especially the south. That is why this channel is watched the most.

  • I don't think FOX is the most respectable of news channels...especially to those who don't watch news channels at all

  • LMAO @ "the south". Your screen name says it all, you ignorant dumbass. Have a nice day.

  • Bowing is a symbol of respect..

    Why would he not bow? We have no reason to not show the Japanese respect. The people seem to think we're better than everyone and respect equals weakness.

    It's this small mindedness that's destroying the dwindling republican party.

    As far as a potential circle jerk between these clowns after the show, well, that's a given.

  • Wow! The internets were literally SHUT DOWN because of all the 'BUZZ'! L-o-effin-l! WTF?!!! Who, but Fux Newz would even think that? It is good for POTUS to bow.  Wouldn't it be proper for the Emperor of Japan to shake a hand? Geez, GOP, got anything else?

  • I hope Cheney runs. I hope he runs with Palin or Carrie Prejean. It'll be great to see a two term Obama Presidency.

  • I suppose courtesy goes hand-in-hand with diplomacy and the last administration was inept at both.

  • Palin/Cheney 2012! Google it!

  • I'm thinking nobel peace prize 2010 on this one. Who's with me?

  • Oh, so that's what he meant by american exceptionalism.

  • Palin/Cheney?

    How about Cheney/Cheney? heh.

  • If Darth Cheney had bowed his pace-maker might have fallen out his ass. . . .

  • Nasty faces in a smelly dark room.

    Circle jerk anyone?

  • What a very ugly bunch of characters. Is it just me or do a lot of conservatives have strange looking faces.

  • reneg....you're right, many Republicans don't look like real human beings do.....they look like deranged cult members.

    Or as Bill Maher said....the lizard people.

  • Ever seen charlie rangle or pelosi?? They are seriously not human

  • Only reason Wallace is on tv is because of his father. Love to see the big Dick run in 2012, love to see him as he loses. Bowing is an extention of courtesy, too bad these right wings dingleberries cant see that, but they dont know anything about courtesy. Go figure.

  • It must be tough for the Onion to top these bozos.

  • Let Dick Cheney go ahead and run in 2012.

    Maybe he can announce his candidacy before his indictment for war crimes.

  • tools anonymous...liz and dick...sounds like a cheap porno....hmmm....mebbe it is........

  • what a dog faced cock eyed

    piece of shyt the BITCH is !!!!!

  • She has GOT to be kidding!

    To suggest that Dick Cheney would be a viable 2012 candidate just shows how insanely out of touch the GOP is with the average American.

    Wasn't Cheney's approval rating like 11% or something? the man is DESPISED!

    On the other hand....CHENEY / PALIN 2012!!

    What a dream ticket...for the Democrats I mean.

  • Dick Cheney didn't bow to the Emperor because he doesn't care and he's disrespectful of the culture. It's great to have a President who actually respects the world for once.

  • These people are disgusting. No shame, no cultural sensitivity, or respect.

  • Yeah, and who in their right fuckin mind is gonna vote for a vampire warmonger Liz?

  • @ :27

    sarah palin wouldn't bowed to the emperor of japan, because her mini skirt would have pulled up over her thonged hillbilly asscrack, possibly all the way up to the tramp-stamp. then she would have asked which one of them makes the chopsticks.

  • Epic post

  • Cheney didn't bow because he is a racist idiot who has no manners, and had he done it he would have had another heart attack.

  • Fox and Freaks! I love this station. Sarah Palin wouldn't bow to the PM of Japan 'cause she has no idea who he is. Bill Kristol: smarmy lying a-hole.

  • chris wallace= tool box

  • cultural sensitivity, tolerance, and respect... when did these become bad things?????? Dick Cheney looks like a stiff old gun lobbyist and former Haliburton CEO who doesn't know the difference between a human and a quail. I'm glad he's no longer representing our country to the outside world.

  • Go ahead Liz, please make your Dad run in 2012, I bet he will win and with Saraha Palin as V.P., now that's a winning combination! (Sarcasm)

  • Hard to believe that Cheney is that culturally obtuse. But it's absolutely dumbfounding that even Fox News would present it as being a positive thing. OMG, even toothless hillbillies are more culturally aware than that!

  • I didnt think war criminals could be president?

  • He's obviously a communist because he shows respect! Lame!
