Galloway speaks at a US Senate meeting:

wow!

 

[I think not]

A terrorist appeaser and Saddam sympathizer, big surprise you like him.

 

[para-dice]

Another US simpleton speaks.

 

[Martyr]

OOPS!!!

I posted the same thing!!!Oh well - too late.

Sorry, I should have scrolled down in the topics more!

But, I do think this guy is awesome!

Galloway tells it like it is.

Not the way he would like it to be, not the way it should be, but the way it is. He covers nothing up for the sake of political correctness. He is absolutely right. The world needs more George Galloways.

 

[earth_as_one]

Awesome!

 

[para-dice]

bump.

I guess it is easy to toss off a childish, sarcastic, unsupported one liner to put down someone like George Galloway, who has never come out in support of either terrorists or Saddam Hussein. This sarcastic disdain is an insult to the topic author as well as the other posters.

RE: George Galloway Brit

I think George Galloway is a media-obsessed-one-trick-pony.

It's all very well and good him appearing before the senate nearly every week, banging on about the rights and wrongs of the iraq war (which actually ITN does have a point, he was seen taking money and gifts from the Saddam regime).

Also, Juan, at least you dont have to put up with him as a contestant on Canadian Big Brother for 8 weeks!!!.

Once again, as an MP should his priorities be with his constituants and NOT appearing on TV and taking "gifts" from tyrants?.

Are you saying he appeared before the U.S. Senate more than once?

You say Galloway was seen taking gifts from Saddam Hussein. Do you have any proof that this actually happened?

If Galloway was on a TV show, you didn't have to watch it. Did you?

I'm sure Galloway thinks he is serving his constituents. Again, do you have any proof, or a link that says Galloway was taking bribes from Hussein? Galloway just won a big law suit against people who unfairly accused him of things he didn't do.

RE: George Galloway Brit

George admitted becoming quite close friends with Saddam, I dont think the senate would be petty enough to haul him over the coals if there wasn't the slightest bit of proof.

And concerning his TV appearences, well actually while he was on "Celebrity big brother", there were many critical votes and debates going on in the house of commons, so actually, yes, he is doing diservice to the people who elected him into office, as well as those who didnt and are now supposedly "represented" by him, how can they be represented while he's swanning off to the US and appearing on reality TV shows for weeks on ends?.

I ran across this by accident, but If Galloway was paid 50,000 pounds by an American newspaper because they said just about exactly what you are saying, I would say that is proof that the allegations are wrong.

Galloway wins damages for Iraq libel

Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Galloway wins damages for Iraq libel

The anti-war MP George Galloway yesterday accepted £50,000 damages and a public apology from an American newspaper over a claim he was paid £10m by Saddam Hussein to oppose the conflict in Iraq.
The high court in London was told the allegation, based on forged documents given to a journalist by an Iraqi general, was "false and without foundation".
Mr Galloway immediately demanded a government inquiry, saying the documents were evidence of a dirty tricks campaign against him and other anti-war campaigners.
According to the article in the Boston-based Christian Science Monitor, the payments pointed to a concerted effort by the regime to win friends in the west who could promote Iraqi interests, first by lifting sanctions against Iraq, and later by blocking war plans.

Oh, I'm sorry #juan, I was under the impression you didn't think much of him either ever since he started bashing Canadians.

As far as I'm concerned, Galloway is an idiot who can't see past his big red nose. I won't go into the many building and reconstruction projects Canadian soldiers have been involved in, or that Afghanis in all areas ask to have Canadian soldiers in their area.

Or is he brilliant only when he bashes the US?

Can you say Flip Flop? :!:

RE: George Galloway Brit

I think old Georgie boy is getting a wee bit ahead of himself....he's simply an MP, who SHOULD be taking care of his elected ward nd not playing the "global superhero".

Smacks of arrogence, self-rightiousness and megalomania to me, who's he going to stop eh?, the US government? ha dont make me laugh, the UK?, he's irritated us enough with his double standards (oh his secret mistresses have been out in the papers here for a long time) and now Canada?..clever man.

And actually Juan, while I find his appealing to the senate irritating, it's actually his lack of duty to his electorate I find more irritating, and how do I know?, simply the hundreds of polls and letters printed in the news papers complaining about it.

It would be GREAT to see Mr Galloway as President of the USA. We sure could use an honest man like him in the White House.

Here in Minnesota we loved it when he referred to ass wiping Senator Coleman as "lickspittle". It was a title well deserved!

 

[Daz_Hockey]

RE: George Galloway Brit

(he's not that honest...ask his mistress and 2 year old kid)

 

[#juan]

A man's personal life is his own business.

After all the things Galloway said about Coleman, why didn't Coleman sue Galloway?

The American press is after Galloway so he must be doing something right.

If the American newspapers libel him again, I'm sure Galloway will sue them again. And probably win again.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"George GallowayGeorge Galloway, MP (born 16 August 1954) is a British politician noted for his socialist views and rhetorical style. He is currently the Respect Party Member of Parliament (MP) for Bethnal Green and Bow, and was previously elected as a Labour Party MP for Glasgow Hillhead and Glasgow Kelvin.

Galloway is perhaps best known for his vigorous campaign to overturn economic sanctions against Iraq, and for his visits to Saddam Hussein in 1994 and 2002. In October 2003, he was expelled from the Labour Party when a party body ruled that he had brought the party into disrepute over the 2003 invasion of Iraq, when he called the New Labour government "Tony Blair's lie machine," [1] and stated that British soldiers should "refuse to obey illegal orders." [2]

In January 2004, he teamed up with the Socialist Workers Party, leading members of anti-war movements such as Salma Yaqoob, and other figures on the British left such as film-maker Ken Loach and journalist George Monbiot (who later left), to form RESPECT The Unity Coalition (Respect), a new political party to the left of Labour."

I like the Tony Blair Lie Machine comment.
The Labour Party can't believe in free speach...

RE: George Galloway Brit

The Labour Party does.......New Labour doesn't, trust me, they are not the same.

The Labour Party doesnt exsist anymore and George, along with people like Tony Benn and John Prescott are "old school Labour", the party that stood up to the US and didnt send my countrymen to war in vietnam, even after the US decided to spitefully ruin our pound and economy because of it.

Now does that sound like the party of Anthony "my father was a tory MP" Blair?.....no.

as I say, there are a lot of things that are difficult to understand, but the crux of MY arguement is that there is a LOT more to being an MP than fighting with the governments of the western world.....what about social care matter?, public health, education?, what's he done for that?...diddly squat thats what.

 

[fuzzylogix]

Sign me up as another fan of Galloway!

I hadn't seen these clips before. If only more people were able to stand up and present as lucidly as him.

I love the way the righties here try to discredit him for personal reasons.

And Daz, one fights with the governments of the western world because their policies and atrocities affect the entire social care, health and education of the world.
