Big Brother's back on the idiot box, and George is in the papers again. How fitting.

Any opportunity they get, they will use it.

..an award from the Boy Scouts or Gee Dub. The greater the good deed, the greater the retaliatory smear, the greater the honor.

His moral compass still works and he speaks the truth
boldly at all times. He is fighting for the world.
He is the best of the best.

is the art of truancy :eyes:

Him, or the people who have made a mission of stirring up slurs against him?

Blair attack 'morally justified'


Galloway interview
MP George Galloway has said it could be "morally justified" to assassinate Tony Blair, but stressed he was not calling for his death.

In the interview, former Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan asked: "Would the assassination of, say, Tony Blair by a suicide bomber, if there were no other casualties, be justified as revenge for the war on Iraq?"

The Respect MP replies: "Yes it would be morally justified. I am not calling for it, but if it happened it would be of a wholly different moral order to the events of 7/7.

He was also asked whether he would alert the authorities if he knew Mr Blair was to be assassinated by Iraqis.

Mr Galloway replied: "My goodness this is a moral maze.

"Yes, I would, because such an operation would be counterproductive because it would just generate a new wave of anti-Muslim, anti-Arab sentiment whipped up by the press.

"It would lead to new draconian anti-terror laws, and would probably strengthen the resolve of the British and American services in Iraq rather than weaken it. So yes, I would inform the authorities."

The bottom bit scares me a bit from gorgous George but doesn't surprise me. He's such a sharp mind and a great orator, but at times in his judgment he's a bit of a dick. "Sir i salute your indefatigability"

He is a far far better spokesman for the American people than
most in our own Congress. I would trade one million lieberscum traitors
for one honorable Galloway.

George Galloway: straight talking truth teller

Good try though. :shrug:

do not know the history of Sir George Galloway, nor saw or heard what he did in our Congress and to the scum, Norm Coleman.

Personally, I adore the man. He is one of my heros.

previous to when he came to the attention of Americans when he appeared at congress. I'm British and have known Galloway's politics for a long time. His moral judgement is appalling, he allows himself to be the whore of dictators and much of his views and his present companions would break your liberal heart.

"Sir I salute your indefatigability"

Please provide a link.

Long before Galloway came and told off Congress and oftentimes since he's been an ass and a fool.

Bravo for being anti-war, but otherwise he is a pompous prick. His favorite pastime is to steal from charities to finance his high living. He's a showman and little else.

you can't condemn george galloway for thinking, saying and acting as many people wish more of our representatives would - and as sir george acts in DEFIANCE of the pigmedia and all they champion...what the fukk is this! surely any vitriol a liberal/leftist type has would be better spent on nazipoohs and gopig hustlers etc?

because he is a "lower form of life", he is "scum", and he "makes you sick". Is that the extent of your criticism? If so, it is pretty typical of the "arguments" of the Galloway bashers and it speaks volumes about you.

than about the victims, and Yes, the MSM has once again misquoted and misconstrued Galloway.

if nothing else.

and making it look like suicide.

Why all the outrage over his statement?

Keep in mind that Blair (and his buddies) are murdering sociopaths, and their killing spree is active and ongoing.

The scenario in question sounds like instant karma to me.

I wouldn't shed a tear for any of these fascist assholes who meet their demise, be it by a suicide bomber or being shot and hung upside down by their fellow citizens.

Fuck 'em!

Good riddance!

I used to think the man was great, i'm from the UK and have followed his political career in and out of the Labour party. He is now just an egotistical lunatic who's more bothered about getting what he says aired than the actual substance of what he says. His judgement is appalling, and he supports morally and with his words those in Iraq who are murdering Gays, Trade Union Members and the recent classic those wearing shorts, just because they oppose US and UK. He'd get in to bed with any brutal murderous dictator, which is a shame becausze he's highly intelligent and a great orator.

Here's the story:

British War Critic Says Killing Blair 'Justifiable'

By Kevin Sullivan
Washington Post Foreign Service
Saturday, May 27, 2006; Page A16

LONDON, May 26 -- George Galloway, a member of Parliament and fierce critic of the U.S. and British role in the Iraq war, said Friday that he understood how someone angry about the war could find it "morally justifiable" to kill Prime Minister Tony Blair.

"From the point of view of someone who has seen their country invaded and their family blown apart, it's possible, of course, for them to construct a moral justification," Galloway said in a statement published on the Web site of his Respect party. "But I've made my position clear. I would not support anyone seeking to assassinate the prime minister."

A Blair spokesman, traveling with the prime minister in Washington, said Blair had no comment. "We may think a lot about it, but we're not going to say anything about it," the spokesman said, speaking on the condition of anonymity as is standard practice here...

(clip)

...Galloway is perhaps best known in Washington for his appearance in May 2005 before a U.S. Senate committee investigating allegations that he profited in the United Nations oil-for-food program, in which Iraq was allowed to sell oil under U.N. supervision. Galloway used the appearance to make a theatrical and fiery denunciation of the U.S. justification for the Iraq war as a "pack of lies."

The mans a great orator and could have been sucvh a useful tool against Bush/Blair and the moral debate. Its just that his morals have become twisted and his ego's more important.
