[STARWISE]

Galloway Ping! Let's see the complete transcript: questions AND answers.... then we'll have a "fair and balanced" report. This man is unbelievable.... he needed a saucer to catch the disdainful drool spewing from his foul mouth.

[Anti-Christ is Hillary]

I thought this was the funniest thing I have seen in a very long time. This Galloway character started lecturing us and turned a pale shade of purple while he went thru his racist diatribe. He looked like a cross between The Swimmer (Ted Kennedy) and CA House Rep. George Miller. At one point they flashed to Norm Coleman and I could swear that he was trying not to laugh in this pukes face. I would have paid to see that. I haven't heard so many neo-con's, Zionists, war mongers and right wing Christian extremest in one speech in my life. He could probably give Al Quida a few pointers on their talking points.

This dude should be a candiate for sainthood, or the gallows...

I suspect the gallows are more appropriate..

Semper Fi

[Lord Nelson]

You know this is the first time I have heard anyone on the receiving end of this scandal defend themselves. I guess until now the rest of them just hoped this scandal went away. This speech means he is scared. He is corrupt or know who is.

This little tirade makes me think that Huntington is full of crap. He said that the West would unite and that each cultural group would banner together. Other than Australia I don't see any coming together. The rest of the West are enemies of America. America will find allies across cultural regions. India is the most promising.

Entertaining if nothing else.

Go Coleman Go.

That said, you know what woulda been really, really cool? To have ZELL MILLER going at this guy. THAT would have been fun. I'd have taped that and watched it over, and over, and over again.

Galloway was on Charlie Rose...PBS tv...late last night. Nonstop lies from Motormouth Galloway. He never took a penny. He's an idealist. The US went to war to steal Iraqi oil, blah, blah, blah.

[Rome2000]

Political views

He has a reputation as a fiery left-winger. He is an advocate of redistribution of wealth, greater spending on welfare benefits, and extensive nationalisation of large industries. He opposes independence for Scotland. He supports the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. As a practising Roman Catholic he is personally opposed to abortion, although he supports RESPECT's policy of promoting a woman's right to choose. He supported the equalisation of the age of consent for homosexuality. As a Labour MP he was a member of the Socialist Campaign Group. In the 2001 Parliament he voted against the whip 27 times, placing him as the 9th most rebellious MP.

Galloway has attracted most attention for his comments on foreign policy, taking a special interest in Libya, Pakistan, Iraq and Palestine. His support for the Palestinian cause began in 1974 when he met a Palestinian activist in Dundee; he converted the rest of the Dundee Labour Party which flew the Palestinian flag over the Town Hall and twinned the city with Nablus. His involvement with Iraq began after the war in 1991 when he visited the country to observe the effects of United Nations sanctions.

In an interview with the Guardian, Galloway outlined his political views in relation to the Soviet Union:

"I am on the anti-imperialist left." The Stalinist left? "I wouldn't define it that way because of the pejoratives loaded around it; that would be making a rod for your own back. If you are asking did I support the Soviet Union, yes I did. Yes, I did support the Soviet Union, and I think the disappearance of the Soviet Union is the biggest catastrophe of my life. If there was a Soviet Union today, we would not be having this conversation about plunging into a new war in the Middle East, and the US would not be rampaging around the globe."
