Thanks, I needed a smile this morning.

Took one between the eyes, I hope.

The headline exaggerates, hypes and is misleading. His convoy was stoned.
Regardless, maybe this crazy communist will finally realize that the jihadis hate him because he is British. Maybe he will wake up one day and say “these bloodthirsty savage barbarians hate me and want to kill me. Maybe Western Civilization is right after all”
Don’t hold your breath waiting.

It sounds like Galloway’s cries of “Peace in our time” are being recognized for what they truly are...

Yes to our shame he is voted in by the rag heads in his constituency.
But all governments have them, your President is having a guest into the White House that I would have shot down on sight and would have been decorated for doing so, a gentleman by the name of Martin McGuinness.
And if you ever become devious enough to outwit a politician,.....you have become one yourself.

Galloway Argument: Peace In Our Time

Mob Counter-Argument: Rock

I have to say, the mob won that debate, hands down!

The people throwing the stones are obviously not “progressives”.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving fellow.

Agreed.

Some politicians - and it appears that Galloway is this kind - cannot see themselves as important unless they are in the headlines. Bereft of noticeable talent, they resort to outrageousness in lieu of accomplishment.

In many circles, such people are known by the brutally honest sobriquet “attention whore”.

How’s Gridlock this fine morning?

Apparently the English have the same problem we do with a significant portion of the voting public unable to deal with truth and reality.

Perhaps you missed the fact that the above was not this: So have a heart when you judge us. As stated in the first sentence, WE in the US have the same unfortunate issues.

I would not stand in judgment of our next best Allie in all the free world. Who knows when the next Sir Winston, or Maggie Thatcher will rise to the occasion.

Is the traitorous Galloway a Scott in a Scottish constituency, or a Scott living in an English constituency. I wasn’t able to discern that exactly from his website. The constituency appeared to be English, but...

if your English you cannot speak the truth or you get prosecuted. This is a restriction you do not seem to have thrust upon you in America. Not quite yet, but just you wait Enry Iggins, the threats are already being voiced.

And finally, my paternal Great Great Grandfather left Scotland in 1844 for these shores. The other side of the paternal family left England in the 1850’s. I hold both heritages in high esteem.

Galloway is a typical leftist. Never met an enemy of his country that he didn’t like.

It’s the best kind of stoned, IMO

One of my favorite vids of Jeremy Paxman cleaning Galloway’s clock:

It would be impossible for any thinking person to feel sorry for him.

I don’t know about the pro-Israel part, but they are not so pro-Palestine because they constantly have to put up with them, unlike many pro-Palestine groups who like Hamas.... from a distance.

A humanitarian convoy led by maverick [pro-terrorist] MP George Galloway carrying medical supplies for Gaza has come under attack in Egypt... The convoy, carrying aid worth £1 million, was pelted with stones and vandalised after it stopped in El-Arish, a small town around 28 miles from the Rafah border crossing with Gaza. "It's an absolute disgrace,'' convoy organiser Yvonne Ridley told AFP. "The power was cut. Under cover of darkness members of our convoy were attacked with stones. Vandals also wrote dirty words and anti-Hamas slogans,'' she said. "Several people in the convoy were injured in the attack." (snip) "George Galloway is still in negotiations," said Ms Ridley. "What we have agreed to do is to separate the medical aid from the non-medical aid. The non-medical will go into Gaza via the Egyptian Red Crescent." ...In early February, it was alleged that three Islamist terror suspects arrested in northwest England had planned to leave the country under cover of Mr Galloway's convoy. Intelligence sources said that the men were planning a terrorist operation abroad.
It's an absolute disgrace that the POS and his fellow undiscriminating supporters of terrorism survived the attack.
