Murdering Blair is ‘morally justified’: Galloway

LONDON: Killing British Prime Minister Tony Blair in a suicide bombing would be morally justified as revenge for the war in Iraq, firebrand lawmaker George Galloway has said. In a magazine interview that was widely reported on Friday, the MP for the anti-war party, Respect, was asked if it would be justifiable for a suicide bomber to blow up Blair provided there were no other casualties. Galloway told GQ magazine: “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 July 7.” He was referring to the London attacks last year, when four Islamic extremists killed 52 people and themselves by bombing the transport network. “It would be entirely logical and explicable,” the leftist lawmaker said. “And morally equivalent to ordering the deaths of thousands of innocent people in Iraq - as Blair did.” Galloway said he would alert the authorities if he learnt of a plot to kill the prime minister - but only to prevent generating “anti-Arab” propaganda. “Such an operation would be counter-productive because it would just generate a new wave of anti-Arab sentiment whipped up by the press,” he said. “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.” Galloway said he would rather see Blair brought to trial for war crimes than killed because innocent civilians would also likely die in such an attack. His remarks immediately sparked a storm of protest. MP Stephen Pound, of Blair’s governing Labour Party, told The Sun tabloid newspaper: “These comments take my breath away. Galloway is disgraceful and truly twisted. “Every time you think he can’t sink any lower he goes and stuns you again. It’s beyond reprehensible to say it would be justified for a suicide bomber to assassinate anyone.” Galloway, who formerly belonged to Labour but now represents his own left-wing Respect party, is no stranger to controversy. afp

I say arresting this idiot for threatening the Prime Minister would be justified.

Putting Galloway away for a long, long time is morally necessary. What a buffoon. Does he think that being a good Dhimmi will save him?

Wow, I read this and wonder what the press has to be hit with for them to call a dangerous liberal psychopath exactly what he is.

I don't see what's "controversial" or how you can label someone who sees justification in murdering the Prime Minister as a "firebrand," a word that connotes youthful over-exhuberance or activism...not treacherous or traitorous.

I realize I'm focused on the press, not this idiot, but I believe their coddling of these freaks is worse than the freaks themselves. To them, he is no different than a Bush, Rumsfeld or Blair...who they regularly call "controversial" as well, but would never use the more positive label "firebrand."

The failure to see Galloway properly hung for treason is coming back to bite Blair, I see.

Shouldn't this guy be tossed in the klink or something? I know if someone here made the same crack about President Bush, the Secret Service would certainly come in and ask a few questions at least. I know if a couple of cases like that. I remember one guy I talked to on a dialup BBS back in 1988 where he made a crack (he was for Dukakis & Bentsen) about Bush 41 and Quayle when they both came to Pittsburgh about eliminating them both "with a grenade" and "doing the country a great service" he was detained by the Secret Service until they found out he was joking. I also remember in 1992 soon after Clinton got elected, one guy called up KDKA-AM and said that he (Clinton) "would not live to the end of his first term" the host of the time, John Cigna, was taken back by that and the next day said the Secret Service requested the tape of that call.

Of course, the first case was a joke and the second, well, I dunno, but I've heard of this Galloway guy and he is very serious on this so why ain't he in the hoosegow? I'm sure the UK has similar laws on the books about threats like we do in the U.S.

"...a wholly different moral order..." !?!?!? How many arbitrary "moral orders" are there to justify or rationalize what is NOT moral? (Other than the communists' inverted moral codes) According to Natural Law: for every extreme action there is an opposite extreme reaction. Galloway invites extreme thoughts about zapping him for his HATE SPEECH. At least the Brits also suffer insane and inane politicos.

Respect magazine interviewed MP Galloway-anti-war party and asked if it would be justifiable for a suicide bomber to blow up Blair provided there were no other casualties. Galloway told GQ magazine: “Yes, it would be morally justified.

Wow, I read this and wonder what the press has to be hit with for them to call a dangerous liberal psychopath exactly what he is.

***I'm not sure that "journalists" should make a diagnosis of "psychopath". Respect's interviewer certainly asked, or baited Galloway with, a provocative question. Galloway's answer exposed himself (with a hate-speech WAR CRY) as a pyschopath. I KNOW of a "different moral order" that will justify tossing Galloway into a stirring hive of manic muslims.
