The kind of blunt honest talk we need in Washington.

1. Yeah, we need a drunken CommuNazi hooligan in Washington...sleeping it off at the local jail.

12. I remember when antisemitic filth like Galloway were found only on the right.
When did a small but hard core of leftists lose their humanity along with their bearings?

13. OK, Jim, for once, just to see what it feels like...
...how 'bout producing an argument, something, ANYTHING, that actually supports in some way the venom you spew. You've got google at your fingertips just like the rest of us, craft an argument supported by facts for once in your life -- or don't they teach those skills where you've been propagandized?

14. You asked for it, you got it. Just click on the YouTube link below, then click on the vid.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu4GBnxi3wc

At 4:29 in, Galloway spews:
Show us the shekels.

A second or two later he re-spews:
Show us the shekels, Richard.

End of discussion.

16. THAT'S your case?
You're seriously defending your remarks, calling Galloway "a drunken CommuNazi hooligan," and referring to him as "antisemitic filth" with THAT? You MUST be joking.

Jeez, what do you do when one of your neighbors, out walking or working in their front yard, forgets to bow in submission as you pass by? Report a hate crime?

17. Richard Perle got in trouble for accepting bribes. That's where the "shekel" comment came from
And just barely escaped indictment when he was overheard offering classified US documents to an Israeli embassy official.

Edited on Sun Jan-06-08 05:09 PM by Mr_Jefferson_24
...comparisons that other Dem candidates don't like being made, at least not where everyone can see them, that has led to DK simply being excluded. That's their answer to the only real people's candidate. Clearly they're afraid of what could happen if he were to receive the same broad exposure the rest of the field gets.

2. I could listen to him all day. He sure has a great grasp of the
facts. No spin what-so-ever.

4. He sure is dead on in his remarks to this caller...
...I know he has his detractors here at DU, as he tends to be bluntly honest in all matters, including those of the Middle East. In fact, he speaks the kind of blunt, harsh truths on the conflicts and geopolitics of the Middle East that can even get a fella Swift Boated right here at DU (see post #1).

Edited on Fri Jan-04-08 12:45 AM by Mr_Jefferson_24
...legendary boxer Joe Louis used his fists, just one crashing blow followed by the next. You step into the ring for a verbal slug-fest with George, you'd better be well prepared 'cause this is what your gonna be looking at:



Hometown (Detroit) hero Joe Louis is memorialized in this waterfront
sculpture that had white residents protesting that it was an icon of
“black power” when it debuted in the 1980s.

Go to youtube and search on "George Galloway Savages SKY NEWS!" -- suffice to say this woman showed up unprepared. George does not pull punches. And it's these kinds of hard hitting truths (in the Sky News video) that bring out the Swift Boaters (see post #1).

9. Incredible. I still occasionally pull up the clip of him tearing Norm
Coleman a new one. This is what an opposition party would sound like. I don't know what this new trend is to dish George Galloway. It's bullshit. If these people an iota of the intelligence and passion he has we'd be more than half way out of the woods.

15. The first caller he entertained is a fucking moron.
We could never guarantee 100 percent effectiveness of destruction of Iran's nuclear facilities. Some of those facilities are buried under over a thousand feet of rock. It's like trying to blow up NORAD, which is buried under Cheyenne Mountain.

18. Nor do we have any justification in contemplating...
...such a thing to begin with. Iran is not breaking any laws or threatening us in any way, and certainly not doing anything that the U.S. isn't doing.

Edited on Sat Jan-05-08 12:18 AM by Selatius
the Non-Proliferation Treaty is essentially dead already. I would argue that we should look the other way if Iran tries to develop nuclear warheads to achieve a balance of power in the region. If both sides have nuclear warheads, then the doctrine of MAD is invoked. Nobody would be willing to go to war anymore without fear of causing "mutually assured destruction." If anything, the MAD doctrine might actually stabilize the region and prevent big players from making reckless gambles that could result in annihilation. It's the reason why the USA and the USSR didn't wipe out the entire planet in a stupid bid to see who is "king of the mountain."

20. Agreed. As mad as it seems, MAD seems the best practical...
...recipe for at least near term stability in the Middle East.
