Britain
Farewell, George Galloway
2016-03-31
[BLOGS.SPECTATOR.CO.UK] It takes an achingly long time for the British to see a lickspittle of mass murderers for what he is. For years, you jump up and down shouting ‘look at what he’s done!’ All but a handful ignore you. But he’s a character, the rest cry. He’s not like those poll-driven, focus-group--tested on-message politicians, who speak in soundbites. He is passionate about his beliefs.

So he is, you reply, and that’s the problem. Since the marches against the Iraq war of 2003, I have written against George Galloway
... a British national embarrassment, not particularly honest, more fond of dictators and terrorists than he is of his native countrymen except at the peak of the election cycle ...
. He has supported Baathist regimes it is fair to describe as fascist: Saddam Hussein’s Sunni Arab dictatorship in Iraq after it had gassed the Kurdish ethnic minority, and Bashir al-Assad‘s Shia Arab dictatorship as his terror provoked revolution.

#11  Dang,

I am so disappointed.

I thought someone had finally shot his sorry ass or fed him to the wood chipper or chummed for Great White Sharks with him limb at a time.

Please do, Georgie-Porgie. Some extra brain damage wouldn't be noticed on you.

#4  I was hoping for an obit as well. But I went and read the Hitchens link and it has brightened my morning a bit. Chris had a way with words; "When Galloway came to testify before the Senate and delivered a spittle-fueled harangue instead of answering the direct questions posed to him, he became a populist hero on the Left, was rewarded with a moist profile in the New York Times that praised his general feistiness, ...". Worth a read.

#3  George Galloway:
"Galloway is the most sordid of this group because he managed to be a pimp for, as well as a prostitute of, one of the foulest dictatorships of modern times." - Christopher Hitchens, Slate, 2007
