Galloway declares support for Barghouti in PA election
2004-12-08
Controversial British parliamentarian George Galloway threw his weight behind Fatah firebrand Marwan Barghouti in next month's Palestinian elections and said he may visit Palestine to campaign on his behalf. Speaking at a conference organized by Lebanese supporters in Beirut, Galloway also called on the people of Lebanon to reject UN Security Council Resolution 1559, calling it an attack on Syria and Lebanon. The traitorous pig maverick MP also praised what he called "Iraqi resistance" against "U.S. imperialism." Galloway, who was expelled from the governing Labor Party last year, largely because of controversy surrounding his links with Iraq during Saddam Hussein's regime, was in Beirut following his successful court action against a U.K. newspaper over allegations that he was being paid off by Hussein's regime.
Anything to keep your name in the papers, eh, Georgie?

#8  i love the MSM euphemism of choice for the convicted murderer, Barghouti: "firebrand." Very convenient, as this word is never used in conversation, allowing its true meaning in this context to glide past the readers. It's as if the MSM decided to consistently refer to OJ Simpson as "excitable."

#7  Why all this meddling? Why can't the guy just leave the Paleos alone to make their choice in peace, no matter what might happen? Sakes.

#6  I figured AlGore would endorse Barghouti - it's that "Lockbox" that Marwan's in that Al actually loves so much

#4  TGA Mr. Gore has come out steadfastly for an equitable ME peace process than involves both peace and process and Cat 5 cables for all. It is an intense plan than the DNC fears will not work in dial-up country. We shall see.

#3  I'm sure he made the declaration of support after stopping by the deposit window of his bank.

#1  Maybe Galloway is hopeful that, someday, he too can run from a prison cell.
