Leb: Debate Erupts into On-Air Fistfight |
2011-11-15 |
[An Nahar] A heated debate between Baath Party leader Fayez Shukur and Mustaqbal ... the Future Movement, political party led by Saad Hariri... Movement official ex-MP Mustafa Alloush erupted into a verbal clash and a fistfight during a live talk show on MTV on Monday. The amusing vid's at the link, but it won't embed for some reason... As the two were arguing over the Syrian crisis, Shukur repeatedly asked Alloush to refrain from describing Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Lord of the Baath... as a "tyrant", "criminal" and "liar". Alloush, however, insisted that he had the right to speak his mind. "You are a liar and your master is a liar," Shukur shouted at the rival Mustaqbal official at that point, which prompted Alloush to hit back with "shut your mouth!" and "eat s***." An infuriated Shukur retaliated with a tirade of obscenities and cursed Alloush's mother. He then hit Alloush with a pen and a cup of water and carried a chair to assault the rival politician. The show's host, a shocked Walid Abboud, physically intervened at that point and prevented Shukur from reaching Alloush. The program then went off air before resuming around 10 minutes later, with the two foes returning to their seats and the episode witnessing no further incidents. |

#7 Gorb, my personal fave is "nal din chourem bebek" Which approximates to "f%ck the religion of your fathers moustache." |

#2 Given the venue, anything not involving firearms and explosives is Civil, well-reasoned discourse, gorb. |

#1 Civil, well-reasoned discourse. Lebanon style. An infuriated Shukur retaliated with a tirade of obscenities and cursed Alloush's mother. Shoulda stuck with the traditional moustache insults. |
