Listening now

Dunno whether he's right Re Middle east, but he's right on the button re this reporter who is also getting on my nerves. You'd think Sky could afford better

[krish]

I watched this yesterday... think there was a link on the other thread on hand luggage / terrorism

Don't like the man personally over his self-promotion and arse-licking of Sadaam, but love it when he takes down the neocons and right-wing media a peg or two
- remember him in Capitol Hill giving this US Senate committe a good rogering?...

Its a rare day when you get one over George the words; throw, minnow and shark, spring to mind.

Goodness me. Sky's Anna Botting now knows it, too!

I don't know whether he's right or wrong, but I found him very convincing:

'What a silly question - what a silly person you are......'

brilliant-brilliant!!

Whether people like him or not it seems she couldn't rubbish his arguments/opinions (and she would have like 3 people talking in her earpiece if they could help her).

[Lawrenzini]

George Galloway is an egomaniac, but it's a good job he is. Would you stand up before the US senate and say that?

I don't know about this one. On the one hand, I'm thinking well done Sky for providing a lengthy interview with George - their accuser. Secondly George can be as inflammatory and rhetorical as he wants to be, the sky reporter cannot. Thirdly, George deliberately spent the whole interview diverting questions using sleight of hand (eg. Lebanon is not Palestine anyway) to promote his preferred agenda, and distort perceptions. And I think these are true observations about the interview, irrespective of whether you support the Palestine, Lebanese, Iraqi, Israeli or US causes. I just think George might be dangerous, if he wasn't such a universally recognized prat.

I think the sky reporter was asking the usual loaded questions (like how dare people supply israels opponent with weapons!) and George was expressing his incredulity at the questions and their seperation from reality.

I think it said it all that the sky reporter was reporting from israel and had footage of dead israeli soldiers running throughout the whole peice.

Still, credit to sky that they had the balls to feature him.

Have to agree with a lot of what he says.

I think its great that someone actually can argue against the biased reporting that tends to fill our screens these days, especially since 9/11.

Nothing wrong with seeing a news reporter getting lambasted - most of them are getting so hard to watch these days.

As I have always said, terrorism is terrorism no matter who carries it out.

OWNED

The world could do with more George Galloway's. I mean the way he stood up to that US Supreme Court was AWEOMSE

Imagine George as PM - "**** OFF BUSH, I AIN'T YOU BITCH NO MORE"

As usual George is making alot of sense. Hezbollah is alot more popular now, than it ever was. And who the hell do America think they are to give Irasel weapons?! And yet they moan with Iran helps Lebonoan.

Excuse my spelling

Galloway has my vote for PM

I don't think defending your country against foreign invaders can be considered terrorism.

What a shame that more of our elected moneygrabbing career building liars do not have the courage to speak more honestly just as he did in that interveiw.

I don't think defending your country against terrorism can be considered terrorism, either.
