[Warpy]

16. This is the most beautiful thing I've heard in years.

Thank you.

[NewJeffCT]

31. Would he want to be one?

I don't know about that.

[brainshrub]

105. I nominate that we make Galloway an honorary American citizen.

[jwirr]

132. Better yet make him an honorary DUer. He is our kind of

man.

[Snotcicles]

161. I Second

[tavalon]

197. Don't think he'd want to

He knows who the enemy is. However, we ought to make him an honorary DU member.

[imax2268]

275. seriously...

did you see him...he never once looked down to read a script like the misadministration in DC...he told them like it was while staring them in the eyes...!

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

2. Thanks for the link !

Lets make him a citizen then elect him President!

[mom cat]

237. Ditto! I just sent him the following e-mail:

The Honorable George Galloway

I woke up this morning to hear your solid stirring truth telling speech about Iraq posted on democraticunderground.com.Thank you for your courage in the face of the global corporate/military/media elite for whom 1,000,000 lives are chump change.
We would welcome your input on this international forum at any time and welcome wholeheartedly you and everything for which you stand!
You are a lion indeed and I love it when you roar!

112. GALLOWAY IS GOING TO BE INTERVIEWED BY WOLF

on CNN in just a minute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tavalon]

198. I have a dumb question

How does one address a member of the British Parlaiment? I would like to use the proper salutation towards such an esteemed politician.

[Saynt]

211. Well I Guess...

that is to say I could be wrong... but here in Aus, which I would hazard a guess would be very similar to the British our politicians are 'The Honourable' or I think 'The Right Honourable' for the PM and higher ranking officials but that's only an official title used in parliament... I mean we call our PM 'Johnny'.

[Arriba]

276. Reply to what to call your "leader"

Well, Saynt. Here in the US we call our "president" MANY names. He's formally called "Mr. President" or SIR!! the latter by his various lackeys. Other than Condi Rice who once slipped and called him her "husband". THAT was interesting. Especially from a woman who's never been married. What SOME of us call him has a wide range variations.

Shrub, Dubya, Dumbya, Chimp-in-charge, Bozo-in-Chief, dipwad, lying sack of manure among other things. The language I use when I'm hurling invective at him when he's babbling on TV, for the most part, would violate the rules of this and most other message boards. So I'm not going to enumerate those.

This is my 1st post here. I found this place through a link from a friendly, to me, message board on Delphi message boards. But I DO know a bit about Shrub as I've lived in Texas for over half my life - since 1976. We had to put up with this bozo as Gov. for 6 years before he got foisted off on the rest of the country by the US Supreme Court. For that I apologize. Not that I had anything to do with the Supremes decision or ever voted for the sorry sack of manure but I would have gladly have put up with two more years of Shrub as Gov. to spare inflicting him on the rest of the country. And myself as well. He's a worse Prez than he was a Gov. and he was a REALLY bad Gov.

Since I've only spent an hour or so here I certainly haven't had time to explore more than a tiny fraction of this board. But from what I've seen I like it already. And don't anyone here be afraid because I'm a Texan. Not ALL Texans agree with what has been done to our state and to our country by BUSHCO and their subsidiaries. Not ALL of us are like that. There are many of us - an growing - that want to take back our state from the idiots that are currently running it and then with a strong TX Democratic vote take back the country from the current idjits that are running both the country and the state.

I DID read the rules here that didn't allow personal attacks. I made the assumption that that meant personal attacks against other posters. I figured Bush, his henchmen and lackeys were fair game. These idjits were either elected or willingly took jobs with the corrupt bunch of snakes and idjits currently running the country. I'd call THEM fair game. If they didn't know the job was dangerous when the took it they dang sure should have. You make yourself a "publicly elected or appointed" figure, you got to withstand a little hurled invective. And you're lucky if that's ALL that's get hurled. Rotten vegetables come to mind.

Course we got a few here in the Texas political ruling class where tar, feathers and being run out of town on a rail comes to mind as well. But most of us have gotten more civilized than that. We'll settle for tossing the bums out of office in elections. Or in the case of Tom DeLay throwing them in the slammer for felonious violations of Texas election funding laws. 3 of his aides have already been indicted. And the DA in Travis county where Austin, the Texas capitol is, is STILL investigating DeLay. Ronnie Earle, the DA, has held his office for over 30 years and he's NOBODY'S fool and VERY careful and cautions when he builds a case. But if he builds a case it tends to STAY built. And this is most likely the most important case he's ever built. Yes he's being cautious, but if he indicts DeLay I'd bet dollars to donuts that DeLay WILL get nailed. And if convicted of only breaking a Texas election law he SHOULD get time in a TEXAS slammer, not a federal one. Texas slammers are WELL known as snakepits and DeLay may find the other inmates may harbor some resentments against him. Or fancies toward him. Either way - the guards dang sure don't care.

229. Thank you

Now, I will send my letter.

264. That's what you might write on the envelope, but ...

6. This guy for president

I would throw 95% of our democrats off a cliff for just one of these guys.

Boxer, Conyers, McKinney - We're keeping you. You others - good riddence. If you ever showed some fucking balls maybe you'd be worth keeping.

[tavalon]

199. I'd help n/t

[ztn]

208. HERE HERE!!!

WHERE WAS THIS FIREY SPIRIT DURING THE ELECTION!!!!

THEN AGAIN, WHERE WAS THE FUCKING MEDIA!!!???

WHAT HE SAID IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE TO THE WESTERN WORLD AND 48% (MAYBE LESS!) OF THIS COUNTRY!!

[clem_c_rock]

218. Exactly - except it's probably only 10% of this country

Full of nice, highly draftable, stupid fucking rednecks.

[Quixote1818]

7. Thanks for that! nt

[kerrygoddess]

8. Some text here

LUTD has some text of pre-hearing and hearing ...

British lawmaker George Galloway, implicated in the Iraq oil-for-food program, said today he word reject the charges against him a U.S. Senate hearing and issued some scathing words for the “Republican lynch mob.” Galloway was a witness today before the committee examining the United Nations oil-for-food program.

“This group of neocons (neoconservatives) is involved in the mother of all smokescreens,” he said of the committee. “I want to turn the tables on this neocon, pro-Israel, pro-war, Republican lynch mob.”

He earlier told Reuters that he had "no expectation of justice from a group of Christian fundamentalist and Zionist activists under the chairmanship of a neocon (President) George Bush who is pro-war.”

“I come not as the accused but as the accuser,” he added.

Galloway offered some choice words for Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., the chair of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, as well.

[Im with Rosey]

121. What Senator was he addressing?

Was it Coleman? Looked like a great crowd behind him, I hope this makes it into mainstream.

[Snotcicles]

164. Yes Coleman Senator Skrinkle is what Ed Schultz calls him. n/t

[clem_c_rock]

9. kick it and vote it

Goddamn - a politician finally telling the truth.

[Malikshah]

10. Kicked, bookmarked, bronzed in

frikkin gold.

This is SO -- Sir, have you no decency.

What I would give to have seen Coleman's face.

I love it.

OMG-- it's a breath of fresh air, a ray of light. It is history.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

21. Half the time he looked like he was peeing his pants,

and at other times when he was asking the questions he'd get this arrogant smirk on his face, which was quickly wiped off by our hero.

[Just Me]

46. A ray of light, indeed. Isn't it just beautiful after living in the dark

world of the neoCONs?

When I get to experience these moments of inspiration, I am totally re-charged!!!!

[tavalon]

200. "Sir, have you no decency?" Exactly right!

This was on a station other than Cspan too. Maybe, a yokel or two heard this.

[CantGetFooledAgain]

11. I'm speechless. Everybody MUST see this.

This is the turning point, folks.

Dzika: thanks for posting this. Is there more?

[Gelliebeans]

12. Give George Galloway

a round of applause

[doublethink]

13. Galloway's testimony sends Bush to the Gallows !!!!

Well like I said in another thread, I can dream anyway ... I'm forwarding this thread to everyone I know ... this is a must see. Thanks for the link ... coooooooool ....

[pbartch]

99. Galloway warned us!!!

why didn't we listen?


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

[Botany]

14. a patriot!

[Old and In the Way]

15. Whoa...no holding back there.

How can we get some of those politicians working for us here?

I'll bet that doesn't make the Nightly News....

Thank You, Mr. Galloway.

[Spazito]

17. Thank you SO much for this clip!

It needs to be sent FAR AND WIDE, it needs to be sent to ALL the media outlets with a DARE for them to play it uncut and uninterrupted!

[Paul Dlugokencky]

230. C-SPAN???

Has anyone been able to find this on C-SPAN? My search on c-span.org didn't bring this up.

[spooky3]

18. Omigod, this is like watching a movie! Perfect words, perfectly expressed

[pacalo]

63. And very passionate, straight from the heart. God Bless Mr. Galloway.

[smoogatz]

19. This guy freaking rocks.

Too bad it takes a foreign citizen to speak truth to power in this country. What the fuck is OUR opposition party so afraid of?

[stevietheman]

83. They're afraid...

of losing much of their big corporate contributions. I think this is obvious.

[smoogatz]

260. Of course. But does it go beyond that?

Fear of being labeled extremists? Or insufficiently patriotic? Or do Democrats still buy the antiquated proposition that occupying the high ground in the civility debate is some sort of victory?

[FreedomAngel82]

20. Thank you for this video!!

Much appreciated! Love it!

[rocktivity]

22. We must download the MP3 and send it to everyone we know

And we must ask the coporate media what they're going to do about it.

THE TEA IS IN THE HARBOR! I REPEAT--THE TEA IS IN THE HARBOR!

[caligirl]

24. Hey I remember when a Deaniac came up with that while i was

supporting Dean. Love it.

[CantGetFooledAgain]

23. This is news. If this is not covered

...by every evening news show, and every cable news show, with the best parts LEFT IN, then it is absolute proof of the censorship of the media by the administration.

Let's hope that it hasn't come to that.

[caligirl]

25. I am pretty sure I have seen the Absolute proof. Valerie Plame.

[manly]

202. you won't believe this...

I just watched wnbc news at 11:00 pm, to see how they treated this fantastic piece of news.
They didn't even mention it. The only possible explanation is that it was the first item up, and I missed it. Which I don't think happened. I think what happened is that wnbc news is a bunch of chicken-shit, gutless, stupid republican assholes, and were afraid to show it.

[BobRossi]

26. This guy is more of an American than shrub himself!

I have goose bumps.

[MelissaB]

80. Welcome to DU, BobRossi!

[tavalon]

213. Actually, he's more of a human

than Shrub. Not to put too fine a point on it.

[Mandate My Ass]

27. WOW just WOW

[Beelzebud]

28. This guy just said more for We The People than the democrats have

since the start of this fiasco.

When do we get real politicians like this guy? When do our representatives grow a spine, and speak truth to power as this man just did?

[Blue Diadem]

29. Thank you!

I saw it on TV and was elated to hear someone speak the truth.

Thanks Dzika..now hubby will be able to see it this afternoon.

[electricmonk]

30. That was one of the most awesome things I've ever seen

I sure hope he has some good bodyguards. He just made a lot of enemies in DC.

[Nordmadr]

32. Now there is a true Scot!!

FRRRREEEEEEEDDDDDDOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

[NewJeffCT]

33. replying so I can see it at home tonight

We can't really stream here at work...

[tenshi816]

34. There was a time I didn't like George Galloway

In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, back when everyone's emotions were red and raw, he said some very unkind things about the American people - not just the * administration, but the American people themselves (tarring us all with the same brush) - that as an ex-pat living in Britain I found very hurtful.

But I've gotta say, today I am loving me some George Galloway.

[pacalo]

66. Exactly what did he say?

Please back up what you said.

[tenshi816]

232. 8_year_nightmare, how am I supposed to do that?

Back up what I said, I mean. I don't tape George Galloway when he sounds off on television, not now, not four years ago, not ever, on the off chance I might be asked about it one day.

Have you recorded every bit of news and current affairs programmes you've seen over the years? Just because I can't give you a link to something doesn't mean I didn't hear or see it. (This will be the cue for someone to jump in and comment that I have a low post count. I do, because I haven't known about DU for many months. It doesn't mean I'm trolling from that "other" website. For one thing, I know how to spell.)

I live in the UK (and have for 19 years). Do you? If you do, then you can't help but be aware of George Galloway's feelings about the Americans. In the days right after 9/11 he was one of those (along with the likes of former MP Tam Dalziel) who fell into the "well, they had it coming" camp. There are quite a few people in Britain who despise not only the American government, but Americans themselves, and politicians aren't immune from feeling those same kinds of emotions.

Galloway earned points with me in 2003 when he apologized for describing George Bush as a "wolf", because by saying that he demeaned wolves. I love that.

I also love what he said yesterday: "I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is that Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns."

I admire that he speaks his mind. However, some of the other stuff he says and does makes me very uneasy about him.

For example, George Galloway is most assuredly not pro-choice. In the Independent on Sunday newspaper on April 4, he said that he is “strongly against abortion. I believe life begins at conception and therefore unborn babies have rights. I think abortion is immoral.” He also said “I believe in god. I have to believe that the collection of cells has a soul." While still a member of the Labour Party, he was consistent in his opposition to a woman's right to choose.

Yep, good ol' "moral values". This from a man whose Palestinian wife announced on April 30 - 5 days before the election - that she was divorcing him because of his adultery. (Link: http://election.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=466692005 )

More recently, he courted the Muslim vote in the UK election by stressing his religious and anti-abortion views, something virtually unheard of in elections over here, in addition to running a campaign tinged with racism.

After he was deselected from his constituency in Scotland, Galloway decided to stand for Parliament for the newly-formed Respect party in Bethnal Green and Bow, one of the most impoverished sections of London, and also an area with which he had no previous connection whatsoever. Why Bethnal Green? It is my opinion that he felt it was his best shot at getting elected, given that the incumbent MP, Oona King, was not only black, Jewish and a woman, but half-American and pro-war as well, and serving a heavily Muslim constituency. (King herself has said that it's not that she's "pro-war", but rather "anti-genocide". Whatever. It nevertheless must be said that she has a reputation as an MP who worked tirelessly for her constituents.) It is also my opinion that choosing Oona King as a target was a cynical move designed to exploit racial tension.

This is a link to an enlightening article about George Galloway that appeared in the Sunday Observer newspaper on April 17: http://observer.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,6903,146...

The article is called Following Mosley's East End footsteps (Appeals to communalism are once again echoing across the streets of Bow)

Among many other things it says:

"To add to the foul atmosphere, there's a whiff of old hatreds in the air. Oona King, the Labour candidate, is getting fed up with Respect supporters bringing up her Jewish mother, although she says it makes a change from the British National Party bringing up her black father. Last week, King and a group of mainly Jewish pensioners gathered for a 60th anniversary memorial service for the 132 people who died in the last V2 rocket attack on London in 1945. Muslim youths spat and threw eggs at the mourners and shouted: 'You fucking Jews.'"

<snip>

"The media never tell you but Respect isn't a new organisation but is dominated by the old Socialist Workers Party, which ran the anti-war movement. After the great demonstrations against the war, it hoped for electoral gains. In the May 2003 council elections, it flopped. The only seat it won was in Preston, where local priests ordered Muslims to vote for their candidate.

The SWP has learned the lesson and made its own entirely cynical switch. It hopes to ride the religious tiger by persuading devout Muslims to follow the lead of godless communists. Boring old causes have been dropped to facilitate the marriage. 'I'm in favour of defending gay rights,' declared Lindsey German, the SWP leader. 'But I am not prepared to have it as a shibboleth, people who won't defend George Galloway and regard the state of Israel as somehow a viable presence.'"

<snip>

"As the line changed, the party's paper tried to reconcile anti-capitalism and religious fundamentalism by calling on the comrades to protest against Spearmint Rhino lap-dancing clubs.
Galloway's propaganda follows the same pattern. It features a picture of Oona King with a cheesy smile and a low-cut dress. The headline doesn't say 'Decadent Western Bitch', but then it doesn't need to."

Here's another link, to a BBC4 radio interview Oona King gave after the election talking about the campaign: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/listenagain/wednesday...

If you scroll down the left side, it's there. I couldn't get the link to the interview to open without right-clicking and "save target as", but it works if you do that.

George Galloway has also publicly lamented the demise of the Soviet Union and I can't support a politician who says that, particularly given the privileged lifestyle he leads.

Like I said, "Gorgeous George" was wonderful before the Committee yesterday and he told some home truths that needed to be said. I loved the smackdown he gave. On the other hand, he has his own agenda and my feeling, after years of observing his antics and listening to him speak, is that George Galloway's main concern in life is George Galloway. Just my opinion.

[fiorello]

254. Thanks so much for posting this.

I'm sure most DU'ers are caught up in celebrating Galloway's great speech... Galloway's election win was reported here only as the win of an anti-war candidate. Shame when an eloquent anti-war spokeseperson turns out to be a hate-mongerer - hating Americans is also hatemongering, however much some of us deserve it.

[TankLV]

282. He is no "hate monger" - he just tells the unvarnished truth.

To some of you - it is "hate mongering". I don't see it that way.

More power to him I say.

Amerikkka and amerikkkans are not a bunch I have been terribly proud of these past few years. I feel like what the innocent germans must have felt about their own fellow countrymen during that period in time.

Did you know that over 58% of DEMOCRATS in Texas love bunkerboy?!?!

DEMOCRATS!

What is wrong with these people - are so called fellow countrymen?

[welshTerrier2]

35. totally blown away ... can he become Democratic Party Chair??

is this someone that represents all those wacky left-wing extremists i keep reading about on DU?

he didn't sound left-wing or right-wing or any other wing to me ... he just told it like it is ...

why can't Democrats stand up for the truth like that ???????????

[SeattleRob]

91. Bingo!

<why can't Democrats stand up for the truth like that ???????????>


You hit the nail on the head, Welsh Terrier2! Why don't the Democrats stand up and tell the truth like that?

Our party, with Reid and Dean at the helm is doing a much better - but isn't it time they just started speaking bluntly?

[TyeDye75]

When dictators tell us the truth and the President lies to us what does that say?


Oh and go to the Salon war room, Buchanan says the conservative movement is dead.

I'm speechless (almost). After years of almost never hearing the truth out loud I don't know how to respond. I don't know about the rest of you but when I listened to this it brought tears to my eyes!

I hope TDS is all over this tonight because most of the students where I teach watch him. Otherwise they (most) won't see it, sadly.

[BobF]

240. Same thing here...

Sitting at work and trying to hide the tears.

It's been so long since I've heard the truth spoken openly and without fear that I've almost forgotten what a powerful thing it is.

I'm suddenly 100% recharged. We can win. The Chimp Collective is rotting from the inside, and beams of light are bursting through the cracks.

It is NOT over. The Fascists HAVEN'T won.

77. My letter to Mr. Galloway:

Dear Sir,

I would like to personally thank you for your testimony today. The truth you spoke today has warmed many hearts in this country, including my own. We hear so very little of it these days, the truth that is. There are many of us that are opponents of the government that has been elected (selected) in this Nation and your voice was a breath of fresh air compared to the typical media drivel that we have to tolerate. We want the facts, not the spin of politicians trying to cover their collective rumps while they continue to push hypocrisy to its outer limits. I fear that democracy, truth and freedom have slipped drastically away from us in recent years. Today, while defending your name, you have championed a people not your own, but who are today, your brothers and sisters in this fight. I, and many others, applaud you. You are an asset to your Nation.

Sincerely,
Richard A. Reichert
New York, USA

in connivance with the U.S. government. Of course that was widely known outside of America's borders.

And Norm Coleman wasn't aware of it after months of investigation?

[ztn]

214. Sure he was aware of it. They all were! The only people who weren't

The whole thing is on BBC now. 47 minutes, then it's called off, they couldn't take any more!

223. The BBC online clip is great...

Much better than the MSNBC one. Thank you!

59. Oh my god I'm aroused

by that man and his speech.
THank you for the link, I thought I missed the show of the year.
I can see why they refused to let him continue.
Damn that was awesome.

[Ysolde]

60. Kick!

Why Oh Why does it take a Scot to speak truth to power? Where are our Leaders?

[lucca]

64. Thank you George Galloway.

My heart is filled with joy and amazement.

Truly inspiring....Brave..Honest...Heroic.

What a breath of fresh air to hear the truth.

Are you listening MSM?
Are you listening Congressmen & Senators?
Are you listening America?

I surely hope so.

[Avalux]

65. Wow. Now if only our Democratic leaders would speak like this -

it's almost strange to hear the truth, it's been so long missing. I hope this fellow stays safe.

[tjdee]

67. I know, it's pretty sad, isn't it.

This guy comes over here, and is not scared by little Norm Coleman.

He tells the truth, smartly and concisely, and look how people take notice!

Helloooooooooooooooo ..... Democratic leaders.............

[mzmolly]

75. Many have, and I don't wish to forget them.

149 Democrats voted against this war only to be marginilized by our media and their fellow countrymen.

Please, let's not forget them.

I can name a few who ran for President and spoke "truth to power."

[ROH]

82. Do you have anyone particularly in mind?

Kerry? Dean? Both have shown courage before, so will they step forward again now?

[Avalux]

86. Kerry, Dean - yes

All the other 2004 candidates - those in the House and Senate now - EVERYONE. I want them to attack the corporate media and drown them with the truth. Even if they have to say "I was wrong, I didn't speak out against this war at first, but now I see it was a lie". My wish is that they can somehow put the good of the country above their own selfish needs.

This is what I want. We'll see what happens.
