In light of Galloway, how will the MSM (and GOP) respond tomorrow?
Will they try to turn up the volume on the Newsweek story?

Will the Terror Alert get raised?? (my money is here!)

Will they bring on every fucking Republican they find to debunk Galloway all day long with no balanced representation?

Will the Dems say nothing when asked?

Will a new story surface to deflect attention?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I Guess ALL the above!!

9. Bingo - He's a rude ill cultured brute who has no respect for the senate.

Sounds more like John Bolton, actually.

On edit - I wouldn't be surprised to see it starting shortly here either. Our disruptors are late on this one!

4. Well, I'll add this
The right wing media machine is already hard at work finding a strategy to deface this guy.

The MSM and right wing radio will get their talking points by 4 am so they can start early on the AM work commute.

5. Character assassination and smears repeated ad-nauseum...
Edited on Wed May-18-05 02:05 AM by FrenchieCat
The Corporate media will attack the man's Character and integrity aided by Republicans and willing Democrats. It's the MO when there's nothing else one can find. The fact that he was expelled from the Labour party will be highlighted...and the fact that he just made his way back into parliament via the recent elections will only be wispered.

No discussion about the substance of Galloway's statements about Iraq beyond trying to paint him as an extremists will be heard.

It's the same tactic used on various individuals who speak out....

and it always seems to work. (see W. Clark, R. Clarke, P. O'Neill, Ritter, and all of the others that have spoken out effectively to date). See John O'Neill's Wall of Heroes for more names....

7. However The Mainstream Media WILL Give Some Serious Attention To This
Edited on Wed May-18-05 03:20 AM by TheWatcher
Story as soon as Mcauley Culkin Testifies before the Committee claiming that "these Allegations against George Galloway are simply ludicrous."

10. The American Pravda will most likely...
try to dig up some scandal on Galloway to discredit his testimony, and the fact that he thoroughly PUNKED Norm Coleman...maybe the dummies who gave Bush's poodle a second term as British Prime Minister should get HIM to lead next time...that is one crazy SCOTSMAN! PREACH DAT BOOK, DOUBLE G!!!!!

Galloway/Clark in 2008!!!!
