1. What a joke
I guess he couldn't find another reality show to be on so he decided to get on SkyNews.

George, when will you realize your credibility was shot a long time ago...

2. I think he rocks
He's obviously ignoring some darker aspects of Hezbollah, but most everything he says is right on the money. God I wish we had some Democrats with his rhetorical skills and cajones.

3. He does have rhetorical skills
I think of him as the British Al Sharpton.

5. They are similar
...in that they are both excellent speakers with questionable ethical problems in their past. In sum, they are both flawed messengers.

7. If you're referring to the Mariam Appeal allegations...
...no misdeeds on George Galloway's part were ever substantiated.

6. Comparing Galloway to Sharpton is unfair
If Al held elected office, he'd probably show up and vote, can't say the same for George

8. I think we should address what Galloway had to say
He does introduce the idea that Israel has only alienated and further inflamed the ME and brought more support for Hezbollah. There's two sides to this story, and our MSM tends to set timeline of events that match a pro-Israeli slant. The historical tale of the ME crisis is a bit more complex than merely calling Hezbollah a terrorist organizations.

Here's a link a Galloway ripping a new one to our cowardly Senate.
