George Galloway debates ignorant caller (Audio only).

[jwirr]

1. I love that man. I just read an article on Tomgram: "Why Cheney

Won't Take Down Iran" in which it argues that Israel and Saudi Arabian oil wells will be the first targets hit if we hit Iran. It promises $300-400 a barrel oil. They have other weapons to fight us than nukes and it may tip any allies we have left to their side. *ss has done everything he can to destroy our world and it would not surprise me at all that he goes the next step. God save us from your supporters.

[Pharaoh]

19. Of Course!

If we hit Iran, it will be childs play for them to take out the Saudi fields and close the straits of Hormuz.........then we will all be pretty fucked at 500 dollar a barrel oil.




Love that George Galloway!

[loveable liberal]

2. I loved it when he ripped norm coleperson a new one...

in a senate hearing. Norm looked like a complete idiot.

thanks for the heads up.

[rainy]

27. That was pure poetry in motion. I was screaming with shock and

awe at how right on he was.

[Voice for Peace]

3. "just what do you mean by strategic strike, james..."

love the tone of the debate.. wonderful, K&R!

[autorank]

4. k*r That was great!

The madmen who would consider this belong in jail.

[bjobotts]

21. autorank***thanks for the links.

[autorank]

25. somebody noticed;)

the ones a the bottom. thanks!!!

[Swamp Rat]

26. Especially that dude Michael Collins

:D

[gateley]

5. Boy, both he and the calller are so CIVIL!

Never heard him before -- thanks!

[ooglymoogly]

6. KR How lucky for England that they have an intelligent man like

George Galloway; And what do we have but a Neanderthal predator limpballs.

[Cleita]

7. Wow and we thought all the dumb freepers were American.

Thanks for this post. I'm now going to watch the rest of the George Galloway videos. It's refreshing to listen to someone who is in possession of the facts and who can explain them so clearly.

[dixiegrrrrl]

9. can he be our VP? Please ? Pretty pretty please?

edited for spelling

[Cleita]

12. I think you should be looking for your VPs among American citizens, which

Galloway is not. However, I'm sure there are some brilliant American liberals, who are good at debate and retaining important facts in their memories to debate, that we should be looking at to put in all levels of our government to clean out the corruption we are mired in.

[rainy]

28. Gore Videl and Noam Chomsky come to mind.

[fascisthunter]

51. hate to say this

but I don't think Obama would ever have a "Galloway" as a VP.

[bbgrunt]

10. If only we had a few more dems who would make these arguments

and be as vocal and as principled as the honorable Mr. Galloway. Wonderful clip.

[ihavenobias]

11. K & R

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. i LOVE this man. wish we had people like that here.

[Subdivisions]

14. That was brilliant!! K and freaking R!!! n/t

[nancyr]

15. Thanks!

"James" sounds just like some Republicans I know. They just keep repeating the same crap over and over until they believe it. They aren't listening to anything other than what they've been programmed to hear.
Wish we had someone with Galloway's integrity in this country.

[yy4me]

16. We need this man to appear on Countdown and spread the

word just as he has done here. I agree with him 100%. I have wondered a million times why it is OK for us to do what we want and we demand everyone else to do what WE want too. Iran has every right to their own use of nuclear technology.

WE have no right to tell the world how we want them to behave. Good grief, this government sickens me.

[90-percent]

17. Nice

Nice to hear a quick well informed man with all the facts slice through these talking points on their merits.

All points are left completely without merit!

-90% Jimmy

[bow-tie]

18. Does Galloway have

a streaming Radio program?

[SaveOurSovereignty]

20. Thats how you handle these war mongers

Excellent stuff thank you

[kmac3]

22. Kicked and definitely recommended . . .

:thumbsup:
A total treat to listen to someone who exhibits intelligence. Now let's just hope the Jim's of the world listen! Doubtful . . . These types, as is Bush, act on personal emotion (what they want) . . . not what is best for country.

[mrfrapp]

23. Heh

"James" reads too many comic books.

[barack the house]

24. He's classy guy Galloway. Has a strong courage of his convictions.

[barbtries]

29. that was great

absolutely GREAT. where do i go to hear this man's show? i'm really unfamiliar though i've heard the name.

[Swamp Rat]

34. Hi Barb

I sent you a PM. :hug:

[MindMatter]

31. This is the voice of reason. You may have forgotten what it sounds like.

Unbelievable that the caller tried to make the argument that Iran must be attacked because they defended themselves when our pal Saddam Hussein INVADED Iran with our blessing.

The fact that nay person alive on this planet could even formulate that argument tells us just how twiested everything is now.

[Dangerman]

32. Way to go, Goerge!

:yourock:

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

33. K&R.

[Swagman]

35. nothing like a fiery Scotsman to put some fool in their place !

[LaStrega]

36. Mr. Galloway, I salute you ...

And I love hearing the Scottish accent, reminds me of my gramps.

K&R!

[BB1]

37. George is cool.

I met him in Baghdad in 2002. Shortly afterwards, he got swift boated in the UK over 1 million dollars in oil money that he supposedly got from Saddam.

You tell'em, George!

[trusty elf]

38. another K & R

Thanks for posting this Swamp Rat.

[H2O Man]

39. Very good.

Thank you.

Nominated.

[theFrankFactor]

40. We Need This Kind of Representation!

[fascisthunter]

41. Does He Have a Radio Show?

If so, is there a way we DUers can listen to him. He's fantastic....

[JawJaw]

53. Galloway On the Radio

Galloway does a late-night phone in show on the UK station TalkSport. In general the station is fairly right-wing politically; the mid-morning presenter John Gaunt is particularly repellent - imagine Limbaugh without the wit and intelligence ;) !!!

Galloway is clearly put in the schedule to provide a bit of balance!

The good news is that he has archived quite a few of his recent shows on his website: http://www.georgegalloway.com/page.php?page=content/tsarchive.html

[Swamp Rat]

54. thanks for the link.

:)

[defendandprotect]

42. LOVE Galloway!!! Please ...is James out of his mind, or just simply so under the

trance of right-wing propaganda that he can't break the spell?

So much common sense came at him --- and he stepped clear of it every time!

What is wrong with these people???

[Robeson]

43. I don't know, but I'd swear James was posting here on DU the other day....

...:crazy:

[defendandprotect]

45. Yes . . . !!

:evilgrin:

[go west young man]

44. Galloway nails it down as usual!

If only we had leaders with that level of smarts. If only. The best we can wish for is used car salesmen representing us.

[cynthia]

46. I love how he ends the call with

you're giving me a heart attack.

That caller was so damn ignorant and Galloway really puts him in his place!

Thanks for posting this.

How can we hear more of him?

[harun]

47. Awesome, thanks for posting this !!!

[PerfectSage]

48. ROTFLMAO Hillarias

If the Bush/Cheney psychopath's say that Iran's uranium enrichment program is for a nuclear weapons program and not for a nuclear energy program, it's a safe bet they're lying to cover an ulterior motive. Like regime change, punish Iran for refusing to sell oil for US Dollars or beating them in Iraq using Sun Tzu methods.

[whistle]

49. K & R...I wish we had a few politicians like George Galloway here in the U.S.

...blowing fresh clean air and speaking direct truth to power instead of all the milk-toast Democrats bending to every false assertion made by our criminal White House, neocon fanatics and propagandized mouth-pieces who are republicans and DINOs.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

50. That was brilliant!

[shadowknows69]

52. There's nothing quite as entertaining as getting a Scotsman all riled up.

great clip

[AtomicKitten]

55. I LOVE this guy. He's still a pistol.
