George Galloway – Portrait of An Anti-Semite
Not only is George Galloway a crooked, contemptible man who coddles up to dictators, he’s a bald anti-Semite, as well. Here’s Galloway from a televised appearance with Richard Perle:
George Galloway: Now even amongst the crazed Zionist Crusader fundamentalists who got us into this war, Richard Perle is an extremist. In fact, most of the neo-con Zionists who talked Bush into this war have now begun to admit that this has been a terrible catastrophic mistake. Unfortunately, it is not their blood, which has been shed. It has been the blood of entirely innocent people, whose lives have been destroyed.
So nobody serious, outside the lunatic asylum of Richard Perle’s circle, any longer believes that the invasion of an Arab Muslim country by hundreds of thousands of Crusading soldiers has done anything to make the world a more peaceful place.
…Richard Perle: Let me just say, having listened to George Galloway, that I am not going to insult the intelligence or waste the time of an audience that has tuned to this channel in the hope that they will hear an interesting discussion, by responding to his ad hominem and scurrilous personal attacks. This is what he’s good at. It’s a talent from the gutter, and I’m not going to engage in this.
George Galloway: Show us the shekels.
Richard Perle: I’m not going to engage in it.
George Galloway: Show us the shekels, Richard.
Richard Perle: Needless to say… what he’s had to say deserves no serious comment, and so I’m not going to make any comment about his personal attacks.
But I do find ironic his comment on the absence of democracy in the Muslim world, when the only Arab country to have voted in a free election in living memory is the Iraq that was liberated by the United States, the United Kingdom, and a number of other countries acting in this coalition.
Well said, Richard, and admirable restraint…
What a detestable character Galloway is, and if you find yourself uncertain on this point, he will go out of his way to prove it is so. Sad too that people continue to give him the opportunity to bloviate and spew his bullying hate.
I’m wondering why on earth did Perle agree to appear on a show with this cretin? Surely he must have known what the topic would have evolved into.
“Show us the shekels.” Sigh. Well, at least this means it probably won’t be too long until he says, “Ah, to hell with it. Yeah, I hate Jews.” Then at least we can dispense with the usual dance.
