George Galloway

[darsie]

Galloway is very critical of the UK-US involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan and is exremely knowledgeable about Middle East affairs now and before  - AND - he would make an excellent guest - but a big stumbling block is his continued refusal to acknowledge that 9-11 was an inside job.

He still sticks with the official government version of events even though he has been bombarded - on and off - by many of his listerners on Talksport who disagree with his views on the subject.

This has obviously exasperated and angered him - and I feel he has found it to hard to accept that so many of his listerners could hold such "incredible opinions and beliefs" about 9-11 - that it was, indeed, government sponsored terrorism.

I would also like to see John Pilger and/or David Icke as future guests on the AJ show. Or even Alex interviewing James Whale of Talksport ( who appears to be sympathetic to the alternative media).

1:) George Galloway is a freak. Don't ever have him back on the show.
2:) He is knee deep in dodgy deals with the Saddam regime. He is as good as a war profiteer.

Of course he will affiliate himself with Alex Jones if he can. He has zero support from the rest of the media.
I just ask Alex to do a margin of research on this guy before you make a decision.

All Galloway has manged to do is convince a few Muslims in Bethnal Green and Bow that he hates Bush and Israel; not a very meaningful accomplishment

No matter what people say about George Galloway he has stood up against the UK & US government's over the war in Iraq.  He has suffered quite a lot because of his staunch views on this subject so should be given some credit for his beliefs. 

As Stealth said it would be interesting to have him as a guest on the show just so Alex can question why he believes the official story despite damning evidence to the contrary.

George Galloway did not have links with the old Saddam regime, although to be fair he does know Tariq Aziz, who is the least murderous and vile member of that disgusting regime.

He was campaigning against Saddam's regime when Thatcher and Reagan were busy doing business with him and calling Saddam a trusted ally.

Look at  the way he stands up to MSM and politicians, and the wonderful way he tore apart the Senate Intelligence Committee when he was there. He does not talk about 9-11 inside job because it is a subject he feels it is best to stay away from given his high profile, he would rather work the MSM which he will not be able to do if he talks about 9-11 truth.

He is also an MP and it would be huge news if he came out and said it loudly, that kind of attention results in car accidents or unexplained falls from balconies, or at the least constant harrassment from MI5.

Equally, I would love to see him say it, but that would put him in the position of being the most famous truther, which would nto be great for his health.

George Galloway interviewed William Rodriguez a few months ago on his internet TV show (now defunked) and afterwards said he was now also a 9/11 truther, because he too had questions about the 'officail story'. If that is so...

1) This is all to the credit of William R. Although Mr Rodrigeuz was appearing later that week in Galloways own political backyard, at the East London Mosque (with an audience of 1,000 Moslems), which may have woke up Galloway to how his constituents were feeling, and would have questions for him?
2) I think George Galloway owes a huge apology to all those callers on his radio show that he cut off as "insane" previously. Often saying that their views had all been "debunked" by researchers!
3)  We now need to hear him speak up a bit about his newly found 'turnabout' of 9/11 truth. Any body heard him go that far yet???

Copy of a letter I emailed to George Galloway (on his own website www.georgegalloway.com)

Hello George,
 
After your excellent web-TV interview with the 9/11 hero William Rodriguez you said you were now also a "9/11 Truther", and had problems with the official story. Which I was glad to hear. Indeed words to that effect were stated by William at his full-house East London Mosque presentation a few days following your interview with him. I guess the people of your ward would have been beating a path to you surgery door otherwise, after his powerful talk. 
 
However, I hear you yet again condemning people who call in to your Radio Show expressing these very basic opinions of '9/11 Truth' as Conspiracy Nuts (and worse), most recently over this weekend. I find your show to be otherwise excellent.  You could say that we can't agree on everything, but this issue runs a lot deeper and broader
 
I must therefore ask "which is it to be George"? 9/11 Truth or Official Story (and Bin Laden did it).
 
I think a starting point 'on the road to truth' (sorry, and please excuse me) would be something similar to that which Peter Tachell sets out in his article in The Independent (very publicly) below.
 
I was going to suggest an 'on-air' apology to those who persist, unwaveringly, in the attempt to get the truth out (or what you surely must agree are at least the less common known anomalies of the whole event) to the wider public. Which to some degree they may think is your job too. It is clear that you aren't afraid to speak your mind, and speak as you find. Maybe you having looked enough at this issue to find it so, as Peter Tachell seems to have done (who also was a Labour MP, or wanted to be, if I recall correctly).
 
It is sadly true that most of the other politicians around today just aren't worth approaching at all! Though I hear that a certain Mr. Meacher is questioning this whole thing too. Then there are two people who I know you admire, if don't think much of Tachell and Meacher. Both Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro hold the some of the same '9/11 Truth' opinions that you ridicule your callers for bringing up every week.
 
So, please George can you look into this all a bit further still and you clarify your position to us listeners of your show.
 
Thank you for your time

Yep i have to agree with you,hes been inside the belly of the beast,and doesnt much like it there,better to toe the line.

Galloway telling congress to go f**k themselves was classic!  He spread reality around when it was needed.

And he did not get owned by Hitchens, they each got in good shots, but the opening line of Galloway describing Hitchens as the first example of a butterfly turning into a worm was AWESOME!!!

The best work of Hitchens was dancing on Fallwell's grave.

[Sub-X]

Yep,i stand corrected,thanks Sane 

[clint]

I wouldn't trust Galloway as far as I could throw an elephant.

I never said I trusted him, I just do not think hitchens owned him, and I also think it was classic when he told congress and parliament to go f**k themselves for their monumental hypocrisy.

[Weasel]

Galloway is a very very socialistic guy. From what i've read on this forum socialists arent popular heh.

I like how he articulate himself and talk common sense most of the time. Like in this clip.

Galloway is every bit a politician, a real opportunist. I had mates who were involved in the Respect campaign in Bethnal Green and they confirm that he really is just an opportunist politico.
There are better guests than this Fabian fool.
