Galloway on BBC Politics (tuesday 7th oct)

[faceless]

I'll hopefully have this capped and available for download by 1pm tomorrow...

[luke]

does anyone know if galloway really refused to debate kamm?

[faceless]

I've not heard that before, but judging by his pubescent ramblings I wouldn't be surprised. He sounds like Harry Enfield's tory-boy...

[luke]

yeah he's a nasty piece of work ... he recently described medialens as "the most reliable conduits of antisemitism and genocide denial"!

[faceless]

haha, ffs

that's like saying the PDSA are behind fox hunting...

[faceless]

ah well, I missed this today - hopefully it will be available elsewhere

[luke]

i didn't see it either, but apparently we didn't miss much "Galloway was on the show but they 'ran out of time' so he didn't get a good chance to refute the nonsense put forward by Watkins or the tory apologist."

[faceless]

ah right, cheers. I'll keep my eye out for it anyway.

I saw it - there was about 1 minute on Iraq after over running due to the credit crunch.

Galloway got one sentence in about Iraq refuting that she had pretended to have WMD's.

Earlier in the show he was surprisingly positive about Labours election chances and Brown being better than Cameron.

Here's the bits with Galloway edited together...

I just noticed that they allowed my comment on that Oliver Kamm page where I said the reason Galloway wouldn't debate him was probably because he's such a bawbag. (note to self, use insults that don't flag normal word filters more often... haha)

I also notice that he's decided to ride the wave of childish petulance by making another derogatory comment today. What a guy!

What a sad prize prick Kamm is ! He’s obviously so in awe & scared of debating Galloway, that when he learnt that GG had refused to debate with him, his relief & delight lead him to write that deluded “George is scared of me” garbage Comment in the Times. When people started leaving comments that he probably would have been destroyed in any debate with GG, he then has to write a cheap & bitter follow-up piece to register his “surprise” that “There is a curious notion held by some people that Galloway is an effective debater”, and then conveniently provides a link to a YouTube videos of GG’s interview with David Henshaw. Admittedly not one of GG’ s best displays of debating, as he allowed himself to lose his temper with that Islamophobic bigot, but Kamm should really not have pointed readers onto searching out YouTube videos; firstly they would have discovered why GG refused to debating with him after viewing the Newsnight Castro debate, and secondly that every video featuring Kamm has without exception, very unflattering comments about him to say the least !

[seshme]

To be fair Henshaw completely destroyed Galloway whose only argument on the subject was to shout about what is written in the Old Testament ignoring the difference between what is written in an ancient superstitious text and what is actually taught in churches.

Calling any criticism of muslims Islamophobia is like calling any criticism of Israel antisemitic.

eyup micky, not seen you about for a while.

Seshme, do you really think that shoddy, unbalanced documentary didn't deliberately feed into islamophobic idiocy?
