Galloway Propaganda

Check out this flyer I found on campus yesterday (click it for a bigger version):

Here is a man who has built an entire career out of evading the truth, and everyone who knows anything knows it, democratically elected by (presumably) sentient human beings in London. Christopher Hitchens has the low-down on this blackguard.

These are crazy times when a man known to have accepted bribes from a sadistic mass-murdering dictator can call the successful liberation of 25 million people from that dictator's long and oppressive regime, resulting in the birth of a new democracy, to be "a disaster" and be met with cheers around the globe and welcomed by his countrymen as some sick kind of national hero. How far the British have fallen.
The reverse of the flyer cites some of the Respect party's goals, including "ending the culture of capitalism" and "putting people before profit." Since when have political parties been involved in making profits anyway? I can only assume he means he wants to force the people of the United Kingdom (or at the very least, Bethnal Green & Bow) to "put people before profit," in which case -- [ring ring ring] oh excuse me -- Hello? Yes, hang on. George, it's Adam Smith, he'd like to speak with you about the culture of capitalism.

Now that I think of it, it makes sense that capitalism isn't Galloway's favorite system. I'm sure he'd much prefer one centered around bribes, extortion and blackmail.

The flyer creatively states that Galloway "crossed the Atlantic to give the U.S. Senate 'both barrels,' delighting anti-war campaigners in the U.S. and across the world." Actually, he crossed the Atlantic to be questioned about his extended relationship with aforementioned mass-murdering dictator. Galloway is a smart one. He's playing the "anti-war campaigners" for a pack of fools, and - surprise, surprise - it's working.
