The "M" Word
When lefties start pleading "McCarthy", you know they're out of ideas.
George Galloway would seem to be out of ideas.
A day after Sen. Norm Coleman implicated a member of Parliament in a U.N. oil-for-food scheme, the British legislator shot back Thursday in a cross-Atlantic exchange of words.
The legislator, George Galloway, likened Coleman to the late U.S. Sen. Joseph McCarthy, a characterization that sets the scene for a televised confrontation on Capitol Hill Tuesday, one that could further raise the Minnesota Republican's profile.
Coleman, of course, has led the Senate in investigating the Oil For Food scam - to his everlasting credit - and seems, to the casual, non-lawyer observer, to have is facts together.
We shall, indeed, see.
Coleman already has gained international attention for calling on U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to resign as a result of the oil-for-food scandal.
The latest showdown began Wednesday when the Senate's permanent subcommittee on investigations, which Coleman chairs, released a report accusing Galloway and former French Interior Minister Charles Pasqua of accepting vouchers for millions of barrels of Iraqi oil -- which could then be resold at immense profit -- in exchange for their support of Saddam Hussein's regime.
This, of course, is consistent with the evidence Claudia Rosett has been producing for the past year or so.
Galloway, who was expelled from Britain's Labor Party in 2003 for urging British soldiers not to fight in Iraq, responded by calling Coleman's panel a "lickspittle Republican committee, acting on the wishes of George Bush." He also likened Coleman to the late senator and anti-Communist crusader McCarthy.
Lickspittle.
That's gotta hurt.
Note to all of you that support the UN: forget about Bolton. The UN's friends will do it more harm than its detractors, at this rate.
Read the whole thing.

Where there's smoke....there's fire. There are times when I haven't liked some of the things Coleman has done, but not this time. If Coleman were a Democrat, chasing down a corrupt Administration secretary, he'd be hailed as a great crusader. But because Coleman is cutting through soft underbelly of world Liberalism....he's the anti-Christ.
Isn't this why we need Bolton in the U.N. now....more than ever?

George Galloway is not a liberal.
He is an insane fuckwit.
I hope for a correction soon.
Posted by: Jeff Fecke at May 13, 2005 11:22 AMWhy is it that whenever someone like Pat Buchanan or Pat Robertson proves he's an idiot and sets of a firestorm among conservatives as well as liberals, all conservatives are tarred by the same brush.
But when a darling of the liberal cause ( like say, preserving Saddam Hussein and dismantling sanctions against Saddam ), we get such comments like
"[insert name of clearly liberal agitator] is not a liberal. He's a [insert pejorative]." Followed by a demand for recognition of the statement as fact and/or an apology?
Posted by: aodhan at May 13, 2005 11:32 AMWell I don't see too many in the Republican leadership distancing themselves from your strain of "fuckwits" -- in fact I see leaders like Frist and DeLay routinely embracing them and going out of their way to show them how they are four-square behind the garbage they spew.
Anyway, I try not to tar all conservatives and Republicans with the same broad brush. I know you aren't all end-times religious nutcases, some of you respect science and the importance of teaching it, and there are even some conservatives who question the deep deficit Pres. Bush is driving us into (a conservative worry if there ever was one). Like I think I've said before here, for every idiot you can point on on the "left", we can point out one on the "right". I just wish you'd be more critical of your back yard too.
Although honestly, it shouldn't be a political party's job to denounce everything that claims ideological kinship. If they did, nothing else would get done, there are lots of nuts out there. They just shouldn't go out of their way to embrace the nuts and hold them up as valued partners.

http://www.respectcoalition.org/pdf/041103_resolutions.pdf
Sounds pretty much like Howard Dean and his DNC to me. Against the Iraq war, for nuclear disarmarment, defending "asylum seekers"...which would be rather similar to what liberals in this nation are doing with asylum zones for illegal immigrants, de-arming by outlawing depleted uranium warhead....taking effective weapons out of the military's hands, desiring to move scientists out of military research in favor of social needs....aka reducing the military.
Right out of the Democrat/DNC/Howard Dean playbook. Sorry....Galloway seems like a standard Democrat in the good 'ol USA.
Posted by: Dave at May 13, 2005 02:10 PMDoes Galloway know that he will be under oath at this hearing and that if he lies he could be charged with perjury?
If he shows up without an attorney at his side that will tell us the answer.
Posted by: Dicky at May 13, 2005 02:52 PMIf you call driving Buchanan out of the Republican party 'embracing', I'm not sure we speak the same language. Honestly, I find more foolish liberals than I do foolish republicans.
It was Democratic Senator Patty Murray, not an outcast like Buchanan who suggested that Al-Qaeda was a force for good in the third world, and suggested that the US does nothing to help other countries or peoples with infrastructure projects.
It was DNC Chairman Howard Dean who suggested that 'Bush Knew' on national television. It was Dean, Kerry, Clark ( all major contenders for the Democrat's nomination for President ) who flagged the silly 'Bush AWOL' story. All of these are major disgraces for any party because they are neither true nor debatable thanks to copious documentation disproving them.
As many accusations of 'Klan-like' are thrown at Republicans, we don't have a KKK kleagle as a Senator. We don't have a Kennedy known for drowning his girlfriend demanding the government account for 'water-torture' ( a psychological process which unlike being left unconscious underwater in a car does not endanger the interrogated ).
Where is Frist literally embracing Pat Robertson amid cheers as Daschle once embraced Michael Moore? In fact, once we stop talking about the /leaders/ of the DNC, After naming Buchanan and Robertson how do you futher event he accounts with the likes of Moore, MoveOn, and the 'free-thinking' pie throwers around the nation?
