This is not the good kind of stoned...

It is when it’s George Galloway you’re talking about.
Egypt is primarily pro-Israel, anti-Hamas, believe it or not.

[gridlock]

That last bit, about he suspected terrorists planning to use the convoy to leave the UK, was interesting. Maybe that is one of the reasons for the hostile reception. They already have enough of those, without importing them from Merry Ol’ England...

maverick MP George Galloway

Kind of a reminder what being a maverick means.

Isn’t Galloway the jerk who came over here and showed us what a wuss he was, bad mouthing the Bush Administration and what we were doing in Iraq. Generally siding with the enemy on every point of doctrine.

[counterpunch]

I just noticed your typo in the headline.
When oh when is FR going to enter the 21st century and enable post editing?
I know FR is conservative and resists “Change” but this is getting ridiculous.

[Rob the Ugly Dude]

What the hell? He was planning on facilitating the travel of terrorists with plans to attack the West (probably the US) and he’s still in the UK government. What the hell?

"anti-Hamas slogans"

Turn Gaza over to the Egyptians.

This is delicious! To be savored!

Sure it is, when we're talking about George Galloway. In a perfect world, after Saddam finished twitching at the end of the hangman's noose, Galloway should have been given the honor of following Saddam, using the same rope.

And believe this: Galloway would have actually considered that an 'honor'. He is among the most despicable pieces of sh*t I've ever seen in my lifetime, a true waste of oxygen.

And to continue in that vein, if aliens truly have visited Earth, we can thank God that they did not abduct George Galloway, because after such an abduction, they would have concluded that the best thing for our corner of the universe would be to incinerate the entire planet, based on the existence of just ONE such vile and repugnant slug.

[w/apologies to all those more honorable slugs]

Sorry, have to run now, time to take the dog out, he's dancin' around and has to go, I suspect he's going to pinch off a loaf o' Galloway.

[BallyBill]

They wrote naughty words? How British of them. Galloway might have staged his own PR stunt.

[nuconvert]

Misleading & disappointing headline - doesn’t say anything about Galloway being hit by rocks, though he certainly deserves it and more.

[TaxRelief]

Sounds like a publicity stunt, IMHO.

[AliVeritas]

Read it all ping.

[contemplator]

Did you add the word “medical” in the first sentence of the article as you pasted it here on FR or did the Times Online people edit their original article sometime after you pasted it here? Somehow I doubt that you would have had any reason to add it on your own, it is more likely that the original article was edited. The reason it caught my eye was that I was going to comment on how the article was misleading in the first sentence making you think that the convoy was carrying only medical supplies when later in the article it states that they separated the medical stuff from the non-medical stuff. The thing I found interesting about it was that they didn’t elaborate on what the ‘non-medical’ stuff was.

[Vinnie]

Thanks, I needed a smile this morning.

Took one between the eyes, I hope.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The headline exaggerates, hypes and is misleading. His convoy was stoned.
Regardless, maybe this crazy communist will finally realize that the jihadis hate him because he is British. Maybe he will wake up one day and say “these bloodthirsty savage barbarians hate me and want to kill me. Maybe Western Civilization is right after all”
Don’t hold your breath waiting.

[MortMan]

It sounds like Galloway’s cries of “Peace in our time” are being recognized for what they truly are...

[popdonnelly]

The people throwing the stones are obviously not “progressives”.

[2ndClassCitizen]

For them it is.
