Re: GG - he's ok, but he should stop insulting people unnecessarily...

For instance, when he talks about Rishi Sunak, he always adds the epithet "Little". When he mentions Biden he can't seem to resist mentioning Biden's bowel or toilet issues.
These are the least important things about these two men. It's not the tallness of the man that's an issue, it's the size of his brain, and not even that, it's how he uses his brain, as undoubtedly Richi has a brain -it's just that it's used for personal economic advancement. . Same with Biden - in this case his brain is very definitely the issue and isn't used for anything very much now - to mention brain matter is fair comment, bowels less so. .
Casual insults demean Galloway. I know he gets enough insults himself, but he should have the sense to rise above them.
GG calling the stupid twerp of a PM "Little Rishi" is perfectly fine with me. Also" Genocide Joe" and talk of his loose bowels or whatever is no problem for me. It might be argued that giving them silly names distracts from their real crimes and lets them off the hook in their support for a terrorist apartheid regime, but demeaning them in this way seeps into their public image and is hard to forget or ignore -- much more powerful than long-winded political debates and establishment media critiques. Pile it on, George!
Agree with Scrabb...

GG has always been pugnacious and combative. It's just his MO. And it's par for the course for those in power that have been the cause of millions of deaths [mainly innocent women, children and elderly] over the course of decades of imperial and exceptional policy.
If anything it's probably all a bit mild. If I was to say what I really think of them, I'd probably get banned from the board.
Re: Agree with Scrabb...and Auribus..GG just plays the powerful and the media at their own game (nm)
He has the panache and they haven't, and he does it on two levels, one is exposure of their lies and misdeeds and secondly their character and appearance. Twofer, so to speak.
How do our leaders insult their national and international adversaries with their name calling? It's disgusting. Zero decorum. Due to that, I characterise them as low life, worthy of insults.
