Galloway likens Alastair Campbell to Goebbels

Danthus · 20 Jan 2011 at 22:54

Is anyone watching Question Time.

George Galloway has just said that Alastair Campbell was Tony Blairs Goebbels in the run up and during the Iraq war.

George Galloway is an troll.

When you need to resort to Nazi anologies you have lost the argument according to Godwin's Law.

Do you mean great entertainment, or a great big fat fool, or do you really mean he's a good politician?

daz · 20 Jan 2011 at 22:59

George is always good entertainment.

Danthus · 20 Jan 2011 at 22:59

I think he is a bit of all of them.

Galloway is an idiot. Anyone who ever listened to his radio show would reach that conclusion in seconds.

What are you basing that on, what did you hear that makes him an idiot?

He talks a lot of rubbish but the world needs people like him. He's prepared to speak up for what he believes rather than conform to further his political career. He's a dying breed.

He talks a lot of rubbish but the world needs peope who don't. He's prepared to say anything if it gets him more publicity rather than further his political causes. He's a dying bread (I'll keep your typo).

Are you saying the party line is always correct?

There's was no typo

No I am not.

I'm basing that on the garbage that comes out every time he opens his mouth. He's a self-publicising moron who, regardless of what he might say, couldn't care less about anyone but himself.

Well, then the world need politicians who don’t conform. George is one of those. People can choose to ignore him if they wish, thankfully most do

What garbage, it is easy to say he talks rubbish but so far nobody has posted anything to prove this.

By all accounts he has compared Alastair Campbell to Goebbels...

I know, I started the thread, but you can't say everything he says is rubbish based on that.

If he would have said "Campbell was Blairs Minister for Propaganda" most people would probably agree.
