Galloway is back

[JihadJane]

Really? In your post (#394 p.10) in which you said:



You actually quote me, in your post, directly before that remark, saying this:


So you knew where to find it once (#374 p.10). How odd that you can't find it again.

I understood that you were meaning before you made your remark to whathisname.

And lights in the sky can be 'easily' taken as aliens, if that's your inclination. I don't think people 'often' put themselves down at all, but of course you'll offer an unsubstantiated estimate of 'often' until a situation arises where an estimate of 'not very often' suits you.




Yes you do, yes you do. If it is offensive to observe autistic traits in someone, that offense must surely arise from the implication that they may be on the spectrum. Why would it be offensive, unless you find autism offensive?



Yes, some people do think it's offensive to be autistic, and therefore use the lable offensively. (See above re unsubstantiated estimates to suit...)



Erm, yeh. Partly because you don't appear to be, but mostly because you think the diagnosis is an insult.

Whatever. I don't feel like you're really listening to me.

No, I don't think the diagnosis is an insult.

I think using the diagnosis as an insult is an insult.

I'm not saying that you aren't allowed to criticise us for electing george galloway. I'm saying that so long as you don't apply the same standards to your own country, there's no logical reason for anyone to give a damn about what you think. Your whingeing about thought police is bordering on the jihad-jane level of badly thought out rhetoric.

Bitch!

My view, George Galloway is what I like to call a one view MP. That is someone who simply goes for one or two policies.

And his policy is George Galloway!

 

[Virus]

His policy is to support the West's enemies. Hence JihadJane's eagerness to vote for him.

 

[portlandatheist]

UK democracy has already collapsed. It is now suffering under an unelected government of upper-class incompetents pursuing chaotic policies that no one voted for.

So Galloway has obtained his position via non democratic means under a collapsed democracy?

 

[Sword_Of_Truth]

Um, what? I don't think that photo is evidence for any form of sexual activity.

Of course it isn't. You know that and I know that, but would the police and penal systems of the regimes Galloway supports know that?

That's part of my point. Galloway is free to prance about in a leotard pretending to be a cat as well as generally make a complete rectum of himself in public while at the same time actively denying that freedom to the people of Syria, Iran and Gaza.

 

[Toontown]

Go make a thread. Declare that any american who ever funded the IRA is a terrorist sympathiser, any political party they were members of is complicit in terrorist sympathising, and any american who ever voted for these politicians or their political party is sponsoring terrorism. Then i'll be happy, and will join you in declaring outrage over anyone who voted for galloway.

You were never asked to join me in declaring outrage over anyone who voted for Galloway. Perhaps I should have clarified that earlier. Perhaps I should have stated flatly, "Mind you, I am not asking you to join me in outrage over anyone who voted for Galloway."

Oooh, I want a well-researched list as well. Anyone who has ever been relevant in american politics, and has been suspected of funding the IRA. It's clearly important enough for you that you must have researched this before.

No, it isn't important to me at all. I didn't bring it up. Funk brought it up. I ridiculed Funk's irrelevance, jokingly accusing him of blaming me for Galloway's election, which for some reason moved Rolfe to to concoct an ersatz rationale as to why none of you should care who voted for Galloway, because I don't care who might have voted for some unknown IRA supporter. I had no idea what the lot of you were on about.

Little did I know that all of you had somehow gotten the idea that I wanted the lot of you to join me in outrage over Galloway's rise to political prominence on the backs of his suckers. But such was never the case. I could not possibly care less, unless you were to actively support Galloway, in which case I might ridicule you for it, along with the rest of his suckers.

UK democracy has already collapsed. It is now suffering under an unelected government of upper-class incompetents pursuing chaotic policies that no one voted for.

The Prime Ministers party in the 2010 UK general election received 10,703,654 votes.

 

[Pardalis]

No, democracy works only when candidates Jihad Janes likes win.

The rest of the time democracy is collapsing.

Does this collapsed democracy still manage regular welfare cheques?

 

[trustbutverify]

Give the persecution complex a break, eh Toontown?

Honestly, I don't see any persecution complex. A certain political clique of blowhards uses the astronomically evil US as an excuse to maintain inhumane positions. There's nothing wrong with pointing that out.

If his policy is George Galloway why do so many people wet themselves (see above) about his political stance?

You tell us. You support him.

Eh? What?

An interesting article on Galloway's campaign strategy:

'How women won it for George Galloway
The maverick politician spoke to Muslim women directly, told local men to respect their wives' opinions and mobilised his female supporters to hit the doorsteps. One week on, the women who secured Galloway's victory speak out'

""""Every five years, for all of her adult life, Farida Faizi went through the same old routine. "I'd answer the door around election time," she said, "and the Labour man would say: 'Is your dad in?' or: 'Can I speak to your husband?'" Faizi is 41 years old, runs her own jewellery business and has four children. But she accepted it. The Labour canvassers would have a word with her husband, just like always, and then they would both vote Labour. Just like always. It was the way things went in many Asian households in Bradford West.

Three weeks ago, something in her snapped. She met her niece, 31-year-old Naz Rehman, who told her about a new punk in town going by the name of George Galloway. Faizi remembered Galloway from the 2006 series of Celebrity Big Brother ("which I quite enjoyed, by the way"), but soon learned he was standing in the byelection in her constituency, promising to be "new broom" who would not only clean up the dog-eared city but also sweep away the old guard who took her vote for granted.

"Something awakened inside of me," said Faizi this week, over a cup of tea with Naz and another niece, Sara. Within a day or two of Faizi's awakening she was asking her husband to look after the kids and standing in her veil in Morrisons car park, handing out Respect leaflets to the other shoppers.

She didn't just talk to other Muslim women with their faces covered by a niqab, she insists. "I spoke to people from all walks of life. They were very welcoming, I didn't get no abuse, no negative thoughts. It's difficult, because you've got to overcome this taboo first," she says, pointing to her veiled face. "People think that because I'm wearing it, they're not sure whether they should confront me or not. But I don't bite from underneath."

Anyway, she says, "there was a lot of mummies shopping that day. I spoke to a lot of mummies who couldn't understand what was going on, but I spoke to them in our own language [Urdu and Punjabi] and I explained to them, and they said: 'Oh, can we take a leaflet home, then, please?' and some of them just said: 'Well, which box number is it?' We'd tell them George was No 2 on the ballot and they would say: 'Oh, well, we'll vote George. Our husbands and dads are telling us not to, but they are not going to be with us when we put that paper in their ballot box.'"

And that, in a nutshell, is how Galloway managed to score what he called "the most sensational result in British electoral history" last Thursday.""""

 

[Toontown]

Eh? What?

Rolfe.

Sorry. That was Stokes of the Cat Brigade. What you did was declare that I am likely drive Brits into the arms of Galloway to spite me.

Hint: cutting off one of your fingers would spite me more.

And that, in a nutshell, is how Galloway managed to score what he called "the most sensational result in British electoral history" last Thursday.[/I]""""

And that, in a nutshell, is the story of people who spend all of 2 minutes learning about the candidates and deciding how to vote, based on vague emotional feelings.

Better to not vote at all.

George Galloway is in the pay of a regime that prescribes floggings for women who don't cover up and stoning for adultery.

What's your position on women being flogged and stoned in public Jihadjane?

The internal snappage is always the kicker. When something snaps inside them, they go Galloway. You might be able to hear it if you're standing next to them in the checkout line when it happens.

The Galloway Effect?

Right-wing tabloid curmudgeon, Peter Hitchens is now thinking of running for Parliament on the basis that if Galloway can get elected then so can he...

If George Galloway can get elected, should I too stand for Parliament? I have resisted the idea for years. I once worked at Westminster and saw the powerlessness of the individual MP against the thuggish pressure of the party whips.

I am a little shocked to find I agree with him, as this is pretty much what I said earlier in the thread:

As for the other parties, they are the same. I think that is one of the reasons for George Galloway’s victory in Bradford West. The old loyalties are at last dying, the Coalition actually speaks for nobody, there is no proper opposition in Parliament and – instinctively, like a flower seeking light – the electorate is recognising that this has to be put right. Mr Galloway is not, of course, the solution. We must do better than that.

 

[trustbutverify]

His policy is to support the West's enemies. Hence JihadJane's eagerness to vote for him.

That's correct.
