Okay, I hat to equate anyone to Hitler because, well, it's like trying to disuade discussion by some sort of false argument, but I really have to say that his rhetorical style, as I listen to his comments on MP3 at the debate with Hitchens last night, I have this picture in my mind of Hitler at Nuremburg, pounding his fist on the podium denouncing Jews.
Don't believe me? Listen for yourself. Catch the second half here.
He also had the bad fortune to say something that quite sounded like he was blaming the United States for the attacks on the WTC 9/11. This while the debate was occuring in New York City. Needless to say, he was very loudly booed.
I saw the thing on C-Span. Within 5 minutes of listening to Galloway's opening remarks ("shouts", really) it was obvious he was on the side of the terrorists.
ReplyDeleteYou are dead right, in style Galloway did resemble Hitler. He didn't speak, he shouted everything.
Hitch, on the other hand, was brilliant.
