1. Thank you!

I was hoping a channel carried by my rethug cable system would share it.

IMHO I think both Galloway and Hitchens are self imporant snots. But Galloway is my kind of snot! And it is so damn entertaining to watch them snipe at eachother.

4. Hitchens picks on grieving mothers, mother teresa, gandhi

Galloway may sometimes be oversmug, but Hitchens is the most arrogant journalist alive.

I am thrilled to get to watch that twit Hitchens get slapped by such an eloquent speaker who just doesn't let his shit slide by. I'm assuming that 9pm is eastern.

10. I had to pause it and post this bit from Gallway...

at 52:30 (video)

Galloway: “Western Policy has created this swamp of hatred against us and it won’t matter how many fly-swats we invest in, how many Patriot Acts we pass, how many anti-terrorist measures we pass. If you live beside a swamp, no amount of fly-swats will protect you from the monsters who will come out of that swamp. We have to drain that swamp by stopping that support for Sharon’s Israel, his apartheid war, his crimes against the Palestinian people. We have to stop” (jeers and applause)

“I have to tell you, not many supporters of the Palestinians in you’re ranks tonight Mr. Hitchens.”

“I think unless we stop propping up these dictators in the Muslim world, none of whom would last 5 minutes if it were not for the military, political and financial support of countries like yours and mine! Unless we stop invading and occupying Arab and Muslim countries, then we will be forced to endure the atrocities that took place in NY on 9/11 and in London on 7/7. Over and over again! So if I can’t reach your heart, let me at least reach your heads. In your own interests (Hitchens interrupts again) , in America’s own interests, reverse your policy towards Israel and Palestine! Reverse your policy towards dictators in the Muslim world! Reverse your policy towards war and occupation, and we can all be safer! (applause drowning out jeers) :)
