Oops, George

Read this - Hate Mob Attacks Galloway - and weep (and do read some of the comments, too - some are very funny).

As Harry says, it would be wrong simply to condemn those who attacked Galloway. Clearly, their actions are the result of the profound pressures put on them by those on whom they have chosen to vent their wrath. Instead of simply condemning them for "setting up the gallows" for Galloway, we need instead to look in on ourselves and understand why it is that they feel the need to behave as they do. Their threats to - to use the neoCon word - 'murder' (but which more nuanced observers would refer to as 'express their frustration') Galloway are, clearly, the result of a problem not of their making. They are not at fault for threatening murder. They are merely responding to the circumstances.

As you sow, George; as you sow.

BTW, I love this comment on Harry's site:

"After a fight broke out between the two groups, police were called and Mr Galloway was forced to hide in his car in an alley until the violence calmed down."

Sir, I salute your courage, your strength...
