POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN BY REX MURPHY IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
Shame on you, Rex Murphy.
This column is a nasty piece of weasel-work, the kind of thing I thought you were above, even though I disagree with many of your views.
You are calling Galloway names, defending what cannot be defended, and, at the same time, suggesting they find a way out of what is a police-state action.
George Galloway is an honorable man. He stands for principles, which more than you can say for Mr. Harper and yourself in this instance.
He has a piercing intelligence. And his way with words leaves even you, Rex, looking the true "sad sack."
He is a member of the Mother of Parliaments in good standing. There is no legitimate reason on earth to refuse him entry to Canada.
The only reason he is being treated in this police-state fashion is his views on the poor people of Palestine.
Israel's apologists simply hate him.
How shameful of you to speak disparagingly against him, but not a word about Israel's murder of 400 children and a thousand other people.
And to this day Israel will not supply the UN maps of where they dropped the dreaded cluster bombs in Southern Lebanon during another savage attack which killed another 1,400 or so, including a brave Canadian officer doing his duty.
