The Respect MP George Galloway has attacked attempts to extradite Julian Assange to Sweden, arguing that: “even if the allegations made by these two women were 100 per cent true. . . they don’t constitute rape.”

Now he has gone further and said those pointing out the facts of the case were stooges of the Pentagon and “must delight” the US Secret Service.

Galloway’s comments were unearthed by Alex Hern at the New Statesman, from the video above.

After the story went viral and Galloway received widespread abuse, Galloway took to Twitter:

Oh my, what a lot of “liberal” useful idiots the Empire can count on. It’s about WIKILEAKS stupid…! — George Galloway (@georgegalloway) August 20, 2012

Oh how this ” liberal” chorus of Pavlovian reaction must delight the Pentagon! — George Galloway (@georgegalloway) August 20, 2012

Several people have pointed out that the allegations against Julian Assange definitely amount to rape – yet this doesn’t seem to have stopped some of their fans spouting the most uninformed rubbish.
