Now there's a grown-up debating tactic!

Kimberley Strassel reviews the Hitchens-Galloway debate for the Wall Street Journal:

Nor is Mr. Galloway in any way a debater. His talent--if that's what you'd call it--is in whipping mindless crowds into furious hysteria over perceived bogeymen. There are historical precedents here, and let's just say that as the waves of Galloway outrage and anger ripped across the auditorium I half-expected his acolytes to break into a "Heil!" or two.
