So when is Lantos up for reelection. He may find himself joining Joe Lieberman in the new liberal independent party.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I saw this news yesterday and agree with Lantos. Wonder what came over him ?

[avacado]

It scares me when the moonbats start sounding logical. ????

[conservativecorner]

If I'm not mistaken, I read that he was a victim of the Holocaust. If anyone has more info, it would be greatly appreciated.

[hipaatwo]

He's a Holocaust survivor.

[greasepaint]

WTF?

Bush wants to give money to Hezbanon?

Their is a limit to my patience.

The 76-year-old Lantos, who escaped from Nazi labor camps and served in the anti-Nazi underground in his native Hungary, will help represent the United States on Monday at a special United Nations General Assembly session to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the liberation of all the Nazi death camps.

He and his wife, Annette, who also lived through the Holocaust -- which consumed most of Hungary's 600,000 Jews in just a few short months in 1944 -- will fly to Poland on Tuesday. They will be part of the official U.S. delegation to mark the day -- Jan. 27, 1945 -- when forces of the Soviet 60th Army of the First Ukrainian Front liberated the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.

Most of the close relatives of Lantos and his wife were among the estimated 1 million Jews, 150,000 non-Jewish Poles, 23,000 Gypsies, 15,000 Soviet prisoners of war and 10,000 war prisoners of other nationalities who died at Auschwitz in its gas chambers or from starvation and disease.

Their --> There

[McGavin999]

He's always been strong for Israel.

[demkicker]

Lantos is a member of the House and is therefore up for re-election in November.

Will be interesting to see if the left punishes him, or if he's heralded for opposing Bush.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I saw an interview of Lantos talking about his Holocaust experience and how he felt about coming to the US as a youngster. No doubt this had something to do with it.

[Parley Baer]

Lantos should be peeved at Jimma Carter for his remarks on the Holocaust.

[conservativecorner]

He comes by it rightfully. He and his wife are Holocaust survivors. He has seen what evil can dwell in the hearts of man.

[Bubba M. Aurelius]

He and Soros will not be celebrating Shabat

[hipaatwo]

He and Soros will not be celebrating Shabat


Meaning?

[TexasPatriot8]

"He is a holocaust survivor"

Ahhhhhhh, NOW I understand. That makes perfect sense now. He better be careful voicing those positions of his. The DNC might do to him what they did to Leiberman. The DNC doesn't like dissent or difference of opinions.

[fish hawk]

Did we give money to Japan and Germany during WWII?

[Marysecretary]

Jimmah needs to shut up and quit putting down Israel, Tony Blair (the latest one) and our government. He is such a liability to our country. Go build houses, Jimmah, and quit destroying nations!

[southlake_hoosier]

Bush wants to give about $325 million.
