"You have to help us, because if it was not for us you would now be a province of Nazi Germany," Lantos said, according to the Dutch lawmakers.

Tom Lantos is exactly the kind of Democrat statesman who wins European goodwill.

"The comments killed the debate," said Harry van Bommel, a member of the Socialist Party. "It was insulting and counterproductive.

Almost as bad as sharing a political ideology with National Socialists, eh Bommel?

People can lie to themselves as much as they want to. Socialists and National Socialists are brother buggerers in the same bed.

The Dutch government soon will announce whether its troops will stay in the southern Afghan province of Uruzgan, where they recently have begun an anti-Taliban offensive backed by British and Afghan forces.

In other words, "Oh, damn, you mean you want us to actually lift a finger in the WOT? We can't just sit and bitch about the US, and golf-clap when terrorists are killed as if by magic? What the--? What nut got us into THAT agreement?!"

[Chi-townChief]

Amazing.

A Lantos aide said he realizes that the Guantanamo facility does harm to the reputation of the United States and has praised judges who ruled in favor of extending legal rights to prisoners.

Yes, the Guantanamo facility has done harm to the reputation of the United States: it has made us appear soft in the eyes of the murderous muslim filth we're fighting. In fact, we should have taken no battlefield prisoners in Afghanistan, and we should have wrapped the fighters we killed in pork skins before burying them in unmarked graves.

We're still fighting this war; kindness is a sentiment only the victorious can afford.

Aaaaaw, what's the matter, a-wipe, truth hurt?

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Whine, whine, if we don’t get on our knees for our Muslim masters, they might riot.

[Popman]

Can’t these moonbats just shut up for one day?

[Hardastarboard]

Peters said. "The mere suggestion that the United States could be compared with Nazi Germany is so flawed."

Hey, Democrat moonbats (I know, it's redundant). This statement is from a member of the European Greens. They're lefties just like you fools, and they get it.

I love it when lefties get in a pissing match. Everybody gets wet, and nobody's happy.

PWN3D!!!

While the statement "...if it was not for us you would now be a province of Nazi Germany..." is true, it was mis-applied if his associated context was that Guantanamo needs to be liberated in the same fashion as Auschwitz.

Lantos is an immigrant and I respect his personal past. But I don't think he'd appreciate a colleague on the House floor that had differences with him, reminding him that he should "help us out" with this bill or that, because "if it weren't for us he be a lampshade".

“We need to work out an international deal on the future of Guantanamo Bay,” said Hans van Baalen, of the Liberals, who led the delegation.”
SCREW YOU HANSY!

[Gritty]

[kabar]

Lantos is a liberal through and through. He wears his Holocaust survivor status on his sleeve. He is a nasty, dispicable twerp. I get a kick out of his use of the word “us,” in terms of stopping the Nazis from taking over Holland. I guess there are times when even a liberal can identify with America.

[kabar]

Oh, and by the way, despite what is said in the article, Lantos signed a congressional letter in June of this year to Bush urging him to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and move the detainees there to military prisons in the United States.

"Let's not forget we are in a state of war — not only the United States but also my country — with Islamic terrorists," said the far right Freedom Party leader, Geert Wilders. "I think we could only learn from Guantanamo."

LMAO. Little Desi Butler of the disgusting AP did a fairly straight forward job of reporting (unusual for AP), using almost no pejorative or adulatory adjectives to describe the various speakers or their parties and gave direct quotes from them.

But he just couldn't help himself, he HAD TO slip the shiv into the only one in the group with a sense of reality and the courage to say what needed to be said.

BTW far right in a European sense means someone who thinks they have a right to exist and (horror of horrors) defend themselves from direct attack.

[Sal]

"We need to work out an international deal on the future of Guantanamo Bay," said Hans van Baalen, of the Liberals, who led the delegation.

Maybe you should tell us, Hansie boy, why WE need to work out anything with a bunch of pisant pussies who can't wait to lay down and spread for anybody who wants to kill every single stinkin' one of you (and us).

You may not see yourselves as fit to live, and you may be right. You know yourselves better than we do. But WE are fit to live, we know it, and we intend to do so no matter how you whimper, whine, and demand.

A Lantos aide said he realizes that the Guantanamo facility does harm
to the reputation of the United States and has praised judges who
ruled in favor of extending legal rights to prisoners.
He has not, however, suggested that the prison be closed.

That last comment is surely one sure-fire way to lose "street cred"
with Democrats these days!

[B Knotts]

The lawmakers said that Rep. Tom Lantos, D-Calif., chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told them that "Europe was not as outraged by Auschwitz as by Guantanamo Bay."

I'm not fan of Lantos, but this is exactly right.

So many of these European socialists pretend that Club Gitmo is some kind of death camp, when its conditions are actually better than our own citizens get when they are incarcerated.

And, as I seem to recall, some of the terrorists are there because their own countries don't want them back.

[Bender2]

Hey, Tom Lantos has been insulting the American Public for years, so why shouldn’t the Dutch shoulder a little of his load—
