Prayers for him and his family. I have walked this path with my husband.
...and a fighter in the anti-Nazi underground..
And this deserves admiration and respect!
My Father died of that.
Lantos will too.
Very poor odds for him.
That’s one way to get rid of a Communist in the House.
Prayers for Lantos and his family.
This type of cancer is generally associated with heavy alcohol consumption. Beware.
Prayers for him and his family.
Sorry for his illness, prayers for him and his family.
Though the odds are long, I hope he bets it.
On balance he did the wrong things. And the things he did "right" I wouldn't attribute to character. Wasn't he the guy who hit someone with his car and tried to get away with it? A Jack Cafferty/Rick Sanchez type situation?
I pray he heals and is cured.
However, I *am* elated he is retiring. His political positions make me retch.
I lost all respect for him when I saw him badgering General Patreaus. That being said, I hope he recovers from his cancer (though not sufficiently to run for office again).
For a second I thought it said “Latinos.”
I thought “All the Latinos in Congress have cancer?”
Steadfast for this support of Israel?
“Speaking just for myself, I would be ready to get on a plane tomorrow morning, because however objectionable, unfair and inaccurate many of (Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s) statements are, it is important that we have a dialogue with him,’’ Lantos said. “Speaking for myself, I’m ready to go — and knowing the speaker, I think that she might be.”
...
Lantos noted that “with the speaker’s support,” he has co-sponsored legislation in the House that calls for making available to all countries — including Iran — nuclear fuel for peaceful purposes under international oversight by establishing a “nuclear fuel bank.”

Nevertheless, I wish him well. May the Lord be with him and understanding of his failings, in his hour of need...
I hope Mr. Lantos enjoys being retired from congress as much as I will enjoy him not being there...
My uncle died 9 months after being diagnosed with this same cancer. I wish him and his doctors success...and a cure for this awful disease.
ouch
"Just a reminder to the predominantly Muslim-led government[s] in this world that here is yet another example that the United States leads the way for the creation of a predominantly Muslim country in the very heart of Europe. This should be noted by both responsible leaders of Islamic governments, such as Indonesia, and also for jihadists of all color and hue. The United States' principles are universal, and in this instance, the United States stands foursquare for the creation of an overwhelmingly Muslim country in the very heart of Europe."
Can't stand the man, think that his positions on many important issues are despicable, and I have no respect for the job he did in Congress.
However, after having said all of that, May God Have Mercy on his soul. I wouldn't wish such misery and suffering on anyone --even Tom Lantos!
