Even if you were opposed to Lantos politically, he was a man you could respect.

I don’t care what his politics were, this is a terrible shame.
To: managusta
Was he still in office? I thought I saw him on CSPAN just a couple of weeks ago.

Can anyone identify which party he was in, and identify his term of service. I hate to give NBC the hit.
That said, and regardless of the answers, may God bless and comfort his family and friends.

Democrat from the San Fransico area. About as far left socialist as you can get. Love abortion only a little less than he loved gun control.

The last of the sincere liberals. The idealism of the 60s democrat died with Lantos.
The remaining liberals are self-serving power grabbers or agenda pushers.

Indeed. I cared little for the man’s politics, but I wish him eternal rest and my sympathies to his family.

Even though I disagreed with almost all of his political positions, Tom Lantos came from being a Holocaust survivor to being a member of Congress.
That in itself is deserving of respect and keep him in our prayers, and for his family.
