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

Sure, he was a Holocaust survivor and a supporter of our military abroad...

He sucked politically, and I would respect a lying pimp more.

A person's death is not a celebratory occasion (well, except for hanoi jane, and a few others when their time comes)but his politics generated nothing but utter and complete contempt, as well as his mannerisms while sitting behind his gavel.

IIRC, he hit someone with his car, yelled at them and took off. Sort of a Jack Cassidy/Rick Sanchez thingie. So, let's not go overboard here. I'm willing to let it go since he's dead, but not willing to make a Saint out of him.

I can’t respect him for what he has done in Congress.

I agree, a fine man, may he rest in peace. Now he did make comments that made my blood boil, but he was a gentleman about it most of the time and a true survivor.

“he was a man you could respect.”

What are you smoking? He was a freaking baby killer advocate.

As for me, politics cannot be separated from the list of things that determine whether or not I respect a man.

Your politics and positions on the issues in real terms defines whether you are an honorable or dishonorable man and whether you are a moral or immoral man.

Judging by Lantos behavior in congress, I have very little respect for him
