Unfortunately, Obama could use Trafficant to accomplish his goal to cut off Israel.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Mostly because the guy is amusing and quite sharp. There was major misconduct and perjury at his trial. Capri Cafaro wanted his seat and what Capri wanted her daddy would get for her.

He never really was a Washington insider, Traficant was true to his roots. If you were one of his he would look out for you.

Perfect, never. The kind of guy you would have over for a beer? Yep.

[demkicker]

He at least should get a fair chance afterward

I didn't say he shouldn't "get a fair chance (afterward)" and don't understand your remark. What exactly is the "kind of chance" you want to give him? Are you implying that you would support him in a congressional role again or what exactly?

Methinks don Trafficante was housed in the same wing as the Aryan Brotherhood.

Now, he’s just Jim “Da JOOOOS! Da JOOOOS!” Trafficante.

Signed, disgusted FORMER fan of this moron.

[swheats]

I’m not sure about political office again. I’m listening to see what he’s saying now.

[novemberslady]

Only one way to find out, but I don’t think so.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

He hasn’t changed a bit!

[blackminorca]

Don,

He thinks he was targeted by Israel for embarassing them on Demjanjuk - they were forced to acquit after Traficant did a Freedom of Information to find the exculpating evidence that the Justice Dept was witholding.

Traficant got off easy - one Israeli defense lawyer was thrown out of a 20 story window and the other was blinded with acid.

I saw him on Greta, he’s a damn antisemite! Typical machine democrap, those of you who are proud of voting for him should be ashamed. lol, spell check is completely hosed right now.

[rangerwife]

ROFL!! Thanks for the laugh. I was wondering if someone was going to post that picture.

[demkicker]

Granted, Traficant was amusing but he knew the D.C. drill - even though he got caught up in the corrupted musings. I’m sick of excusing those who break the law and I don’t give a flying crap if he was sharp enough to join Mensa or Maniacs.

I really do wish Traficant the best, but he really does need to find the exit door.

[Brugmansian]

WOW!!

Fox News certainly had a week, didn't it? Van Jones, ACORN and now this.

Like to crawl around the head of Cindy Sheehan and other anti-Israeli lefties right about now and watch the gears clatter and clunk as they process this being on their arch-enemy and nemesis Fox News and not their beloved MSNBC.

[swheats]

I don’t believe he’s an anti-semite.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I am not excusing him.

There was major misconduct at his trial, that is a fact. That he sailed very close to the wind and probably crossed the line is undoubtedly true as well. Viewing the trial I am just not sure he was convicted of something he actually did.

If, as is reported here, he is blaming the Israelis then that is both sad and quite wrong of him.

[SoCalPol]

He has the anti-semite talking points down.
He would fit in with Pat Buchanan.

[swheats]

As I’ve said I don’t believe he’s anti-semite. It’s too easy to name call. That’s like calling a person a racist just for telling the truth.

I thought he would have said more about Geitner, Rangel and the others who were tax cheats.

[SoCalPol]

Many went through the 1930s in Europe not wanting to believe either.

I grew up around many dozens of people just a few years out of the Concentration camps with numbers on their arm.

Saying Traf. is not an anti semite is like saying Obama
is just a misguided liberal

[swheats]

Well I guess he’s definitely one to watch in the future.

[demkicker]

If, as is reported here, he is blaming the Israelis then that is both sad and quite wrong of him.

Yep - sounds as if the critter on his head crawled inside his belfry. Like I said, the guy needs to find the exit door and use it.

[Don Joe]

I don’t believe he’s an anti-semite.

Me neither.

I mean, of course he's not an anti-semite. He just hates Jews, is all. No biggie.

All pleasantries aside, I've known antisemites -- I've got scars on my body I see every day to remind me that they really do exist -- and believe me, I can smell the stench a mile away.

don Traficante stinks.
