OK - let's be intelligent about this - he was probably intending to be modest - telling the attendees that we, as Americans, are modest and have much to learn - think about it - what is the opposite - we are smarter than you - how modest is that? People take things way WAY too literally.

I wonder if Toricelli is still trying to suck the sand out of his Benz. What a ho'!

If he would have just said "we have much to learn", I could buy that, but he said "we have little to teach" to those that have been attacking us since the Iranian hostage crisis. He's a "Blame America Firster".

Torch was one of the big DemocRATic supporters of the Gulf War in Congress. These Moslems were probably mighty pleased once they bought him off. I wonder if any of their contributions can be found on publicly available databases.

It doesn't need to make AP. It's on the net.

No other outlet has picked up o this NEWS....it is NEWS. US SEnators should NOT be talking down the US like that. Who does he think he is, Chelsea Clinton???
To: Congressman Billybob
Are New Jerseyans So CORRUPT that they would vote in this Clymer AGAIN after what is out there about him?? Idiots.
To: nycbiggie1
If you want the Torch to skate, that's alright. But there is no mistaking the pandering that his remarks suggest. The man is for sale, and, for the audience hearing these remarks, he got down on his knees to take it.

This is your Senator isn't it? ;-)

Here's a web mention from 1998 of The Torch attending some gathering that had members of Hamas present. Click
here. Interesting article. Anyone recall hearing of this?

This won't make it to AP. Of course it won't. The AP and their democrat allies in the press will ratchet up the lies and hyperbole this month and go into full campaign mode for the democrats right after Labor Day.
I had a radical leftist professor say the same thing. If this meeting was taped then it had better appear in a Forrester ad.
To: rickmichaels
Even I wouldn't vote for the Torch.

Yes, interesting article, especially this paragraph:
In the U.S. Senate race in New Jersey, Muslims rallied to Democrat Robert Torricelli after his opponent, Republican Richard Zimmer, accused him of pandering to Islamic terrorists. Torricelli had appeared at an Arab-American gathering that reportedly was attended by guests with ties to Hamas, a militant organization opposed to the state of Israel. Torricelli likened the attack to an ethnic smear.
And no, I don't recall hearing about this before.
To: rickmichaels
I wouldn't vote for the guy for many other reasons, but in all fairness, that comment seems to be taken completely out of context.
