http://thinkprogress.org/2008/02/13/rep-nadler-savage-has-no-shame-and-no-decencyRep. Nadler: Savage ‘has no shame and no decency.’Yesterday, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) responded to conservative radio host Michael Savage’s recent claim that Rep. Tom Lantos (D-CA), who passed away last Monday, used the Holocaust “as a weapon”:
“Yet again, Mr. Savage has shown why he has no shame and no decency, and his remarks are an affront to all decent people. Tom Lantos was a great public servant, humanitarian and educator. As the only survivor of the Shoah to ever serve in Congress, Tom’s passing is a great loss to our country and the world. He fought hatred and anti-Semitism — like the despicable remarks of Mr. Savage — everywhere.
“The ignorance of Mr. Savage’s remarks makes it clear that Tom’s work is still not done. Every American should commit themselves to the example of Congressman Lantos. I can think of no finer tribute to that great man.”
