As always, vile scum posting on the board that can’t let a dead man be.
But it’s us liberals who are so full of hate, of course… the hypocrisy in the GOP Blowjob Barn is at unmitigated levels today, I see.
Try to set aside your ethnic solidarity with Kennedy for a moment and think clearly. Are there many GOP supporters on this thread? I think John S. is the only one.
We’re not supposed to gloat over the deaths of murderers, so RIP Ted Kennedy. He served his country in the way he thought was right.
This thread was not intended to gloat, I was simply informing everyone. When someone posted there thoughts on the matter and I agreed with them I let it be known. I did disagree with this man on his politics, but I have no sympathy for a murderer.
This is a thread to talk about the man, his politics, and his life. Their are a few people in the world I would throw a party for if they died, this man is not one of them.[/quote]
What good would it do? I’m not cheering for his death, but I’m not going to eulogize a man I viewed as an enemy of the revolutionary principles that made my country great either. Politicians like him are a symptom. Voters are the problem.

There’d be some other nails on the chalkboard lunatic in her place man.
"It’s a sad day. Ted Kennedy, lion of the left, has passed from this world. A vibrant melting pot of Americans of every persuasion mourn the loss, and hope to carry on his ideals in their own lives.
I, too, shed a tear. With a lump in my throat, I have written a deeply felt eulogy for Senator Kennedy. Pardon the hastily penned thoughts, but the words came spilling out of me like a deluge.
You, Senator Kennedy, are the slime and detritus of fish shit and flotsam that collects on the stones sitting at the bottom of the Chappaquiddick brine.
You, Senator Kennedy, are the bloated fermented sack of pestilent traitorous lying filth who helped pass the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 that in its effects has been a de facto genocide by another name against America’s majority and soon to be minority native sons and daughters, and from which calamitous effects you have spent a lifetime hypocritically barricading yourself behind the safe gates of lily white oases.
You, Senator Kennedy, are the greasy smegma that rings the pustuled, syphilitic cockhead of a piss and shit-stained gutter bum washed up on our streets with the help of an unlimited supply of family reunification visas.
You, Big Fat Fuck Ted, are a genuine American Traitor, brazenly disloyal to the American people while blindingly loyal to your twisted, fetid equalist ideology, and who should be thankful a blessed cancer ate your brain to mush instead of a hangman’s noose breaking your neck in the public square.
You, Kennedy scion, are an Avatar of the Great Lie, a repugnant purveyor of damnable falsehoods. The people of Massachusetts shame themselves in endlessly returning you to office.
Benedict Arnold commends you.
MS-13 laughs at you.
And I, Dear Dead Leader, do the happy dance over the gravesite of your lousy rotting corpse."

I said nothing of his politics. The simple fact is that he belonged in a jail cell 40 years ago. He’s a liar and a murderer. He ended a promising young woman’s life, and destroyed that of her family, and never looked back. He was more worried about saving his own ass than he was about saving her.
I'm certain there is a special seat in hell reserved just for him.

You are going to sit here and honestly compare Saddam to Ted Kennedy?

No, you are the one who seems to feel that you shouldn’t speak poorly of the dead even if they are bad men.
That said though, TK was a constant threat to my liberty and harmed me personally whereas Saddam never caused me any harm.
If someone broke into my house and raped my wife should I not speak poorly of him upon his death because his evil is nothing when you compare it to Hitler?

My condolences to his family.
My congratulations to his country.
We can mourn the loss of a human being that was loved by his family and friends without celebrating his life or his legacy. His vision for this country was either severely out of touch with reality, or very much against the freedom and independence that define us as a nation. Either way, most aspects of his political life, and some aspects of his person life and the lives he touched are not to be celebrated. Hopefully someone can learn from his mistakes so that the world can benefit from him having been here.
If you won’t be respectul of him in death because of Mary Jo, that is a fair point.
If you won’t be respectful of him in death because of his politics, you should be ashamed. A free society inevitably necessitates lots of free-thinking people who disagree with you. If that somehow bothers you, you should seriously reconsider whether it is a free society that you truly want.
If you honestly believe the world is better because a voice in a free society that disagrees with your politics has died, the deceased doesn’t need your respect - you have none worth offering.

He was a tragic waste. Highly intelligent, motivated and and an exceedingly shrewd and skilled legislator to say the very least. If he could have pointed his abilities at strengthening the United States instead of his relentless campaign for centralized power I may have been in tears upon hearing of his permanent horizontal posture.

I want a society that freely chooses to never again empower a man of such deplorable character and destructive political ambitions. The world will be better place if that is ever the case. This is most assuredly not limited to him or the Democrat party. I have not celebrated his death, but I will not show him respect either.

He and his bros left the country bankrupt.
Shouldn’t a man try to leave things better off because he was here? Are we better off because he was here?

Just because your starting quarterback loses the game doesn’t mean he isn’t one hell of a player. Or that he played badly for that matter.
Personal attacks against Kennedy here are as out of taste as a turd on a party platter.
Good luck on the other side Ted Kennedy.

He wasn’t just a voice. He did things that actually hurt people in this country. It is one thing to academically debate the merits of socialism it is another thing to enslave people with it.
Beside that he was a dirty, rotten, lying, no-good, murdering son-of-a-bitch. The world is a better place without him.
