And his own brother. Sirhan Sirhan would have never been in the country if it hadn’t been for the 1965 immigration act that Kennedy was instrumental in passing. Oh, and he’s also a liar because he said it wouldn’t change the ethnic composition of our nation. He’s lied about a bunch of other things as well. Politics really have nothing to do with it.

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.[/quote]
Agree with this.

I don’t know about pinning his own brothers death on him. That’s a complete stretch man. And as for the Immigration Act, that is not a lie. That is a politician being shortsighted and willfully ignorant, maybe, but since when have politicians been anything else? Hardly a lie, that’s simply a bureaucrat at work.

I rarely find myself agreeing with you, but when I do, I really do.

Nothing secret about it.
Am I glad he is gone? Sure am, only partialy so though. Still have 99 More to go. I know my senators in NY are complete fucktwats also. And I’m not saying I’d want them to die of a brain tumor, but maybe they could be caught with senator Clintons dick in senator Schummers ass and they would be forced to resign? Hey a guy can dream.

During times like these when a prominent politician whom I did not agree with dies I don’t rejoice. Instead I feel sorry for his family and friends who truly loved him and the great loss that they are now feeling.
For those of you filled with hate for this man let me remind you of one thing; we all make mistakes and not one of us will ever live a perfect life. No matter how great or little you think your particular sin might be it is all the same in the eyes of God.
May God forgive him for his sins and each of us ours.

As low a view as I have of this guy we really should be a bit more responsible with the word “murder”. He did not intentionally or even actively take anybody’s life.
He did act with personally responsible wanton disregard for the welfare of another human being resulting in their death while protecting his own interests. He further used his position to extricate himself from payment for this despicable action. However, this is still not murder, either technically or actually and credibility begins to slide when that charge is unjustifiably pasted to somebody.
Is political correctness really necessary to protect this murderer? Let’s not confuse the issue here.[/quote]
Who’d he murder? I don’t think he intended to kill Mary Jo or the guys who died on the plane he crashed.
Create a big government and the rats come out of the woodpile, to get in on the looting. Kennedy was a big Rat. A big rat has died.

Sorry, he was a piece of shit. I am not cheering his death, I am happy he’s finally out of congress and I am sorry the Mass. voters were so fucking stupid as to repeatedly vote for this low life cock sucker over and over again because he is a Kennedy. This unfortunately made it so death was the only way he was ever going to leave…They seriously need to explore term limits for congressmen.

Ummmm gee, could you perhaps use a simpler metaphor for Tiribulus? Metaphors really aren’t his thing.
He was a man who really fought for the people of Mass. RIP Senator.

You are entitled to your opinion but I disagree. Heres a direct quote from our president.
â??For five decades, virtually every major piece of legislation to advance the civil rights, health, and economic well being of the American people bore his name and resulted from his efforts.â??
Obviously the reason people voted for him was because he was a very productive Senator. Here’s an inspirational quote of his about the standards we should encourage for Americans.
“Every American should have the opportunity to receive a quality education, a job that respects their dignity and protects their safety, and health care that does not condemn those whose health is impaired to a lifetime of poverty and lost opportunity.”
I did a little reading on the Chappaquiddick incident, and it was estimated that Kopechne could have been alive for as long as two hours underwater - surviving off a pocket of air trapped within the car.
What a fucking scumbag this guy was.

And that’s got to be the tip of the iceberg, what the public was allowed to know. The hidden stuff must be beyond human comprehension.

You and him were born on the wrong side of the world. His tremendous accomplishments have predictably succeeded in destroying those they allege to help, have advanced the ideology of this nation’s enemies, and bankrupted my children’s future while tattooing his hypocritical elitist ass to a senate seat until death. Like Push said. He is the quintessential poster boy for everything that is strangling this once mighty and free nation to death. My condolences to his family and I do not celebrate his death, but he will not be missed by me.
Oh yeah, your analogy is both internally inconsistent and does not answer to the facts. Keep trying.

Wow, so TK was liked by a whole bunch of other people I’d like to see dead. I’m sure Hitler was loved by more people than TK but I’d have revelled in his demise as well. We need to grow up as you say and recognize that it’s not okay to just shake hands at the end of the day as friends when it comes to some areas in politics. Your critique would also be fair if Kennedy were not in office. But the fact is that every day he sat in office was a day he used the most powerful weapon on Earth, the U.S. Government, to attack me personally.
But then again, no fear, I’m sure Kennedy’s corpse will still manage to get re-elected.
