What are the Obamas doing there, I thought Muslims were not allowed in
the
Catholic church, well I guess it's fitting since good old Teddy the
murdering,
drunkard, womanizing, hypocrite is flat on his back. A end to an
error, at last.

Great job politicizing the funeral with the pimping of health-care
reform. A champion
of this a defender of that, yet nobody can cite one example of his
accomplishments,
more like the lack thereof.

still an idiot, I see. The funeral is today, that was a 'celebration of
life' last night. If you cannot figure out Ted Kennedy's accomplishments, it
doesn't shock me. Hell,
you still think Obama is a Muslim. And that, sir, speaks volumes.
yeesh, get the clue bat,

Pokin' at the **** wasn't enough, now you gotta squish it
between your toes ?

You sure are raisin' a hell of a stink. I don't know why
people always say, "I hate to say I told you so", because
I *love* to say I told you so. ;-)

It is interesting though how many of the usual suspects are
eager to raise their hands and say "Me, me, me !!" when you
ask "Who's an ill bred, low-class simpleton with not a shred
of human decency or dignity ?"

Carry on.

And when you don't think they could go any lower, they let Teddy's
grandson offer up a prayer on healthcare...unreal..

Apparently the liberal amateur theologians think it’s perfectly
kosher
to pray for universal health care — on TV, in the middle of a
national
debate, at a funeral service ostensibly devoted to grieving over
someone, by
exploiting an innocent child — because, um, Jesus would have supported
it.

Kennedy had a close friendship with Nancy Astor; the correspondence
between them is reportedly replete with anti-Semitic tropes.[20] As
Edward Renehan notes:

As fiercely anti-Communist as they were anti-Semitic, Kennedy and
Astor looked upon Adolf Hitler as a welcome solution to both of these
"world problems" (Nancy's phrase).... Kennedy replied that he expected
the "Jew media" in the United States to become a problem, that "Jewish
pundits in New York and Los Angeles" were already making noises
contrived to "set a match to the fuse of the world."[21]

According to Harvey Klemmer, who served as one of Kennedy's embassy
aides, Kennedy habitually referred to Jews as "kikes or sheenies."
Kennedy allegedly told Klemmer that "[some] individual Jews are all
right, Harvey, but as a race they stink. They spoil everything they
touch."[13] When Klemmer returned from a trip to Germany and reported
the pattern of vandalism and assault on Jews by Nazis, Kennedy
responded, "Well, they brought it on themselves."

and, you really think I didn't think this thread would yield a range of
opinions, from the sanguine to the bizarre??
By the way, I only have seen a handful of posting folks who lack any sense
of nuance on the matter. One of them has long stated a disdain for the
Kennedy clan, and should be applauded for lack of hypocrisy, I suppose. The
others have moved way past that level, onto distasteful crap that one would
expect from the sources involved. Still, fishing has been slow, I'm still
working on my treatise regarding long-line release physics, and we've gotten
some fascinating insights here. ROFF, in all it's glory, I say.

Hypocrisy is not at the top of the list of things a person
lacks when they post that someone is a piece of **** the
day after he passes away. And applause wasn't my reaction,
mine was deleting a couple of entries off my iPhone.

Well, roff in all its glory, squishing **** between your toes,
not a whole hell of a lot of difference, I guess.

This is very important information, when we wish to understand what
Ted Kennedy accomplished in his life. He chose his allies carefully -
namely the KGB. He worked with them against the USA as revealed by old
Soviet archives.

( Link )

Kennedy had instructed Tunney, according to the KGB, to carry a
message to Yuri Andropov, the General Secretary of the Soviet
Communist Party, expressing Kennedy's concern about the anti-Soviet
activities of President Ronald Reagan.

The KGB reported "in Kennedy's opinion the opposition to Reagan
remains weak. Speeches of the president's opponents are not well-
coordinated and not effective enough, and Reagan has the chance to use
successful counterpropaganda." Kennedy offered to "undertake some
additional steps to counter the militaristic policy of Reagan and his
campaign of psychological pressure on the American population."

Kennedy asked for a meeting with Andropov for the purpose of "arming
himself with the Soviet leader's explanations of arms control policy
so he can use them later for more convincing speeches in the U.S." He
also offered to help get Soviet views on the major U.S. networks and
suggested inviting "Elton Rule, ABC chairman of the board, or
observers Walter Cronkite or Barbara Walters to Moscow." ...

Kennedy should be exalted - by Putin and the old KGB hardliners. He
followed the path of so many other Democrats who adhered to our
enemies in times of conflict.

whatever floats yer boat, Ken. I'll take honesty, and posting about the
recently deceased, when they are and have been public celebrities their
whole lives is not anything that offends me, personally.

An honest, distasteful, low-class comment is still a distasteful,
low-class comment. I was more surprised than personally offended.
I expected that kind of atrocious manners from the usual ill-bred
morons around here but not from someone who supposedly has been
schooled in the social graces.

Ken, I get your principle. I'm sure you remember that I stood, pretty
indignant, over the same principle after Gherke passed. The difference, to
my mind, is this: The Gherke thread was intended to be directed to his
widow.
This thread, I strongly suspect, will not be followed by any member of the
Kennedy family, was not intended for their benefit, and excepting Wolfgang,
no family friends will likely ever read it, or care.
