Ted Kennedy Dies of Brain Cancer at Age 77

What I see is obvious. A new user who is probably a sock puppet for an old user, with no access, no contacts, and no prestige, trashing those who are exercising free speech rights.

You look down your nose at us and sneer, thinking you are the epitomy of class. We have parents, and you are not them.

I will act however I wish to act in regards to death, and your approval or disapproval are nothing but an opportunity for mockery.

You, sir, and I use the term loosely, are no American, in your zeal to silence free speech.


Dead wrong on various points.

I am a new user and I am not fronting for an old user.

Your guess is as wrong as your crazy behavior towards Ted Kennedy's passing. No Congressmen, Senator in Washington would condone your vacuous comments.

They would, rightfully and hastily, distance themselves from you, as you are not a serious individual with nothing serious things to say.

Your wretched effort to turn your comments into a kind of debate about your "freedom" is quite fantastic.

And you are right, I am no American.

I am a Canadian.

You seem to have a very optimistic view on life.

My view, although unhappy, is the truth. Ted's dead and you will join him sooner or later. Americans need to stop sensationalizing death and acting all ****ing mopey every time it happens. Ted's dead...it doesn't change anything in the real world. Life goes on.

One way or the other, I can't really see how insulting dead people promotes anyone's ideas, arguments or values.
Please elaborate?

Zyph's comment just annoyed me, is all. If people want to **** on Ted Kennedy's memory then I don't see any problem with that. His being dead doesn't change anything he did while alive.

Oh well if they don't approve. :roll: :doh
 
Why not both? I mean, we can use the extra gas from the cramatorium for the ham hocks!

Ummmm quick question. Can we bring family? I mean I could knock out three birds with one stone at a funeral where we'll have BBQ, Coronas and music. Also I know a few strippers who'd love to have a funeral on their resumes and a bunch of young guys on DP who need sex. Dav needs to get laid. We could do this like as a yearly thing. Just show up at Catz grave and have like a big ass DP get together.
 
The man died. That is what is summated in the original post. It was also noted that it was his life's passion to see UHC passed. Let's bicker about it why don't we. Let's turn it into a debate. Arguably the last influential Kennedy is dead. So let us politicize it. Let us whine about how its on our "news" channels all day. Let us debate his historic influence.

Oh so inconsiderate.

I will mourn for a few moments with the normal people and move on.
 
Spare us the sanctimonious b.s. He was a drunken sot from a privileged background. You're delusional if you think he was a statesman. He was set up, from BIRTH, to play a role.

Now he's dead.

boo-de-frickin-hoo.

Yes, a man who lost three brothers in service to this great country, two most likely assasinated by crazed right-wingers. And yet, he was brave enough to continue on, championing the causes of the poor and downtrodden. Instead of selling out to whichever corporations would pay him the most , he worked on passing legislation that helped all - - from civil rights, the handicapped, to to schip for kids. There's no telling the countless lives that have been saved or bettered by this man, who yes, was far from perfect.

I of course realize the rabid right have and will always hate anything Kennedy, but I had a sliver of hope that more than a few would wait one day before flinging their vile feces, but once again I misunderestimated the foul vulgarity of the classless cons.




"My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life; to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today, pray that what he was to us, and what he wished for others will some day come to pass for all the world. As he said many times, in many parts of this nation, to those he touched and who sought to touch him: 'Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not.'"
-- June 1968, eulogizing his brother, Robert
 
Sorry to see you go, Mr Kennedy. You were completely ahead of your time writing In Critical Condition about the healthcare system. My we reform healthcare in your honor.

They would not approve because to agree with some of the paltry comments exhibited towards Kennedy, would essentially be a declaration of their insanity.

No serious individual would ever utter such deplorable opinions.

Clearly, some of you do not want to be taken seriously.

Wish granted.

I'm going to say this once, and once only:

Teddy Kennedy was no John or Bobby. Teddy Kennedy will get the same eulogy from me that I'm saving for the other bombastic assholes like Robert Byrd, Newt Gingrich, and Trent Lott.

None of these people put America first, and none of them deserve a second of silent respect.

Teddy Kennedy was a slimy, boozing, second-rate progeny of a family that has outlasted its greatness. The only reason that Teddy Kennedy had the opportunity to serve the people of Massachusetts was because he had the right cognomen. The idea that we should mourn an elitist who didn't do a thing to earn the power he wielded is beyond absurd.

Teddy Kennedy represents EVERYTHING, every single damn thing, that is presently wrong with American politics. And he is joined in this by the names I've listed above.

D00d, I thought the strippers were a given. how can you have a funeral without strippers?

I don't recall anyone asking why they wouldn't approve. The point is that nobody cares whether they would approve or not...except for you.

He politicized his own death.

I can do whatever I want and say whatever I want as long as it doesn't violate forum rules.

You think mourning some politician who you never knew is normal?

How many times have you mourned the death of a Soldier or Marine? How many whiney, cry-baby threads do they get?
 
Well, they did have an expectation that they might trample some boom-boom in Kandahar, whereas it's more difficult to blame someone for having brain cancer, I suppose. :shrug:

Bloated romanticizing for a politician and nothing more.

His job was to get re-elected and he would do anything that would make that happen, he's like every other politician out there.

Oh noez da canadian does not take me seriously because the Good Reverend laughed at the notion that we should care what our public servants think of us as if they are royalty... .


Sad panda, so sad panda. :(

I'm hoping they name the final bill after him. That would be a great tribute.

Wrong again.

The point is, it is classless.

I find it ironic some of the more vocal elements on this site passionately argue for their arguments to be taken seriously in other threads.

Yet in another corner of the site, they dance on someone's grave and wonder why no one takes them seriously.

They are not taken seriously because they are not serious individuals.
