    You push people long enough, mock their values, and lie about them being racists, and eventually, those people start to fight back.

    Should be an interesting election cycle. :devilwink:

    The way the media plays the race card is fucking disgusting.

    In the hours immediately following Senator Ted Kennedy's death, Breitbart called Kennedy a "villain", a "duplicitous bastard", a "prick" and "a special pile of human excrement."

    Who's mocking whom?

    Kennedy was all those things.

    The Truth isn't a bad thing.

    Mary Jo Kopechne says hello. Liberal Boston Globe writers think otherwise, though.

    I hate to say it, but having an affair with your employee, lying about it, then running off a bridge intoxicated and leaving her to drown wasn't exactly being a good steward of the tax payers money. And then, being as Kennedy, getting to get off on the charges and continue on as if nothing happened is disgusting.

    Now, that said, he was an outstanding public servant (given the fact he was a politician).

    Kennedy used protection from libel and slander laws (in the senate floor) to say worse things about various people than what was said about him.

    Sauce for the gander.

    As do many politicians.

    Whether one likes his politics or not, he was a deeply influential US Senator and well respected by his peers.

    Being respected by other unethical pieces of shit isn't a high honor, IMO. Kennedy was at the forefront of everything that is wrong with today's political climate, at least in terms of how he performed his job. Both Biden and Kennedy are scumbags for the circus they orchestrated during the Clarence Thomas hearings.

    Watching a moral coward like Ted Kennedy sit there and judge a fine man like Clarence Thomas, and not let Thomas comment on what Anita Hill had said to the media and the FBI, boggles the mind.

    I get all that. I also know some of the money Anita Hill got was traced back to Kennedy.

    But any politician that is as powerful as he is (on the left or right) will have their share of abuses against the trust placed to them by the public. It's politics.

    Thomas and Bork were neither good men, good justices, nor good Americans.

    Maybe not, but neither of them left a woman to drown in a submerged car as they ran home to huddle with their family.

    Psssssst, Maris, Bork never became a Supreme Court Justice. But keep it to ourselves.

    Do you have any evidence there was an affair? A witness, anything? There are also innuendoes that Bush had an affair, whispers that Reagan had one, you name it. But no evidence, the same as this. After 40 years, if they had been flirting at the party, some witness would have said so publicly by now.

    All we know is that there was a work party with alcohol served (I've seen plenty and so have you) and he was driving home a woman there without a car (I've seen this often and I'm sure you have). It's one thing to criticize him for not calling the police until he had sobered up so that he wouldn't get a DUI and have a political embarrassment, and it's a totally separate matter to say with such certainty that there was any romance involved.

    Well, you know, when a person calls a bunch of folks he doesn't know filthy animals, freaks, rapists and murderers, I'd say the hate is on his side.

    Don't you know the rules Cran? It is OK for conseratives to talk like that because they are expressing sincere moral outrage. Politeness and restraint are only virtues for librals.

    Seems to me the point is that there is hate on both sides, but that the media only shows one side of it (Tea Bagging, etc.). I'm interested to see what Breitbart has up his sleeve this year.

    The press sure gave Harry Reid a pass for his racist comments about then candidate Obama.

    But sure, the hate is on one side.

    Certainly there are buffoons on both side of the aisle.
