ABC and CBS are reporting Senator Edward Kennedy has died at age 77.
As was said at the time of his intial diagnosis, while we may not agree with his politics, his battle with cancer was one no one would have wanted to face. He answered the challenge and diligently served his country to the end, which in the end is probably the best epitaph you can write for any politician.

No Child Left Behind was Kennedy's brain child and Bush supported it when he was first elected as an attempt to reach across he aisles. When it was passed and the unions didn't like the results the Dems, whose bill it was in the first place, disavowed it and blamed it on the GOP. Cowards!
I just listened to ABC's segment on Kennedy. I especially liked the part where they said hat he couldn't win the Dem nomination over Carter because he was dogged by an 11 year old scandal. I guess that's what murder is when your Kennedy.
I felt sympathy for him when he was diagnosed. Brain cancer is an awful way to go. Yet while I had sympathy for the man I have nothing but revulsion for his legacy.

I am struck however by the fact that his critical vote for, and his action on behalf of, Health Reform (Obamacide) was taken away from him before he could see a positive result.
If you believe that Kennedy is with God, as I do, then you could also postulate that God perhaps did not like the direction that Obamacide was taking.

Actually, neither. It was just an analogy. Or as Rush would say "illustrating absurdity by being absurd".
My complaint is with the "remember that this man had a family" argument for only saying nice things about him.
So, now that he's dead, SUDDENLY his family is going to start reading what everyone is saying about their dearly departed...and they are only going to read what has been written about him SINCE his death and nothing before that.
"Remember that this man had a family" sounds nice and all, but is actually kind of meaningless. He had a family yesterday too. By that same logic, we should never say anything critical about anyone ever if they have/had a family.

For all the outraged libs on the board I remember when Reagan was shot and the unbridled joy when it happened and the disappointment when he survived.
Ted Kennedy had a career of political divisiveness and the result is the rancor that is on this board.
No Child Left Behind was Kennedy's brain child and Bush supported it when he was first elected as an attempt to reach across he aisles. When it was passed and the unions didn't like the results the Dems, whose bill it was in the first place, disavowed it and blamed it on the GOP. Cowards!
I just listened to ABC's segment on Kennedy. I especially liked the part where they said hat he couldn't win the Dem nomination over Carter because he was dogged by an 11 year old scandal. I guess that's what murder is when your Kennedy.
I felt sympathy for him when he was diagnosed. Brain cancer is an awful way to go. Yet while I had sympathy for the man I have nothing but revulsion for his legacy. The rules don't apply to the Kennedys. They can break the law, they can treat with our enemies, they can grow richer off of the public largess.

Irony from heaven
August 26, 2009 - 09:24 ET by billburz
Firstly, I am sure that God has Ted Kennedy with him. Except for a few very serious screwups, he led a good life and was mostly a principled man.
I am struck however by the fact that his critical vote for, and his action on behalf of, Health Reform (Obamacide) was taken away from him before he could see a positive result.
If you believe that Kennedy is with God, as I do, then you could also postulate that God perhaps did not like the direction that Obamacide was taking.
That is the ultimate Irony.
Nonetheless RIP Ted kennedy

When Robert Kennedy ran for Sen. in a state he really did not reside in. I lived through Teddy Kennedy's special treatment for vehicular homicide. I lived through Smith/Kennedy going through a rape trial and Teddy showing support for the rapist. The sex parties in Palm Beach. Driving his first wife Joan to drinking. His sexual drunken escapades with Dodd all of which any republican would never pass scrutiny for this behavior. I lived through his vile and sometimes incoherrant ramblings against judges and presidents. I saw Teddy Kennedy us Naval ships to search for John JR's crashed plane. All of the above are examples of the privilieged disgraceful behavior of a family in constant crisis with the enabling of a willing press and senate. Now I am to morn this man for the above behavior?

Obama was to be there and the tour was due to start at 10AM from the Kennedy family compound. That would give sufficient time for the drug dealers and liquor delivery personnel to clear their vehicles from the the driveway at the compound after their daily deliveries.
Teddy was to get the Oldsmobile out of the garage, roll back the top, and start the tour at the family compound.The tour would have probably ended down at the bridge on Dike Road over on Chappaquiddick Island. YEE HAW...Buckle Up...now...Take a Deep Breath....

I would ask that everyone with the "good riddance!" mindset step outside the world of politics, and remember that this man had a family. Regardless of politics, there is a hole in that family where he once was, and that loss is a painful thing for a family to endure. They can now look forward to a Thanskgiving and Christmas without their husband/father/grandfather. Who here hasn't lost someone, and felt the sharp pain of that loss during the holidays? Not only that, but cancer is an ugly thing, which kills indiscriminately and with no regard for politics or personal worth.

Conservachef,
Actually, neither. It was just an analogy. Or as Rush would say "illustrating absurdity by being absurd".
My complaint is with the "remember that this man had a family" argument for only saying nice things about him.
So, now that he's dead, SUDDENLY his family is going to start reading what everyone is saying about their dearly departed...and they are only going to read what has been written about him SINCE his death and nothing before that.
"Remember that this man had a family" sounds nice and all, but is actually kind of meaningless. He had a family yesterday too. By that same logic, we should never say anything critical about anyone ever if they have/had a family.

I don't mean to say that we shouldn't be critical of a person's stands on topics. If I gave that impression, I was at fault. If I gave the impression that we should only say nice things about the departed, I was at fault- I merely wanted to show sympathy to a family who has lost a loved one to cancer.
What I am speaking against is this "good riddance to bad trash" attitude upon his death. He absolutely had opinions that were completely opposite of mine on many things, but that doesn't mean I will stand and cheer his death.
As Jeff Blogworthy (#64) pointed out, there are plenty of those attitudes on the left. The "they did it first/they were doing it too" argument didn't get me out of trouble in first grade, and I don't think it is fitting in this situation either.

Sucks to be a hypocrite, doesn't it?

Weird Willie:
Congratulations on learning what "faux" means. (It's French, and it's pronounced "foe").
Now work on those "unnecessary" "quotation" "marks."

Ryan Comment #15. Please don't tell me you idolized that man. Yes, he was a husband and father, but he also was a killer. Do you happen to remember that? Just because he died does not mean we have to put aside our feelings on a man who was more interested in himself and his position, and could care less about human life. I cannot in good conscience feel sorry that he died. I may go to hell for this, but at least I am honest, unlike the "Sot of the Senate".
Just my opinion

It's funny how liberals so quickly deny the only sustainable foundation for ethics and morality and then complain when others violate their sense of ethics and morality.
Must be that nuance they always bleat about.

James: colour me shocked that you would call anyone a dumb-arse for acknowledging that movement conservativism is groupthink idiocy at its very worst. Even if that person happens to be incredibly witty and well-educated, as anyone who is remotely familiar with his work would have to concede.
But no, Michelle Malkin told you he's The Enemy so you smear him with the same brush with which you would smear anyone to the left of Sean Hannity.
Choose wisely, James: the blue stupid pills stain your teeth and the red ones make you gay.

HyperBS,
No one has ever told me what to think. I must have missed that day at conservative indoctrination school.
I do take comfort in that as long as I disagree with fools like you, I can't be far off of the correct path...
You are very much like the canary in the coal mine of political ideology. It's your only useful purpose here.

And Sheik, I'm glad that you get to participate in these digital circle jerks to keep you sane until the Republicans win back the House in 2048.
I have to admit, though, that the purple teeth remark was a pretty clever repartée.
Hey Flu-Bird, you ever consider running for office in Alaska?

This is terrible. How can we say that she died for a good cause???? Did I miss something? She was probably rapped and then left to drown and die. The Kennedys are notorious for coming such crimes. Hate to say it, but it's true.
