Kennedy: A Flawed Hero

[kg02170]

My god,am i really viewing these comments.This is absolutely ridiculous,he was a great man a true champion in his field,you people should be completely ashamed and keep your small,small narrow minded opinions for the birds.The man was human, YES,human,and being so comes all the mistakes,the highs the lows,good with bad etc but of course all you perfectionists fail to grasp this or mind you, are too stupid to do so,so i ask pls think just think before speaking....BIGOTS

[lauralee19]

sl0wm0..You have got to kidding and fishing for a response, or at least I hope so! I have never had a car accident that killed someone and I have never abused anyone! I suffered the abuse of a husband for most of 20 yrs all the while I was living on a farm in the middle of no where and raising three little girls, while there father worked nights a spent most of his off time at the bar, how dare you assume I have no right to an opinion about a man who abused his position for power and greed

[lauralee19]

The only Rocks' in the Kennedy Clan were the woman! The legacy that his father set was the cause of much pain and illegal behavior. May he rest in peace, but I for one am glad he is finally going to account to the God of justice! Pray for his soul!

[sl0wm0]

oh, so you're saying you've never had a car accident or never EVER abused women before mr. perfection? grow up

[dirtyoldman54]

What a bunch of Beck wingnuts in here.lol

[unfukkinbalievable]

Hero?  HERO?!? WTF are you saying? Not Edward the Terrible? He was no hero, 'cept to maybe his dogs, to whom it is purported that he doted over.

This man had a black heart, as the repeated evidence shows us. Quit writing all that rubbish and fantasy: Edward Kennedy was purely and simply a selfish, hateful coward, who preyed upon innocent women.

[unfukkinbalievable]

His legacy will simply be his criminal filth, and sexual degeneracy, just like Skaekel his nephew who bludgeoned that sixteen year-old to death with a three-iron out in the garden one night. And just like his other nephew William Smith, charged with rape down in Florida.

[unfukkinbalievable]

Make a statement.. Surely you were paying attention when he was caught down at the Kennedy Mansion at Palm Beach, FL chasing girls in just his pajama top, along with his nephew William Smith who later was charged with rape there. Now, that was YEARS after the Chappaquiddick incident which you would have expected would have hammered sense into his thick Irish skull. But that later event should have proven to all, that this man was a deviant, unremorseful, serial abuser of women.

[unfukkinbalievable]

To "legacy408" I respond:

Your posting reads like you just stumbled out of some sleazy Irish bar in Boston. I'll bet if you had posted a video, we would hear burping and farting as well as your slurred speech. Your fixation with "shit" is Freudian.

[unfukkinbalievable]

The Kennedys are Catholics aren't they? The center of all the Catholic pediphile filth and rot is in Massachusetts. I am convinced that all the priests, bishops, archbishops, cardinals, monks, padres, fathers, whatever else they call them

selves, have thoroughly contaminated the bulk of the citizens of that state. The people are BRAINWASHED to not only tolerate human deviancy, they actually think it as the normal.

[dirtyoldman54]

I was not there at the time.Where you?Bush killed alot more people then that.

[beauzackosta]

Bush hasn't killed anywhere near as many as JF Kennedy, Johnson, and Roosevelt........ dems are the biggest war-mongers of them all!

[bobisbear]

he did so much and im glad we had him for half a century as our senator. love you teddy

[Freethought42]

RIP Mary Jo Kopechne

[legacy408]

naw this video just shows how most you are haters arm chair fools with no sense to quit wasing this mans dirty draws and start washing your own you fools live eat and breathe shit I bet all you fools breath stink like shit buch a fucken coward pussy sisy fied Americans commenting a man down after his death ask yourselves one question what did you do besides eat shit for breakfast!!

[wiz9496]

learn how to spell, idiot. fite alidersy!

[TrueBloodTypeA]

When the government created HMOs it was supposed to drive down insurance rates. All it did was drive out other options and force people in those areas into HMOs.

HMOs rewarded doctors for withholding care.

Obama mentioned withholding care in his speech.

We have been down this road before, heard all of the same exact words before, and it ended with People Dying because of Waits and Withheld Care!!!

[TrueBloodTypeA]

The modern American health-care bureaucracy, with its crisis of HMOs, PPOs, and tangled intersections of the public and the private, has its origins in Kennedy's legislative imagination. In a 2001 presentation, Senator Kennedy denounced HMOs as condemning unfortunates "to second-rate care from the doctor who happens to be on the plan's list." Unmentioned was the fact that the modern HMO regime was brought into existence by Senator Kennedy, who shaped the 1973 legislation that created it.

[slikkwon]

flawed yes.

hero no.

[18remcar]

good video, the truth hurts

[kg02170]

Yes you heard me,he was a great man,ppl like you guys have problems ie wanna shoot him?????Give this family a break do you not think they deserve one????R.I.P Ted Kennedy, a true legend, a great patriot, human

[dirtyoldman54]

Judge not least ye be judged,wingnuts!!!

[mrbriscoe2001]

dirtyoldman54 Usually,the statement about not judging is correct;but 99% of the people in America wouldn't leave a woman to die in a car.Murder is always judged; except in Massachusetts,where the Kennedys controlled the judiciary.

[kg02170]

Flawed??????omfg,a truly great man

may he rest in peace

[mrbriscoe2001]

kg02170 I'm sorry;he WASN'T  flawed,in your opinion?

[kg02170]

Flawed,yes indeed he was as are you,as am i,we are all flawed that is what being human involves making mistakes and recovering,open your small mind and you hve no right to judge as you were NOT there

[mrbriscoe2001]

kg02170 :Maybe if Kennedy had paid a REAL PRICE,people would be more sympathetic;if he had resigned his Senate seat,or gone to jail for a while.for instance; instead,he gave a manipulative,self serving "checkers' speech,;it's NOT the sign of a small mind that people expect the Rich and Powerful to be as accountable as everyone else;this country started as a revolution against a monarchy,and special rules for powerful families ,well,just feels un -American.

[panthersno15]

truly great? well why don't you look into Chappaquiddick and see how great he was that night. Or maybe when he voted not to ban, (partial birth) these children would be developed with features when they are aborted, abortions in 1999, or maybe you could ask what he was on his way to do with Mary Jo Kopechne,but she died at the bottom of a pond in Kennedy's oldsmobile

[kg02170]

Again i feel i must reply,were you there that night do you know exactly what happened,can you alone sentence him,i disagree, you cannot there except the fact people as human make mistakes if you are not flawed i am the pope

A True Patriot,A Legend

[exweez]

will thet please put this fat,drunken,murdering,sexual predeter on the ground all ready

[StinkingHombre]

A chicken in every pot and a blond in every pond! We're going to miss the fat drunk immeasurably! Moment of silence for the hero of Chappaquiddick please! ~ Thank You! See Yaa Teddy!

[sullytrny]

rot in hell djd

[christmas254]

A KENNEDY Senate bill would offer President Obama emergency control of the Internet and may give him a "kill switch" to shut down online traffic by seizing private networks -- a move cybersecurity experts worry will choke off industry and civil liberties.

[chessgame1960]

Wersc21-- "them self's, they're, cant". Where did you pick up your grammar slick? First, although them and self's are words the way you used them does not mean what you meant to convey. The word to use is themselves. Second, they're means they are and the correct word to use is their. Third, cant is spelled cant with an apostrophe. There are more errors but we will leave it at that. Before judging another's motivations don't leave yourself open to being perceived as foolish chief.

TRUTH

[legacy408]

so the man made mistakes are we not human shit I bet most of you who talk out your asses about this man have demons in their closets who are we to judge anyone but ourselfs, the man clearly made mistakes and since his family was well known he stood out because of the media you know what most fail to see about this man the second part of his life makeing up for the first part and he did that by helping those less fortunate, if I messed up I would want to make ammends to to go to my maker right!

[panthersno15]

Talking about God, I wonder what he will think of Kennedy, he supported the killing of his greatest creation, human, partially born babies at that, and he had a hand in a woman's death, hmm?

[jsheehan100]

Ed Klein, isn't this the guy that said Ted Kennedy loved to hear new Chappaquiddick jokes? This put Teddy on the floor, sickening. Couldn;t pull the girl out of the car with you Teddy??

[jsheehan100]

ok, that's enough, now we got live coverage of this senator killer. Would you really call this guy great??? This is quite overblown. This guy deserves a partial front page for day one and page three for the funeral at best.

[Maje9]

taxes are goin up in hell!!

[wersc21]

I hope all you Bush lovers who love war so much meet him in hell.

[wersc21]

Oh look Republicans making asses of them self's Again....Must really suck being a Republican always angry & cant come out of the the closet like most of they're politicians are....G.O.P.=Grumpy old people.LOL

[annielwhite]

DEAN KENNEDY!!!!!!!! its better this way.

[exweez]

"drunk,fat and stupid is no way to go through life"dean wormer

[urbanprophet777]

where is the heroic doings?i can see no hero here,if you can,ok

Martin l.king and John f.kennedy is other story,peace

[urbanprophet777]

what makes a him hero?This is stupid,a hereo need to to do some thing heroic to be A hero.Something a hero only can do.This is just a poltican,no hero.Closest you come to hero in poltics in USA is JFK AND MLK.

[ralphdjeeper]

He has been a ass, all of his life,now he's gone,no loss to the United States.

[ihavtugo]

The real heroes are the men that give their life's for the United States in the Military. Even tough JFK and MLK were great men that did so much they are not close to the people that serve for our country everyday.

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

JFK was the rock, Ted was a worthless murdering drunk.

Where as JFK warned the nation of people like Teddy, he then was killed. Then Teddy came out and has pushed for communism in America ever since.

For his punishment he was given a brain rotting cancer. As should all those that want any form of socialism in the USA.

[spliffsperlunk]

Its sad that some politicians have to die in order to get them out of office , I wonder if Nancy pelosi will be the same.

[spliffsperlunk]

Both Republicans and Democrats are idiots not because they trash Ted Kennedy or Ronald Reagan after they die but because they work hard together to ruin this country , they take turns running it into the ground.

[wersc21]

Republican's make me sick Trashing Teddy Kennedy. I don't remember them saying anything about Laura Bush Killing some one with her car, Or GW Bush going to war & killing millions of people thats okay i guess. But big bad Teddy was Evil.Dumb asses !!!!!

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

LOL you get that from snopes?

Silly kids, give them a computer and internet and they hang out on snopes(,)com for their news and information.

[mackfrogalot]

Was she drunk when she did this or did she go home and sleep off the drunk, NO!!!!! I hope they put him in face down so he see where he is going!!!!!!! And also millions have not died under Bush.

[flunkyjo]

Yes, wersc21, it was millions and millions of people. And NONE of them were terrorists or whatever the current administration is willing to call them. Probably hereoes.

[aeae1111y]

العور في ديرة العميان مفتح

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

Partially-sighted people in Deira blind clearer

WHAT?

[dirtyoldman54]

He was my hero.He helped more people then he hurt.We all sinners.But Iam a pro.lol

[flunkyjo]

No, dirtyoldman54, he did not help more people than he hurt.

And yes, we are all sinners, but if we don't repent we should not be glorified.

[jericho1960]

Ted Kennedy wasn't the rock of the family, he was the sponge (as in "He soaked up booze like a sponge").

Good riddance to a homicidal alcoholic.

[underground24020]

Teddy was infamous for getting wasted in a bar...taking a disgusting booze filled sh$t in the bathroom and returning to the bar only to stuff his unwashed hand into the complimentary bowl of peanuts on the bar...what a pig

[mrbriscoe2001]

I'm from his state;NEVER voted for him;disagreed with just about everything he did;but after he got married the last time,he DID settle down and become less if an embarrassment.Gee,I guess that's not a ringing endorsement,is it?

[spokeshole]

mrbriscoe2001-------You're from Mass.

How does Barney Frank keep getting

re-elected?

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

He don't, Barney Frank controls the elections through ACORN and SEIU.

[BuffyLakota]

No more glorification of this man who left a young woman to drown in his drunken stupor. Enough about his fighting for his passions...so what. The man had no moral fiber and should not be given another word of praise. Yes, I can understand how his family may mourn his passing, but this deification of a self-indulgent and decadent man is totally out of line. Enough, and Nancy Pelosi's pathetic attempt to push again for passage of a bill in his memory is as bad as he was.

[underground24020]

This bloated, whiskey faced, green toothed drunkard sandwhiched a waitress between himself and Chris Dodd during a bender?  How would you like to be the meat in that shit sandwhich?....poor woman

[spokeshole]

NOW WILL THE VOTERS OF MASS.

get RID OF BARNEY FRANK and restore

their state to sanity!

As for KENNEDY, kharma will come about

at last.

[NocternalRevenue]

Some nice leg action here.

[MeLikeGoFast]

Kicked out of Harvard.

Possibly murdered a woman.

Created HMO's.

Its sad when anyone dies but this guy...not so much.

[mssedmebich]

The Rock? I think they are confusing that with "On The Rocks!" like most of the things he was drinking.

[bakorexer]

American Human Failure.....

[endo1ver]

Kenedy was not flawed, he was a coward, and a drunk who the people of Mass.  could not let go of. I hope Mary Jo was waiting for him when he died and greeted him before he went to Hell.

[ebonyitz]

a drunken cowardly pig. who cares

[StinkingHombre]

I'm really going to miss that fat assed drunken bastard! RIP!

[sullytrny]

A drunk and maybe guilty of manslaughter. And a cheat at Harvard!

suckers :)
