Edward Kennedy death: President Barack Obama leads tributes

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Ted wanted what was best for the people.

He cared, but we must not forget Marry Jo.

George Vreeland Hill

[shonholmes]

Teddy boy was a drunken moron that got away with murder. They theought he was retarded when he was younger..hes always been a privledged Kennedy...he got his nephew a burial at sea off a US war ship...a nephew that never served in any branch.......his mom was a living fossil...his sister Enos was so old , she was a waitress at the last supper.

[fhood]

People constantly bring up Kennedy's drunk-driving accident. Did you know that Laura Bush killed a classmate in 1963 when she ran a stop sign? No one ever talks about that! But of course, Democrats WOULDN'T talk about something like that. We are above that, and we leave the mud-slinging to the fringe tea-baggers as they flounder for a lost political identity.

[SmithAndrew1985]

@ASentinel2 I am sorry that he is dead even though he just made minor mistakes. I say that he made minor mistakes so it will get people to stop writing nasty comments about him

[ASentinel2]

@SmithAndrew1985 yea guess you're right...killing Mary Jo Kopechne was only "a minor mistake"....

Piss on Kennedy....and you.

[SmithAndrew1985]

@ASentinel2 Why did you say piss on Kennedy

[ASentinel2]

Dead guy in a box-LOL

Good, all Kennedy's should be dead by now!!

I hope they handcuffed this drunkard killer in his coffin for killing that girl in his car, and put a tournequet on his bag of piss.

Rest In Piss Kennedy !!

LOL

[tdalysinger]

go obama! I respect the opinion of other's, but out of personal preference, great president.

[forjeezz]

RIP Teddy, healthcare reform soon! go obama!

[RickAHyatt]

Long hail the King!

Thank God the Socialist Bastard's DEAD!

[stephpeteable]

Did you know that a famous prophet in Africa called TB Joshua prophesied about the Kennedy's death in 4 live services on Emmanuel TV - he even talked about the flag that covered the coffin and rain falling on the flag. Search Kennedy's passing prophesied by TB Joshua on youtube to watch exactly what he said.

[carmenaudrey]

barack obama will be dead too

[snoops71]

So will you.

[bradcdm]

This guy would not be Prez if it were not be for Teddy. He is the darling lefts bitch that is why he will be the first President to fall below 50% approvall rating in his first year. HE IT AT 50% NOW!

[lanuiiohu]

Ted dead asshole *__*

[lnngrffn1]

ding dong the witch is dead piece of crap drunk asshole who got away with manslaughterj

[raiderintacoma]

To bad Mary Jo wasn't around to hear your love speech for the murderer....

[snoops71]

You don't give a damn about that girl. She's become a scapegoat for people like you.

[RickAHyatt]

How come the Michael Jackson death is now not only a politically engineered homicide to vaunt National Health Care, but now so is Sen. Kennedy's death? (Yeah, just an accident, right?)

[wrjamescom]

Kennedy was a skirt chasing womanizing molesting drunken murderer. Mary Jo willing ran with the Kennedy clan knowing they were all like that. She was apparently screwing around with a married scum bag. So let's be honest about it. He character is obviously questionable. But that's no reason to excuse the actions of the scum who murdered her.

[forjeezz]

RIP Teddy, the torch is in good hands with Obama. Thank you again.

[theotherbounce]

i hope he likes doing these tributes because after he shoves this healthcare plan down our throats he should b doing quite a lot of them.

[playboy414]

sounds like somebody prefers their information fed to them from corporations...stop watching tv and listening to parents...do some independent research on the topic, type up a paper stating your grounds and turn it into some local colleges, prolly going have to pay somebody to look at it, and then find out that you are a dumbass

[OvEcHkInG2831]

R.I.P. Ted

[JJJadm]

Descansa en paz mi querido senador Ted

[ASentinel2]

Obama is getting ready to kill thousands in the name of Ted Kennedy when he forces his health care plan..

Liberals pose as helpers of the poor and less advantaged, but actually they prey upon them because they are least able to protect themselves and least able to see the wolf coming in sheep's clothing.

This makes them like so many buzzards, swarming around America, and waiting for some group to become easy prey...

Die Kennedy and take Obama with you..

[jjmock]

I would suggest you consider the positives and negatives of claiming the moral high ground by calling others people murderers, and then calling for the death of those people.

It's clear that you want to better the situation for poor and less advantaged folks, but the statements you make worry me a bit. Specifically, you seem to be demonizing a whole lot of folks. Some of the poor and less advantaged are liberals and some liberal activists you might support: i.e. Martin Luther King Jr.

[tnfellow]

one of the first things Obama has done was to fund world wide abortion,,,,, Ted Kennedy did what to Mary Jo Kopechne,,

[zatikweq]

I LIKE ABORTION BUT FOR THE NIGGER

[johnnyboypdq]

THis Fraud is no better than the late durnkard Ted Kennedy.

Compare other to these two A-holes and it's a you will win over and over, both Ted and Obama, they were and are FRAUDS!

A better discription is Hipocrites!!!

[thikabouit]

Yes an He acomplished more in one day in the senate as a senator,than you will in you're whole retarded life!!!LOL

[AriesLudzik]

Ted Kennedy ? What a joke !

That guy was a bully his whole life. He destroyed the lives and careers of many good people, including Robert Bork. He drowned a woman, Mary Jo Kopechne. He was kicked out of university for cheating on an exam. He was a drunk. Role model ?  Puh-leeeze ! I hope he's held to account for his life's many crimes.

The Butcher of Chappaquiddick is finally dead and the planet is infinitely better off without him. Good riddance.

[thikabouit]

Yes an let He who is free of all sin throw the first stone!!

[AriesLudzik]

Haha, at least I never killed anyone,...unlike Teddy

[162berto]

If you supported or voted for a republican in 02 or 04 than you have a hand in the deaths of 3,000 Americans on 9/11 and 5,000 dead American heros in Iraq, ASSHOLE!!!

Oh wait you're a fucking Canuck! So go fuck your hockey buddy and then suck the maple syrup off his ice cold shriveled Canuck cock!!!

[lanuiiohu]

Dem lost Vietnam War haha,,,,,,

[ssredfoxx]

Agreed. However, did you know Mary Jo had no water in her lungs. She climbed into the back seat where the air was and eventually suffocated. He ran away, then comes out w/ the neckbrace.

Truely sickening this pos.

[zstuart3]

Racism has nothing to do with the issue, so don't try that smoke screen. The DEMOCRATS opposed the Civil Rights Act. Go read the Congressional Record or call Robert Byrd!

[junesecond1993]

You guys are all ignorant. Limbaugh is a fool. Hey xj2yzz we capitalize names in our language.

[xj2yzz]

not me,sorry.i love limbaugh.

[tgill328]

amerikas biggest liar... transparency ha more like cover up tint my windows

[charlitunaman2002]

Hi, I'm barack obama, and I'm a dumbass

[xj2yzz]

I know.

[charlitunaman2002]

Shut up Barack, I'll bet you wouldn't be sayin a damn thig if your daughter was Mary Jo Kopechne. He didn't do a damn thing to save her. In fact, He didn't do a damn thing. Stupid idiot rode to political fame on his brother's coattails. He was a drunkard and a glutton who paid the price of his lifestyle. Try to rest in peace Teddy. As for you Barack, STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY!!!!!!!!! IDIOT

[xj2yzz]

yea you tell him.

[sugardeuce]

blogger you are truly a brainwashed sheep, I bet you think the fraud Obama is doing a great job as well. Go get educated please.

[xj2yzz]

44% approval rating.

[sugardeuce]

The rumer in DC is that Ted Kennedy and Barney Frank used to have gay sex with each other as well as young boys that worked for them. Thats what I heard. I know people who work on the hill.

[xj2yzz]

I heard that too,my friend claims to have pictures.

[sugardeuce]

Ted Kennedy is a fucking murderer, a drunk and got into office with no experience at all. Do you all remember when he killed Mary joe years ago and got away with it because of his name?Why are we celebrating the life a man who killed that young girl, who left her in the river to die? he should have died in jail.

[radstorm]

R.I.P. Mr Kennedy

[MrLarrylegend]

bloggerfl5486. The way you described me is the description for Obama. You don't seem to be one who should say what a Christian should be doing or not e doing. I get your subtle way of trying to say that it is Gods way to "spread the wealth" You are a typical ignorant liberal who I won't even email back because your so far off, Good luck and hope you realize how bad barack has put us farther in debt than any president in history and he hasn't been in a year!!

[AfreeQueen]

First of all, if Bush hadn't mucked up the economy with the Iraq war (we didn't have to go there... Saddam was no threat to us... Bush took his eyes off the ball *catching Bin Laden and hanging HIM instead*). It took that idiot 8 years to screw everything up. Yet, you're blaming Obama for 7 months of what? All of the stimulus hasn't even been spent yet. everything you conservatives are afraid about hasn't even happened. Fear-mongering is unreasonable.

[MrLarrylegend]

Okay, I can go with that iluvjc88. You seem to be a voice of reason.

[iluvjc88]

I am sick and tired of all this hate!! This is trying to tear our country apart!! The idea is to work together on what we can, to look at points where we can agree! Obama isn't the devil, and neither is Bush. Ted Kennedy either! You don't like Teddy's politics, fine, but as a human being, show him and his family the respect you would want for you and yours at a time of mourning!

[iluvjc88]

To all of you with your hateful comments... Not even Rush Limbaugh would say such hateful things about someone who just passed away. Robert Byrd was in tears when he heard about Kennedy having cancer. Ted Kennedy was a good person, and did a lot of good for all. He was liked and admired by many in both parties. If you have this much hate for someone you never actually met, someone who has died, you need Jesus in your life!!

[deritpeehs]

guess "ted" is joining john and robert in fighting the Godless camp david mafia devil military and the communistic old "cia". they are still here somewhere thanks to God though, real work, and the plan that fits the real schedule.

[deritpeehs]

senator kennedy may have "died" but is still here. he was one of the smartest "kennedys" and the unfortunate target of a Godless mafia-related mess that should not really have happened and was related to the devil military events at "camp david".

[Me2toobie]

"The hope rises again, and the 'dream' . . . lives on" - Teddy Kennedy.

Allow me to translate: The 'hope' to live off the backs of the productive as they keep their liberal voting constituency dependent (or complicit) and rule over us all . . . control them and re-distribute their wealth.

That's their 'dream' . . . an easy lazy livelihood as the rulers and over seers. Con game. Been going on too long.

[xj2yzz]

I call teddy,murderer communist and homo lover.

[bloggerfl5486]

What an intelligent statement from xj2yzz, this person must have a 4th grade education from Texas. One, BUSH is the Abomination Murderer for invading IRAQ which claimed 4000 Innocent American Lives for OIL, Two, BUSH is the Communist Nazi by allowing America to participate with free trade business with Communist China, Three, republicans are the Fags now a days look at Larry Craig, Mark Foley, and Glenn Beck they all take cock in the ass which is where you need to take your republican party!

[vanzakram1969]

Fuck the Kennedy's! and Michael Jackson!

[iluvjc88]

You need Christ in your life. You shouldn't have such hate for people you never personally knew!! Have you no respect for your fellow man? They were loved by many of us. How would you feel if someone said that about your loved one who had just passed?

[beyondalohas]

alot is being left out and those who grew up on NO education by the left,here is a short lesson in the past!TED was on front page news when younger,for being a COWARD & got away with "MAN SLAUGHTER".JFK was NOT a liberal but a WAR HERO. the father was a BOOT-LEGGER.Ted was known as a spoiled brat, who thought of the average person as illiterate.NOT ONE THING WAS GOOD,that he accomplished!was an embarassment,arrogant drunk,acted like a child! Bobby had gutts to stand up to orginized crime.

[CuriousMickey]

^For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die.^ -- Sen. Edward M. Kennedy

[mrca360]

R.I.P uncle Teddy!!!

[thatchapsaquitted]

in his honor, would someone please sponsor term limits bill!

[jackass255]

Sure thats what we need .....

"Term Limits"

That's exactly what i want SOME ROOKIE making choices

[xj2yzz]

especially for robert kkk byrd.

[weehiggie]

fuk the kennedy's

[fartbarn]

Well suck my JFK

[sheida78]

He could of release a comment on Michael Jackson passing..... I'd always defended Obama... but just like he's speaking on Ted Kennedy's death, he could have spoke about Michael's death.... Just sending a letter to the Jackson family is not enough.... He could of acknowledge Michael's death without someone having to ask him for comments on Jackson's death...... If Stevie Wonder was to die Obama probably would release a statement without nobody asking him....

[LaughOutLoudYT]

ya he should of spoke about MJ, but Teddy Kennedy was part of the kennedy family which is a huge thing in the democrat party. And he owes Kennedy alot too. He indorsed him during the primaries.

[MrLarrylegend]

Yea, Yea liberals never really wanna keep it real as the saying from the hood goes

[forjeezz]

Thank you teddy...May you RIP knowing that the torch is in good hands with obama. This generation and the next will always be proud of you regarding your accomplishments.THANK YOU AGAIN.

[MrLarrylegend]

Yea, Obama is doing such a stellar job so far LOL He has ended the war, helped the deficit, reformed health care and made everyone happy, encouraged christians by embracing abortion and gay rights, said America is not a christian nation ec ect ect He is doing a GREAT job!! Your an idiot forjeez!!

[beyondalohas]

Haaaaaaa.... great statement and all truth

[MrLarrylegend]

Of course when Dick Cheney has an "accident" it isn't an accident. Teddy got away with it cause he is a wicked liberal with no morals!!

[MrLarrylegend]

Obama's believe its okay for men to screw men and women to sleep w/ women. They also thinks its okay for unborn babies to be killed because a women doesn't want it. Oh and they go to church, for what? And they DID cancel National Day of Prayer in the White House. Get Your head out of the sand.

[MrLarrylegend]

Obama said his thots and "prayers" are with the family, Funny, Obama canceled national day of prayer at the white house!!

Hypocrite

[matno1949]

You are a liar. The Obama's attend church every week, and the Senate and the House all open each day with prayer. Where do you get your mis information?

[eclvvin]

your comment only make obvious that you have no understanding of the separation of church and state.

How ignorant do your media, religious, and political leaders keep you that you don't know something that is foundational to being an American?

The baptists of Virginia were actually the one's who engaged Jefferson with the concern for the separation. They did not want the undo influence of another church that had more members.

What kind of church would keep you ignorant of this?

[nidal38]

How much does someone want to bet that when Obama goes about leading the "farewell" he turns it into some political ploy to pass obamacare.

[jphann]

Well, considering that healthcare reform was one of Teddy's biggest causes I think it would be appropriate for the President to use this time to push for passage of such legislation.

[nidal38]

If he actually meant it in a "Kennedy tribute".... which he won't... Chicago politics

[MrLarrylegend]

He's an opportunist thats for sure

[bloggerfl5486]

Senator Ted Kennedy, is a great American hero who will sorely be missed. Ted created such great bills as Cobra Benefits, Minimum Wage Raises, Medicare Prescription Drug benefits for Seniors, and fought for Universal Health Care and Spoke out against that Demonic Beast Liar BUSH Scumbag on Iraq. Senator Ted Kennedy represents Great Democratic Politicians who fought for mainstream working people and the poor and will go down in history as a hero. We need 60 democrats like him in the senate!

[abqguy69]

The sheer meanness of the right in this country never ceases to amaze me. It is no wonder the right was defeated so soundly in last year's election.

[coralprincess25]

Teddy interrupted The Oman's vacation. He wanted to be invisible for a week and now wants to be seen. Sheesh!

[Slyrr7]

The libs are acting like the con men in "Weekend at Bernie's", who used the dead body of a rich guy to take a free vacation using the dead guy's money and mansions.

Liberal media practically have Kennedy's still-warm corpse propped up in their guest chairs with puppet strings all over him with wires rigged in his jaws and mouth to make him 'speak' about how his voice from beyond the grave is demanding Communist medical.

It's like watching a bad ventriloquist act.

[bloggerfl5486]

It's CON scum like (Slyrr7) who represent a small minority of Low Lives. These CONs still believe to this day that there was WMD in IRAQ because their Aryan Nazi Hero Bush said so, but Senator Kennedy was not fooled by the Lies of the Beast and Spoke out Against this Vicious Whore Bush! Fuck you Slyrr7 you can take conservatism and shove it up your asshole where you like it!

RIP Senator Kennedy, you'll be missed!

[MrLarrylegend]

He won't rest in peace, he is a murderer!!!

[eclvvin]

No, he had an accident.

You are bearing false witness against another, so you must not be Christian.

He was acquitted of even manslaughter as the matter was ruled an accident. You know those things do happen. Sometimes people do hit their heads and have trouble responding as they would normally.

You must have no sense of who Christ was and be completely uninterested in using the Bible for anything other than moralizing when it suites you. Christ was no one who would behave as you just have.

[MrLarrylegend]

Teddy thot it was okay for a women to stick a needle in an unborn babies head and suck its brains out as a means for birth control. He ios a murderer. God despises that pious lunatic

[greenbunny6]

Mmm. Baby brains. Good with ketchup.

[bloggerfl5486]

MrLarrylegend is the textbook Bush Republican who has ruined America. These CONs are barbaric, vicious, low-life people, who are out of touch with mainstream America. I bet this low-life person claims to be a born-again christian, yet lays a false foul tongue of hatred towards Senator Kennedy. This christian man wants the poor to suffer and the uninsured sick to die because this scumbag supports an ideology of extreme hate, wealth, greed, and oil!

Go to hell MrLarryLegend, you'll fit right in!

[xj2yzz]

Bush did not ruin america he caught the terrorist saddam hussain who was part of the 911 attacks fool,saddam financed the attacks of osama bin ladin fool,while Bush was doing that ted and barney were having gay sex.

[jackass255]

So the money trail stops at Saddam ?? So Saddam generates his own money ? I doubt it. So where does it stop ? In North Korea, Iran ?

If you justify attacking Saddam because Bin Laden got money from saddam why cant you justify attacking the people SADDAM got money for.....

Your logic has no logic

[bloggerfl5486]

xj2yzz is a true Ignorant Uneducated Republican Asshole, people like this are Embarrassing and Very Dangerous in American Society!

This person actually stated that Saddam Caused and Financed the 9-11 attacks, is this asshole for real? WRONG, That Scumbag OBL and Al Queda located in Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia caused the 9-11 attacks NOT IRAQ, NOT SADAAM! We should have gone after Saudi Arabia for Attacking Us on 9-11! You Fucking Idiot, That Scumbag BUSH invaded IRAQ for OIL and NOTHING ELSE!

[xj2yzz]

Am an educated conservative and rush limbaugh is my teacher.

[6enlighten9]

that is a fucking joke. i am a educated conservative and rush (uneducated) is just a propagandist

[xj2yzz]

rush is the leader of the GOP not michael steele.michael is just a token and rush is the man.

[AfreeQueen]

I'm sorry to hear about that.

[zstuart3]

He was NOT acquitted of anything because he was never charged. Several of the Edgartown police talked about the money paid out many years later - unfortunately after the statute of limitations. While a master self-serving politician, he was a despicable human being that let that let another drown. As for your sanctimonious whining, being a Christian doesn't give license to be an abject fool!

[eclvvin]

Sanctimonious!

Who is the one who thinks they know the mind of god.

Who is the one casting the first stone.

Who is the person who is bearing false testimony.

You have no evidence, just rumor. What you deserve is the same done to you. However, since the whole WMD ws not enough to have you reconsider your dangerous unfounded assumptions, there is little hope logic will.

[UncleMilo]

Why didn't your parents raise you well, little child?

[culchie22]

rip ted. from all in ireland

[NOMADdaf]

The world is a better place with the clan dieing off!They where evil and their fortune ill gotten. Nothing more than trashy hill billies that think they are elite and should play a role in running a socialist America.

[Ullygirldk]

R.I.P

[susanwhitley1981]

rest in peace ted kennedy. thanks for being a champion of the least fortunate. he was truely the 'lion of the senate'.

[espunde]

I don't rejoice in the death of Ted Kennedy, but I sure don't miss him, his was a life spent in dissipation and aggrandisement, and the pursuit of idiotic and evil policies, he will not be missed by those who love life and liberty. Rest in peace if you can Ted.

[UncleMilo]

Yes... helping those out in need is evil and against life an liberty. Espunde, you are an embarrassment.

[espunde]

'Helping out' those in need from one's own pocket is admirable and good, doing it from the government purse is for one purpose only, to buy votes and enslave people to government handouts. No, his policies were evil and unconstitutional, including his stance on abortion. Goodbye.

[eclvvin]

Thanks for coming out and reminding us why Republicans in Congress have a 29% approval rating.

the 30% that still believe that Bush was a good president, seem to be under the delusion that what they think is anything that most of us are interested in.

[espunde]

I'm a *classical* liberal *republican* (classical as in the 19th century context, and 'republican' as the form of government I prefer, I am not a 'Republican", as in the party), or in other words a Libertarian, so no, don't bring up Bush, I didn't like him either, or McCain. I love it how left-democratic-socialists assume that if you disagree with the Democratic Party you are a Republican zombie.

[jackass255]

So when republicans rebuilt Iraq with tax payers money what was that ?

[xj2yzz]

a good investment.

[backlighting]

Unfortunately, the damage that this pretentious mediocrity committed during his senate career will long remain with us.

And now the left wants to enshrine Kennedy's career as a shining example of Senatorial conduct. Ironically, he was. And THAT is the real tragedy.

[dannycit]

Rest in peace old friend

[TheSpongeGuy]

Ted Kennedy, 1932-2009. RIP, The Greatest Senator of all time. ... Obama RULES!

[ussperry]

Sponge Guy - Screw the Kennedys - every one one them.

[TheSpongeGuy]

Hey, your entiled to your own opinion , I frankly don't give a damn about what you say.

[NOMADdaf]

Tard!

[TheSpongeGuy]

Why should I care about what you think of me? haha dumbass!lol

[NOMADdaf]

you must.... you responded needlessly!?!

[bxrider43]

his sis jean is the last one left

[bxrider43]

its sad that he died but at least he can see his siblings in heaven if he goes to heaven r.i.p

[clarebannerman]

A true friend of Ireland. Rest In Peace Ted ~~ M

[MaHaRushie]

I wish Ted the best, but I will also say the world is a worse place because of him.

He has held himself up as a devout Catholic and has given the world a false impression of what it means to be Catholic. For that I will never forgive him.

[uFlubber]

Rest in Piss, Ted!

[Gaillaw]

He is a great example to all. No matter how ugly the deeds of our past, we can consecrate our future to accomplishing good. So be it.

[basejumpin1]

coldwacker you are a true republican, not oly are you a biggot but a dick head and an ignorant fuck. so you will join them in the same place right? bring your sheet too. you know the one with holes in it.

[MrLarrylegend]

I thot the hole was in yo mama!!

[Thecoldwaterfall]

Thank god he's DEAD!!

Nobamas going to the same place

[lookinforsexymen2008]

and if the president dies, i hope riots and chaos descends on your house, i hope there's a firing squad waiting outside so when you show your face you can be gunned down on national and international news, you're assassination will be witnessed around the world.

[UncleMilo]

It certainly won't be the place George W. is going... seeing how Bush has the blood of US soldiers on his criminal hands... exploiting 9/11 to justify an illegal war against a nation that had nothing to do with those attacks... the ruin of this nation is at the hands of Republicans and fools like you who support them.

[MrLarrylegend]

You obviously are ignorant about what your coon is doing in the whitehouse the last 8 months

[matno1949]

Is this what you learned from your parents? To make disparaging remarks about the President of the United States? Move if you don't like the fact that all men are created equal, and every citizen in this country has the opportunity to become President

[matno1949]

AMEN

[ThuTroothHurtz]

Yo man remember that white bitch he killed in his car? Now he payin his price yo. every man got his day know what I sayin. He was like a typical old white man stealin money from all them people tryin to survive and killin people with his car but I guess at least he out of the way so Obama can put someone esle in there that will represent. OBAMA. YES WE CAN !!!

[TheAnnexGal]

"After accidentally driving his car off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island, resulting in the drowning death of Mary Jo Kopechne, he was convicted of leaving the scene of an accident (18 July 1969)."

I'm sure she doesn't deserve to be called a "white bitch."

Plus, her drowning occurred 40 years ago, so he was hardly getting his {immediate) comeuppance.

[angelsgurl]

He was 77 years old. It was his time. You don't know what truly happened.

RIP Kennedy

[crookeblowin]

r.i.p ted
