  • Well I was told to bring kleenex. I didn't. I should did.

  • Wonder if they'll get him next? He better not run for office

  • you are most certainly an irish man you never stop talking! thats what we do we keep going always and never give up

  • love the comment that "he was an irishman"

  • I would pay to watch Robert Bork piss on his grave .

  • @jbjumpback We all know your just a dirt bag for saying that I should and would slap

    you hard boy

  • GREAT SPEECH, THE KENNEDYS HAVE TOUCHED MANY

    A GREAT FAMILY

  • 04:31 "I know you can do it. There's nothing that you can't do. We're gonna climb that hill together. Even if it takes us all day..."

    Such a wonderful words. I almost cried :'(

  • @ConservativeInk That same treasonous bastard was able to do something not many politicians are able to do in a balkanized Congress: he could make a DEAL. Quite frankly right now I would get down on my knees and thank God if any politician, Rep. or Dem, could just shut up for five minutes, cast aside ideological tantrums, and make a decision. I miss Teddy Kennedy. He may have been a drunk, he may have been an ass as a young man, but at least he could compromise.

  • @shadowkitty56 There is NO virtue in compromise when the compromise led to more destruction of this Constitutional Republic. I will never forget when the son of a bitch went to the Soviet Union and tried to undermine an elected President of the United States. What was there to compromise with our enemies? Ted Kennedy was and still is a fucking drunk, philanderling loser. He is also a murderer as far as I am concerned. He trashed his family and his country. Good riddance to the son of a bitch.

  • @ConservativeInk

    Ahhh, and I see that this is any better than when Larry Craig, a Republican politician with a record on anti-gay legislation, got caught cottaging in the bathroom at St. Paul's airport? Or Senator Packwood, who forced himself on an intern? Or most members of the Bush Administration whose rep is so toxic no current candidates want or need their endorsement?

    By the time Kennedy was up for office again in the early 90s he'd remarried, gone 12 stepping (notice how he never CONT

  • @ConservativeInk had a drink in front of him at public events & he supported Bush initially over kicking a drinking habit) and he'd fixed his life. His legislative record has had many times the impact of most presidents. By the time I was born sir the whole Chappaquiddick mess was 20 years in the past and privately I think the guy atoned for his mistake from that day forward. He got his comeuppance and came out the other side. He was a great man.

  • @ConservativeInk Oh, and BTW-towing the party line is not always the wise thing to do, as a legislator owes the public not only his service, but his good judgment.  The current Congress is so divided that it reminds me of Lincoln's House divided speech. The deadlock is killing this nation far more than any one itinerant politician could. Ted was always very good at wheeling and dealing behind the scenes-how do you think he got his name on all those bills??

  • He's a credit to his father

  • @olebarca99 That isn't saying much...

  • at 3:07 " he was a devout Catholic whos faith helped him survive unbearable losses" As if I wasnt sad enough of his death that line made me Remember John and Robert Kennedys assassinations:(

    *sigh* was a graceless world we live in...RIP

  • @Afgsusan1 My only regret is that we cant watch them die twice.

  • @shawnbrennan1 we can't all be a low life like you dirt bag

  • @TheWolfhond13 Comment on the video ONLY not on the commentators....or if you like we can meet somewhere then you can say that....for now, do as I say asshat.

  • @shawnbrennan1  what did you to me fuck face

  • @TheWolfhond13 LOL what does that mean? Take your time and try to form a complete sentance....asshat!

  • He died on August 25th 2 years ago on my birthday when I was 14...I was in Afghanistan at the time and being a fan of his I was real heart broken when I found out he died

    rip

  • He was so full of alcohol they didn't have to use embalming fluid. Good thing they would have run out. Filling his fat ass.

    Have fun in HELL. You let a helpless girl drown. COWARD.

  • beautiful. People who come here to make political statements are nothing more then cowards. He was way better then any of you.

  • Ted Kennedy killed a woman and obtained countless jobs for family and friends. He was a blowhard. He got his nephew a burial at sea off a U.S. warship. A nephew that never served in any branch!!!.. Total disgrace.

  • He thought it should be legal to suspend the rights of whites in employment and education law, just a long as it didn't affect him or his family. He made a career out of opposing constitutional rights for his own race, just to shore up a base of African-American, Hispanic and Asian voters.

  • the first generation makes the money. the second keeps it going/with the exception of the youngest son who killed a woman. The third generation turns it into shit. and the fourth will lose it all.

  • Edward Kennedy will taste and feel satan's nut sack against his pork barrel jawls.

  • @JCRIV8406 What a pleasant human being you are.

  • A reason for term limits.

    The whole clan of them were gangster pimps from the beginning.

    Joe Sr made their money from bootlegging.

    Joe Jr. The only real hero of the lot, gave his life in WW2.

    John F.- After whoreing, and feeling entitled around the the east coast, and dating a nazi spy, they sent young johnjohn to the pacific.

    Where, Cliff Roberts be damned, LTjg Kennedy loses his boat due to dipshitery.

  • Awesome speech, brought tears to my eyes.

  • mason killed jfk

  • When you drink and drive you know what you are doing...just like buying a gun and going after someone...the cold-blooded murdering senator from the state of Mass has people like you to thank for his freedom....Merry Christmas

  • @spm1021 Oh fuck off. She got in the car with him didnt she? So basically you are saying she committed suicide! GREAT JOB. YOU JUST CLEARED HIM OF ALL CONTROVERSY. What a saint you are.

  • @spm1021

    Thank You.

  • Ted Kennedy is burning. He killed a woman, probaly died before the "accident". Thank God the Dream isnt living on.

  • @HalfBornUnicornFetus WOW... u fuckin moron... asshole .. u WILL burn in hell.... god gives second chances.... i only pray however that god does not give u that until u change your demonic ways..

  • Comment removed

  • @HalfBornUnicornFetus i can admit i am biased towards liberal beleifs.. but cant u admit u are biased in A conservative manner?..... i apologize for my very innapropriate comments.. cant u do the same?

  • @MrDan401k

    Dude Im hungover. Im deleting my old comment. Im actually from Catholic family too, so im not anti catholic, didnt mean to sound that way.

  • @HalfBornUnicornFetus well ok that makes sense... again sorry for my inappropriate comment

  • Let us not forget Fred Kennedy, whose name sounds like Ted Kennedy.

  • Yeah...a lifelong drunk at a party with a girl who wasnt his wife who failed to report the accident until 30 hours later.....are you really that stupid?

  • @spm1021 obviously you are illiterate. I said it was an accident. All these claims that he killed her on purpose is bullshit. Drunk or not, he obviously didnt do it on purpose. Was he responsible? yea, he was driving. Murder is the act of killing someone in cold blood. Thats not what he did. Go fuck off you troll.

  • Inspiration from the heart, I will never forget Ted Kennedy Jr,'s words.

  • @enigmafia89 Dont forget his murderous cowardly father as well.....

  • Ted the  murdering Kennedy is gone...Mary Jos family finally has justice.

  • @spm1021 it was an accident you numbskull. He wasnt even drunk.

  • @capone50 : His drinking made him a better driver.

  • @capone50

    Then why did it take him 30 hours to call the police.

  • @HalfBornUnicornFetus im pretty sure any man in that situation would freak out a bit. I mean he was driving the car. In this society and in most cases, a jury would assume alcohol or some other motive was involved so therefore gives them the motive to send the man away in prison for life. Im not defending what happened. But there was no foul play and ted had no intentions of killing that poor girl.

  • Before I even clicked on this video I knew I'd see at least two smart-a**ed comments about Chappaquiddick or Mary Jo. Conservatives are so predictable. And yet they try to say Democrats are hateful people, but when Ronald Reagan was being buried I never heard anyone on the left harping on Iran Contra.

  • Er ah when I returned Er ah , Mary Jo and the car were gone. Er ah.

  • Sometimes I wonder, "Why do people need a speech when they speak from there heart?" Or are they really speaking from the heart??

  • @myownkindofperson becuase...things of the higest importance...that could change peoples lives for the better,must not be missed out on saying, at the chance of forgetting.

  • @BobbyEnergy True, although sometimes i still wonder "Is it a trick?" Not for this but like for any speech really. Like do they really mean it?

  • @myownkindofperson We can never know what there attentions are .. however let the speech be a tool.. let it be for inspiration. You see.. take what you can from it..take out all the good you can from it and use that and you focus on your ambitions and not worry about uncertianties.

  • This speach touched my soul deeply

  • Ted Jr. , Patrick & the entire family ........Senator Ted Kennedy (your father , family member and friend) will be so truly missed. When he passed I cried...I still do ....not because of his name but because of what he stood for; compassion & caring for those in need.........the common person. He influenced so many lives for the positive that your loss is also a loss for our country & the world. He will never be forgotten by me or my family......as well as millions around our planet......

  • @transitory9 Mary Jo Kopechne was in need, but Ted never helped her. So much for being compassionate.

  • Typical White Speach- Dave Chapell

  • The Kennedy’s - Lives of Corruption and Deceit

  • The Kennedy’s - Lives of Corruption and Deceit

    That is all that needs to be said.

  • Fuck that RIPTILIAN ANDROID RIPZOOID CLONE I knew his supposed father. rip the skin off it. It was a gaint BLACK WIDOW SPIDER WITH A WHITE TUX Not red.

  • great speach

  • your fathers a murderer you bitch! Your father's a disgrace to the Kennedy name, and is rotting in hell!

  • @FREAKNIZZLE100 That is a nasty comment and you should not write that about a wonderful man

  • @smithandrewj Your a typical left wing nut job. Ted Kennedy was not a good man.. While his two brothers will be remembered as great men (which they were), He will remembered as being responsible for Mary Jo Kopechne death. Scumbag.

  • @FREAKNIZZLE100 doesnt mean he was a scumbag. It was an accident. You hate him becuase he lived. If he would have died then, it would have been a tragedy.

  • Amazing how such a small speech can be so profound and touching that makes feel like it took an eternity, and in a good way...

  • they should have got willie smith to tell a few anecdotes. 

  • My Father died six about six weeks after Senator Kennedy did. My Aunt, my Dad's sister died one month before. I watched this funeral and cried so hard. This speech and Maria Shriver's speech at her Mother's funeral helped me get through this. The Kennedy children showed so much grace during these family tragedies. Two weeks apart. My tragedies were 2 1/2 months apart. My Father's death dropped me to my knees for the first time in my life. I know what you are going through and God Bless.

  • Man this Glenn Beck/tea bag crowd sure has some words. I have some.

    We won, you lost; so sit down, and wait to vote, and to your bigotry and hateful postings; no one cares white trash. You are now a thing of the past and your time is over. Have a happy 4th and remember our men and women overseas fighting today as you bluster and post dopey remarks

  • So wonderful. So touching.

  • *cries*

  • I can't say politically that I am the biggest Teddy fan, but he was a great man. He was a man of determination and conviction. Politics is one thing, ideals are another. If I could tell my son to emulate 5 people, Teddy would be one of them. To the jerk 2 below, to state something about a dead man....you're mother is the one who should be ashamed.-- An Irish Republican (yeah, there's a few of us)

  • one of the most important men in our history gone and now read the posts: POOR AMERICA, who has such patriots, needs no enemies. to this piece of shit below: before you sick weirdos kill the next president, I really hope the lame liberals understand that " ... action follows the word" Heinrich Heine - Those right wing religious fascist US TALIBAN make a pigsty of our 1 st amendment right. Without a doubt, Teddy Kennedy was the best of USA culture which was adored and respected the world over

  • your mothers vagina must be emberassed to have spit your slimmy ass out.

    ignorANUS.

  • This was the best speech at the funeral.

  • why hasnt this son of the SR kenndy run for congress?? it seems like no one is following in Sr kenndys political footsteps

  • My understanding is that Ted Jr doesn't live in Mass, but in New York state so he couldn't run.

  • He lives in CT. So he should run from CT. He only works in NY State.

  • He lives in CT. He should run from CT.

  • Wow new low for Republicans. There is no politics in that eulogy. Its a son talking about his dad

  • Ted Kennedy - A life of Deceit and Corruption

    One senate seat has managed to change the Liberals Democrats entire agenda !

    Ha Ha

  • think about what you're saying. there isn't one hint of political ugliness in this eulogy, why bring it? we're all human, and if nothing else, we are all again united in death. why fight about petty politics even at the end?

  • @mstaff657

    mstaff657 2012!!!! LMAO!

  • I'm not interested in getting in a political debate with anyone, let alone one who seeks out funerals on Youtube for a venue.

  • Kind of like the millions of lives the Bush family destroyed? Or the hundreds of thousands of Americans that died due to a lack of health care under the Bush Administration? Republicans are in no position to accuse anyone of caring too little for their fellow human beings.

  • Imperium Europa:

    The Book that changed the world.

    Amazon Books.

  • coakley ran a bad campaign*

    had little to do ...sadly, with Ted's Passion....we'll fire it up, in his honor.

    obama n dem's we'll work for us,

    or we'll fire their asses.

    BUT IN A PIGS HELL WE'LL VOTE FOR HACK LIAR WAR PIGS LIKE YOU righties honor. in fact ..in my new admin/pack up ur shit cause all big mouth's are on 'front lines. kiss momma goodbye.

    LETS GO DEMS...or lets go down

  • Thanks for your AM Radio facts there. The Kennedy's will never be killed by your bullets of lies or lead...

  • right on my brother...in arms.

  • Go fuck yourself....2124144.

  • 10 years in; 10 years out; 10 years lost...

  • A perfect tribute and excellent speech. Bravo Teddy Jr.

  • That's an excellent speaker. Aware, confident, natural. What I find most interesting is how the timbre of his voice is clearly genetic- you can hear JFK in him. Excellent speech. 10/10.

  • stop shitting on the kennedy's. they are great people, and so disrespectful for you all to say that. shame on you. god bless ted kennedy

  • Comment removed

  • Great speech.

  • what a beautiful speech, well done!!

  • This is still a great Country!

    God Bless!

  • I have ALWAYS loved the Kennedy's.

    They are HUMAN.  Len P.

  • Ted Kennedy: The Early Years is a great bio coming to amazon!

  • and as far is i can say it your dad's view will go on

  • To SufferInJuly, is that really what you have to comment on? I noticed that too, but come on, the man just lost his father. He's human. He's capable of making a linguistic error. How could you ignore everything else he said in your comments? Well done, Teddy Jr! Beautiful speech.

  • What a moving tribute. It's alright now Teddy.

  • Well Done Teddy Jr.

  • It was a tragic accident. Both parties had been drinking. Ted Kennedy spent his life trying to atone for the accident, which never would have been blown to such colossal proportions were it not for the "air pocket" theory.

    Bottom Line: Senator Kennedy was tried and given a sentence for failing to report the accident immediately. If you don't like the sentence, your resentment belongs with the court.

  • That's right. Not to mention the even bigger sentence he got- never becoming president.

  • he was run off the road by 'big boys'...

    was told to shut up or they would take out family'.

    HELLO...THEY FUCKIN KILLED THE OTHER TWO!!

    why do you think he had to muddle the facts.

    AND HE HAD TO ,LIVE WITH IT

    i aint afraid to die..never was

    and fuck em if they dont like it.

    WE GOT A NEW FIGHT!!

    bring it on

  • A very touching tribute to his father. It is amazing how much he looks and sounds like his late father.

  • I miss you Teddy - already......

  • Have some RESPECT people. If you don't like what you see on here, then why the hell are you watching this? How would you feel if your parents died and people disrespected them? Get a life and stop hating on youtube.

  • SO TRUE!

  • More then words I can say- America and a family at it's best. Nothing needs to be said after Teddy Jr. said it all.

    I miss you Teddy already..

  • Why is he Ted Junior if his father's real name is NOT Ted, but rather Edward Moore?

  • This should not have to be explained nor be important. However, the late Senator, his son, and his grandson are all Edward Moore Kennedy, and all three of them are called Ted or Teddy. From that it is easy to do the math. Why does it matter?!

  • It disgusts me that Catholics are so 'angry' that Ted Kennedy was given Catholic funeral rites.

    1. a Requiem mass is to pray for the soul of the deceased - whether he was good or bad, great or small is irrelevant.

    2. Christ taught that we are to have MERCY on others....and I find none of that in the attitude of Catholics on this matter.

    I do not care WHAT he did/did not do....he is a man who has died. Our mercy.....our prayers...for him are required.

  • Ted Jr is impressive. That was very powerful and moving.

  • can we be sure he is not al franken jr.

    watever, make him a senator,its his birthright.

  • An amazing speech. I would expect no less from a family of such class ,dignity, humor, and compassion.

    The comments here are just sad. You people make me sick.

  • yea and bush was a gov enough said the dumbest pres ever and the biggest war criminal along with chenney ever

  • Great speech

  • It is really lame for youtube to feature this.

  • how to like republicans...funny...

    just love americans. do that. all else falls in line.

  • The only terrorists in Ireland were the British.

  • I think you'll find terrorist don't wear uniforms,plant bombs that kill innocent children then run off home to hide. I give you your proud ira.

  • If Ted Kennedy supported the IRA then the British gov/British Military Intelligence, in collusion with Loyalist death squads murdered hundreds of Catholics from 1969/70 on. The British army were real beauties when they arrived, especially the Paras-shooting people dead in Belfast and Derry,

  • You need to way of the mark, typical plastic American Irish know nothing. You're a joke, I've got more Irish blood in me than you. Go and wear yer fucking green hat on st paddies day you know nothing.
