Edward Kennedy: "The Dream Shall Never Die" (1980)

[densaner77]

"The Dream Shall Never Die". Unlike Mary Jo Kopechne. Eh Ted?

[zerogullibility]

@avaiae Isn't that the Republican's favorite gripe? Minimum wage kills jobs?

Gett off it! When someone says high, you say low. You disgree to gisagree. You smell up every room you enter.

The upper 1% are NOT paying enough in taxes. 3/4 of the American people agree with that.

Let the filthy rich pay their fair sahre, and almost all of our budget problems will be solved. Then cut military spending to be in line with REALITY, and the working poor won't have to tighten their belts anymore.

[ramnation11]

I absolutely love these people they did so much for this country, but people are too stupid to see that and they only dwell on the negative!

[RadarGuidedVermin]

@ramnation11 They should have dumped Ted's ass in the tidal channel of Chappaquiddick Island.

[andrelebaron]

apparently, the "dream" involved a lot of blow, dead hookers and bankrupting his own country.

[GeorgiaKev]

One of the greatest and most powerful senators in American history.

[ey87rv]

Best speech ever!

[1982RRusso]

This isn't the most famous thing Ted Kennedy ever said. The most famous thing Ted Kennedy ever said is, "Don't worry, Mary Jo. I'll be back to rescue you. As soon as I sober up."

[LadyBirdJohnson]

And then Reagan won. Why is this ridiculous line so celebrated?

[coolhand67]

What a remarkable family!

[bobmac1973]

I'm from Mass. & say FUCK Ted Kennedy thank fuckin christ Reagan won

[chucknchar]

@bobmac1973 Yes, it was you, who help them destroy America

[bobmac1973]

@chucknchar you dont know what the fuck you're talkin about

[chucknchar]

@bobmac1973 Thats right bob, you and others like you who take pride is wallowing in ignorance, you who were seduced by storytellers, who appealed to your gullibility. It was you! It was you, for dubious reasons who listened to aristocratic fabricators and you bought it, you buy it. You even act on their behalf and you get nothing for it, you are the weak link, you are the willing water boy for corporate aristocracy and worship their poster boy Ronald Reagan

[lawsontube1975]

i'm a real bostonian...and i say fuck you! name three things reagan did to advance the cause of minorities, the poor, and the under-served in this country. do it!!! i bet you can't even count to three. i'm so embarrassed we live in the same state. fuck off back to alabama.

[RRussoNJ1982]

That isn't Ted Kennedy's most famous quote.  His most famous qoute is "Don't worry Mary Jo. I'll be right back to rescue you. Just as soon as I sober up."

[Tupac4lyfe44440]

Why wasnt he president? well, because those in power wouldnt let it be for one. And, for 2, He's a Kennedy. They'd kill him too if it were ever allowed, which they wouldnt allow another Kennedy into office. Sadly, this country wont change until another revolution..

[andrelebaron]

an alcoholic blue beard speaking on behalf of the people who profited from bloated government and left trillions in debt behind.

[gopconservative78]

Ted Kennedy snorted so much coke.......you wonder why the drug trade exploded in the 1980s

[Jedermann101]

How well he captured in words the spirit of America! The dream will never die; it is our sacred duty to carry on the spirit of the great, generous, compassionate America!

An old idealist

[Griffinltd]

"I can see Russia from my house"

/facepalm

[vtrman1962]

@smithandrewj all supporters of Teddy are scum that fat ugly drunken little rich boy should have gone to prison for manslauter

[lawsontube1975]

fuck you. he is ten times the man, if you are a man, that you'll ever be. your grammar sucks by the way. moron.

[vtrman1962]

Laura bush was not drunk and she did not run away, Teddy is a slime fat ugly drunken cowardhis legacy, pork politics that's why mass scum loved him

[vtrman1962]

His legacy drunken coward

[Beachman98]

He was...and is - the most successful Senator of all-time.....

he wan't perfect, and niether are most humans...once again, i will pose the

question to the right-wing nut/jobs.......why isn't the death INFLICTED BY LAURA BUSH (WHILE DRIVING) covered as much as the tragic death of Mary Joe..if Teddy is a killer - so is the librarian L. Bush....an takers, I doubt it:)

.

[mwgcubs]

He had numerous flaws, but lived an extraordinary life.

[KongSunWu]

People can turn their lives around. Ted started out as a mommies boy. Who wanted something other than politics as a profession but knuckled under his fathers demands. He was kicked out of Harvard twice for cheating.

Towards the end of life he participated in a rape with his nephew in Florida. As the woman raped was middle class and as the Kenndys have so much political power justice was not done.

He died a fat drunk rapist.

[93rardo]

God bless his soul.

[Beachman98]

Open question for all the rightg-wing haters.....In her youth Laura Bush killed Her

teen lover in an accident...(it's debated whether or not she was drinking at the time...)

Why is Laura Bush given a free pass whle Ted K is crucified...speak up with some

reasoning....right-wingers...

[kagemaru397]

RIP Ted

[swolen4]

he was a murderer. I'm glad his ass is dead. hope he was in alot of pain as he was dying.

[smithandrewj]

@swolen4 That is a nasty comment

[swolen4]

@smithandrewj well he was a nasty son of a bitch.

[mjscrossover]

It still boggles my mind the people of Ma. would keep voting this dope in year after year. it was only fitting that this socialism health care program would pass after his azzzz was gone

[PD1981]

RIP Uncle Ted. A great American who made this world an infinitely better place for his having been in it

[istralm]

"The dream will never die". True, but at least you did you horrible, fat cunt

[smithandrewj]

@istralm That is a nasty comment

[MANSHOTS]

With Kennedy sweating like that and with the air horns sounding as he's congratulating Jimmy Carter, it's kinda like the Red Sox losing game 7 of the world series at fenway park to the braves who overcame being 5 to 1 underdogs.

[MANSHOTS]

Or Tom Brady being picked off for an 80 yard interception return within the two minute warning of the AFC championship game at his home field in Foxboro MA. as the Dolphins head toward the super bowl to play the falcons, while the home fans sound their air horns while giving Brady the finger.

[MANSHOTS]

and as the air horns were sounding after the final pop out by Jason Varitek at fenway, Jimmy Carter both called and ran into the visitors locker room at Fenway to congratulate the World Series champions.

[MANSHOTS]

then ted turner and jane fonda celebrated their fenway park world series championship road win by taking a luxury charter bus to will huntings crappy neighborhood of southie, laid out a blanket on the street with champagne and caviar and a bag of carter's peanuts to celebrate the improbable upset victory at fenway park

[PGY2J]

"And the dream shall never die"

Gives me chills

[wings4ever]

omg this man was great ,,, why was not he president? a great lion heart.

an very hansome also like a kennedy

[simoncaca]

cuz he killed a bitch in the 60s

[czajac789]

Fuck you. I'll kill you

[RadarGuidedVermin]

Ted was garbage. He belongs in a landfill, not Arlington.

[MANSHOTS]

I thought that he was a very class individual. a very thoughtful man that did a lot for his constituancy and the underpriveleged.

[RadarGuidedVermin]

You thought wrong. He was a boozing asshole who killed a young woman and thought nothing of it.

[MANSHOTS]

yeah but that was vehicular involuntary manslaughter and there's a statute of limitations being over 40 years ago before most of the world was born.

[RadarGuidedVermin]

Lying Kennedy made no efforts to rescue the young woman, or notify those who could. He was an asshole. Good riddance.

[MANSHOTS]

maybe the batteries in his cell phone died.

[RadarGuidedVermin]

They didn't have cell phones in the sixties, dumbass. Try again.

[MANSHOTS]

didn't Sammy Davis Jr. talk on one while riding Archie Bunker's cab?

[RadarGuidedVermin]

The character Archie Bunker did not exist in the sixties. Try again.

[MANSHOTS]

Then batman had one in the batmobile.

[RadarGuidedVermin]

I think you have a few bats flying around in that cave you call a head.

[MANSHOTS]

maybe he did have a cell phone and used one for years, because I heard on the news that cell phones cause brain cancer, so if you use one you'd better use discretion.

[RadarGuidedVermin]

Maybe you're not dumb. Maybe you're just really stupid.

[MANSHOTS]

stupid is as stupid does !

[RadarGuidedVermin]

... and you does stupid.

[MANSHOTS]

OMFG, that was so quick a response.

[RadarGuidedVermin]

I try to keep them short and easy to understand for your benefit.

[MANSHOTS]

and he also was a class act and astute politician, an American like JFK and RFK, EMK was a great american.

[93rardo]

@dgate007

Lee Harvey Oswald-lover.

[MrTabby5000]

@wings4ever

he murdered mary jo.

[jojopuppyfish]

@wings4ever Mary Jo kopechne is the reason he was never president.....18 stupid people gave you a thumbs up, but they didn't have to drive home with Ted that awful night

[Trashfished]

@wings4ever ted kennedt was a liberal pile of shit. And a murderer. Good fucking riddance.

[Trashfished]

@wings4ever ted kennedy was a pile of shit. Good fucking riddance.

[Bladejob123]

go ask Mary Jo.....



[SandCmpbll]

no he's not. there are 45, 999,999 more million of them that voted for McCain and Punked Palin.

[123demaio]

Republicans with spending and the largest increase in Government the dept of Homeland security have ruined this country

[aSingleDallasGuy]

I don't wish anyone ill. But, I am sure glad this guy can't continue to wreck this country anymore! He was more intune with Cuban beliefs under Castro than American. I think in the history of this country never has one man in public office been more of the Antithesis of the founding of it. I am getting the impression that Barrack Obama has now taken over this role! God help us all!

[SandCmpbll]

you prove there is no hope for an educated populace in this country. That time has passed us by.

[aSingleDallasGuy]

SandCmpbll..... Since you are clearly uneducated then this point is moot!

I never try to reform socialists, it's a waste of time. Just keep on going out to the mailbox for your govt checks and block of cheese.

[BlackpeopleLOL]

Why would you name a healthcare bill after an obese alchoholic?

[libssuck55]

roll his fat ass in a hole with m. jackson and lets get on with life BFD!!! that a hole killed and got away with it. i compare him with OJ. he was a piece of shit.

[1019drummer]

the real meat of this speech is him quoting reagan.

[yahoopl3]

got kicked out of harvard for cheating on a test...tried to drown a ho.....this man was a filthy piece of shit, every bit as crooked as his father was...the world is better off without garbage like him in it

[MontanaFiddler]

Who are you suppose to be?

[yahoopl3]

your superior, and i'm succeeding, fuckwit

[MontanaFiddler]

You're nobody, exactly. Have a nice life being an idiot. Enjoy your food stamps.

[yahoopl3]

Cease your psychobabble and go mow somebody's lawn, you disgusting piece of welfare trash

[MontanaFiddler]

Are you not clever enough to have an original insult? Apparently not. You're a judgmental little prick who speaks about subjects you have no knowledge of other than what the media has spoon fed you. In addition, I'm an Investment Advisor and run an Investment Firm. I most likely pay more in taxes on an annual basis than what you make per year. I suggest you cease and desist you pretentious little maggot.

[yahoopl3]

Look, you pretentious little troll, you know absolutely nothing about my life, and therefore project your own inadequacies onto me. An "investment advisor", hahahaha.... you're a broke dick broker who is too stupid to make money using his own money so you have to find suckers who are dumb enough to take your lame brain uneducated advice. You are total shit, now don't pretend to be otherwise. You're a fucking idiot who loves govt. hand outs, and that is why you worship liberal dickheads

[MontanaFiddler]

I told you to "enjoy your food stamps" and you replied with "you disgusting piece of welfare trash". Then I called you "pretentious" in which you replied that I'm "pretentious". LOL. You lack any ability to think for yourself and you have no originality. How sad is that. You're not intelligent enough for me to debate. I don't argue with complete morons. BTW, I'm a Registered Investment Advisor, not a stock broker. Most of my net worth is in stocks. Idiot.

[yahoopl3]

lololol@ the unemployed dipshit loser who justifies his imaginary job description by advising his daddy to buy a share of msft and invest in a mutual fund hawking corporate bonds to get a fixed income. Give it up, asswipe. You're not fooling anybody but yourself. You're uneducated and have the iq of a turnip. You're pretty much useless to society, just like Kennedy was.

[MontanaFiddler]

:) Useless like Kennedy? Well, what exactly have you done that we should all be in awe of? Who the fuck are you suppose to be you little cock sucker.

[yahoopl3]

Hey, what prerequesites are involved before you're allowed to call yourself a total failure at life..i mean...er...an "investment advisor" ? I bet you had to put in 2 or 3 years as a urinal at a public mens restroom didn't you? Perhaps you also had a lobotomy to make yourself stupid enough to be incompetent at everything else? Please, enlighten me. I find losers like you humorous.

[MontanaFiddler]

You have a case of incipient verbal diarrhea. Your brain is filled with rot. You're boring to me and adolescent in character. I have no interest in your childish demeanor.

[yahoopl3]

Thank you for sharing your banal thoughts and opinions which no one cares about, you may now get back to fantasizing about being somewhat proficient in the market trading your own money, as opposed to begging your mommy and daddy and various other suckers to take your worthless advice. Enjoy your sad existence , no one else will.

[eyeparc]

Nice you need to dismiss you class when you are finish. It's a nice touch.
