Robert Kennedy: Mindless Menace of Violence

Robert Kennedy's amazing, timeless speech. I know there's quite a few videos like this on here (and I even have some of the same pics), but I was bored and felt like paying some respect to these great words.

Longwayhome: I'm sorry, but you really poltiicized Robert's words unnecesarily....it has nothing to do with Bush or Iraq. You turned his words into propaganda and thats just wrong.

[longwayhome617]

Did nothing of the sort. Merely used an example that fit with the words of RFK: "too often we honor swagger and bluster and the wielders of force."

Convince me that's not precisely what occurred with the Bush Administration?

They're a good example. If it offends you that I used them as an example, tough shit. They made themselves out to be what I portrayed them as.

My eyes tear up and my heart aches as I hear this man.

How could they kill a man with such a noble message of love?

Perhaps the finest speech of the 20th century.  It was a long and big leap for me to finally realize that RFK was bigger and better than JFK.

@Marana1234 Listen to it again. “Too often we honor swagger and bluster and wielders of force; too often we excuse those who are willing to build their own lives on the shattered dreams of others.” Does this not sound like the Bush and now the Obama administrations. Bobby Kennedys' words are still relevant today. It is about ending violence, and the last few presidents solved every foreign issue with? Violence, right?

The greatest speech ever!!!!!!!

[petele345]

compare this to the words that come of the mouth of, say, Rush Limbaugh.

@longwayhome617 I think that's what my gripe was there are NO videos of this speech without the music. Wow it takes a lot of repeating to get through doesn't it.

[longwayhome617]

@MrLuvlyJubly Because it doesn't matter in the least bit. If you don't enjoy the music, ignore it or go watch a different video. I couldn't care less. I enjoyed what the music added to the emotion of the speech, I spent the time putting the video together, so I uploaded it. Life goes on. Now could you please focus on the meaning of the speech?

[MrLuvlyJubly]

@Pennylite But it IS possible to get hold of the unedited version of this speech so WHY add music every single occasion? No need.

@MrLuvlyJubly

This speech was added to the movie "Bobby". YouTube had nothing to do with adding the music. The people who made the movie added the music.

It seems that those with the moral courage to stand for truth and what is right. Who spread a message of peace and love always have their lives cut short by those who know only violence. But we cannot let this destroy our spirit. We must continue to spread the message of compassion and understanding. We must not give in to the desire for revenge, but recognize the need for forgiveness. That is a cause that is worth dying for.
