I am from the USA and would consider myself fairly "mainstream" but my ideals don't include evil and torture! Just because she's a Kennedy or rich or privileged doesn't mean that she can't produce something meaningful and important. I learned a lot from watching her documentary and it motivated me to speak out and act against the negative image my country has created in the world. I may be idealistic but at least I don't turn a blind eye to the evils my beloved but misguided country committed!

@Seasass

Ted Kennedy and Robert too..both created Civil Rights Inc...and milked for all

it was worth. Teddy rode the Civil Rights Hobby Horse into the ground

using it get elected for 45 fvcking years. Meanwhile this Teddy the murdering

psychopath used his power at every turn to destroy mainstream America.

Open borders, welfare, dumbing down of schools, surrender in every conflict.

Teddy Kennedy was IDEALISTIC to the core..and as is so typical, a sociopath

at the same time.

@ehunter2 Idealism isn't always the result of ignorance. Sometimes comes from keener vision. People advised RFK not to speak in Indianapolis the night that MLK was killed, but he did, and his gentle words diffused the crowd's anger and probably spared that city the riots that shook so many other places. Rory has not only her father's looks, but his thirst for the truth and his sense of right and wrong. He would have been proud of her; sadly, he never even saw her.

I thought so too!

[ehunter2]

More of the amazing ability of the pseudo lntellectual to tie themself into knots with bogus issues, fake posturing and good old fashion ignorance, and of course the

usual MASSIVE passivity and resignation all masquerading as "wisdom"

[QueenLiz88]

Oh, and just for your information, I care about more than just assuaging my "liberal guilt". I do want results. However, I don't think we can compromise our principals to reach those results and I'm not so jaded that I think we need to. If you want to call that idealism or naïveté, go right on ahead.

[QueenLiz88]

Well lets just make vast over-generalizations, what fun! It's a stretch to say that terrorism and war are consequences of "idealism". I think that people who support the war in Iraq as a "War on Terror" often gloss over the difficulty of waging a war against terrorism; it's not cut and dry like waging war against a country and maybe you should look at the consequences of trying to do so: more terrorism, more death, more war. I don't think you have such a firm grasp on the issue either.

[ehunter2]

Typical cut-n-paste liberal ignorance.

Complete blindness on how things actually happen in the world. You seize on a simple minded "ideal" which makes you feel good about yourself..(much as Carloyn-poo does) and that is all that matters. What the consequences of your idealism are in real life...more terrorist attacks, more death, real wars.. you simply dont care or understand..all that matters is YOU...WONDERFUL YOU..and your pet causes

[tigerbear9]

Alas, she has those beautiful Kennedy eyes, but she is a bleeding-heart, treasonous fool.

"those f*****g redneck National Guard fucks who actually did it are the ones to blame." HOW WOULD YOU KNOW WHERE YOU THEIR?
