Your blind hatred shows the world how the far right wing extremists like yourself have become ideological terrorists.

1> If you think Ted Kennedy is even a moderately decent person, you are the blind one. You think Ted Kennedy isn't a demented sicko; he caused the drowning death of a woman and mocks the world and the woman by naming one of his dogs "splash." He supports the war on drugs, but is a drug addict himself. He supports laws that regulate what we can put in our own bodies, but he is terribly obese.

2> Ted Kennedy is the extremist, not I. He is a big-government fanatic. He proposes and supports bills in an attempt to use government to control people's lives...that is not what a freedom-loving individual would do. Most people in society, unlike Teddy, are able to conduct themselves responsibly.

3> Ted Kennedy is the perfect example of "blind hatred." Ted has been on a rampage his entire political career. He has a vendetta against every gun owner in the world. During the 1980's Ted was part of a Congressional panel to study the meaning of the 2nd Amendment. The panel concluded the 2nd Amendment protects an individual's right. Ted is so fanatical, that he still claims the 2nd Amendment to the United States Constitution does not protect an individual's right to own/use firearms. Ted's fanatical hatred has blinded him to the facts.

Your situation appears to be no different, believing that Ted Kennedy deserves some type of respect.

Here are some facts for you:
- the Kennedys are rich because they sold illegal drugs
- Ted is a drug addict
- Ted’s action/inactions directly resulted in a woman drowning
- Ted named his dog “splash.” I see that as a clear indication that he has no remorse for killing Mary Jo Kopechne. He seems to be mocking Mary Jo and her family.
- Ted routinely proposes and supports bills that are unconstitutional
- Ted does not believe that individuals have the right to self defense, but thinks it’s OK for him to have body guards armed with sub-machine guns.

4> You are delusional if you think I am a Republican. I didn't vote for George in 2000, I didn't vote for him in 2004, and I'm not going to vote for McCain. I didn’t vote for Romney. Stop trying to dismiss my comments by simple claiming that I am a Republican. Open your eyes. It doesn't matter if Fat Teddy sits on the right side or the left side of the isle - he is a demented individual and our state and our country will be better-off without him.

5> I think your phrase “Ideological terrorists” better suits Ted Kennedy and those who support him. A terrorist uses force or the threat of force to make other people do things that they would not otherwise do. Ted Kennedy and the DNC’s socialist agenda perfectly fit the definition of terrorists. The Republican Party isn’t any better. The NeoCon’s agenda is the same as the DNC’s.

You still sound like a terrorist. This is America and Ted is an American.

Disagree with politics and debate (preferably using logic and reason if you can) based on issues, but to wish ill on people personally and in such a hateful, violent manner puts you on par with terrorists.

So you think the murderer is bad...who do you think is going to take his seat?

Joe "I make a million plus on the backs of poor people" for oil?

His drunken son from Rhode Island?

His wife?

If you think Mass is in a mess now - just wait until his drops dead. It will be even worse.

P.S. He's sailing right now....maybe we'll get lucky and he'll fall overboard..drown..you know, karma and all that.

Charming.

Anyone that thinks MA "is a mess" need only look to WV to feel much, much better about our fine state.

If you are any indication, perhaps it's true about what they say about education in WV.

"Do we operate under a system of equal justice under law?
Or is there one system for the average citizen
and another for the high and mighty?"
- Senator Ted Kennedy, 1973 -

- Ted Kennedy had a record of serious traffic violations. Their nature formed a pattern of deliberate and repeated negligent operation. Particularly bothersome was a June, 1958 conviction for "reckless driving."

- On March 14, 1958, Deputy Sheriff Thomas Whitten had been on routine highway patrol outside Charlottesville, Virginia, when an Oldsmobile convertible ran a red light, sped off, then cut its tail lights to elude pursuit. A license check revealed the car belonged to Edward M. Kennedy, a 26-year-old law student attending the University of Virginia. Kennedy had previously been fined $15 for speeding in March 1957.
- Whitten was on patrol at the same intersection a week later, he testified, "And here comes the same car. And to my surprise, he did exactly the same thing. He raced through the same red light, cut his lights when he got to the corner and made the right turn." Whitten gave chase. He found the car in a driveway, apparently unoccupied. Looking inside, he discovered the driver, Teddy Kennedy, stretched out on the front seat and hiding. Whitten issued a ticket for "reckless driving; racing with an officer to avoid arrest; and operating a motor vehicle without an operator's license (Mass. registration.)"
- Kennedy's attorneys were able to win numerous postponements, but eventually he was convicted on all charges and paid a $35 fine. Court officials never filed the mandatory notice of the case in the public docket, however, and Kennedy's name had not appeared on any arrest blotter. Instead, a local reporter discovered the case when he spotted 5 warrants in Kennedy's name in a court cash drawer.

- Three weeks after his trial, Ted Kennedy was caught speeding again, and still operating without a valid license.

- In December 1959, Kennedy was stopped again for running a red light and fined $10 and costs. In Whitten's view, "That boy had a heavy foot and a mental block against the color red. He was a careless, reckless driver who didn't seem to have any regard for speed limits or traffic ordinances."

- The offenses in Virginia had occurred on Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts driver's license, but mysteriously neither the Registry of Motor Vehicles nor the office of probation in Cambridge had any record of the out-of-state convictions. Had it been revealed at the inquest, the Senator's history of negligence and reckless driving would have been further evidence to support a charge of manslaughter in the Chappaquiddick accident.

Great accomplishments from a great man.

"Labor leader Robert Haynes sat in his office for a half hour rattling off initiatives U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy has pushed to improve the lives of workers.

He talked about minimum wage increases, unemployment benefits, a safe work environment, worker training, pay equity, education and health care.

Haynes finally gave up, knowing that it would be nearly impossible to recall all the major issues Kennedy has taken on in his 40-year career -- civil rights, the Northern Ireland peace process, gun control and clean water, to name just a few. Haynes said it would be far easier to list what the state's senior senator hasn't done than to keep up with his accomplishments.

"It's really overwhelming," said Haynes, president of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO. "I don't know what he doesn't do. Everything he's done helps somebody, somewhere, sometime, somehow." Haynes is convinced that Kennedy has touched the lives of every single person in the state, if not the nation.

Whether he's helping workers hold on to health care, advocating for student loans, joining the picket lines with nurses, helping children read, getting meals to senior citizens or fighting to protect a woman's right to choose, Kennedy has stood up for the rich, poor, men, women, Democrats and Republicans, Haynes said."

So you self-identify that your comments are the result of a laxative.

Well done.
