Representative Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) warned of the dangers of “unconstrained opposition to the President’s policies.” “We don’t want to see a repeat of the 1960s when the same sort of vitriolic rhetoric led to the assassinations of my two uncles.” Kennedy urged we “put a damper on this type of rhetoric before we have cause to regret it.”
Kennedy said that the kind of vitriolic rhetoric he feels has gone too far includes “statements implying that the President’s health care bill will lead to rationing of care or that federal deficits will lead to bankruptcy or tax increases.”
“Just consider, the ‘Tea Party’ acronym stands for ‘Taxed Enough Already,’” Kennedy continued. “It’s not for these unelected rabble rousers to determine whether they are taxed enough. The Constitution gives congress the power to decide whether people are sufficiently taxed. This kind of open rebellion against duly constituted authority fosters the kind of disrespect for the government that could lead to violence. It must be stopped.”
Representative Kennedy’s uncle, President John Kennedy, was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, a communist sympathizer, in 1963. His uncle, Senator Robert Kennedy (D-NY), was shot by Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian militant, in 1968. How these previous murders relate to “right wing” opposition to past or current policies wasn’t made clear by the Representative.

Boozed up drug besotted imbecile brained IDIOT!
IOW, a chip off the ol’ block.
Kennedy = first-class schmuck
mmmm, not so much concern about the left’s opposition to Bush....
Put a sock in it you jerk!!!
Violence like DROWNING A YOUNG GIRL, PATRICK??? THAT kind of VIOLENCE??? Or the kind of violence that is RUNNING OVER A BARRICADE When DRUNK or DRUGGED and there are PEDESTRIANS in harm;s way? THAT kind of violence, Patrick???
Clearly a confused Commie (Oswald), Jhadi (Sirhan^2) supporter.
Hey, Patches, quit saying that or I’ll punch you in the nose.
“unconstrained”
Even Daley plaza a la Chicago is no match for 0bama’s limo and trailing minigun SUV. This time, it’s America itself that is being triangulated.
So constrain us......we dare you.
He wants to “...“put a damper on this type of rhetoric....”? Well, then, he could STFU. We all know he is a dim bulb and a weasel. And he is claiming that criticism of the administration will incite violence. Where was he when Bush was being vilified? Oh, wait. Part of the time he was being weaned off of drugs.
‘Kennedy continued. “It’s not for these unelected rabble rousers to determine whether they are taxed enough. The Constitution gives congress the power to decide whether people are sufficiently taxed. This kind of open rebellion against duly constituted authority fosters the kind of disrespect for the government that could lead to violence. It must be stopped.” ‘
This is oh, so King Georgian.
...and the magic bullet coup is owned by the Democrat.
Patches needs to up his meds.
"Vitriolic rhetoric" in 1963? What a stupid comment.
You can see (from the early comments here) that any successfully parody of a Kennedy is extremely difficult, as no absurdity any one of them expresses is beyond the realm of possibility.
Seven posts and no one has seen the ‘satire’ label. This one was the toughest to recognize.
unelected rabble rousers
did he come up with that when he was under the influence?
LOL
I fell for it.
