Citing the assassinations of uncles John F. and Robert F. Kennedy, Rep. Patrick Kennedy accused grassroots conservatives of "very, very dangerous" behavior that could lead to violence against public officials.
"When they go and stoop to the level of the vitriolic rhetoric that we've seen this debate turn up, it's very, I think, dangerous to the fabric of our country," the Rhode Island Democrat said according to The Providence Journal.
Kennedy's remarks targeted Tea Party Patriots, 9-12 Project members, and other conservative activists. His comments came during a private forum on health care in Providence.
His characterization of conservatives appeared to echo recent comments by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi compared conservatives to 1970s-era San Francisco militants who used "very frightening" rhetoric that "created a climate in which violence took place."
Rep. Kennedy, the son of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, went even further, however. He said the behavior of grassroots conservatives could actually threaten the safety of American politicians.

This could not be made up. The ‘Rat Party is getting desperate.
In good news, Patrick Kennedy has a credible opponent for the first time since 1994.
Seems like the statists will soon be making their move.
he forgot the “by leftists” part
He wishes.
Patty. If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. You can always deliver copies of the “Daily Worker” to your friends and neighbors. You got a bike?
Some of these lib nuts are hoping for assassinations so that they can get the sympathy vote to compensate for their tarnished ideological images.
Personally, I think it unlikely that anyone is going to get assassinated during the debate process, but I would not be surprised to see violence if the bill actually passes and turns out to be as bad as a lot of people say it will be. And yes, I do think that the bullseye will be on some of these politicians’ backs. Remember that the French beheaded 40,000 Royals during their revolution. Marie Antoinette lost her head.
Far more likely that drunk Kennedy’s could drive over people at 3 AM instead of concrete barriers.
JFK’s Assassin: Commie.
RFK’s Assassin: Palestinian.
Seems more likely some leftist wanker will assassinate someone.
I believe that's what we have a second amendment for you brainless twit.
Yes and Patrick Kennedy’s motto is:
LET THEM EAT RUM CAKE
They are taking preemptive action to blame Republicans if anything terrible happened to the President. Wonder if Pat would have felt the same if Bush or even Palin would have been (God forbid) harmed in any way, given the hateful actions by the Left?
Pat you are safe we need your dumb ass around to make stupid statements.
Yea, I can’t believe how the 9/12 patriots broke windows, looted, pillaged, fired their guns in air and terrorized DC.
What that never happened? You mean it was one of the peaceful and orderly protests in American history?
Patrick the addict learned well from daddy how to be a d***head.
As usual Democrat projection.
Thomas Jefferson
I’m scared too. That they’ll off Obama themselves to create mayhem. I want Obama safe and alive. Just out of office.
By my count, one kennedy has killed more people than the entire one million people from 9/12.
On the other hand, I’m sure patty would consider it self defense if a Republican got whacked— cuz Repub’s are just making people “die quickly” anyway— There’s no “harsh rhetoric” from the dimRats, is there?
It would not be out of the socialist/communist playbook to arrange some dead bodies to set up the conservatives =
they are truly evil
He might just be right.
ARE THERE ANY FREEPERS FROM RHODE ISLAND?
I haven’t seen any violence coming from the right, but have seen a lot of lefties get down and dirty. I hope nothing happens to the messiah, be if it does, it most likely will be someone on the left who he put the screws to. We expected him to do as he did; they expected miracles.
“Citing the assassinations of uncles John F. and Robert F. Kennedy, Rep. Patrick Kennedy accused grassroots conservatives of “very, very dangerous” behavior that could lead to violence against public officials.”
So who gives a $hit about public officials? Any personal danger comes from being corrupt. It has always been that way throughout history...
This guy is a cowardly, chicken $#!t little bastard.
Let’s see John was shot by a left-wing communist and Robert was shot by a Muslim was he not?
ping.
So what are they really really afraid of? Oh, could it be the public not falling for the political class wool job, the pay to play, corruption and selling out of America for their personal gain which could be summed up as treasonous behavior.
Political Cowards and Seditionists: BE VERY AFRAID!
How was REHAB Patrick?
A few questions for Patrick:
How often did you cast votes affecting America while under the influence of drugs?
How many times have you been in rehab?
What drugs were you abusing?
Where did you get them?
Did you use your taxpayer funded salary to buy drugs?
Would the average American be arrested for the behavior you have been excused for?
I could go on and on. Where is ONE stinking reporter demanding the answer to these, and other, questions?
They are already making their move!
To say that the treasonous actions of modern politicians "triggers" assassinations might have validity. But to say that valid, justified and well-founded protests against hateful, hurtful, evil and treasonous government actions and policies somehow "triggers" assassinations is not only laughably wrong, it's also clearly a treasonous attempt to deny the people their inalenable right to protest, and to petition government for a redress of grievances. But given the vile, lying scum who's making this accusation, no one sould be surprised.
More people were killed by Kennedy cars than by anyone attending the protest on 9/12.
What rehab did he post this statement from?
The really vitriolic language is coming from the Democrats, and all, all, the talk about violence is coming from their side.
And all the actual violence has come from their side.
They are just trying to get their people whipped up enough so that they’ll look the other way when violence comes, or even actively take part in it. Its what they are already doing, all the while wringing their hands and throwing blame on their victims.
The reason for the 2nd amendment is so the people can enforce our rights in the rest of the constitution even if that means tyrants holding office have to .........well you get my point.
Thomas Jefferson said; “When the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people you have liberty.”
Sounds to me like he may be feeling a little fearful, good for him.
When I saw the headline I thought Fat Teddy had come back from the grave, phew, I was really worried. Lucifer probably 77 years of hell was enough for those on earth.
” and AARP members who favor healthcare reform”
Be careful what you say... I’m an AARP member and I’d like to see reform. Just not the kind that the dem’s nave in mind...
Yawnnnnnnnnnnnn
Oh, thank you! At least the locals are safer every time he goes into rehab.
A Kennedy, eh? Heck, all we have to do is give the retard some mode of transportation: car, airplane, skis, and his natural family spazmosity will do the rest.
And Alan Grayson’s comments about the Republican helathcare plan for sick Americans is to die quickly?
This is ridiculous. Project, deflect, project, deflect. These people are screaming about exactly what they are doing, only accusing the people they hate instead of themselves.
This is the bipolar-disconnect mentality that the liberals seem to be operating under every day. Guess self-loathing is having the ultimate effect. They are imploding yet exploding at their enemies.
The Rats are getting frustrated. Here is my conspiracy theory on how it plays out: They see their messiah failing miserably. ...and all of the other libs like Pelosi, Reid, Schumer are making things worse. The Rats see that Obama cannot be re-elected and that BOH’s miserable failures are going to shift control of Congress to the Republicans. So they are drumming up this assasination hysteria so when the hitmen hired by the DNC take out BOH, while wearing white robes and carrying Confederate flags...all handily caught on video ...then they can play the race card again in an attempt to head off a Republican takeover of Congress and the White House.
My disclaimer: I have no plans to harm the president and know of no plans to harm the president. This is just my theory of how far desparate libs are willing to go to maintain power.
I believe the choice is answers A and C.
“Patches oh patches from poor shanty town.”
“He said the behavior of grassroots conservatives could actually threaten the safety of American politician’s”.......JOBS.
You realize, of course, that virtually nobody on the left will understand the provenance of the picture nor what it represents.
And is that not an indictment of the left's education...and those who educated them?
You may be right - The Kennedy boys were raised to turn this country to Socialism.
Joe jr. was killed in the war, so Jack inherited the mantel. However, when he got in the WH, he, essentially, became his own man rather that follow the program. So, he was taken out.
Then their hopes rest on Robert = but it was not to be.
Then Teddy was slotted for the WH, but lost the primary. That was when the Socialists regrouped across the country to figure out what to do. What they decided was to infiltrate and take over the democrat party from the local communities to DC.
30 years later - SUCCESS!
Now, with the obamination making stumble after stumble, they may be getting buyers remorse? Might they figure they could solve two problems at once?
“Let’s see John was shot by a left-wing communist”
If you watch a couple of minutes of this video you’ll see that this statement has been proven wrong.
