It seems obvious to me he means backward thinking or out of date. I don't believe he was being racist. NewsMax is being overtly over offended, they are the ones who point to a hispanic and african american and making this a racist statement.

That said. It is just this kind of rude and unnecessary name calling and rhetoric that the republicans and the public (hopefully) are getting fed up with.

TED KENNEDY CALLED THESE WOMEN "NEANDERTHALS"?

If anyone can give me an exact quote, I'd love it. And let me know if Dan Rather mentioned this tonight. I can't stomach watching him anymore.

[Dan from Michigan]

Ted Kennedy belongs in JAIL.

[hellinahandcart]

Time to play the race card and the sex card, Janice Brown. You're the only one who can do it.

Get your face in front of a camera TODAY and say "'Neanderthal'? I thought that term was reserved for rich white male Senators from Massachusetts who think their elite private-school education qualifies them read a black woman's mind. Why didn't he just call me a monkey and get it over with?"

Fat drunken Troglodyte pisses me off...

[SF Republican]

Ted reminds me of that line in Chinatown when John Huston is talking to Jack Nicholson over lunch and says "old buildings, whores, and politicians all gain respect if they live long enough" - Ted is the exception that proves the rule.

And this from a mudering, pro-abort drunk who is two slots to the left of Piltdown Man on the evolutionary scale.

judge brown got off easy -- usually he kills women.

i figure he thinks he's entitled to do and say whatever he wants, in that he'll be spending eternity in hell anyway.

Let's review some of Ted Kennedy's history...

His parents made their money on booze (illegally).
His papa bought elections. (OK, he couldn't control who his parents were).
He's done more coke and drank more booze than anyone I know. (OK, I've led a sheltered life. hehehe).
He got kicked out of Harvard for cheating (on an exam).
He killed his mistress (and gets away with it).
And now he calls my wife, relatives, friends, etc. "Neanderthals."

Stellar performance for a caring liberal.

Sen. Kennedy must be censured and removed from the senate for this appalling and shameful racist slander.

[StriperSniper]

And that wasn't all:

Noting that Thanksgiving is coming up, Kennedy called on Bush to release his "right-wing turkeys."

[Eric in the Ozarks]

May I be the first to offer Ted some remedial swim lessons...

[F.J. Mitchell]

If Bush Appointees really were Neanderthals, their species on Kennedy and Byrds side of the Isle in the Senate would be singing their praises and approving them as fast as possible.

When it comes to the approval of Judges, the Liberal Democrats may as well hang up a sign stating: "Non-sonovabitches need not apply!" THat is what their actions are making perfectly clear.

[JustAnAmerican]

The Dims are headed far left just as fast as they can. They realize at this point that being "Moderate" will not get them any votes, so it's an all out race to the left.And they are willing to do and say anything because to the lefties they can do no wrong. Remember to be a leftist you have to be either

(1) An utter idiot and or
(2)A power hungry Megalomaniac.

Redheads 'Are Neanderthals'

[WaterDragon]

The Democrats are again becoming BLATANT about their racism! There's only one word for them -- arrogance. Calling minority judges 'neanderthals' reminds me of what Democrats used to feel free to say about Blacks -- that they 'weren't quite human.' I remember very well hearing those words.

[AmericaUnited]

Teddy's been talking under the influence a lot lately.

[Congressman Billybob]

Well now, let's see what we have. The Neanderthals were fat, stupid, hairy and treated their women like dirt. Eventually, they were pushed from the public stage by human beings, who were smarter and more able.

I will concede that Teddy Kennedy is an expert on Neanterthals, and may be the last surviving member of the tribe. I question, however, his judgment that any of Bush's judicial nominees are like him. The only unknown factor in the comparison of Teddy to the Neanderthals is the drinking habits of those early hominoids. Ah well, no analogy is ever perfect.

"Kennedy's overtly racist language..."

His mind is going. A lifetime of alcoholism will do that. He won't be in the Senate too much longer.

[sweetliberty]

Why are these seditious reprobates not being tried for treason? It is WAY overdue! Maybe it is time for a new letter writing, phoning campaign by the people. Maybe the PEOPLE need to generate a NEW campaign issue for the next election. I, for one, have had enough of the RATs and their obstruction and their promotion of Marxist/communist ideology! I have had enough of the stranglehold they've had on the judiciary and enough of their seething hatred thinly veiled by political correctness. I have had enough of their contempt for my faith, for my southern heritage and for my patriotism. I have had enough of their vicious attacks on our president and of their belittling of our troops who fight to keep us safe. I have had enough of their compromising our elections with voter fraud. I have had enough of the media that gives them license and a platform to perpetuate their lies and manipulate the ignorant and I have had enough of their indoctrination of the young to insure the ignorance of future generations. I have had enough of them calling murder a choice and perversion an alternative.

Our liberty was not won by sniveling cowards, but by the courageous resolve of men and women who stood defiantly in the face of their enemies. The time has come where the "noble opposition" has mutated into the "enemy within" and we had better get busy cleaning our own house before we have no house left to clean!
