At Least McCarthy Had A Point

Kennedy is not excusable. What an execrable pile of weasal dung. What drinking water contaminant makes a rational adult vote for this man?

[Atlas Sneezed]

Is there a transcript excerpt that best illustrates what this discusses?

why they camm 'em "massholes" they keep releecting this embarassment

"What drinking water contaminant makes a rational adult vote for this man?"



Read H.P. Lovecraft's "The colour out of space" very carefully, particularly the last few paragraphs. You will find your answer.

Senator McCarthy had something that utterly eludes The Bay State Breeze Bag and Chappaquiddick Nautical Chauffer. Senator McCarthy had a point.

One other important point: Senator McCarthy was right.

[ClearCase_guy]

Comparisons to McCarthy are apt. In many ways, this is playing out like the Army Hearings when Senator Welch said to McCarthy, "At long last, sir, have you no shame?"

Making Alito's wife cry and trying so hard to smear an honorable man just exposes the Democrats for the beasts they have become.

Very nice summation of the whole Kennedy brouhaha.

One thing that I think is overlooked is that the actions of Kennedy, Schumer, Biden, etc. have to be viewed in the context of their neverending fundraising positioning. They are throwing the DU/MoveOn.Org knuckleheads some teething bisquits to gnaw on, in the hopes that they’ll fill a diaper full of cash for them.

Also, congratulations to Arlen Specter for growing a set yesterday.

Fortunately for the nation as a whole, Chairman Arlen Specter decided he enjoyed being Chairman and that Senator Kennedy would make a poor substitute if Specter allowed a coup. He informed Senator Kennedy that there would be no pointless fishing expeditions into decades old documents from defunct college alumni societies.

This article makes a valid point with respect with Ted Kennedy. However, he is trapped by his own leftist indoctrination when he claims that Senator Joseph McCarthy "threw the book" at Lucille Ball. McCarthy was not involved with the issue of Communist infiltration of the entertainment industry. That area was conducted by the House Committee on Un-American Activities. As far as Lucille Ball goes, I do not believe she was blackballed as a result of her membership in a Communist organization in the 1930s. Her career continued unabated in television, fading away inly when her style of humor lost public favor in the 1980s. Lucille Ball said that she had only joined to please her grandfather, who had belonged to the IWW, a predecessor to the Communist Party in America. In any case, I believe her political views were quite conservative in the 1960s and thereafter.

The basic point that McCarthy made was true: our government was riddled with Communists. Read Ann Coulter's "Treason" for enough details to convince anyone.

There is no basis for the smears and guilt-by-association these Dimmycraps are trying to stick on Alito, or "Alioto," as Chappquiddick Teddy calls him.

>>>>>>>As he was questioning Alito about his membership in Concerned Alumni of Princeton, Kennedy's staff handed out copies of a December 22, 2005, letter to Specter in which Kennedy demanded that the committee review documents related to CAP in the papers of William Rusher (the longtime National Review publisher) at the Library of Congress. "Do you have any hesitancy or reason for us not to look at those documents?" Kennedy asked Alito.

"They're not my documents, Senator," Alito said, "and I have no opinion about it whatsoever."

"Do you think they'd be helpful?"

"Senator, I don't believe I had any active involvement with this group."

At that point, Kennedy moved that the committee take a vote — which requires that it go into something called executive session — to issue a subpoena for the papers. Specter, clearly caught by surprise, didn't know what was going on. "Well, we'll consider that, Senator Kennedy," he said. "There are many, many requests which are coming to me and many quarters. And, quite candidly, I view the request — if it's really a matter of importance, you and I see each other all the time and you have never mentioned it to me."

But you got a letter from me, Kennedy said. No, I didn't, Specter answered. The two men began to bicker. "If I'm going to be denied, then I'd appeal the decision of the chair," Kennedy said. "I think we are entitled to this information. It deals with the fundamental issues of equality and discrimination."

I'm not denying anything, Specter answered, saying it was time to move on. No, said Kennedy, I want a vote. "And if I'm going to be denied that, I'd want to give notice to the chair that you're going to hear it again and again and again and we're going to have votes of this committee again and again and again until we have a resolution."

"Well, Senator Kennedy," Specter said, "I'm not concerned about your threats to have votes again, again and again. And I'm the chairman of this committee and I have heard your request and I will consider it. And I'm not going to have you run this committee and decide when we're going to go into executive session."

As the two men fought, word began to circulate among reporters that the papers had already been seen, by New York Times reporter David Kirkpatrick, who had done a story back in November on Alito and CAP.<<<<<

He can't get his facts straight on "Alioto", why should he say his name correctly either.

E. Coli?

[.cnI redruM]

Which makes this even worse. These disgusting people use their position to cater to some of the most deranged and ultimately anti-American elements our society has to offer.

[TBP]

Senator McCarthy was right.

Can't be said enough.

[TBP]

Kennedy is not excusable.

"Adn, ah, when I retuhned, both, ah, Mary Jo and the, ah, caaaaaah were gone."

[.cnI redruM]

He must have had his watering holes mixed up again. What a pile of human scum. Jabba The Hut has more charisma and appeal.

[.cnI redruM]

Only after Senator Swill goes for a drive and ends up floating in the resevior. The man is repugnant.

Could be....:)

"unlike Senator Kennedy was fighting an enemy that really existed, and actively sought the demise of The United States."


in the longer run they may actually win as Kennedy (et al) has become the one actively pursuing the demise of The United States and sits in its own Senate.
