Good for the kid! I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall.
Kennedy survived Chappaquiddick politically in large measure due to the fact his two older brothers had died tragically at the hand of assassins ... Robert in June 1968 and JFK in November 1963. The Chappaquiddick incident occurred July 1969, people, particularly in MA, tended to be in a forgiving mood as the death of Ted's two older brothers were fresh in people's minds. However, and rightfully so, Kennedy has to live with the legacy of essentially killing a young women thru irresponsible and negligent behavior ...
A few days ago, the Washington State Democratic Party chairman compared Cheney's behavior after the shooting with Kennedy's at Chappaquiddick, saying that both men behaved the same. What a lying SOB, and of course the Seattle P.I. let his comments go unchallenged.
If this had been a liberal protestor nothing would have happened to him and the college would have chalked it up to free speech. Liberals are all about double standards.
remember Juanita, too.
Ever wonder why rapists and murderers are the exalted leaders of the democrats?
And KKK creeps.
How ironic that campus activism started out as a "Free Speech" movement at Berkeley in the early 60's. The Left doesn't want free speech, they want control.
They asked Senator Kennedy if he would run for the Presidency in 2008. He replied: "err, aaaagh...I'll drive off that bridge when I come to it!"
There's a chill wind blowing...
Ted Kennedy has long been banking on the fact that the years would erase the truth.
I see some light finally being shone on many of the distortions and coverups from the left. Taping these elitist profs during class, non-indoctrination websites, strong College Republican Clubs on campus, and a now a shout-out to Kennedy. Awesome!
So many people---especially journalists---keep telling us that Kennedy reported the accident eventually. He didn't. Someone else found the car and reported the accident.
Thank you MSM....
If you've ever been to Chappaquidick and to Dyke's Pond Bridge you will be amazed. Swiimming across the "channel" to MARTH'A VINEYARD would have taken some time (normally it's a ferry ride, the one seen in Jaws) and some effort.
Conversely, the car would have been right off the very short bridge and could have easily been reached by even a poor swimmer.
thank you. major ping!
Kudos to this kid! I can't believe they sent the cops after him and threatened to discipline him. What about all the foulmouthed students who heckle conservative speakers, and nothing is done? What about the filthy lesbian Vagina Momologues being enacted on campuses everywhere?
Is free speech a right exclusively assigned to the Left?
I'd rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than EVER get in a car with Ted Kennedy.
>>>Kennedy has been under the protection of Greenpeace<<<
ROFL! Where is Captain Ahab when you need him?
As I remember, phone records indicated a large number of phone calls from the place where Kennedy was staying after he got back there that night after the accident.
If he could make those phone calls, why couldn't one of them been to the police about the accident?
Ewwwwwww, there goes my appetite.
