They are saying what a "great American" he is.

He is among the top three.

“7. He swam to shore and walked back to the party, after passing several houses and a fire station. Then two friends returned with him to the scene of the accident. According to their later testimony, they told him what he already knew, that he was required by law to immediately report the accident to the authorities. Instead Kennedy made his way to his hotel, called his lawyer, and went to sleep. Kennedy called the police the next morning and by then the wreck had already been discovered. Before dying, Kopechne had scratched at the upholstered floor above her head in the upside-down car. The Kennedy family began “calling in favors,” ensuring that any inquiry would be contained. Her corpse was whisked out-of-state to her family, before an autopsy could be conducted. Further details are uncertain, but after the accident Kennedy says he repeatedly dove under the water trying to rescue Kopechne, and he didn’t call police because he was in a state of shock. It is widely assumed Kennedy was drunk, and he held off calling police in hopes that his family could fix the problem overnight. Since the accident, Kennedy’s “political enemies” have referred to him as the distinguished Senator from Chappaquiddick. He pled guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, and was given a SUSPENDED SENTENCE OF TWO MONTHS. Kopechne’s family received a small payout from Kennedy’s insurance policy, and never sued. There was later an effort to have her body exhumed and autopsied, but her family successfully fought against this in court, and Kennedy’s family paid their attorney’s bills a “token of friendship”?”.

NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN. Someone needs to send this to Chris Matthews who nearly cries at the mention of this scumbag’s name. OOOOps. Did I call a man with brain cancer a scumbag? I meant to call him a NO GOOD SCUMBAG.

I recall that Kennedy was also the person who first thought up the Democrat strategy of repeatedly filibustering Bush's judicial nominees for ideological reasons.

Can’t ever really forgive the Hart-Cellar Act which changed the demographics of the nation forever...

Forget the booze, women, drugs and assorted car wrecks and tax evasion...

This guy allowed the US to move towards a 3rd World nation.

If any of your ancestors were here prior to 1900, you should be ENRAGED, like me.

The people of Massachusetts forgot a long time ago. This would be blasphemy to a lot of them.

I have never figured out how that could happen.

The left’s icons are typical of Kennedy.

Lawbreaking, lying, cheating unpatriotic trash.

A more fitting death for ol Ted would be to die from choking on his own vomit while in a state of near alcohol poisoning and with urine stained pants around his ankles.

Well, after he dies he will spend eternity in hell.

All the wonderful press and public Prayers won't save his damned soul.
