I MISSED this news until a few minutes ago when I
turned on WBAP Talk Radio 820 AM on the dial.

Mark Davis is talkin’ ‘bout this.

So sorry for the LATE MEGA Ping!

Ping! Ping! Ping!

Saw posted on DRUDGE.

May he RIP.

Now the circus begins.

Would be curious how much the Government is going to pay his wife for the rest of her life.

What were the choices and cost of Ted's end of life Government Paid Care.

Will Obamacare give the rest of us who have paid Kennedy's bills the kind of benefits???

Millions of Vietnamese and Mary Jo have greeted him and sent him on his way down — way down.

It will be my great pleasure to p!ss on his grave if I get the chance.

ted, you commie murderer — the world is better off without you.

Now that the last of that evil family is gone, our national nightmare is finally over.

Thats OK, people need to sleep sometimes

Everyone needs to remain civil about this, and I have it on good authority that the Admin Mods have received "special" posting guidelines for these very serious "Death Threads" against US Senators here at FR. Here is that secret memo that I obtained through very great risk to my person. If you never hear from me again after this, just address messages to me, care of Club Gitmo, "FR Special Annex". They'll know where to find me...

SUBJ: Special posting guidelines for Ted Kennedy "Death Threads"

All right Troops, listen up! I have had repeated "Twitters" from Michele Malkin overnight demanding that I take steps here at Free Republic to keep the talk about the death of Senator Ted Kennedy civil. She tells me that there is a serious increase in the incidences of "death threads" about US Senators and demands that I lay down some rules in advance of any problems. I will be watching these FR "Death threads" very closely over the coming days and I want you all to do the same, and we want to avoid any unpleasant statements on these sad days leading up to Senator Kennedy's funeral. In that spirit, let me provide some special posting guidelines for these "Death Treads" here at FR.

Members reflecting that the Senator is no need of embalming fluid would be considered "unpleasant".

But a politely worded inquiry from a Member asking if it is true that the Senator's cremation will only require a wick and a match would be acceptable, abet close to the edge.

However, any suggestion by any member at FR that the Senator should be "buried at pond" will be severely frowned upon.

I hope this helps. Thank you for a brief moment of your time but really I must go, as I suddenly have this funny craving for some Chivas Regal and a Polish Secretary.

Thank you for your continued support of Free Republic.

Due to my disrespect for this subhuman murderer, I have tried to avoid all threads, so:

Thanks for the ping Meek. My sister was online early this morning and let me know because I hadn’t seen tv or heard the radio yet. My condolences to the Kennedy family as they grieve his passing.

[Americanwolf]

He is still dead Jim!

[ml/nj]

Lots of people died yesterday. Most of them were not a threat to me or my country. I mourn their passing.

The TV is turned off for the day. It was better when they were obsessing over Michael Jackson.

[Canadian Outrage]

Not to be disrepectful MOG but I don’t care. Ted Kennedy has been an absolute menaace his entire political life. Now, I do respect that his family is mourning and wish them well but I’m not moved. CO

[Feckless]

I heard it last night and slept the peaceful sleep of justice. Then I got up and wore my Dead Kennedys tshirt to work. I stopped at the Walmart bakery and got a cake with “Rot in Hell Teddy!” on it and put it in our break room. A good time was had by all.......

My Mom taught me that if you can't say anything nice then don't speak.

Therefore, I'm not saying anything about the Chappaquiddick Kid's death, 'cause I got nothing nice to say.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Well, it would be hypocritical of me to say that I'm sorry to hear about his passing. I honestly don't care – I know it's wrong not to care about someone – but I simply don't have a sympathetic reaction. They guy was a bad apple.

The blood from the death of an innocent woman was on his hands, and he escaped severe criminal punishment and the people of his state enabled him, returning him to the US Senate for decades.  On the contrary, he enjoyed the adulation and admiration of the media, and from many in the public at large.  He was treated like royalty and had exercised his government power for way too many years.

I know God is going to judge him, but that's not to say that he shouldn't face accountability on earth for his deeds.  He deserves more than just some criticism, in my opinion. Let God judge his eternal soul, and let us remember what he did during his time on earth.
