Another round of declassified FBI files on Senator Ted Kennedy has been released (click here and here). Fittingly, in Kennedy's case, they are as troubling as they are amusing, once again raising all sorts of questions, from the moral to the political to issues of national security. And as usual, they are also frustrating, knowing that with Kennedy's death in August 2009, and the lifelong protection of the man by a scandalously biased media, the late senator was able to escape these questions all the way to the grave, never needing to account for them -- at least in this lifetime and this world.
With that strong start, allow me to first pause with a softer, sympathetic touch. Among the documents within Kennedy's 2,200-page FBI file are materials from the mid-1960s on various lunatics threatening to shoot the newly elected senator, who in 1962 had filled the Senate seat vacated by his presidential brother. Reading those pages is a sad process, particularly as they move from not only Ted as target but to his brother Bobby as well. And then, it all strikes home -- like a punch to the gut -- when you suddenly happen upon a June 6, 1968 Western Union telegram, sent directly to J. Edgar Hoover, which states simply: "PLEASE MAKE CERTAIN THAT TED KENNEDY GETS ALL THE PROTECTION HE NEEDS WE ARE DOWN TO ONE KENNEDY THANKS."
Bobby was gone, the same manner as John before him, and now Ted was left as a living target. I don't care how much of a legitimate beef conservatives might have against Ted Kennedy and his actions and policies and politics; this has got to elicit your sympathy. That telegram chills your bones.
As to the politics, however,

While no one should want sen kennedy hurt, he was a worthless, America-undermining piece of work. The whole kennedy family was (and is) a stain on this country. Camelot? I think not so much.
Ted is dead and no one cares. The DBM simply will not let the country know what scum he was. Probably even the worms avoid him...
Mercifully, the Kennedy dynasty is over. What is also sad is how many of the younger Kennedys followed old Uncle Ted into the abyss. The term spoiled brats doesn’t cover it all.
That is like running out of cancer.
And the Kennedys are more special than others because?.........Oh yeah, follow the money.
“PLEASE MAKE CERTAIN THAT TED KENNEDY GETS ALL THE PROTECTION HE NEEDS WE ARE DOWN TO ONE KENNEDY THANKS.”
No one was after Teddy Boy. He appeased his tormentors
well. He was in no “daynga”.
Ted’s desire to seek out leftists, makes me wonder about his brothers.
Was Ted an anomaly or did his brother’s also have Communist leanings?
Today we have the Northeast getting cheap fuel oil thanks to Chavez and his Kennedy connections.
Ted was one of the top guns for a Socialist Obamacare plan, and Orrin Hatch says , he just loved the guy.
His Royal Highness, the: Prince of Pork, Duke of Dewers, Baron of Au Bar, Lord of Lies, Count of Chappaquiddick, Co-Inventor of the Waitress Sandwich, Master of Mooch, Captain of the SS Oldsmobile, etc., etc., etc.
I prefer to look at the bright side. Word is that Ed Lardo's fat a$$ was buried near an ant den, the casket leaked, and he is finally doing some good.
While no one should want sen kennedy hurt.......
THANK GOD HE’S DEAD!
“THANK GOD HE’S DEAD”
And burning in Hell.
I feel sorry for Teddy. I really do. “I’ll just tell the police that there was a Japanese destroyer trying to run over the car. Maybe I’ll be President!”
And let the RATS raise a stink. Just through fatso's FBI file in their face and tell them to go to hell.
