June 9, 2002 -- MICHAEL Skakel's family and their lawyers abandoned him. They threw him away. They didn't have compassion or love for the convicted killer of Martha Moxley. He was just someone who could tarnish the family name.

They victimized Michael, and in doing so, they created most of the evidence that convicted him.

The Kennedy family is responsible for ruining alot of lives....the fruits of elitism.

[freedom4ever]

They are kind of like the Clinton's when it comes to ruining those lives. I wouldn't want to be around any of them.

Powerful stuff... but the truth always is.

I hope Furhman sets his sights on DC next.

The Foster “suicide” and the Levy “disappearance/murder”.

Maybe he can show how the DC police are just a bunch of fat, union hacks!

When I was very young I would go to fundamentalist
churches and tent revivals with my grandparents way
out in the country when I would visit for summer vacation.
It was hot muggy Texas nights with no air-conditioning. I
tell you a whole lot of fire came from those pulpits
in those days. I remember an old preacher who said the
sins of the Kennedy Father "Joe" was being visited on
the "Sons"! this was just after Pres. Kennedy was
assassinated. Joe was notorious for his part in the
collapse of stock market in 29 and his "Rum" Running"! I
I have heard the Kennedy get a nickel from every bottle of
Scotch sold in the USA. I also know alcohol has ravaged
that family.I think those old preachers knew a thing or two.
Don't you?

Don't forget Rose who said (paraphrased);
There's a saying in the Kennedy clan - it's not what you do, it's how you fare.

This was in response to Teddy boy's chances of running for higher office (president?) after driving into a bay and leaving a young lady in his car to die.

In other words, how one gets away with it all. A great philosohy to raise kids with! Or, crime is in the eye of the spin lawyers and protectors. Sound familiar?

Perhaps the S.B.Sirhan and L.H.Oswald lads were raised the same. They just didn't "fare" as well. Nor did a few others in the 'clan'.

"I think those old preachers knew a thing or two. Don't you?"

Yes, I do.

"Someone should go after the parents, attorneys and neighbors. These people actually ruined this man's life. Had he confessed, he probably would have gotten two years in a secure hospital facility. He might have gotten help. He might have done something with his life."

Unmitigated bulls**t.

This animal bludgeoned a young girl to death........viciously. HE did it, not his family or his attorney. HE committed murder.

It just took forever for the wheels of justice to turn. This article's a load.

[Libloather]

The voters of Massachusetts keep electing a killer. Go after them as well...

[NewCenturions]

I agree. He did not just 'accidentally' kill her by knocking her head into a tree or such. He repeatedly beat her head with a golf club. His troubles started long before that night of the murder.

Mass. bumper sticker:

"Hey Clinton, you should have had Teddy drive Monica home."

[Miss Marple]

Actually, if you think about it, Fuhrman is turning the whining about victims back on the family. There is a thread called "The House of Skakel" from the Boston Globe posted here this morning, which portrays them as a disfunctional family caused by the mother's death and the father's absence. It is the usual "it's nobody's fault, poor us" article.

Fuhrman does have his facts correct. If they hadn't covered up the crime 27 years ago, Michael Skakel would have been sent through the juvenile system and rehabbed (whether that would be successful or not is another story).

Also, I like pointing out how the entire family is more concerned with their name than the family members. I especially like the dissing of Ethel Kennedy.

So, although you are quite correct about Michael Skakel being the one who did the crime and should receive punishment, this article is a nice bomb thrown at the entire family, Skakels and Kennedys.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Elsewhere I read..."Kennedy Clan Shaken by verdict."

I'd prefer the Kennedy Clan be Shaking! ........starting at the top of the dung heap with the...

GELATINOUS MURDERING MISOGYNNIST ..............TUBBY!

..........and on down the feeding chain of PATHETIC TRUST FUND KENNEDY RAPISTS!

Other than that, I have no strong feelings on the topic.

Don't forget the famous words of Old Joe:

"It's not who you are; it's who they think you are."

[SamAdams76]

So what is this article trying to say? That Michael Skakel isn't the killer? If not, then who?

[friendly]

"Someone should go after the ...attorneys.... These people actually ruined this man's life"

Attorneys damage all of our lives. They are a class of highly educated criminals in $2000 suits, members of the corrupt and evil lawyer industry.

[Theodore R.]

And this "killer" gets substantial GOP support in MA. If I am not mistaken, the GOP even left him nominally unopposed in the last election. Republicans fear the Kennedys, always have, always will. For instance, Nixon felt inadequate in the presence of his intellectual inferior, JFK.

[HoHoeHeaux]

I would love to see Fuhrman take on Ted Kennedy and get the Kopekne..??? case reopened. I do think Kennedy is a good legislator, but the fact is, he was criminally negligent, at the very least, in that woman's death.

[texasbluebell]

Joe Kennedy sold his soul to the devil in his early years (just as the clintons did) and his family will always pay the price. They're cursed, I think. They seem to have it all materially, but their souls are dark.
