Tax-cut ad citing JFK irks Kennedys

Boston Globe ^ | 5/9/2003

"I resemble that remark!"

[texasbluebell]

The DEMONCRATS are free to use Kennedy as much as they want, they don't OWN his words, what fools they are.

The kennedy klan must have gotten this idea from ML King's family. Didn't they refuse to allow some footage or a quote from one of MLK's speeches a while back? What nonsense.

See, we have it all wrong giving undue praise to JFK... what we really need to see is:

Drunk driving ads citing Chappaquiddick irks Kennedys

[ladyinred]

President Kennedy's own words, spoken by him are being used. How can they possibly object? As a former President of the United States, his speeches belong to us, not just the family. JFK was no Teddy.

[Lancey Howard]

How about the ad "If Mary Jo Kopeckne were alive today, she would have wanted a tax cut".

LOL!!!

Or...

"When Bobby Kennedy was Chief Counsel for Senator Joe McCarthy (fact), he wanted to cut taxes for everybody except the communists."

Did you happen to hear the woman who called Rush Limbaugh's show this week, freaking out about this? It was both hilarious and sick at the same time - she admitted not understanding economic issues at all, but she was borderline hysterical over the fact that Republicans might benefit from something JFK said.

Rush could NOT reason with her. Typical Democrat.

I say PLAY THAT AD!

ROFLMAO! What Would MaryJo Do? I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.........

[nothingnew]

LOL! Please don't hold back...how do ya really feel about ol' Red Ted? ;)

I...I...realy can't post that here...I would like to run into this a-hole, and knock him down, (which would probably be impossible, 'cause webills wobble but they don't fall down),and rip his head off and sh*t down his frikkin' neck.

My apologies to anyone I may have offended...Now if you really want to know what I think about this POS, Private Mail to me.......BWAHAHAHAAA!

The family of President Kennedy objected yesterday to the use of his name or image in ads touting President Bush's tax cut package.

The truth hurts, don't it? It's too bad they don't like it, but it is public knowledge, and pronouncements of Presidents are there for anyone to cite at any time. They just hate the thought that something JFK said might ultimately help Pres. Bush!

ROFL! Too funny! Not a bad idea, either! I'd love to see someone outside ol' lardbutt Teddy's office holding a sign that said that. Oh, to see his face when he read it. Brilliant!

[cajun-jack]

the kennedy bros..1 swam into the presidency and history as an honorable man. The other swam into the senate and history as a drunken fool.

[green team 1999]

is me or the rats are these few days crying just about everything!

[sheik yerbouty]

He should be made to be irked as often as possible.

[CyberAnt]

From 90 to 70; Reagan took it from 70 to 38 - that's why we had so many years of prosperity.

Senator Teddy, wearing his controversial neck brace, leaves St. Vincent's Church with his wife, Joan, after the funeral Mass for Mary Jo Kopechne.

What Would Mary Jo Do? I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.........

Now that's funny.
