On Hannity and Colmes, While discussing the requirements of a Supreme Court nominee, Ann just sarcastically noted that it was ok to kill a girl at Chappiquiddic. Colmes said that was a low blow and that comment was below her.
WHY??? WHAT is so darned SACRED about mentioning the truth???
Ann said, "Why..."
Colmes didn't answer, and the set was quiet.
Hannity and Reagan (another guest) should have spoken up.
This is another example of "The Emperor is NAKED!"
I agree.
All the more reason we should not want to be like him.
What an amazing gift you must have that enables you to analyze the hidden psychology of people you have never met, while strangely leaving you unable to address what they have actually posted.
Too funny.
Just what I need. A FR Junior Message Board Shrink.
How would you know this? Are you a close friend?
You're right.
If there is anyone on this board who was driving a car and accidentally killed a friend.... I can come on this board and accuse them and claim that I care much more for their friend than they do, even though I NEVER met them.
This is just amazing.
Your hatred of Ted Kennedy has distorted your ability to think and debate rationally.
"Sorry, but New York State had many red counties, mine included. It's not a BLUE state, even though it's more apt to be in urban areas. Our rural areas voted for Bush."
You're right. Actually, there isn't even one blue state. There are 50 red states, some with more blue in them than others -- but they're all red states.
No, but I've heard him make references to it repeatedly on the radio.
Do you recall what shows did the Carter primary skits? I would assume SNL and their 2nd year was in 76 and probably quite funny because of Carter. Thanks, I will rent it some day.
I can still see the skit in my mind. I think it was SNL. But it's been so many years, I can't say for sure.
You're correct. I apologize.
Questioning the judgement of a man who escapes responsibility in such a manner is to be demanded, not just expected. Individuals with above-normal levels of marijuana cannot be employed as nurses or radiological techs, yet your sentiment keeps this man in office.
Sure. We get what we ask for. I for one am glad Ann Coulter is willing to say what the "conservative" voices will not. Get some stones, republicans.
Yes. That is a big part of what I am saying.
But I think it can actually go beyond that and hurt us politically.
I mean if somebody like me, who despises Ted Kennedy and his politics is shocked and offended by those on the right who constantly bring up Chappaquiddic...what about those in the middle?
I think this reinforces the stereo-type of conservatives as mean-spirited, self-righteous and totally lacking in grace.
We don't need this.
But personally I believe people should be reminded at least once in a while of the crime he got away with. It is the right thing to do, if for nothing else for Mary Jo.
That's fine. And I agree with you.
But I don't want to hear about it everytime his name comes up. To the point his nickname is "the swimmer" and there are cruel jokes about Chappaquidic, that aren't really funny.
That offends me.
It is the very least of what Kennedy, who should have been imprisoned years ago (and still) for what he did to Mary Jo, deserves. Outrageous that Mass citizens have been electing him every year to the Senate. Even more outrageous that he sits on the Judiciary Committee.
I can't believe you would actually characterize the "attention" I've gotten on this topic as "kind".
Unless of course you understand that I find the challenge of being in the minority on an issue and the subsequent message board brawls to be fun.
Still, I really do believe in the positions I take.
And I think there is no better place to have my views tested and challenged than on FR.
Is there something wrong with that?
I only hope there is somebody on board who can translate this tangled mess of a sentence for me.
Come on now. Look at those who are gracious toward others and avoid getting sucked down into this kind of low-life rhetoric.
The kind of people we admire most.
These are people who feel GOOD about themselves.
On the other hand people like Kennedy who spend their lives spewing venom at others are viewed to be unhappy, and personally disturbed. This is typical of a man with a tormented conscience.
No, it's typical of a man with an inferiority complex, it's typical of a man with a huge ego that constantly needs to be satisfied in all kinds of twisted ways, it's typical of a lot of things. But it's not typical of a tormented conscience. Someone who's truly suffering from a guilty conscience will actually try to atone for it by doing good, showing humility, and generally behaving in the exact opposite way that Kennedy does.
I was trying to give you the benefit of a doubt.
The drunken piece of lard from Mass did in fact kill a young woman, then lied about it. Moreover, his rich pals helped him cover it up until he was sober enough to memorize his story for the cops. And this human garbage has the gall to stand in judgment of anyone. And Senator Biden, the caught-in-the-act plagiarist, trashes the honorable Mr. Bolton over his truthfulness. The Democraps have an infinite capacity for hypocrisy. And the leftist lamestream media won't call them on it. Hooray for Coulter.

Sometimes psychology boils down to common sense. NittanyLion gave an OPINION based on your insistence on disagreeing with everyone else through your many posts on the subject. Sure, you have a right to your opinion. And I have the right to suggest you might be seeking attention.
You may take that as "analyzing" you, also. I enjoy a good debate as well as you do. My view is always based on my strong belief in what I'm putting out and sensible reasoning behind it. Sometimes I'm convinced to change my thinking, but not always.
While I don't recall exactly what I thought about Ted K. before this tragedy, enough information was made public in the following days to convince almost anyone of his negligence in trying to save Mary Jo. The whole timeline of what took place that early morning and the days after was on the web; it may still be.
Zero in on this alone: Can you come up with ONE believable reason why he did not go to the closest house and ask for help? And then there's the rest of the story.
