I know there have been some threads on this, but I cannot find any that dwell on this particular facet of ignorance on the part of the Senior Balloon from Massachusetts (Sadly, my home state)

The thing that I find MOST delicious about this is that there can be only a few explanations for this particularly tasty error:

1.) The error was not noticed by the Boston Globe staff when they reviewed it. This reason is most entertaining, because it shows them to be complete idiots, particularly since communism is the ideology they seem to be most sympathetic to. Additionally, the liberals like to paint themselves as more refined and educated. Yeah, right.

2.) The error was noticed, but they did not contact Swimmer Ted. For what reason, I don't know...maybe they thought he would get pissed at them, or maybe someone wanted to stab him in the back.

3.) The error was noticed, and they couldn't find Fat Teddy to let him know, and due to deadlines, posted it anyway so they didn't get scooped or something.

4.) Op-ed pieces are never screened for gross errors of spelling or factuality.

Poor Teddy, has such a poor understanding of American government, he gets it backwards that if he does not like the President using the authority he already has, then he should pass a law to prohibit the egregious behavior.

I understand a spokesperson for the senior slug from Massachusetts, used the Dan Rather defense, that while the facts were false, the underlying story was true.

Maybe the kids story was a lie , but it was factual.

Facts are not relevant when a lib is [attempting to] make a point. It's for a good cause, don't get sidetracked by details such as truth and facts.

All the voters of the Massachusetts apparently need to know is his name is Kennedy - at least a substantial number of them.

I'm surprised they haven't petitioned the Pope to have John, Bobby, Rose, And the Senior Kennedy Patriarch - the Boorleger - declared saints.

Karl Marx and Frederick Engels

Manifesto of the Communist Party

1848



1- Is Teddy's ghost writer ignorant or just sloppy?

2- Did Teddy dictate the article to a secretary who was ignorant?

3- Is there anyone among Teddy's office staff who actually studied while in college?

4- Was there no one in Teddy's office willing to challenge him on the authorship of "the manual" they all follow so blindly?

5- Is this another demonstration of the ignorance of the Democrats?

6- Is it all Bush's fault?



How can anyone take THAT seriously?
Th-Th-Th-Th-That's all folks.

Chinese version of Mao Tse-tung's Communist Manifesto

Sorry to disagree with your interpretation, but unless Communist Manifesto is italicized, it's a generic phrase, not a specific book. It's a manifesto, it's communist, and it's by Mao.

Fox News reported last night that this student's story had turned out to be false, but that a Kennedy's staff member nevertheless insisted that "although the story itself is not true, it demonstrates the real nature of the Bush administration" - now that's stupid....

5.) Errors are ignored if a.) they are anti-America or anti-Bush, or b.) it's down by a "beautiful person".

Don't forget the porn site pictures that some Marxist Boston City Councilor and cohort purported to be US forces
raping/torturing Iraqis. Reporter said they were bogus. Editors told her to write the story as told by the
activists anyway, and it was printed.

Ah, to be a subsidiary of the New York Slimes.

[Fido969]

What a jackass that guy is.

Half the country is laughing at teddy making a fool of himself again.

And a fair portion of those people are laughing at the idiots in Massachusetts that keep sending that moron back to Washington.

[Ostlandr]

This is just out there on too many levels. The Chappaquiddick U-Boat Commander can't even quote a faked story correctly.

And besides, what self-respecting college library doesn't have dozens of copies of both the Manifesto and Mao's Little Red Book left over from the '60s?

[SALChamps03]

it just goes to show that the Left is so intent on anything that will help them portray the president in a bad light that they either don't check facts or don't care. I suspect it's the latter.

[Dr Snide]

Wow, I for one am shocked. If there is one thing I would expect Ted Kennedy and the Boston Globe editorial page to know it would be their communist literature. Nothing worse than an ignorant communist. Okay, ignorant and communist go hand in hand but you get my point.

[samtheman]

Not to mention that the story of agents going to a student's home in search of a book is (of course) false:

Of course he knows. I'm sure he's spent many nights(and mornings, afternoons) curled up like a manatee with a pint glass of Chivas Regal and the Manifesto
