"I don't really understand what would have led Teddy Kennedy to become a Communist patsy"
I have a theory that may provide some insight into that which I posted on a previous story about the Cape Cod Orka's dance with Communism…money…filthy luger.
Don't know if you were aware of this…I remember reading about Teddy's money problems in: The Senator: My Ten Years with Ted Kennedy, by Richard E. Burke…the next thing I read in Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy, by Peter Schweizer that he's got Family Royalty Trusts set up in FIJI…"drag a dolla bill down a HYANNISPORT beach…you never know what you'll attract".

excerpted…
Maurice Tempelsman, a diamond broker who served as an agent of influence for the Angolan Communist regime, secured the companionship of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who, for a number of years served as his mistress. Tempelsman was able to use this relationship, in combination with the Angolan oil payoffs to the Kennedy family to secure a completely pro-Communist Angolan policy by the new administration of Bill Clinton, which arranged for U.N. sanctions and follow-up U.S. sanctions on the anti-Communist UNITA freedom fighters led by Jonas Savimbi.
