Kennedy’s smear of Judge Bork on the US Senator floor:

“Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens’ doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens for whom the judiciary is — and is often the only — protector of the individual rights that are the heart of our democracy....”

I’m afraid you’re right about that. Rats can’t pass up the opportunity to use a death to advance their agenda.

Good Riddance to a man who murdered and got away with it because
he was "CONNETCTED".

A Murderer got away. How will History portray this vermin?

SEE-YA TED, And Fire Water Speed! COWARD!

I know he has family who love him. He was a very flawed man from a very charged background and a less than good character daddy and grew up in the shadow of great expectations never ever living up to them.

I dunno. Ted was always the little boy in the shadows trying to catch up to the big shots he followed as siblings...

I have nothing positive for any Kennedy I can think of...they are my culture war foes but I do have sympathy for the tragedies they have suffered ...and caused.

What a mess of family to be called Camelot....still though prayers for all concerned. It is over.

Trust the rats to use this guy’s death as a political prop for their socialist health care schemes. Maybe they’ll have a big rally at his funeral, like they did with Wellstone.

Regardless of how you feel about him, a piece of history is gone.
