I heard him lauded as a “champion of the poor and downtrodden” -

well, he, typical of most liberals, certainly didn’t sacrifice any of HIS lifestyle in order to help out the poor and downtrodden,

but he sure pointed the guns of government at a lot of people who actually were EARNING their wealth instead of inheriting it,

and made THEM “care” about the poor.

And that my friend is evil. Plain, naked, smirking evil as Rand so well put it.

Why should we celebrate and eulogize those who would make slaves of us all?

Mother Teresa was a champion of the poor and downtrodden. Ted..... I'm not so sure. He could have dedicated some of his rather large family fortune to charitable acts, or trusts or foundations. Instead his version of helping the poor and downtrodden was picking my pocket and giving it to them, or government agencies.
