Kennedy to be buried at Arlington - What a Travesty!

ABC news

[AUH2O Repub]

Just heard on noon news that Kennedy will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. What an insult to our troops!

[ari-freedom]

“He should be buried at sea.”

that’s how Israel dealt with Eichmann (may his name and memory be blotted out). they cremated him and cast his ashes out to sea so that there could be no future memorial and that no nation would serve as his final resting place

[Shqipo]

Furious over this one.

[Tainan]

A PFC is as high as he could have gone in 2 years.

NOT that I am a Swimmer Supporter - Them’s just the Army regs.

[Shimmer1]

I’m VERY upset about this, it’s just WRONG and I don’t care who else is there, he does not deserve this kind of honor!

[Karliner]

He should be buried at sea. Chappaquiddick.

I'm glad I scrolled down a bit before being so redunadnt however it sounds like feelings are mutual

You mean like JFK....it has been said he is not in that Arlington grave. His body was put in a steel coffin and flown out in the Atlantic and dumped. Why? Didn’t won’t anyone to ever exhume the body and let the American people see what a farce the Warren Commission was.

[Citizen Soldier]

I know my daddy and uncle are turning over in their graves in Arlington right now. At least they are far away from the place where teddy will be.

That is an interesting conspiracy theory. Never heard of that one. I have never been that interested in the Kennedy’s. I was a small child when JFK was assassinated. They seemed to be largely a media creation from beginning to end imho. They were mythologized far beyond their real accomplishments. Much like they are doing with Obama now. In reality, they were nothing more than left winged, RICH progressives with a seedy past, questionable judgements and juicy tabloid lives.

Did The Swimmer ever do any military service?

Pubic Service only...

[Responsibility2nd]

Your father and your uncle served America in our armed forces?

They deserve the honor of resting at Arlington.

Fat Teddy should be hauled like a beached whale out back to sea.

[FDNYRHEROES]

Arlington?

Teddy's last act of "in-your-face" defiance...On the other hand, the history of Arlington is such that it was chosen as a national cemetary as an everlasting act of "in-your-face" defiance to Robert E. Lee...

[shield]

That’s what some very well connected people have said. Dig up the body and you’ll not find JFK in it...an empty casket.

[OrioleFan]

In Ted Kennedy’s honor, car dealers from around the country will drive Cash for Clunkers Oldsmobiles into the reflecting pool in Washington.

[GVnana]

A Kennedy family spokesman reports that the remaining members of the clan will gather at the Hyannis Port compound for a televised session of water sports in honor their uncle.

Cruel, I know. But hey.

Best post of the day. Remarkable how the commie war room of the MSM/DNC/Hollywood/Academia have been propagandizing us for 40 years running...scary really. What don't we know? How much of history has been manipulated for us?

[Tench_Coxe]

Maybe he should be buried upside down in an Oldsmobile.

[Swede Girl]

Yes, I well remember that comment he made concerning Iraq. I wanted to slap him....that arrogant spoiled brat. I thought to myself at the time that he was LONG overdue for retirement, but Massachusetts would NEVER agree. They would have to carry him out, and that is what happened.

I echo all that has been said by his critics. He was a disgrace, and without his name he would not have been elected as a career politician.

In my opinion, the only times he met the mark were when he spoke at the funerals of his family members. He always spoke well, and it was obvious that he had much to carry on his shoulders. My sympathy for him would disappear, however, as soon as I saw him in action in DC again.

His grave will be visited in Arlington, but never out of respect by the majority. It will just be out of curiosity.

[napscoordinator]

He served in the military so he is eligible.

[Rastus]

“Pouring one out for Teddy.”

“But, you’re not carrying a beer!”

“I already drank it.”

[roses of sharon]

Big deal, he was in the Army for a few years...he is polluting Arlington because he is a Kennedy, and a Democrat/Commie.
