We Need A List of Ted Kennedy's True Legacy
8/26/09 | One Vike

Posted on 08/26/2009 7:29:22 AM PDT by OneVike

The worlds news organizations will not do it, the Democrats won't admit to it, even the Republicans will join in on the sycophantic praising of the man's life. Well, I propose the we start a list of all the bad and evil things Ted Kennedy has brought upon this planet while he lived.

Starting with Chappaquiddick, and on through to the last piece of legislation that was bad for America, and the world. If we don't do it, it will not be done. So let's get our collective minds together and start listing all the evil this man was apart of. Because as I heard a liberal say about a conservative upon his death, death does not wipe out the evil he truly was.

I will start by listing the incident of the young woman he murdered in 1969.

The “Chappaquiddick incident” refers to the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, a former campaign worker for the assassinated U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy of New York.

In July 1969, Kopechne’s dead body was discovered inside an overturned car belonging to Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy of Massachusetts under water in a tidal channel on Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts.



Rest in peace Mary, your killer has finally been brought to justice and he is before the Judge as I type this.

The inquest into Kopechne’s death took place in Edgartown in January 1970. At the request of Kennedy’s lawyers, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ordered that it be conducted in secret. The 763-page transcript of the inquest was released four months later. Judge James A. Boyle presided at the inquest. Among Judge Boyle’s conclusions in his inquest report were the following:

Under Massachusetts law Boyle, having found “probable cause” that Kennedy had committed a crime, could have issued a warrant for his arrest, but he did not do so. District Attorney Dinis chose not to pursue Kennedy for manslaughter, despite Judge Boyle’s conclusions.

Lest we forget Ted Kennedy offering his help to the Soviets in a public relations effort to thwart the reelection of Ronald Reagan.

A KGB letter written at the height of the Cold War shows that Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) offered to assist Soviet leaders in formulating a public relations strategy to counter President Reagan’s foreign policy and to complicate his re-election efforts.

The letter, dated May 14, 1983, was sent from the head of the KGB to Yuri Andropov, who was then General Secretary of the Soviet Union’s Communist Party.

In his letter, KGB head Viktor Chebrikov offered Andropov his interpretation of Kennedy’s offer. Former U.S. Sen. John Tunney (D-Calif.) had traveled to Moscow on behalf of Kennedy to seek out a partnership with Andropov and other Soviet officials, Kengor claims in his book.

At one point after President Reagan left office, Tunney acknowledged that he had played the role of intermediary, not only for Kennedy but for other U.S. senators, Kengor said. Moreover, Tunney told the London Times that he had made 15 separate trips to Moscow.

obama already pimping him:

Obama Hails Kennedy’s Ideas, Ideals, Courage In Face Of Illness
Last update: 8/26/2009 10:22:56 AM
President Barack Obama praised Edward Kennedy’s ideas, ideals and courage in the face of illness, saying the liberal icon, who lost his fight with cancer late Tuesday, was one of the greatest senators of modern time and “one of the most accomplished Americans ever to serve our democracy.”
“His extraordinary life on this earth has come to an end, the extraordinary good that he did lives on,” Obama said in remarks from Oak Bluffs, Mass., where he is vacationing with his family. “For his family, he was a guardian, for America he was a defender of a dream.”
Kennedy, an early backer of Obama’s run for the White House and a crucial ally in the president’s push for a health-care overhaul, died in his home in Hyannis Port, Mass., more than a year after being diagnosed with brain cancer.
Obama, who spoke early Wednesday with Kennedy’s wife Vicki, said his thoughts and prayers are with the late senator’s family.
“His fight has given us the opportunity we were denied when his brothers John and Robert were taken from us: the blessing of time to say thank you and goodbye,” Obama said. “The outpouring of love, gratitude and fond memories to which we’ve all borne witness is a testament to the way this singular figure in American history touched so many lives.”

OK FOLKS ... SHAME ON YOU!

How dare you to not recognize that in DEATH this piece of fat pork
will yield Massachusetts what they desperately crave ... worms will benefit
and the Boston’s “big dig” will have finally realized some true meaning
... life DOES EXIST in a meaningful manner in this liberal STATE.

I hope and pray that the smothering of dirt on his pale face yield some
similarity, and justice, to what he legislated on Mary Jo Kopeckne when
he failed to come to her aid, and let her drown, while “Teddy Bear”
slimed home to have his glass of wine in his plush surroundings of shame!

NOW ... GO CELEBRATE YOUR KENNEDY? ... you Massachusetts Libs?
You kill your young ladies ... and MURDER babies which is what you are MOST proud of!

Yep, while we can mourn his passing, and feel for the family, we can also talk about these other things.

I would list the Immigration Act of 1965, which opened America to large numbers of immigrants from third world countries. At the time, Ted Kennedy was adamant that this new immigration law would not result in major changes to the American population. He said that American cities would not have large isolated immigrant communities. He said that we would not see enclaves of immigrants speaking other languages, and not assimilating. He said we would not see major changes in the predominantly European ethnic background of the population.

I would also add that we now “Bork” judicial nominees because of Ted’s example. At the time Reagan nominated Judge Bork to the Supreme Court, Ted Kennedy gave a forceful speech opposing Judge Bork. Many of us remember he shouted that Judge Bork’s America was a land of back alley abortions, yadda, yadda, yadda. And that set the stage for his nomination hearings to become a circus.

Ted Kennedy was a singular figure in American history. Very few if any, over such a long period, have done more to harm America. But Obama is committed to trying.

“Socialism hasn’t worked in 6,000 years of recorded history because it didn’t have me to run it.” - Ted Kennedy
And despite all his efforts to the contrary, it never worked in America either. Even with him as the Jackal of the Senate trying his best to implement it. May God have mercy on his soul...but we are better as a nation with him permanenetly out of that position of power and influence.

The best epitath for this leftist, socialists, corrupt old man would be for a conservative or at the least a moderate, to be elected to fill his seat by the people of Mass.

Now we have Barrack Hussein Obama and his ilk, who will surely try to use the death of Kennedy to push through the biggest socialization effort in American history - ObamaCare.

We cannot let it happen. Stand firm, speak out, lean into their storm of word and ideologies...and push them back.

Leo Damore, Senatorial Privilege: The Chappaquiddick Cover-up

I’m already tired of him being called the “lion of the senate.”

How about the pig of the senate? That would be more appropriate.

When I heard the news last night all I could think about was Mary Jo Kopechne struggling to breath in the air pocket of Kennedy’s car in the murky depths of Poucha Pond.

Then I thought about who might run for the seat. A nightmarish thought entered my mind: Barney Fwank.

When I tuned into the radio this morning it was announced that a member of “America’s royal family” had passed away. I nearly gagged. A dynasty founded by a bootlegger, gangster, and stock manipulator. A bunch of over rated drug abusers, alcoholics, and philanderers if you ask me.

Oh btw while I’m still at it: Last year when a true giant of the senate, Jesse Helms, passed away, barely a mention in the MSM. But then again Sen. Helms didn’t have the flamboyant lifestyle of the Kennedys.

All I know is this: Ted Kennedy has some splainin to do today.

Let us offer up some prayers for his victims including Mary Jo Kopechne and her unborn baby as well as Ted’s first wife, Joan, who turned to alcoholism as a response to her husband’s ceaseless philandering and callous behavior.

And the MSM-—the biggest disgusting pigs along with Hollyweird which promotes all this crap. I’m surprised there isn’t a reality show on the Kennedys given all of their drama, depravity, and dysfunction.
