Help Hold Ted Kennedy Accountable for His Racially Insensitive Remarks!

Help Hold Ted Kennedy Accountable for His Racially Insensitive Remarks

Once again, the press is giving a Democrat Senator a "pass" on racially insensitive conduct.  If you are unfamiliar with the controversy, click here.  We, the people, must not let Senator Kennedy skate. 

Please help out by taking the following easy steps to get the story out:

1)  Click here to open an email to CORE (the Congress of Racial Equality).  It is time for them to prove they can be effective, and writing to Republicans in Congress is not the answer to this issue.  Of course, please feel free to send this email to any group that is in a position to help on this issue.

2)  Compose an email demanding that Senator Kennedy be held responsible for his conduct.  If you are short on time, a sample email follows:


 

Dear Mr. Innis,

I am writing to you because I am OUTRAGED by Senator Ted Kennedy's insensitive public comments on Friday -- specifically, his calling well-qualified minority judges such as Janice Rogers Brown and Miguel Estrada, African-American and Hispanic respectively, "Neanderthals".  Though Senator Kennedy's comments were unquestionably insensitive, he refuses to apologize -- nor is the "free press" forcing him to apologize.  In fact, it appears that they are once again burying a story merely because pursuing it would hurt a popular Democrat.

If a Republican had made the same comment, his congressional office would have been empty by 12:00pm yesterday afternoon -- and Senators like Ted Kennedy would be calling for blood (and for heads to roll).

CORE's mission, as stated, is "to identify and expose acts of discrimination in the public and private sectors of society. When such an act is uncovered, CORE. . . goes into action."  It is time to go into action.

This blatant bias in the press -- self-imposed press censorship to protect a Democrat Senator -- must not stand, and Senator Kennedy must be held accountable for his reprehensible, hypocritical, insensitive conduct.  Therefore, I call on CORE to immediately and publicly take visible action and call for Senator Kennedy's resignation, as he has once again proved that he is unfit to serve in the United States Senate.  At the minimum, Senator Kennedy must be censured for his atrocious conduct.

Thank you,

YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS


3)  Send it!

4) Click here to send an email to your friends asking them to email CORE as well!  Just compose a message and put your friends email addresses in the TO field.

Good job!

PS  Please check in (or reply with a BUMP) after you send your email so we can get a head count.  Thanks!

Sorry, but you can yell and scream all you want, but when push comes to shove, the fact remains that Drunko is a Kennedy and therefore an untouchable. He is the Godfather of the `rat party and to the liberal slime up in Mass. who have continually re-elected him over and over and over for the past 40 years despite drowning a woman and the 10 billion other things he`s done in those 40 years. The latest it seems, Mr. Drunko being out of control with what he says, most probably due to heavy drinking. You would think that alone would be enough for people of that party to take action against him, but no...They just let him do what he wants. Why? Because he`s a Kennedy. How important is that name? Well, who recently honored him? That name is gold in politics. Ted could murder..oh wait, he already did that, Ted could give a back door for Al Qaida to enter in this country...Oh wait, he already did that (his Muslim exchange program)...Ted could burn down the White House and people would still insist he remain a Senator.

wow, what a 'sunburn'

Ted Kennedy got away with murder, what makes you think anyone will smack him one for a nasty, racist remark? Jeez, Robert Byrd is still an elected official despite HIS backround.

His remarks weren't racially insensitive, they were ideologically insensitive.

Translation of the bloated one's remarks: all conservatives are knuckledraggers.

When I first heard his remarks,I thought of : Rush Limbaugh

Much has been made of Rush Limbaugh's going into drug rehab for one month.The main stream press will not leave it alone.

Perhaps Ted Kennedy should look into some sort of rehab,with the permission of the mainstream press of course.

He is after all,one sick puppy.

It is what liberals think conservatives are,unlearned ignorant,uncivilized,not progressed into the enlightened liberal/leftist thinking.Ape like men,beasts.I've used the word but never as a racial epithet.I usually use it to describe ignorance or crude,rude behavior.

It would only be racist if a Republican said it. If a Dem says it, it gets ignored.

Kennedy will get a pass because he's the hero of the left.

IMO that's a good thing (that he's their hero), because it means the demise of the party is at hand.

The Problem with the Imperial Royal Aristocracy this country insists on having stems from two places, Massachusetts and Coli-Fornia. Whether you marry into this Royal Compound or if you are a Natural Born Traitorin the family, it matters little. The problem stems from the people electing them over and over and sending them to Congress or grooming them for Higher Political Office.

To solve this National Dilemma they must be defeated at the polls every time an election comes up. Particularly the people of Massachussets are taged with the responsibility to soundly defeat this powerful evil force in their state! They breed like a swarm of flies and are found everywhere stinking up everything they touch. Every Kennedy of this klan is a potential enemy of America. Don't allow yourself to become beguiled by these squatters of long past Camelot! If its named Kennedy it has to be voted out and away! This family has its own vision of a Monarchy and its time to disband this National Evil once and for all!

I would say Kennedy is a crude,rude unenlightened man as exibited by his way of speaking about conservative judges,or indeed the President's reason for going to war.He is a leftist ,partisan neanderthal.

Why do they get a free pass? Because they are socialists! They believe in taking from those who have ambition in life and giving to the freeloaders and thugs. The far left wackos like Ted actually believe that capitalism is racist by design. They think it was invented to keep certain groups rich and others poor.

I agree that this was not a racial attack. Let's not be like liberals and see race in everything. He was insulting them pure and simple.
