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

Good job!

Good point, MEG. It is Kennedy who is the 'Neanderthal'.....crude, boorish, behaviorally handicapped..........oh, forget that.

I've read recently that they think Neanderthals were actually cultured. That leaves Teddy out........

<> Maybe worse than a sunburn - probably skin cancer.

[MEG33]

Oops,that destroys my delight in turning his words against him!However,as Webster defines the slang definition of neanderthal, I'll stand by my statement!

[ohioWfan]

Go with Webster, MEG.

All kidding aside, where IS the media outcry at these statements? Don't they care about their credibility at all?

I mean, OBVIOUSLY they are biased, but you'd think that they'd want to maintain a modicum of believeability with SOMEONE.

Has ANY leftist media source said anything about this nasty, condescending comment?

[jmstein7]

No.

[trustandobey]

Bump to the top..Liberals get a CLUE,
it is over for you, because now YOU are the ones who will be held accountable.

[onyx]

Way to go! You keep right on top of the democrats and their hypocrisy.

You're making me an activist whether I want to or not!

[ohioWfan]

UNbelieveable!

Well, not really.

[MEG33]

I think Teddy doesn't shock anyone anymore.I have no ,zilch,nada respect for the man so he doesn't have much effect on me.

The left has a pass by the press.It has been this way for all my life.I am so thrilled to have the internet and someone besides Wm. Buckley writing conservative thought

.When did you see a movie that exposed the evils of communism,the murder,starvation and concentration camps?

[Toespi]

Evidently the people of Massachussetts like this type of diatribe. Kennedy has been given a blank check from these people for years and he never lets them down. They must be really hateful and vengeful people.

WHY NOT ACCUSE TEDDY OF ELITISM:

Oliver(true story}

Unusual in that he walks in a bipedal gait and enjoys the company of people--or did when he was younger. He was originally brought into the U.S. with 12 other chimpanzees but immediately stood out as different. He learned to drink, enjoy coffee and beer, and smoke cigars. In the evenings he would sit on a sofa and watch television. If his caregivers were out of coffee, he would walk into the kitchen, pour a cup, and take it into the den. As he got older, he made sexual advances on the wife and as a result was sold. Now living in retirement in Texas.

[GrandMoM]

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.

....yep, he was discribing himself!!!

1 also Ne·an·der·tal /-"tol, -"täl/ : being, relating to, or resembling Neanderthal man.
2 : suggesting a caveman in appearance, mentality, or and behavior

[sully777]

I will not write ANYONE! Edward Kennedy has a constitutional right to speak his mind. If I were to condemn him I admit that my words can be legitimately condemned as well.

I hate PC in all forms and from all sides.

And once again, nothing will be done.

Freaking shame.

There is one way to take care of this. Stop buying newspapers. Protest by reducing circluation numbers.

"F***king Jew Bastard" -- Hillary Clinton.

I don't recall any uproar over these remarks...

--Boris

[AngrySpud]

" ... he called them knuckle draggers".

You have it correct. "Neanderthals" might be considered backwards or not advanced in thinking or social concepts. But it's not racist.

Now, if Teddy had called them "apes" or "monkeys", it would be different. Teddy is a jerk, but calling him a racist based on that comment makes *us* look like jerks.

Neanderthal = RIGHT WING

Here's my email to CORE. IF they respond, I'll post it here.

Hi, Quoting from your website, " Under the banner of "TRUTH! LOGIC! & COURAGE!", CORE will continue to promote harmony and healing in all aspects of society; calling the shots straight--even when it hurts--and combating the haters, race baiters and racial racketeers bent on keeping us apart," please let me know of your plans for handling Senator Kennedy's characterization of Miguel Estrada and Janice Rogers Brown as "Neanderthals." You do intend to react to this, don't you? Isn't this what your organization is all about?

Thanks for reading my email,

upchuck

[sauropod]

You are buying into the political correctness of the Left.

Must the whole populace constantly look over its shoulder in fear of saying anything "racially insensitive?"

Not that i agree w/ wet Teddy, just that eggshell walking is not a particular forte of mine.
