I bet she stays off bridges though.

Arab American wife of Ted Kennedy stumps for Kerry :

[AbramsGunnerE5]

I guess she is snubbing Arab American Ralph Nader....

[starfish923]

She said she knows deep in her heart what kind of man John Kerry is. "I would call him pro-peace, not pro-Israel," she insisted.

Why hasn't Kerry's "not pro-Israel" stance been emphasized? You would think that the neo-cons, who control so much of the media, would highlight that until the cows come home.

[cowboyway]

Well how bout that. Ol' splash has been doing a little middle east drilling of his own. ;~)

[visualops]

I hate this hyphenated American crap.
She should be calling herself a darn American with Lebanese grandparents. To hear her talk you'd think she just came off the boat. I'll bet you a dollar to a donut she doesn't speak Arabic either.

Ted Kennedy has an Arab wife! Maybe that helps explain his attitude about the war in Iraq and his hateful statements about Bush and those conducting the war.

Could teddy boy be an Islamic sympathizer?

[beckaz]

You can also bet the ranch that she is a Christian Arab.

[Dave Elias]

Depends whether she's a muslim or not I suppose

"She said she knows deep in her heart what kind of man John Kerry is. "I would call him pro-peace, not pro-Israel," she insisted. "

Peace kills.

[HoustonTech]

I wonder if Kennedy will get his girl friends to stump for Kerry too.

"I guess she is snubbing Arab American Ralph Nader...."

Well, I never knew this woman was an Arab American until this very moment. I never knew about Nader until this year either, I believe he is of Lebanese descent also.

My next question, are they both Christians? I'm assuming Mrs. Kennedy is, how about Nader?

It's a curious thing, there seems to be great solidarity between Christian Arabs and Muslim arabs, which lasts right up until the Muslim Arabs start killing the Christian Arabs, and yet, and yet, I never hear Christian Arabs asked about this. I've heard some Christian Arabs bemoaning it, esp. the Copts from Egypt, but I never hear people like Mrs. Kennedy (assuming I'm right and she is a Christian) asked about it.

[Henchman]

The more Arab Americans come out for Kerry, endorsements etc., the sooner the Jewish Voters wake up and go Republican... and the sooner we stop the unbridled immigration, legal and illegal that Kennedy unleashed!

[sarasota]

The writer calls her the "big gun"? Hahahahahaha.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Well, how nice of her to make this clarification.

Teddy is the idiot brother, the drunk.
