In Ted Kennedy, Hillary Kclinton, John Kerry, Joe Kbiden, Harry Kreid, any pig of the communist Marxist’s Dimocrat party, in their Amerika, the red flag with a hammer and sickle would be on it. The United Socialist’s Soviet States of Amerika. That is what they are aiming for. And, with the help of STUPID Amerika, they are getting it.

He leaves a legacy far worse that Senator Joseph McCarthy. May Kennedy's name be remembered for the real dangerous partisan witchhunts.

Swimmer Ted. What a repugnant stain on the history of our nation.

[chiefqc]

Look like he has lost about a ton.

Kennedy’s outburt about Bork was a golden opportunity for President Reagan to lay him out politically for the scumbag hypocrite he truly is.

That Reagan choose not to do so is one of those ‘what if’ political moments you just shake your head at.

When Reagan didn’t respond forcefully, bumblers like John Warner sided with the Democrats.

Imagine if we conservatives had won that round, folks.

Instead, we got Justice Sandra ‘Maybe yes, but maybe not’ O’connor.

Big air bags are a must in any car ride w/ Senator Kennedy.

We really do need a Charles Pierce Frontiers in Journalism Award for the most asinine comment of the year.

“In 1991, Bush nominated Clarence Thomas for the high court, and Democrats attempted to replay their Bork triumph and likewise destroy Thomas. But Thomas would not be goaded into the meat grinder. This remains the outrage according to liberals today: He refused to go quietly into the night.”

There was an added element which wasn’t present in 1987. When Clarence Thomas came under attack and Anita Hill made her scurrilous lies public, Republicans FOUGHT BACK!!!!

I wonder if he was compromised by the KGB SATAN sometime in the 60’s.

Thats better...

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again. America is a lesser nation because it did not have Robert Bork on the USSC.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

****In 1992, Bill Clinton introduced the phrase “the politics of personal destruction” to the lexicon.****

I believe that phrase was what Clinton said after his impeachment in 1999.

[Beckwith]

I blame Saul Alinsky and his acolyte, Hillary Clinton.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

I agree....that my one criticism that he did not fight more for Robert Bork.

Surprisingly the pearl of knowledge in this piece is that sometime, somewhere a Ted Kennedy will start it, and the only way to deal with this fact is to prepare, and then, bring it.

Failure to meet these attacks is a prime reason for disinterest in Republicans today.

Once started, this will never go away, but borked Republican supporters like Scooter Libby will.

Politics is simply war by other means. People need to realize that leftists hate what we believe and seek its extermination from the face of the planet. Seem in this frame, Ted Kennedy becomes a rational, if not sober, actor.

I read a really good book on the Supreme Court by Greenburg and stated that Bork went into the confirmation hearings too arrogant and unprepared. This was a conservative book too. Don’t ask me about it I was a teenager and could care less about the situation. In fact, I never heard of Bork until I joined FREEPERS.
