Right-Wing smear? "Mary Jo Kopechne" overtakes "Ted Kennedy" on Twitter's Trending Topics

The Boston Phoenix ^ | 8/26/09 | Some whiner...does it matter who?

[Hildy]

Thank you for the mention!

[Charles Martel]

...who knew the Republican attack machine could out-Twitter its progressive rivals?

I suspect this is really due to the vast number of people who never before heard about Mary Jo. Ted croaked and the topic came up - and the subject of a young woman being left to drown in Kennedy's car just seems more interesting to the Twitter crowd. Imagine that.

“ghoulishly insensitive”

Huhh..?? The truth is the truth no matter how much you kick and scream about it. What kind of denial are the Liberals living in if they thought THAT particular truth would go away and disappear? PLLEEASE!

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

"We expected a right-wing smear campaign against the late Ted Kennedy,..."

I must have missed the investigations, hearings, or trials, which exonerated Kennedy of killing Kopechne.

[noname07718]

Made his kids instant BASTARDS by having his marriage annulled and committing adultery with his current Trophy wife. She must have some character.

“We expected a right-wing smear campaign against the late Ted Kennedy”

If libs wanted to avoid that, they could have ran him out of politics when it happened, as they should have.

[Rick_Michael]

I knew about one of them. You have any links to read on the others ie anything but the young lady drowning...?

thanks.

[Notwithstanding]

Look at

Bill

Clinton.

Oh, I’m sorry. I guess we’re supposed to throw a tarp over Mary Jo’s grave so as not to impede the hero-worship of old Teddy.

The MSM would like that very much, yes. It irks them to no end that they're no longer able to steer public discourse.

Awwwww....

[J40000]

I know. But when anyone hears the name Nixon, the next word that pops into their mind will be ‘Watergate’, right?

Same goes for Ted Kennedy, only that word is ‘Chappaquiddick’.

And the left are baffled by this.

[RatRipper]

The leftists practicing their customary revisionist history:

Trying to venerate a low-life,self-absorbed,self-agrandizing, patronizing, two-timing,socialist,intemperate chump.

. . . and I probably omitted something . . . help me out here Freepers

[Da Coyote]

I guess that the fact that Kennedy murdered a woman and got the whole thing swept under the rug is just not as important as the Obamaloon’s limp-d*ck attempt at leadership, eh?

[Tublecane]

“Smear? So it didnt’ happen? Because that’s what a smear is”

That’s what it commonly means. And that’s the implication, of course, that Kennedy doesn’t deserve it. But he is a murderer, and we wouldn’t be talking about him now if not for his last name. He deserves to be besmirched.

[bigbob]

Truth is, 99.99% of “right wingers” would die happy if they never ever heard one more mention of anything related to the Kennedys for the remainder of their years.

[coloradomomba]

and yet, I don't seem to recall Kennedy's name and Kopechne linked as often in the 40 years afterward, unlike Nixon, who's middle name became Watergate from the moment it happened up and until his death.

[Da Coyote]

Something we all forgot about. Did not the Kennedyslime pay the Catholic church to “anull” his marriage - after he had slimed the world with additional defective DNA...so that he could marry another victim - er - wife?

Can you be more specific — You pretty much just described the entire left...

[jeffc]

A quick search on the bostonphoenix website shows they were not very friendly to Ronald Reagan. I guess what goes around, comes around!

This should not go without a musical tribute from Family Guy.

I hope Patches gets drunk enough at the wake to sing this song for the YouTubers...

Peter: Oh, he doesn't smell like Irish Spring,
And he never taught me anything,
But still I slap my chest and sing -
Of My Drunken Irish Dad.
Oh, his face looks like a railroad map,
And he never shuts his freakin' trap...

Mickey: But all the ladies catch the clap
From your Drunken Irish Dad.

Peter: Ask a Hennessey, Tennessey, Morrison,
Shaughnessy, Reardon, and Rooney...
They'll tell you the same
McNulty, Mulrooney, and Carter and Clooney,
All feel the same mixture of pride and of
shame.

Mickey: Finnegan, Hannigan, Kelly, and Flanagan.
Look to the ground while their dad passes by
Cafferty, Rafferty, Joyce and O'Lafferty,
Fight for his honor and then start to cry!

(People in the bar dance and brawl while others play the fiddle, tin whistle, and concertina.)

Both: Oh, we Irish lads are all infirm,
And our moods infect us like a germ
'Cause we're all the spawn of a pickled sperm...

Mickey: (Spoken) And we don't tan well either.

All: ...From a Drunken Irish Dad!!

I HOPE SHE WAS WAITING FOR HIM WHEN HE WOKE UP ON THE OTHER SIDE...
